EARInoUAKEs II JAPAN AND CALIFoRSIA.-
By the arrival of he steamship Prometheus at
New Orleans on the 18th, Intelligence has been
received by way of San Francisco of terrible
earthquake in Japan on the 1Tth of November,
by which the city of Jeddo was destroyed. 1t
is estimated that one Hundred thousand houses
were demolished, burying in their ruins thirty

same time in thirty different parts of the city,
and as the consuming flames were encircling
the buildings, the earth would open s">' then
-Peeasly close over them and their unfortunate
inmates who knew not whittier to fee.
A severe shock OF an earthquake was also
experienced in California, on the 18th Febru-
ary. In San Francisco and other towns many
buildings were more or less injured, some hay-

through the houses in their night clothes, seek

shock was felt throughout the State, and by
vessels lying in the harbor, and the waters of
the bay at San Francisco were much agitated
No lives, it is thought, were lost. Many per-
SONS, who lived in large brick buildings, after
the shock took up temporary quarters in wood

"READ IT.''-We have received lengthy
communication, with the above heading, from
a respectable citizen of Norris township, con-
tanning the proceedings of meeting of the
School Directors Of that township, at which a
motion was made by one of the Board to the
effect that the school houses sho-ld be open
for the preaching of the gospel. Our cores
pondent says the motion sswas met with great
vehemence and violently opposed by three of
the Directors Of the one, he remarks, .swe
should not think it strange that he would OPP
pose the gospel, being a Roman Catholic 4
motion, made by one of the Board, for the e.
rection of a school house at the lower end of
the township, where the greater part of the
children, according to the writer, have been
deprived, from want of a building, of the ia
eilities OF education for nearly eight years,
met with similar fate; and he inquiries,
"where would we soon find ourselves if our
common school system should be taken away
and the gospel removed from our midst
Would we not be likely to sink into ignorance
and superstition" We are sorry to learn
that any man, or set of men, in the county,
shonld endeayor to prevent the preaching of
the Word of God, by refusing the use of build
ings, under their control, for that purpose.
