The citizens of Petersburgh propose to con-
tribute toward carrying out this project and
secure to themselves benefit therefrom, by
slack water navigation. This will be accom-

the canal at divers and sund-y eligible points
Two small boys were seen day or two since

REPORTED BY UP TOWN, ESQ.

GONG! GoING!!-Its only the familiar voice
of friend Nelson over the way, as he dwells on
some article about to be STRUCK Off under his
discriminating and memorable hammer. Nell
son is unwittingly historian, BRIEF terse,
correct historian, without being cynical; for he
cries, that others may laugh; he tells each uti-
rejecting listener, in three portentous Words
the doleful part of his own history-gotng!
goinqu GoNE!!! cries with fearless eyes over
those whose failings nave brought them to the
ings, in an imperative mood; and active voice;
qualities his wares by irregular and defective
comparison; and finds in the misf6rthnes Of
others, the copulatiye CONJUNCTION; which links
his own profit with their loss
But Nelson is a more thorough historian
than even those for whom the press has Ia
bored through centuries; he follows the sad
story to the end He who writes the progress
of the words history only cries. as he leaps
from period to period; from era To era; ''goihgl
going!!" and death palsies his hand, while the
world and time are still 'going" The old man
whose locks are sil4ered with the boar frosts
of three score and ten years, whose feeble
limbs bear him lettering toward his goal may
point to the grave and with trembling voice
warn us that we are "going! going!!" bat the
tongue that alone could tell how ''the vital
spark" the feeble aame flickered, flickered and
expired, is bound in mystic silence. The man
of God may proclaim from the sacred desk,
Sabbath after Sabbath; the fleeting measure OF
life; may point out from the divine chart 1.-THE
way" but even that divine chart which cir
cumcludes all his own knowledge of this
'feeting BREATH" ohly tells US that we are
"going! going!9' Relics Of forgetting past; the
remains of long extinct races; the hfeless FORMS
of departed friends, and even the wonderful
mechanism of our own physical systems pas
sing from infancyto maturity and from matu-
rity verging toward decay; may tell us in
rather harsh language that we are "going! go
ing!" that

EARTHQUAKE AT SAN FRANCIsco.-On
was experienced at San Francisco. The
Bay papers are filled with the particulars
and incidents attending the shakes We
quote from the Alta:
AS elsewhere stated, it occurred at about
twenty three minutes past five o'clock on
Friday morning. The shock was preceded
and attended at its commencement by a
very heavy and distinct report, which some
what resembled the roaring or rushing of
heavy sea, and also that of distant thunder,
or artillery. In other words, it was sort
of combination of those sounds, and such as
to impress the least imaginative with pro-
found awe, if not terror. The vibrations,
which were from north to south, lasted
about twenty seconds, and were so forcible
as to awaken nearly every sleeper in the
city. We have only heard of one person
among all our inquiries, who was not sensi-
bic of the shock. Certain it is that every
building in the city was swayed to and fro
by this wonderful motion of the earth.-
People sleeping in the most substantial
NiiNh III HCdL u VI OAO lily
that are arranged in compact blocks, were
suddenly awakened by the great violence of
the convulsion.
We have learned of no serious injury to
property, or the loss of any lives, but the
effects of the earthquake are plainly visible
frome one end of the city to the other
The principal damage done is to the walls
of plastered buildings, which are more or
less cracked in large portion of buildings,
and in many instances the plastering has
fallen off. The fall of the fire wall from
the top of the store of Messrs. Goodwin &
Co., at the corner of Front and Oregon
streets, is perhaps the most striking evi-
dence of its power. The wall was about
one hundred feet long, four feet high and
one foot thick, being all that extended above
the roofing, and was thrown in a body upon
the sidewalk about six or eight feet from
the base of the building.
