THE EARTHQUAKE AT MONTEREY AND Los An
GEIEs-A correspondent of the Bulletin, writ
ing from Los Angeles says: "A severe shock
of an earthquake was felt here this morning
(Jan. 9th) at half past eight O'Clock. The mo-
ton seemed to be east and west. The Oscilla-
ton of the earth resembled the long swell of the
seat literally swayed backwards and for
wards like the rocking of waves, so that it was
with great difficulty one could stand up. Ar
ticles hung overhead in houses, swung to and
fro like so many pendulums, Clocks were
stopped The water in the river and za'yas was
turned back or overhowed the banks. The
damage done to buildings was slight, as the
motions were long and lateral, instead of sud
den, violent and vertical"
Another correspondent, writing from Monte
rey, says: "a smart shock Of an earthquake,
apparently wave coming from the west and
north, and making its line for the south and
east-was felt at Monterey about seven o'clock
in the morning of Friday. the 9th inst. 1t shook
some of the oldest adobe buildings in the town,
but did no harm whatsoever to things animate
or inanimate."
The Nevada Democrat., 1857-01-21

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN,-T The San Joaquin
Republican records the following singular phe-
nomenon, which happened ON the morning the
earthquake was felt
"a gentleman who was hunting near Slacklow
on Friday last, witnessed very singular phe-
nomenon, which he describes as follows. He
was standing on the bank of one of the little
lakes which are found in the tules, watching for
ducks. All at once he heard rustling in the
water, resembling the noise that would be made
by animals wading through the shoal. His at
tention being called to the popularity OF the
noise, he stood watching for few moments,
when large swell came rolling and dashing
violently against the shores, and in places run
ming over the plain to distance OF several
hundred yards The bank where our informant
stood, was covered by the swell to the depth of
two or three feet. The swell seemed to roll
northward, as though the centrifugal motion OF
the earth had momentarily ceased In short
time the waters settled back and again became
placid.
