EARTHQUAKE AT ST. LouIs--The st. Louis
papers of the 9th are all talking about the
Shock of an earthquake just felt there. The
Republican says:
Yesterday morning the city was visited by
one of those mighty commissions OF nature
which set the world to thinking. Two dis
tinct shocks of an earthquake were sensibly
felt from the one end Of our city to the ex-
tremest verge Majestic edifices, reared by
the labor of man, rocked upon their bases,
the earth moved from her accustomed recti-
tude and quaked beneath us, the river was
raised in tumult, and many men shook with
fear and trembling.
The first shock was distinctly felt. There
were but few persons whose slumbers were
so heavy that they did not experience it.
From such persons as we conversed with
and from our own sensations, we believe 1t
was ID about ten minutes after 4 A. M, last
ing about thirty seconds. Its fir st effect was
not of great force, but as it oiled along 1t
grew gradually stronger, until in its heav-
ings, it seemed to be rocking the houses to
and fro. Then people awoke as their win
dows ratified as their beds swayed, and as
the light articles which mounted their man
tel-pieces fell to the floor. There was a
grand rush to windows, and heads hung
out, with alarm depicted upon the counte-
nauces which distinguished them; other
people found their way into the middle Of
the streets, where they felt somewhat more
secure until the thing was over.
L ell l,,t
there are no two people who agree as to the
length of time which elapsed between the
two.s It was not very violent, the more es-
pecially Is compared with the former quake;
as force, however, was sufficient to make the
still waking people feel the t,emuous motion
of their beds.
The accompaniment of the shocks can be
placed in but one aspect of resemblance as
to ordinary noises. There was great rumz
bling, like the passage of a heavy vehicle
over our pavements, while the shock itself
may aptly 70 ikened to the effect produced by
the working of a steam engine, which, after
laboring to pass the centre lets itself gently
down.
We have not yet heard any great amount
OF actual carnage cone. some ie" sniaii
articles were broken in many houses by fall
ing A three-story house occupied by Mr.
Landry, on Wash street, was cracked from
top to bottom. Bells We're rung in several
houses, as for instance in that of DIR. McPhee-
tiers, and some few people on their more nat
ural waking had temporarily lost their sem
ses, as for example, one gentleman of the
bar who, living near the college, could not,
with all his eyes, discover the steeple.
The shocks were distinctly felt, not only
in the city, but all around. 1t seemed to
come in a southerly, or, perhaps, south-wes-
terly direction, extending, as we learn, for
miles on either side of us. The wide prairies
of Illinois felt the jar, the cities below us ex-
perenced its effect, and perhaps m ore forci-
bly, than we.
