DEsTRuCTIoS OF A Cry BY AN EARTH
QUAKE. The English papers received by
the Etna announces the entire destruc-
ton of the ancient city of Erzroom, in
Turkey, by repeated shocks of earth
quake within the last three months.
The first earthquake occurred June LIST,
and letter from one Of the missionaries
of the American board gives vivid de-
scription of the first great shock. He
says;
1.-The first shock, which was not very
severe, was felt about 8 o'clock, A. NJ,
June | and at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, the
following day, came the fearful earth
quake, which laid in ruins 600 houses.
nearly destroying 1900 more, and in
juring | POO others, leaving. (according
to the accounts of Turkish officials) over
l,300 houses unframed, but I do not
believe that there are 100 houses in FRY
room as sound as they were before the
earthquake. The shock was not only
felt throughout the city, but the villages
on the plain, and even at Hassan- Kallah
twenty miles to the east.
According to official returns, $50
dead bodies have been taken out from the
ruins, about 200 wounded, and 60 are
missing. The heavy shock, which did
the mischief, is said to have continued
about eight seconds, and it was followed
by three others less severe, the same
day. Shocks, more or less severe, were
also felt at intervals during eight con-
secutiye days, since which there has been
perfect quiet, and the work of building
and repairing is now going on as rapidly
as possible.
ut is singular fact that the destruc-
ton was almost entirely confined to the
Moslem quarter Of the city, and only
twelve Christians lost their lives. None
of our Protestant friends we're injured
though several barely escaped with life
One woman, sister of our native preach
er, b. Johannes, feeling the waving to
and fro Of the house, seized her two lit
tie children and escaped in time to see
roof and wall come down with a crash
where she had been sitting. Part of
another house, adjoining ours, was crush
ed, but no one was harmed. The two
mission houses were injured, but not
very seriously"

PoLIrIcAL PURITY. The following
which we copy from the Baltimore Ex-
change, will give our readers some idea
of the sort Of men nominated by the
Know nothing party to mete out justice
in Baltimore City:
Or Magistracy-- The Coming Men
We cut the following from the Wash
ington Star of Monday afternoon. We
believe it is the twentieth ward Of this
city which has manifested its appreciation
of the judicial qualifications of MIR. Wood
ward by nominating him to take part in
the reign of law and order foreshadowed
in the approaching election:
= 4 Baltimore Magistrate. We learn
that West Woodward has been nominated
for the post Of police magistrate in one Of
she police districts of Baltimore City
Many of our citizens will recognize in
West one Of the chief actors in the cell
ebrated election riots of June, 1857, in
this city, for which offence he was indict-
ed by the grand jury. West left for
Baltimore, where he kept out of the way
until the non-action of the authorities
here gave him courage to come back,
which he did, and i'll company with one
John Suter hourished about, and iafested
sundry localities here, where he hoasted
that there was not policeman in Wash
ington who could arrest him. Shortly,
however, he and Suter got engaged in a
row at house of ill-fame in Marble AL
ley, and the watch breaking in, arrested
the pair, West with arevolver in his hand =,
and Suter with large dirk. They were
taken before Captain Goddard, who fined
them each $50, and in default of pay
ment they were sent to the workhouso
They shortly found friends, however, who
went security for them, and they were
released, and forfeitiug their securities
went hack IN Baltimore

exhibition of this society is to be held
as heretofore stated, at Frederick, from
the 25th to the 28th of October, on the
grounds owned by the State, and used
by the County Society. The Rural Reg

The grounds of the society comprise

dairy of Frederick city, and contains four
teen acres, with extensive buildings, suit
able for the several Offices Of the society,
and also for the exhibition of articles in
the household department, and the vari-
Gus manufactures usually on exhibition
at our shows. In addition to which, four
acres have been leased near the armory
lot, which have been enclosed Herewith
making the whole area nearly equal to
our show grounds near this city this adj

mittee to extend the space required for
the horse track, which it is intended to
put in the best order; the stalls and pens
were also to be fixed up, and every thing
was being done necessary to give oclat to

A Losr CnILD STARVED TO DEATH IN
THE FOREST The National of Wodncs-
day last, published in Lima, Allen county,
Ohio, relates the melancholy particulars
of the loss liz the forest, four miles from
that town, Of the little daughter, aged
six years, of Mr.. King, whose fate was
not known for nine days, and then her
dead body was found. The child it APP
bears, went out with several other chill.
drcn to a field, and started alone to re.
turn to the house, when it missed its way
and became lost in dense woods. Thu
National says:
The people of Putnam county, from
all parts Of the county, turned out day
after day to search for it, and traversed
the whole woods for eight or nine miles
around, during the whole nine days, by
four or five hundred per day. On the
ninth day it was found within two miles
from where it had first strayed, naked
and dead, lying on its belly over two logs,
as if it had fallen and was too weak to
rise again. It's little bonnet was hung
on limb, and also its frock and clothes ;
perhaps the little one thought Of going
to bed, or more probably, hung up its
clothes to dry after the heavy storm OF
Thursday night before it was found -
Il had built play-houses to while away its
loneliness in the wild woods, and had
sucked off the fallen timbers for yards
the moss for sustenancc. 1t had waited
for mother and fathers coming to take it
home for many days, and had played in
the hope of their coming; but they could
not find it, though so near to them. =
When found it had evidently died within
few hours; the body had undergone no
putrefaction The poor mother, we learn,
has nearly lost her reason-and no won
der Those nine days of terrible and
soul-harrowing suspense, who can con
ceive it for her!

to be as effective as a dozen temperance
lectures. 1t says that young man nam
cd Lewis, Of that county, drank whisky
on the Both Of July which burnt his
throat and stomach and made him yomit,
not unusual occurrences with more IL
quors than whiskey. The next day he
drank again, and in the afternoon, an
hour or so after swallowing the last glass,
he was seized with commissions which last
ed six hours, and contorted his body
and limbs terribly His toes was drawn
in upon the soles Of his feet, his fingers
in on his palms, and his head and feet
back toward each other till they met and
bent his body in a circle. His jaws were
locked fast and could not be opened at
ALL but he retained his consciousness. -
For ten days, at intervals Of one to five
hours, these spasms have returned, but
happily with entire unconclousncss in the
patient since the first ones.
