ERzRoou DESTROYED. Tho English papers
received by the Etna announce the destruc-
ton Of the ancient city of f zroom in Turk
ish America by repeated shocks of Earth
quake 4 letter from one of the Missionaries
Of the American Board gives a vivid descrip-
ton of the first great shock. He says
THE first great shock, which was not very
severe. was felt about s o'clock, 4. NJ, June
l and at ten o'clock, A. NJ. the following
dav (June 2nd) came the fearful earthquake
which laid in ruins 2000 houses, nearly des-
troyed 1900 more, and injured some 1900
others; leaving according to Turkish officials
over 1900 houses unharmed; but do not be-
lieye that there are 100 houses in Erzroom
as sound as they were before the earthquake
The shock was not only felt throughout the
city. but in the villages on the plain, and
even at HaSsan- Kallah, twenty miles to the
east.
According to official returns, $50 dead bod
les have been taken out from the ruins at
bout 200 wounded, and 90 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 pos
sible.
The course of the earthquake seems to
have followed the direction of the mountain
ranges, viz, northeast and south west, and
the greatest destruction was in the upper
part of the city, or nearest the foot OF the
mountain. Buildings firmly CONSTRUCTED, OF /
newly erected, were injured comPaTTaelIWIlJ1
little, while Others by their side were ler
with the ground. The Armenian faPai
and other churches. all of when are IN the
lower mart of the city, were but slightly DAM
ocad while mosoues in other quarters were
L9dIy injured or ruined, and large number
of roinorets were thrown down.
II IS a singular fact, that the destruction
was almost entirely confined to the Moslem
quarters of the City and only twelve Chris
tians lost their lives. None of our Protest
ant friends were injured, though several bare
" escaped with life One woman, sister of
our native preacher, B. Hohannes, feeling
the waving to and fro Of the house, seized
her two little children and escaped, in time
to see the roof and wall come down with
crash where she had been sitting. Part OF
another house, adjoining ours, was crushed,
but no one was harmed. The two mission
houses were injured, but not very seriously y.
The population of nearly the entire City
was turned out of doors and it was indeed II

morning, TO see the outskirts covered and the
streets lined with tents, some of canvass and
others of bits of cloth and carpeting. the
remnants left to the poor after the general

FHrY-sEvEN BUSHELS OF WHEAT To THE
AcRE.-The Ontario Observer is informed
that farmer in Reach had field of about
Is acres of wheat. which did not, whilst
standing, appear to be unusually heavy; but
after threshing, he was surprised and de-
lighted to find 1T yield 81 bushels to the acre!
Neither is this a solitary instance, says the
Obsercer, for we understand the average yield
of Fall Wheat in this township will be from
80 to 80 bushels TO the acre. Usually the
farming community are given to grumblIng,
and are proverbial for their discomfort but
this fall they are mostly so situated that it
would be positively sinful to murmur in the
least degree. Never was there more abund-
ant supply of the necessaries Of life Provi-
dence has indeed dealt bountifully with US,
and in return for so many and varied bless
ings we should not omit to return our sincere
and heartfelt thanks to the :: giver of all
good things"

AN ANCIENT CoMPAss.-There is a mari
ner's compass in the possession of gentleman
of this town, which is remarkable alike for its
antiquity and for its historical associations.
Its age is one hundred and forty years, which
is shown from the inscriptions on its card
"Eccit--iil-~L irorRo--Aano l719," fmade in
Leghorn in the year 1719) and yet it tells its
tale as truly, and points to that still unknown
pole as well as the most approved compass Of
modern construction. 1t was on board the
ship General jackson when that ship was cap
tured, and from the great antiquity of that
vessel, it is thought that it might have been
made for her. The General jackson was cap
tured from the British, during the last war, by
the privateer Yankee, of this port, when on
her voyage from Liverpool to Rio with cargo
valued at upwards of 100000. At the time
of her capture, she was named the ''San
Josa de la India, and was under Portuguese
colors but the Court having reasons to sup
pose that the vessel, as well as the cargo,
was at thestime owned in England, condemned
both, and ordered the whole sold, and the car
Co. being of dry goods, brought the immense
price above alluded to. The "San Jose de la
India" was built in the Portuguese province of
Goa in the West Indies. The exact date of
her construction is not known, but at the time
of her capture she was known to have been
very ancient, and it is supposed that her age
was coeval with that of her compass. She was
built entirely of Teak wood, and when, in
1918, some repairs were made upon her upper
works, it was ascertained that she had been
originally man-ofwar, and that the port
holes had been closed up. Her model was very
odd, her bow resembling somewhat an old fash
Toned dinner pot, which, however, was the us
ual fashion of building vessels during the last
century. This venerable old ship was destroy
ed by fire about twelve years since, while on
her passage to New Orleans. Had 1t not been
for this disaster, she doubtless would have been
in a good condition now, for when last repaired
she appeared to be as solid as any new vessel
