e. ticulnrs of the EnrthquaISe. 1H
Late papers from Hayti, to the l4th nit.
give interesting additional particulars of the
earthquake there. The Fsuilte de Commerce
says: ra' r5flai.drJo asI1 .ui .m.d -
II For the last seven days our population has
been in state of excitement in consequence
Of the repeated shocks of earthquake, which
have taken place both day and night. 1t was
on Easter Sunday, April g. that the first
shock was felt, at about five o'clock in the
morning. At that moment procession was
entering the church, and a large number Of
people were in the streets. The ground
trembled for seven or eight seconds, the peo-
pie fed and several walls were thrown down
But about half-past ten o'clock in the even
ing another shock, much more severe than
that of the morning, occurred, lasting fifteen
or twenty seconds; as in the first, the oscil-
lations were from the north to the south.
This was not unattended with damage. A
partially built house in the Grand Rue fell
with terrible crash, and several others, es-
pecially near the wharves, were so damaged
as to be untenantable.
The news that arrives from the South is
sad and disastrous. In the cities of Leo
game, Grand Goaye, Petit Goave and Mira
goane there was little harm done; but at
Ansa-a-V Veau, we regret to learn, thirty
houses have been destroyed, and over sixty
were rendered uninhabitable. So far, we
hear Of only a few persons injured. The ad-
vices from Cages are reassuring, as also the
news from the villages of the North. "
La RepubIique ofthe 18th says: -r.-..
: "From that time easter Sunday to the
present moment we scarcely passed an hour
without more shocks. Twenty to thirty
have been counted since the commencement
of the manifestations of this terrible phenom-
enon, and unhappily, if during the last day
they have been less severe, they have been
more frequent Some people maintain the
oscillations are almost continual"
The same paper reports l24 houses des-
troyed or damaged at Anse-a-Veau. At that
place, too, the sea retired and rushed to the
Shore again with awful force. Wide chasms
yawned open in one of the principal streets
and the inhabitants fed to the hills for ref

secured his head, toponmel It as long and as

the neck pretty tight, it Is improbable that
his antagonist will permit him to retain his

squeezes causes his antagonist to become pre-
maturely black in the face, which is not un-

and so much the better him, that is all.

was entirely in accordance with them, and
that If II had not been, and If he mad been
pronounced to have acted foully by the ref

Again, he seems to suffer in public estima-
ton because he is bigger than Sayers. That
is certainly his advantage, but Il is not his
fault. He challenged the best man in Eng

Sayers deserves all credit for having con-
tinued the fight so long with his right arm
disabled by the terrible blows of Heenan.
But surely Heenan deserves, perhaps, more
credit for having so disabled Sayers than
Sayers does for having bunged up and blinded
Heenan's eyes. =. Q tfSS'h -''

If the English party, the stronger, had been
anxious that the fight should go on, think
that the doctrine Of probabilities leads us to
suppose that it would have gone if the Amer
lean party, the weaker, fearing their man
would be beaten, had wished it to be stopped,
l think the same doctrine points out to us
that their wishes would not, in all probable
ity, have been gratifed.

Infamous Outrage in PennsyIvania - A
House Robbed and Woman Tortured
With Hot Irons.

With Hot Irons.
Recently the dwelling of j. s. Riday, of
Chester County, Penn, was entered at night,
in his ABSENCE by some thieves, and various
articles carried off. While the villains were
gathering their plunder, Mrs. Riday was
awakened by the noise, and, upon getting up,
discovered several persons in the house, and
Immediately gave the alarm and endeayored
to arouse the hired men who were in the
house asleep, but found this impossible, as
chloroform had been given to the sleepers,
and before they. could be aroused from their
stupor the burglars had time to make good
their escape with their booty.
The following Sunday evening, while most
of the citizens as well as Mr.. Riday's family,
excepting Mrs. Riday, were at church, the
same party, consisting of four persons, rode
up, and one of them entering the dwelling,
while the others remained outside, seized
Mrs. Riday, tying her hands and feet, and,
gagging her, thrust her feet into the stove.
While the woman was thus strugg' ing and
unable to make any alarm, the fend placed a
hot iron from the stove upon her breast, and
told her that they had come for money which
they had missed ON the previous visit, and
threatened to kill her, at the same time bran
dishing knife and cutting off some of her
hair. Just at this moment, colored man
approached the house, when they took the
alarm and rode off. Mrs. Riday is said to be
considerably burnt from the hot iron upon
her bare breast, and from this and other inju.
ries as well as fright received at the time, and
being rather a delicate woman, has since
been lying in critical condition. e..

The Americas Sentinel.

In connection with, the change in the
Sentinel, mentioned by us last week, we
stated what we had heard, that the new ed
itor would make Republican paper of it.
But in the issue of the first number con-
tanning Mr.. Kenyon's salutatory. we see
that he does not take position. He says:
Politically the Sentinel will reflect the
sentiments of the editor, and, so far as prac-
ticable. those entertained by the rest of
mankind If Mr.. KS - sentiments
were Republican. We would suppose that
he had avowed them. We therefore infer
that the paper is to be of the ''milk and
watery" kind-such as marked the unen-
viable career of that journal during the FIRST
three mouths of its existence. There is
now too much of the positive element in
the existence. of men and parties in this
portion of Kansas to admit OF. any middle
grounds in politics and We opiue that if
the editor of the SeRtineI attempts to ride
into popular favor by such policy, he will
fail to achieve that exalted position which
the '"glittering hopes" of an "expectant
public" have placed in him Agents for
the Sentinel prominent Democrats in
Breckenridge and Morris counties. See

EDTToRs or News As the Nesos is supposed to
Be favorable to the Temperance cause, take the
liberty Of addressing you this note relative 10 the
excitement OF last Wednesday, in the arrest of
Charles Bandrsn for selling liquor contrary to the
law Of this Territory. This Bnndren, it is we'll
known, has been for some weeks engaged Ia the
dishonorable business of keeping low groggery
! IN the building known the "Meat Market"
which business he has persisted in pursuing
trary Ia the expressed wish of nine-tenths of our
citizens. About one month ago, Bundren was
prosecuted for carrying the traffic, convicted,
and on promise that he would quit, was only fined
one dollar. But instead of quitting, he got on a
new supply, and has been selling ever since. It
was, therefore, agreed upon by number of eiti
zens, who felt aggrieved by the existence of this
intolerable nuisance, to commence another suit
against him. and accordingly msetings have been
held from time to time to devise q plan for the
certain accomplishment of the object when again
undertaken. The last of these meetings was held
on last Tuesday night, when it was decided to
commence suit against Bundren the following day
although the time had been agreed upon the
week previous. On Wednesday morning JUS
tees Court convened at the Office of L. D. Bailey,
and Constable Rickabaugh was dispatched with
warrant for the arrest of Bundren. But it 30
happened that the said Bundren, at the time the
arrest was about being made. was in the act of
leaving town in company with bridal party
The circumstance attracted a large crowd to
the spot, where considerable excitement pre-
vailed for a time; but Bundren was compelled to
give bond insthe sum of 500 for his appearance
on Friday before he was released.
Now, Messrs. Editors, what wish to deny is
the charge, made by friends of the prosecuted
(and prosecuted they say individual. that the COM
mencement of proceedings at that particular time
was designed to interfere with arrangements which
Mr.. B. had made, or that the prosecution knew
anything of it. Even if they did, it is a ques-
ton in my mind whether o precedent can be
shown where a court has deferred the trial Of
man for committing a crime under the laws of
State or Territory in order to accommodate him in
taking pleasure trip. But the pretext is seized
upon in this instance by few compassionate in
dividuals to create sympathy for the one whose
arrest have named. and thereby block the wheels
of justice and temperance reform. / have my
faith, however,-with large number of others
who are deeply interested in this movement-in
believing that this degrading and Ubiquitous traffic
will be speedily suppressed in our town. s**
