An EARTHQUAKE IN CAUCAsUs-The Caucasus
a Russian journal, gives a strange account of an
earthquake in the district of KOuba, a village
called IargovO, situated at the foot of mountain
range, about twenty miles from the Caspian Sea
The result has been the complete destruction of
is said, by the journal named above to have been
witnessed by only one individual, a herdsman
named Kadyr Rahim, employed in tending oxen
on the spot The man states that, be was sitting
under tree on the side of a hill, watching his
cattle on the plain below, and was suddenly
alarmed by most extraordinary movement Of
the ground under his feet. In his terror he ran
down the hill, and when he looked back be saw
the trees hurled into the air and the surface Of the
ground heaving into hillocks, filing the air with
d cloud of dust. He further declares that there
was no wind, nor any subterranean noise. The
commissions of the earth must have been corAned
to very limited space, for the inhabitants of the
village, only four miles distant, knew nothing of
what had occurred till informed by the h,rdsman,
and could hardly believe their eyes when they saw
the devastation effected in so short a time

WARRINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The DEVIL TO AY-It Is understood that Mr..
Ford, the House Printer, has virtually sold his
contract with the House to Mr. Pangborn, after
previously selling 1t to Messrs. Larcomb Il Eng
lish, who have executed the work for Mr. Ford
up to this time. The public know that Iarcomb
English deny Fords right to make the second
sale and have enjoined Mr.. Heart, Superinten-
dent of the Public Printing, not to pay over a
dollar to Ford his second assignee Mr. n
will respect the writ of injunction So, II Pang-
born essays to execute the work remaining TO be
done, be must have rich hackers in the specula-
ton; for while it will require a heavy capital,
the chances are ten TO one that the Circuit Court
VIII decide in favor Of Larcomb Englsh's
claims to the sub-cOntracti covering Of course
the right TO execute whatever portion Of the
work PanghOrn may do In the meanwhile
Larcomb English have possession of a large
quantity OF executed House printing, embracing
$1,000 copies of the voluminous report Of the
Covode committee, ordered by the House to be
printed especially a Republican party cleo
pioneering document for the current Presidential
campaign That large batch of documents, ss
well as others, are now ready for delivery to the
House binders; but not a sheet will Larcomb
English permit to go out Of their possession until
the Court decides whether their sub-contract or
that Of Pangborn is the valid one The legal uues-
ton will be in allegiance quite long enough, we
apprehend, to entirely defeat the partizan purpose
OF the Republican majority of the House in or
dering the printing Of the immense edition of
that expensive work, the cost Of which they sad
died upon the National Treasury. We appre-
bend that there are not few others in the Dis
trlct Of Columbia besides LarcOmb & English,
and Defress, who having claims growing out
OF the House printing CT this Congress, are not a
little nervous over the condition in which 1t now
stands. So much for the public printing stencil
which the last House raised; the odor Of their
own printing rascalities being likely to smell
most Extensively In the nostrils Of an honest
public.
