INCIDENTS OF THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE IN
MAINE.-A correspondent writing from Au-
burn, Me-, in reference to the late shock OF an
earthouake in that section, says that the eff
feet Of the shock was sensibly felt by COM
pany of boys who were skating on pond
In that town, some five miles long by four
miles wide. The ice rose in billows and
trembled all along the shore, frightening
the boys shOckingly," and fastening them on
to terra frmG. AT the Universalist Church,
in Turner, very ludicrous scene was en-
acted. The week previous to the shock
new furnace was placed in the basement Of
the building, which, on this day, had given
out too much heat for comfort. A gentleman
had been down and adjusted the dampers
and had seated himself in his pew when tht
shock occurred. Supposing the furnace hac
exploded, he rushed into tbs cellar, followed
by almost the entire congregation, tn
preacher bringing up the rear. Finding al
safe below, the frightened worshiPers re
turned TO their seats and resumed their de
votions, grateful for their preservation.

Another Tragedy-TwO Policemen Fatnty
Stabbed while Attempting 60 Make nm
Arrest.
A day or two since Officers Claiborne Long
and Daniel Hallam, of the Fourth Ward, re-
ceived notice that young girl had been
abducted from her home in a country town,
aud ht to this city, where she was kept
secreted. Immediately after receiving the
intel i, ence they commenced q search, and
yesterday they received information that she
was in house of ill-fame, kept by Emma
Clemens, on Main-sireet between Sixth and
Seventh, and they accordingly obtained leave
from the Lieutenant to 60 there and ascer-
tain if their surmises were correct, aud il
so, TO gain possession Of the girl and restore
her TO her parents.
Accordinely about eleven o'clock last night
they proceeded in the discharge of their duty.
They had scarcely entered the house, when
q violent rapping was heard at the door, and
when it was opened, a man named Lowry,
who resides on Clay. street, near Thirteenth,
and his SOD, were standing on the steps,
brandishiDga knife and pistol, and threaten
ing to force their way through the door if
not admitted. As they were inebriated aud
| disorderly, Long and Hallam went out to
take them into custody, when a violent
struggle ensued, in which each of the watch
men received q stab from a Bowie knife; the
| former in the side, and the latter in the
stomach, which will, without doubt, prove
| mortal.
The noise of the struggle soon brought
several policemen to the spot, but the muir
derers had made their escape.
Mr.. Halam has family, who reside in
the Fourth Ward. Mr.. Long is unmarried
DR.. Mussey and other physicians were called
in, and their wounds were properly dressed

"Upon examination, have not been able
| to find any conveyance containing a formal
! and express dedication to the public of that
| part of Lock street included in the deed of
| B. F. Strader and others to the city, but
am satisfied that the city has a valid title to
the whole of Lock-street, from Front-street
to the river, unless it has been lost by ad-
verse possession. 1t is claimed by the
granters in the deed now offered to the city,
that by adverse possession, continued for
more than twenty one years, they have a
perfect title to the ground they now propose
to dedicate. The effect of accepting the
deed will be-
81. To vest in the city the possessory right
claimed by the grantors.
80. To vest in the grantors any claim
which the city may have to wharfage at the
foot of the streets.
81 have no doubt that the property ada
cent to the street will be liable to assess
ment if the deed is accepted.
"P. ST. am informed by Mr.. Kersted
and others that the city has never collected
wharfage at the foot of Lock-street but that
all wharfage has been paid to the private
property. holders"
