EARTHQUAKE AT MANILA.--The following,
from the Straits Times Overland Mail, is the only
considerable account of the terrible earthquake at
Manila which has been received, ii
On the Sd iustant( June), at halEpast in the
evening, crcumambient flame was seen to arise
from the earth and grid the city Of Manila, and
at the same time most terrific quaking Of the
earth took place. IL lasted scarcely minute, but
in that short space near the whole Of fair Manila
has been reduced to heap of ruins. We believe
that upward Of thousand have been killed, and
many thousands wounded, but it is impossible to
say or TO estimate. Scarcely an edfce has escaped
without dead or wounded. The good priests,
their chorsters and sacristans, and the faithful
who were hearing the vespers Of Corpus Christi,
have been nearly all buried and suffooated under
the ruins of the cathedral and other churches
The only church that has escaped wholly is San
Augustin, the same that withstood the tremendous
shock OF 1915.
The palace, and nearly all the public and private
as well as commercial edlfces, have been ether
thrown down or shaken from their foundstions.
Thank God! not single foreigner has been killed
but two we hear have been seriously hurt, though
not dangerously. The Rodrigues property left to
the British nation, and where the British
Consulate was, has been entirely destroyed, and 10
nothing bufa mass of ruins. The city Is deserted
nearly, for the edifces threaten to fall suddenly
and there may be a repetition. Before the earth
quake took place sulphurous odors were perceived,
rumbling like the fire of ordnance, and then like
the approach Of an immense locomotive and train.
The flame that surrounded the city was seen from
the bay to as,send toward the sky and another,
triple snake one, came from the land over the
water to the shipping, and threw them up at least
two 70 three feet iwhie on shore the earth has
everywhere sunk at least two feet.

Norwich University Commencement.


The annual Commencement Of Norwich Uni
versty occurred on Wednesday and Thursday Of
last week. The exercises OF Wednesday consisted
Of Infantry, Skirmish and Artillery drill, with an
Grafton by Rev. James Davie Butler, Of Madison,
Wis. 10 the evening Concert was given by the
Boston Brigade Band, under the leadership Of
Mr.. II. C. Brown. The snviable reputation which
this Band sustains renders comment unnecessary,
yet all who enjoyed shi, rare musical entertain
ment concur in prcnouncing il the best Of the
season." After the Concert there was toroh-light
drill and serenade, the Band discoursing its best
music, and the responses being characteristic and
to the point.
The exercises in church on Thursday consisted
of Grafton, by the graduating class, conferring
degrees, an Grafton by Geo. w. Bungay, Of New
York city, an Address before the Trustees, by
Rev. Francis vinton, Of New York city, and a
Poem by VIM. Winter, also Of New York city.
Nine graduates were present to receive the degree
Of B. s. il was also conferred on one member
Of the class now in the army.
This class, as we'll as other classes Of the Uni
versity, has been considerably reduced by mem
bers leaving to enter the service. The exercises
this year were doubly interesting, considering the
fact that for two years past, no graduates have
been present at Commencement, they having left
to accept commissions in the army.
After Battalion Drill and Dress Parade the
cadets broke ranks to depart on their five weeks
furlough, when il was hoped I" Each would return
bringing with him at least one recruit"
The Presidents levee In the evening was very
pleasant affair. CADET, o. B. G.

to rebuke OConnel for his anti-savery senti-

whelms the uckless Cincinnati Committee with
reproaches on their meauness in abusing the

+ CURIOUS LANDsLIDE.-We learn that some
what remarkable landslide took place on the farm
OF Mr.. Newell in Shelburue on Saturday last.
As described to US, some five acres Of land
suddenly sank away, as il let drop by the running
out or chsnge Of place Of supporting quicksand,
A small wooded hill was cut ia halves by the
operation, one half remaining at its old level, the
other dropping number Of feet aud leaving
perpendicular fac, Of earth, reaching above the
tops OF trees which crowned the now sunken half Of
the hill top. Some Of these trees were split like
wise by the operation, one half fremainng and the
other going down with their respective sections,
much as some families here have been divided by
the war. The bed of the LaPlot river was also
raised twelve or fifteen feet in spots, not by the
earth sddpg but by an apparent crowding
up Of the bed Of the stream. On the whole i was
apparently singular affair. No one saw 1t take
place, but the hour at which il occurred is fixed
by some workmen who havi left with load Of
hay returned to find their field Of labor some
ways below where they left it,

to start for the defense Of the Union, and sspe-
cially those who profess great loyalty. and who
despise the idea Of being coward or a copper.
head' say, where are thsyf Why do they
refuse now, after the Government has been CON-
PEELED to draft them Why do those sbls-bodied
men III men they ars) yet lingsr and cover down,
or honOrably dodge behind $500 and stay at

make no excuses, such as " lhave bought me a
farm, or yoke Of oxen, or married wife there
fore l cannot come" To those we extend the
hand Of brotheriy love, and With you fshom we
have the pleasure OF welcoming to our camp, II
need be, we will fight side BY side until our cOun.
Try is free from rebellion.
We begin to think the $500 act is good
thing, for it sits ou, the -four from the shorts,
the brave heart from the coward. Send on
those who are not afraid to come--encourage
them-offer bountes to men 10 come-tske care
Of the families Of those who do come--6l our
thinned ranks with patriotic boys,--snd soon We
shall see the monster with not only bis back broken,
but crippled and bound end cast into the bottom

How or when will this war end il we cannot

have been honorably discharged, their term Of
service ha wing expired, and We want their places
filed il they can be. Bot $500 will no! Gil them
though it will do as much towards ii as the COW
ard who pays it, %
1t seems thst there has been change in the
minds Of many since We left our dear homes.
Then the frat calls were only made. When many
brave 'ad volunteered in the servics Of hi,
country, they were chsered on by friends and
neighbors. Later another call, little louder, was
made, and those who had patriotism, but could
not come, and would feel bad to have their sons
or brothers come, very pstriotically offered to be
burdened with tax to hire others to volunteer.
But now what are some Of them doingp We
hear Of their paying their money to keep men at
home and We hear OF towns as we'll as individu-
ais contributing to keep men at home. Is all this
right Has the war become unpopular Have
We fought two years in bad cause ? tell you
No. The day begins to dawn, and il you encour-
age instead Of discourage, and send on men and
fill up our ranks, then you may leave the even,
with the army. And BY the help Of God We will
restore Psase aud prosperity 40 our beloved
