NEWS FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
A Severe Earthquake Shock...Great
Alarm In the ChurchesD..D Dana age
Done to Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, October Sat quar-
ter before one O'Clock to day, the severest
earthquake ever fe!t here frightened al
most the entire population into the streets
During half minute there were two tre-
mendous shocks, causing buildings to rock
to and fro in manner altogether alarm
ing. Services were over in most of the
churches. The large congregation of the
Unitarian church was being dismissed when
the shock commenced. The ladies shrieked
and all rushed for the doors faster than
they could be accommodated with exit
room. Similar scenes took place at St.
Mary's. cathedral and in some other
churches and Sunday schools. The rush
was so desperate from the Catholic church
on Vallejo street that the large doors of
the main entrance were carried away, and
several persons were injured by being
trampled upon. The walls of many build
ings cracked in many places. 1t surprises
every one that large stately edifces like
the Occidental and Cosmopolitan hotels,
and other buildings of that class, were not
generally more seriously injured More or
less plastering fell from perhaps half the
ceilings in the city. Much window glass
was demolished and fine walls and cornices
fell from many buildings The entire front
of the large four-srory brick building jus.
erected on Third street fell outward, Gov.
ering about half that wide spot with trag-
ments. One independently constructed
chimney of the Lick house fell in, crush.
ing through the roof of the dining room,
leaving piles of brick among the tables and
dishes, to the establishment of the boarders
taking lunch. Three servants were in
jured Two Chinese were badly injured
by falling fire wall OF jackson street.
The city hall bell commenced ringing on
account of the vibration of the bell-tOwer
The interior walls of that building were
much broken up. Fissures two or three
inches wide were opened up in the lower
| part of the city, where it is made ground.
Some OF this ground was elevated many
| inches above its former level.
Brief accounts from Sacramento, Stock
ton and San Jose represent the shock as
the severest ever felt in these cities. It
was not felt at Marysville nor Placerville.
| The town of Santa Cruz was shocked with
great severity, some brick buildings suffer-
| ing severe damage One or two were de-

The sons Of New England Pa1itans.

A good joke is told of Judge in New Hamp.
shire. He always kept demijohn of good
Jamaica in his private Office for his particular
friends. The Judge had noticed for some time
that on Monday morning his Jamaica was con-
siderably lighter than he left it on Saturday
night. Another fact had established itself in
his mind. His son Sam was missing from the
parental pew in church ON Sundays. One Sun
day afternoon Sam came in and went up stairs
very heavily, when the Judge put the question
pointedly to him:
" Sam, where have you been?"
To church, sir, was the prompt reply.
what church, Sam?"
Second Methodist, sir"
Had good sermon, Sam?n
Very powerful, sir, it quite Staged me.
I" The next Sunday the Son came home
rather earlier than usual apparently rot so
much under the weather.
His father hailed him with, ''Well, Sam,
been to Second Methodist again to-day ?"
"Yes, sir"
GOOD sermon, my boy?"
Fact was. father, couldn't get in; the
church was shut and ticket on the door"
"Sorry. Sam, keep going You may get good
by it yet"
Sam says that on going to the Office for his
usual refreshments he found the John" was
empty and bearing the following label {:
There will be no service here to-day; the
church is temporarily closed"

A Villata0us CaptaiR...His Fellow
Officers Kepudtate his Acquain.
lance

The Ohio State Journal relates the
following
In April last, day or two previous to the
departure trom Camp Chase of one of the last
infantry regiments raised in this State. beau.
tiful woman, aged only sixteen years, went to
the camp to visit her husband, to whom he
had been married only few weeks Having
mplished her object: she made prepare.
tions to return home in neighboring county,
and her husband applied to his captain for per.
mission 70 accompany her as far as the depot in
this city. This was refused; the captain how.
ever. informed the soldier that he was going
to Columbus. and would see that his wife was
properly cared for. Placing the lady in car.
rage, he brought her to this city, but instead
of conveying her to the depot, took her to
hotel, and there, by persuasion and threats. in.
duced her to forget her allegiance to her hus-
band.
A day or two after, the regimen. went to the
field :: the erring woman did not see her hus-
band agar and kept the secret of her shame
locked withi2 her bosom for many months,
Stricken with remorse, she at lei 9Th wrote her
husband OF the great wrong done him by his
captain. and begged forgiveness Frantic with
grief the soldier sought the captain and
charged him, in the presence of his fellow Off
GERS. with the damniDg deed. The worse than
villain did not deny the charge, but admitted
it, lucensed OF the cool, unprincipled viii
lainy OF the OEute, charges We're made out
against him by number Of the officers and
forwarded to headquarters. but before action
could be had thereon the regiment was mus.
tered out of service.
Arriving at Camp Chase the regiment was q
few days since fiually discharged. In the mean
time the wropged man died of broken heart
in an eastern hospital. The day after the dis
charge the officers of the egiment who had
assembled in the State House yard tor the
hau nh
mace of them by prominent artist of the city
were seated in a circle on the grass, awaiting
the movements of the photographer, when u
motion was made by Que of the number, re.
questing Captain - to withdraw from the
group, as they had no desire to associate in
any capacity with scoundrel and murderer.
The motion was unanimously carried The
rebuked captain Withdrew from their midst
and Immediately left the city for his home in
northern Ohio.

Ownership OF Lost or stolen Rona....
Some Important Consider. .,o,,.

from the Milwaukee Sentinel. October 10,
The larceny of government bonds has
become so common, and as large amounts
OF these stolen securities are every dav
doubtless offered for sale, it becomes Of
considerable importance to the CONNER
cial community, and also to individuals
who are investing in these bonds, to know
how the purchasers title is affected by the
fact that the bonds have been stolen. The
law is well settled and clear in such cases.
and is stated in the following letter from
the Acting Secretary of the Treasury to
Messrs. Price, Brothers & 90. of Nil
waukee:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 1856. E
GENTLEMEN: Yours of the 29th ultimo is at
hand. - ~
coupon bond payable to bearer is good in
the hands OF an innocent purchaser for value.
even though It has been stolen, and knowledge
OF such larceny subsequently gained, cannot Vi
tlate previously good title. or in anv wav i'm.
pair the innocent holders rights.
The same rules apply to government securi.
ties when payable to bearer, as to all nepotia-
BILE paper in market.
/ Respectfully yours.
WIN, E. CHANDLER.
Acting Secretary.
To Messrs. Price Brothers, Milwaukee, Wis.
This is the well settled law, and those
who purchase bonds in good faith and
without any knowledge that they have
been stolen, will therefore be protected in
their title against everybody.

The St. Louis Republican says the war,
instead of diminishing the tonnage at that
port, has had the contrary effect. and adds

Steamboats, are more plenty, and generally
OF finer class than they were before the re-
bellOn This is q most astonishing fact
when We consider the rough work al.
lott-d To them, and the fatality that at.
tended so many of them in the struggle.
The Saint Louis and New Orleans ton,
mage, now over 10000 tons, is thirty three per
cent in excess Of the tonnage of 1859 before
the war. The Ohio river tonnage has increas-
ed fifty per cent. during the same period. Mis-
souri, river tonnage has increased fifty Der cent
and large additions have been made to the
number OF boats in all the upper rivers.
