The EARTHQUAKE Al CARACAS -Advices from
Venezuela that on the 18th OF December last the city
Of Caracas was visited by two shocks of an earth
quake. The first and most severe one was about D
O'Clock, and the second about Q z. NJ. The shocks
were very strong and marked in character, and seem
ed 10 proceed from southeast TO northwest. No very
material damage was caused, though several walls in
houses were cracked.
The whole population was stricken with alright,
rushing pale and CHASTITY out into the streets. some
in tears, others on their knees, saying their prayers.
Many took their beds out Of their houses, and slept
in the open plazas. Large professions paraded the
streets at midnight, led by the priests, chanting their
prayers. Many families have left the city to sojourn
in the country till the danger is past.
On Monday following. the 18th. q third shock was
felt, much like the two former, except slighter and Of
shorter duration; but it seemed to cause more general
alarm than the first. People quit their employments.
the Government House was emptied Of its employees
and closed. Even the President Of the Republic
found himself rushing into the street for safety. At
evening. lights were ordered to be placed in the win
dOws to honor the Archbishop who was to pass
through certain streets. praying for the city.
The shock extended to Laguayra, Puerto Cabello.
Valencia. and all other places heard from. 1t is
feared these shocks are premouitions Of q more seri-
Gus one. as in 1872, when a third of the city was
destroyed.
