lying at that port several severe shocks Of
earthquakes were felt, but no serious dam

By~ Messrs. Kcllctt 4 Sargent have sunk
one of Avcry's National Pump and Tube
Wells to the depth Of thirty-two feet, near
their place Of business on Main Street. and

work revolution in the construction Of
wells. Its simplicity is not the least rec
concentration. The case with which they
can be sunk to any required depth, with
proper appliances, will recommend them
over the old, laborious plan of digging
wells. We advise our readers to examine
the pump in operation, and they will read
lily perceive its advantages.

EARTHQUAKES VS.. LONGEvITY.-Thc
lady correspondent of the Sacramento

ten years older since the 2lst of October
She has kept her goods and chattcls packed,
in readiness to skcdaddlc, for weeks
slept with her children near the door, on
the lower floor, and, to feed her fcverish
mind, has read the horrible accounts ofthc
great tidal wave at Africa. Ten years in
two weeks, is living very fast, and VIC
should think not "ovcrly" pleasant.

ANOTHER LANDMARK GONE.-The old
block-house on the Public Square was
RACED last Monday, and the lumber used to
plank Main Street, in the vicinity of Mr.
p. D. Moores residence. This leaves the
town without a Jail of any sort. We think
some of our people have been rather hasty
in dcmolishing the nuisance as they
have delighted to stigmatize this venerable
building. 1t had been useful in its day,
and certainly was useful yet, with no other
place for the confinement of evil doers ac-
cessible to the town authorities. At least
it should have been allowed to remain un-
til some provision had been made towards
supplying its place. A few dollars, judi
ciously expended, would have made it am
ply secure for town purposes, and our citi-
Gems may yet regret that they have acted
so hastily in this matter.

The Chase Movement in Washington.
From the Commercial Advertiser of yesterday
evening)


From the Commercial Advertiser Of yesterday
evening)
WASHINGTON, June 13, 1868.
The democratic politicians are very busy here.
The Chase movement is evidently gathering strength
and Is sustained by the administration means OF
dividing the republicans and breaking down the radi-
cal influence. Assurances have been received here
from New York to the effect that the nomination of
Chase will be sustained by leading republicans there.
The Chase platform as now presented is, frank &C
ceptance OF all the accomplished events OF the war,
both financial and political; the submission OF ali
disputed points to the decision Of the Supreme Court
return to specie payments; strict economy
and contraction Of national expenses; universal
amnesty and the RELOCATION Of the suffrage question
to the respective States under the authority of the
constitution The return of Chief Justice Chase from
Richmond Is looked for with interest, when q con-
sultation and comparison Of views will take place
that will decide the question OF his nomination.
1t is believed that the Pendeton men will
not offer any serious opposition to Mr.. Chase in
1t should be clearly proved that his nomination Is es-
