IKE EARTHQuAKE IN MISSOURI.

From the st. Louis Democrat, July g.
On Friday morning, between one ana two O'clock
many citizens OF the city and county were awakened
by the shocks OF an earthquake. AT Kirkwood there
was q pretty general awakening. Mr.. John IL. lice,
at Chetenham, states he was awake at the time and
heard FAINT rumbling noise, which he supposed
Immediately felt the bed VIBRATING and the windows
rafting; that there were three distinct waves the
second the heaviest, which tarred the windows not
unlike the arrlng OF streat ears from matchmaking
distractions on the track.
Our earth is unquestionably passing through one
OF those regular abnormal conditions, occurring
about every Ten or eleven years, Of maximum mete-
OrOoglcal disturbances as shown by Prof. Lamont
Sabine, of the Royal Army. The frequent tornadoes
and hailstorms and excessive rains OF the present
season, ana earthquakes al various places snow q

magnetic disturbances According to Prof Schwabe,
in August and September next there ought to be Il
maximum OF solar spots. And this maximum OF
collar spots is always synchronous with earthquakes

be curious If THESE speculations OF the Professor
should be confirmed the present season.

adjacent on the southwest. Its time is quite def
nilely fixed by different parties. General n. Ranney

movement lasted five seconds, the vibrations being

awakened, with his family, by rough shaking Of
the house, and his first idea was that hurricane
was raging without. His watch donated fifteen mill

first shock was the heaviest, Immediately followed
by another more gentle one. In many localities
articles OF furniture were moved and small orna-
ments thrown down, but as far as We know little
damage resulted.

PALM SUNDAY AND HOLY WEEK.-To-
morrow is Palm Sunday, the commence
ment of what is known 90 Holy or Passion
Week, during which is commemorated the
sufferipgs and death of the Saviour Of the
world. From very remote times the seven
days Immediately preceding the anniEer-
sary of the resurrection OF, Christ have been
set apart by the Church as a season Of pc
culisr solemnity, to be observed by acts of
penitence, devotion, fasting, and prayer.
On Palm Sunday the Catholic Church cele-
brates the triumphal entry of Christ into
Jerusalem, when the tickle multitude
greeted him with shouts Of " hosanna y
and the waving of palms. In Catholic
countries, on this day palms are blessed,
distributed. and carried in procession
through the streets and along the roads,
but in this country the clergy and those
who serve ct the'altar only, join in the pro:
cession along the aisles of the church and
distribute the blessed palmsto to the worship
ping congregation, -.r-.-r.;
The ceremony of blessing the palms
is commenced by singing "Hosanna in
Excelsis." a prayer asking that the fruits
of the passion of our Lord may descend
upon the faithful is then offered; after
which, the priest, assisted by the sub, ,dea-
con, sings portion Of the collects and ~, les,
sons Of the day. The palms are sprinkled
with holy water and fumed with incense.
and then distributed to the clergy and
laity, who receive them kneeling, while an
appropriate anthem is sung by the choir
In the Episcopal and Anglican churches
the practice Of blessing palms has fallen
into disuse, but the term " Palm Sunday
and the events it commemorstes, continue
TO be associated together. During the week
which this day prefaces, Christians are
called upon to enter seriously into them
selves, to exclude oil thoughts Of worldly
things, and to mediate upon the end OF tne
great mysteries they are required to com .
memorate. To this end the, ceremonies are
of the most solemn and imposingEcharafc,
