ment is the authority Empowered to nomi-
nate the different small Offices ofthe city.
But these said efics.holders must first re-
ceive the apployal Of the Board of Alder
men before they can enter upon the dis
charge of their duties. This plan of city
govern ment is in exact accordance with
our Republican system, save the properly
qualification Of the aldernanic part OF
the Board. And this might be favorably
compared to the Senate of the United
States, whose members are elected by
the States, and are apportioned accord
ing to the number of States, and not
tho people of the Union. Some
may regard this feature OF our Cen
eral Government as not being demo-
cratic, but it is the Democracy as estab'
lished by our wise forefathers, asd no
one can gainsay it twas regarded as
salutary check upon the wild passions OF
the populace, and the history OF our
Government has proved it to be such.
We need some check upon the me-
rroes, Radicals and irresponsibles who
would hold all the offices in our city gov

left us. II the city would do we'll

Earthquakes.

New England had shake OF an earth
make on Friday last, which alarmed the
Yankee nation quite considerably. a
correspondent describes it as follows !:
The under pinning Of New England and
the British Provinces was terribly nm
steady at about dsybresk this morning
Il swsyed to and fro, aud rumbled and
vrumbled for several seconds, and then
after momentary pause there was a se-
we're shake, louder and clearer than be-
fore. and one which threatened to upset
everything earthly, and send all the in
bsbitants of this section of the mundane
sphere forthwith to kingdom come. There
was Internationally a genuine earth
quake, and from accounts thus far re-.
ceiyed here, 1t extended along the At
lantic coast all it's way from New Bruins
wick to the furthest western section of
New England.
In Boston and the surrounding coun-
try. especially in the seaport towns, it
was quite distiBctly felt. In the interior
of the country the vibrations were not
so sensible; but at many points along
the coast the shocks were go severe as to
disarrange oil things portable and shake
a few buildings from their foundations,
causing, of course, the greatest fright
and CONSERVATION among the inhabl-
tants =,
The evening previous was unusually
clear everywhere where the quake was
felt. but at about midnight there was q
sharp rain, which lasted with brief inter-
walls until about hslf.psst four o'clock.
There then succeeded beautiful star
light aud clear, bslmy atmosphere. At
between twenty and thirty minutes past
Eve o o'clock, jost as daylight was becom-
ing visible, the Grst shocks we're expert
enced, and from sill reliable accounts
they seem to have been felt simultaneous
" wherever they wsre felt at all.
On the lst Of June, 1888, an earth
quake took place in the New England
States in the afternoon, and it was suti
GENTLY violent to shake movable articles.
On the gel Of October, 1927, shock,
which was of two pinutes' duration. took
place. and was fat oil along the coast.
February 6, 1885, another shock took
place, and November 10. 1853. the earth
Quake extended from New England to
the West Indies, damaging towns through
oat the vhole extent Of the coast. On
the 10Th Of March, l76l, there was a
violent shock 10 this sBd adjoining States
at half past two In the morning.
