Earthquake Predictions

1t will be remembered that some months
ago NJ. Falb, German, in Peru, created a
sensation by his predictions of earthquakes
in that country. A recent letter says:
"After intense alarm caused by the prog
nostications of M. Falb, our people are now
settling down to sense of security, and are
becoming convinced of the groundlessness
of their previous fears. The random and
baseless predictions of the amature German,
savant have, however, been productive of
immense mischief, aside from the state of
terror in which he has been the meanstof
keeping the whole of Peru for months past;
he has also caused an extraordinary expen-
diture of money, incurred by the removal
of countless families and their possessions
from the cities and seaports to the open
country and the interior for security from the
expected but imaginary earthquakes and ii
dial waves of the clerical astronomer l,
may be considered singular circumstance
that upon the dates of Falb's predicted
earthquakes the whole of Peru enjoyed 9
singular immunity from those visitatlons, al
though for the past twelve months some part
or other of the country has been frequently
subjected to them at short intervals, anG
with moro or less force"

NORTH CAROLINA OPENS HER ARM OF VEL
CONTOUR exchanges from different Sec
tions of the State can see greater induce
ments--and better localities in their imme-
date surroundings, which they set forth as
arguments why emigrants should buy their
lands. Here at the "hub," we occupy neu-
trail ground, and can afford to direct the
land hunters to any and every portion OF the
State, as the best. If the West has peculiar
advantages the East can point to an offset;
and so, after all, VIC can't see where one sec
ton has greater advantages than another
the truth is, the Old North State seems to
be the promised land" now sought by the
pilgrim"
In former numbers of the STANDARD, we
have published glowing and truthful repre-
sensations of the West as home; we must
now, in justice TO our Eastern friends, let
theirclaims be heard. We copy from the
Jourral of COmmerce-and, of our own

Gen. Candy has issued an order postpon-
ing all elections for railroad directors until
Congress has approved the Virginia Consti-
tuition. rf
The Wisconsin Senate will contain 20 Re
| publicans and 10 Democrats. The Assem-
bly, will have Republican majority OF
| about 10.
Minister Motley was instructed to secure
an important treaty with Great Britain re-

probably succeed.
The editor of the Newburyport Herald is
| literally on the fence. He has been nomi-
mated for Representative by one party and

The Chicago Tribune and Republican
agree in saying that the Illinois Constitu-

five Republicans and of forty Democrats.
The Executive Committee of Massachu-
sets State Temperance Alliance have APP

to the people on their duties at the present

Tennessee Republicans rejoice heartily
over the defeat of johnson for the United
States Senate. They regard his discontinue
| as a blessing not only to the State but to
the nation.
1t is exceedingly probable that the Presi-
dent, Secretary of the Treasury, and posi-
bly, some of the other Department heads,
will return to the old practice OF submitting
the messages and reports to Congress in wri-
ting.
The Cuban Junta in Washington are in
dustriously at work to induce Gen. Grant to
put in plea for Cuba in his annual message
Secretary Fish is opposed to any allusion to
Cuba, and will doubtless carry the President
with him.
The bonds purchased by Secretary Bout
well have been counted. and the result shows
that up to Nov 1, 81. s44, 500 had been pur-

$45,OOO,OOO as special purchases, subject to
the action of Congress.

Senator Morton has had interviews with
the President and Secretary Boutwell, con-
corning more currency for the West and
South. He says both sections need large
supply for their business requirements, and
it is probable the Secretary will make re-
commentator to that effect in his report to
Congress.

HEALTH OF EASTERN CARoLINA.-The
journal Of Commerce says: "The season
just passed has been one of the most healthy
within the memory of the "oldest inhabi
tant, }" and at the same time, it has been the
dryest. 1t is evident to our mind, that this
demonstrates that all that is necessary to
make Eastern North Carolina as healthy as
the most favored portions of the globe; is
thorough drainage, to render the country at
all times dry, and to prevent the accumula-
ton of standing water, exposed to the burn
ing sun of June, July, August and Septem-
Der, engendering rank weeds and lux
uriant growth of vegetation to produce MI
asmatic diseases"
