A WARNING TO MAKE ALL SNUG.-Mr. s
M. Saxby, r. N, weather prophet, writes to
the London Standard that at noon on the 9th
of October the moon will be on the equator
circumstance that never takes place without
a marked atmospheric disturbance; and at 2
o'clock in the afternoon line drawn from the
earths centre will cut the sun and moon in
the same arc of right ascension, and the moons
attraction and the suns attraction will there
fore be acting in the same direction; conse-
quently the position of the bodies is a threat
ening attitude. So people are warned to tuck
their turnips and potatoes well in bed to-mor-
row or they will find them flying in the air.
If no disturbance should occur, however, the
precaution will do no harm

ST. LOUIS, Oct. IA dispatch from Fill
more, Utah, dated the 1st, says at ten minutes
to seven this evening violent shock of earth
quake was felt here. 1t passed South to Horth
apparently in due line. The State House
rocked and trembled for five or ten seconds,
then the shock gradually collapsed to trem-
bling and distant rumbling. The windows,
doors, clapboards and furniture of dwelling
houses in the city ratified. 1t is said to have
been the most violent shock that has been felt
in this part of Utah since its first settlement.
The shock and trembling altogether lasted two
minutes.

mornings paper how Capt. j. B. Jordan, Of
Gorham, after paying his fare to the hackman,
who conveyed him from the Boston and Maine
to the Portland and Rochester depot, lett his
wallet in the hack and requesting the driver to
return it. Saturday morning last, Mr.. Joseph

the missing wallet in his carriage and immedi-
ately carried it to the City Marshaps office to be
returned to the owner. 1t is refreshing to see

will be off on their sail down the harbor and
Immediately at its conclusion proceed to Spur

their pleasure will be derived from the city 8
various attractions. We hope that every pub
lie building and every private house that owns
flag will throw their bunting to the breeze,
and we have rumors that in certain quarters
there will be attempts at more elaborate decor
alton.
Tonight there will be grand array, no
doubt, of the beauty of the city who will give
our visitors no occasion for complaint that time
hangs heavy on their hands. On the contrary
light feet will twinkle in the galop to the ex-
quisite music of the magnificent orchestra of

The visit of the A. & Fl. A. we trust will
prove to be one of the pleasantest recorded
among the two hundred and thirty-one Fall
Field Days since its organization.
