The Earthquake on Thursday.

Our dispatches yesterday morning indicated
that the earthquake was widespread through
out New England, and those of this morning
will undoubtedly show that it extended to all
parts of the country, and was felt perhaps
across the waters.
In this city, besides the incidents mentioned
in our account yesterday, we will say that on
State street IA large boarding house, recently
erected, was observed to oscillate so freely as
to cause alarm that it might tumble down.
The inmates rushed into the streets. In an
other part of the city the brick work of fur
mace i'll the cellar was cracked. The mcdi-
cine in a liquid form in the apothecary stores
was ''well shaken before taken" and some of
the bottles were broken The shock was far
more severe on the hill than on the lower
streets. Buildings having sandy foundation
were more perceptibly shaken. In the locali-
ty where the shock was not felt the houses
rest on belt of granite. Blessed are those
who build their houses on a rock, for verify
they shall not be shaken by earthquakes.
In what direction did the earthquake travel?
is question which has not been satisfactorily
answered. The shock was felt in Gardiner
from five to ten minutes before being felt here,
whicn would seem to show that it travelled
from south to north, but ProfS. Bracket and
Goodale of Bowdoin College, assert that its
direction was from northeast to southwest.
Without repeating the particulars given in
our dispatches, we notice some facts in regard
to the shock as experienced in other places.
In Portland the large brick edifice known
as North School, swayed as if it was going
over. In enc of the schools the teacher told
her pupils to stop shaking her platform. Door
bells rang, doors slammed, water was upset out
of the kettles on the floor, cradles rocked, and
in one house lady who was sitting on sofa
was deposited on the floor. The compositors
and editors in the Press building felt the sway
ing movement, and in book bindery in the
third story the shock was so perceptible that
pile of books was thrown down and one of
the young women employed there tainted
away. People standing on the wharves say
that they could plainly see the buildings sway,
while in several of the counting rooms the
merchants and clerks state that they heard

we saw yesterday four handsome five-year-
old oxen, as well fitted for the shambles as
any animals we have ever seen. They were
the property of Messrs. Gould & Adams,
meat and provision dealers in this city, and
their customers will have an opportunity to
know what an inviting appeal their dinner
plates will make to their stomachs when load
ed with juicy steaks or roasts from these fat
oxen. One pair weighs 36l0 pounds, girthing
Z feet inches; the other pair weighs $500
pounds, girthing feet inches. They were
fatted by Mr.. Ichabod Walton of Fayette,
expressly for Messrs. Gould Adams. We
should say that Mr.. Walton understands his
business, and that he has attended to these
animals without regard to short pastures or
scanty crops.

Daniel Pratt the Great American Trayelcr..vlsIt to
Materyile.


WATERvrLLE, Oct. 20, 1870.
The word-rcnowned orator paid visit to
this quiet village yesterday; and in the eve
ming delivered his most celebrated lecture on
the "Englsh Language, before the combined
Literary Societies of the University. He said
that Columbus first originated the English
language by discovering America in 1920 y :;
since then it has spread for the past two or
three hundred years of our history. There
are over 5000 languages in the world, and the
origin of all language is woman" "Metlu-
selah lived 900 years because he kept his equi-
librium with the self evident saving element,
produced by hydrogen and oxygen, not dis
titled GIN" ''You don't hear FultoR or Tilton
give such points as that in the rocabulaly
Laboratory of the world" To give an OK
tended report of his lecture, with the vigoc of
thought and elegance of style with which it
was delivered wonld be out of the question.
Daniel Pratt (before the death of his father
called Daniel Pratt, Jr.) has visited every
college and many large cities in the United
States and Canada, and spoken before ap-
plauding audiences for the past thrt, years;
has several times been nominated to fill the
Presidential chair, and expects to do so at
some future day. After he had closed his
speech the students unanimously nominated
him for the next President of the United States
and presented him with diploma comforting
upon him the honorary title of ID. LID,
which he accented with many thanks for their
kind regards. KAPPA.

THE FAMILY BAKERY, Henry CAT

team from the daily route to supply
the town with bread. This is to be
generally regretted, as the polite pro-
prietor with his handsome team and
fresh bread had become one of the in
stitution of the place. A plain state
ment of the facts which induced Mr..
CaffalI to contract his business by this
move may not be uninteresting to his
many excellent customers, and may
cause the non-paying ones to reflect
upon the evil Of their ways. The fact
is the latter class so diminished the
profits from the former, that in jus

is compelled to distribute from his
bakery only; at which place he will
be pleased to see his real patrons.
