New York citysloves democracy and
high taxes, as witness the election there
are Tuesday. The democratic party of
the country generally like New York
city because it is always good for large
democratic mworities. And the repub-
licans are soundly berated by the demo-
ceats everywhere for high taxes and ex-
travagance, and yet the rate of taxes
per head in New York city, wholly con-
trolled by democratic government, Is
more than double that collected by the
national government to meet the expen-
SEES of the war, aud sixteen times more
than the rate now required TO run the
government under the administration Of
Gen. Grant.

The Recent Earthquake.

A writer in the Journal gives facts
showing that the earthquake of Oct 9th,
was even more extensive and serious than
at first reported, especially in the lower
st. Lawrence valley, He says it extend
ed over 100000 square miles of the
northern United States and Canada
moving from northeast to southwest, at
the rate of thirty-three miles minute.
The Toronto Globe says that at st. Pas
chal Kamouraska, fine parish church
was so seriously damaged that the steeple
and whole front will have to be taken
down and rebuilt. The convent there
was also shattered, as well as the convent
at River Quelle, few miles higher up.
In mountainous regions on the north
shore the shocks were very heavy, and
continued more or less so, with slight in
termissions, to ten at night eye witnesses
say that while the daylight lasted the
Laurentian hills could be seen almost in
continual motion. Everywhere through
the country parishes round Quebec there
seems to have been wholesale destruction
of chimneys."
At st. Rochs, a dozen chimneys were
thrown down, many persons in their
fright leaped out at the second story win
dows, and the solid masonry of the Git
adel shook to its foundations, and the ag-
itation Of the great river was such as to
cause vessels to appear as if suddenly
lifted and bumped down again." while
captains imagined their ships had struck
on rock. AT Lachine Bay, near Mont
real, something like tidal wave was
seen the river rose suddenly, and rolling
in upon the shore dashed its spray clear
over the tops of the houses.
Other Canada papers continue to report
damages. AT Bale st, Paul seventeen
houses were much damaged. AT Les
Emboulements the church and ten houses
were injured and two children killed.
Indeed the earthquake wildly brought
to mind the Jesuit description of the ter
rible CONFUSION of 1868, when the whole
country bordering on the St. Lawrence
was destroyed by an earthquake, which,
for severity, has no parallel in North
America.

Our Legislature is becoming wonder
fully virtuous. The House has seized
several members by the nap of the neck,
who have been present but few days
thus far during the entire session, and
even threaten to cut down their pay to
actual attendance sec proceedings -
These poor members thus unexpectedly
held up to public view and brought to
grief, doubtless thought they were doing
well,-that If they were absent they
would do the State no harm, (true) and
that they were only carrying out on
little more liberal scale, possibly, the
frequent examples and precedents set by
the legislature itself for some years. As
the present legislature has already spent
week in adjournments, $4,000 State
time) and may possibly take another
three days clip, $4,000 more,) it is not
impossible that it may be necessary to
make martyrs of the unfortunate Evils
dom and virtue" above named. The eff
forts already made are like a refreshing
shower after severe drouth.

THE GROWTH or EXrRAvAGANCE AT
New York, Never, in the history Of
New York, has anything been known like
the present extravaganza in dress, equi-
page, and entertainments. The popular
daughter of an ex-oolIector married last
week, was the fortunate recipient of gifts
valued, at the lowest estimate at $4,000.
A country-seat on the Hudson, thorough
ly furnished; carriages and horses; a
check for 100000 rivere Of solitaire
diamonds and a coffee-pot of solid gold
for which the donors paid $1,000, were
among the most expensive presents
while Jewels, laces, and articles of vertu
are said to have poured in until there
was no room for more. A point-lace veil
and aounce, ranging from $500 to $500
have come to be regarded as quite indis-
pensable accomplishments to the marri-
age ceremony and wedding ring. I'M
porters look purchasers straight in the
eye, without the faintest suspicion Of
blush, ask $1,000 for black silk cos
tune that would scarcely attract more
than a passing glance and for which 800
would be ample compensation. Imagine
the condition Of conscience that will
permit man to demand So and 81 apiece
for ribbon bows for the hair.
To be sure the ribbon is very beauti-
ful-satin on one side and gross-grain on
the other, and attached to movable rings
on hair pins, that they may be becom-
ingly and effectively arranged in the
hair but 81 ! why, it is simply awful I!

THE "CARD" POSTAL SERvIcE.-A
special correspondent at Washington
says there is good reason to expect that
the Post Office Department will soon be
authorized by Congress to issue for the
public use postal cards similar to those
now so popular in Germany, and which
have lately been introduced into the pos
tai service of Great Britain with so much
success. These cards, description of
which we published not long since, will
probably be sold at two cents apiece, and
their convenience and cheapness will
doubtless procure for them abundance of
purchasers. Kept in the pocket-book. a
message may be written on them while
on the street corner, 10 car or carriage.
and they may be dropped into the near
est post box or thrown into the mail car
and thus hundreds of mes sages NAV b
sent by mail which are not sent now sim
ply because the materials for writing are
not at hand, or it is too much trouble IN
write letter, which is always supposed
to be more or less formal document
The correspondent has no doubt the
Postmaster General will recommend
their use in the American postal service
in his annual report, and that We will
have them in use before the close of the
winter.

LEGISLATIVE SPARRING.-The bill
relating to running town lines came up
on Monday, introduced we believe by
Mr.. Henry of Chester. The question
pending was on an amendment that the
lines should be run once in 20 years in
stead of FIVE, when slight tit occurred
between the representatives from Chester
and Springfield, and is thus reported
Mr.. Field of Springfield moved to
amend section three by adding that when
such monument by reason of such boun-
Diary be situated Cd the highway, said
monument shall be suspended in the air
at least 20 feet above such highway.
Mr.. Wood of Fairhaven, objected to
the propriety of such an amendment,
and hopel the bill would be considered
seriously by the House.
Mr.. Bull of Hancock, said he propos-
ed to resign his commission for notoriety
and pass it over to the gentleman from
Springfield.
Mr.. Henry of Chester said he would
NV ODJSSt " VIC iduCuulll6HC proposed
by the gentleman from Springfield, pro-
vided that the amendment be confined
to the line between Chester and Spring
field, and that the gentleman from
Springfield be suspended with the mon
ument.
Mr.. Field Of Springfield said the mo-
ton of the gentleman from Chester
might not seem so strange to the House,
when it became known that he was en-
gagged in certain law suit in which he
(the gentleman from Chester was on
one side, and he (the gentleman from
Springfeld) was on the other; and that
it might rebound to the advantage of the
gentleman of Chester if the gentleman
from Springfield were suspended in such
manner as was proposed, or in some 9TH
er way. He favored his amendment as
calculated to obviate apparent difficult
ties that might arise in the practical OPP
erations of the bill.
Mr.. Bull of Hancock then came to the
rescue aud on his motion the bill was
dismissed, yeas 80, nays 81.

The November Elections.

HANDSOME REPUBLICAN, TRIUMPHs.
Wednesday does not bring very full
returns of the elections on Tuesday, but
they indicate that the republicans have
carried all that was expected and more.
MASSACHUSETTS, that grand old Buy
State, goes republican all over, includ-
ing governor and State ticket, legislature
and all the Congressman. The combin-
ed elements against them did not do as
we'll as was expected on all sides. The
republicans have done better than they
expected and have won splendid vic
tory.
New York goes democratica as expect
ed, but the returns thus far indicate
handsome republican gain. In the city
the democratic vote fell off considerably
from efforts made to prevent repeating"
but the repeaters went to the smaller cit
les and swelled the democratic vote there
and are thus counted on the aggregate
democratic vote of the State. The demo-
cratic majority in the State is largely re-
duced. On the whole the republicans
have done better in the Empire State
than had been expected.
LOUISIANA held her election on Mon
day, and gloriously elected the entire re-
publican ticket, and carried all the
Congressman except one. Thisis most
handsome republican gain. New Or
leans city alone give more than 5000
republican majority.
MICHIGAN goes strongly republican,
but the democrats have probably car
ried one district, and the Temperance
men have probably thrown away dis
trict in ILLINOIS, and in the CHICAGO
district the republicans have reduced
majority by their own divisions.
Very little from ALABAMA, but Mont
gomery city-the original capital of the
Southern Confederacy-gives 100 re-
puDilcdu HidJoEiIf.
KENTUCKY and DELAWARE both show
handsome republican gains. Both States
Of course 60 democratic, but it is thought
the republicans have elected one or two
Congressman in the former State.
New JERSEY, too, shows splendid re-
publican gains on the popular vote, and
one Congressman.
RHODE ISLAND goes republican strong
ly, though they were badly divided in
one district. Splits there don't give the
democrats any more of chance than in
Vermont.
The democrats carry Maryland and
probably Virginia, but the republicans
held their own and will have part of
the Congressman.
On the whole the November elections
have resulted more favorably for the re-
puolicans than might have been expect
ed at least with so many divisions AMONG
themselves in various places. The coun-
try has reelected a republican Congress
and sustain the administration.

A little girl at Elizabeth.

while playing with some gravel, the 9TH

and was unable to getit out. She was
soon suffering terrible pain and several
physicians who examined the case declar-
ed that it was impossible to remove the
pebble and that the child must die
Finally, however, one doctor wiser than
the rest, instead of attempting to insert
any instrument, filed the ear with water
and then pumped it out. Five times he
was unsuccessful, but at the sixth attempt
the stone came out with the water and
the childs life was saved.
