Bombay was running with steam alone at
the rate of seven knots The Oneida at
tempted to cross the bow of the Bombay
by putting his helm aport, and the Bonn

so slight that the captain of the Bombay
thought no damage had been done" Let
him tell that to the marines.
RECKLESS TAMPERING WITH HUMAN
LIFE.-On the night of the 21st of Febru-
ary trunk bearing no marks was placed
on New Haven steamer at the foot of
Peck slip in New York. The officers sus-
pecting something wrong, had the trunk
forced open, when three cans of nitro-gly-
cerine were found packed in it. The
trunk was placed on the wharf, where it
remained until the 23d, when the atten-
tion of the police was called to it. Ex-
perts examined the cans, and found
enough nitro-glycerine in them to destroy
a dozen buildings and all the shipping in
the neighborhood. The dangerous COM
pound was removed to powder magazine
There is no clue to the person who thus
criminally exposed life and property to
destruction, but it is thought the object
may have been simply to get the article
shipped without exciting suspicion of it's
terrible nature.

| GEORGIA BILL.-Mr. Bingham is in
high spirits. His amendment to Buffers
Georgia bill succeeded by big majority,
and then, as amended, the bill passed by
the usual party majority. The House
wanted to settle the position of Georgia
in connection with the Fifteenth amend
ment, and yet was determined that Gov.
Bullock and his friends should not make
use of the act to continue themselves in
power without an election. AS the bill
now stands, it may pass the Senate,
though many prominent Republican SEN
ators say they can't vote for it.
REMARKABLE REVIVAL AT SPRING
FIELD-The Republican says that great
revival is in progress in the Methodist
churches of Springfield. People leave
their business in the daytime to attend
the services, and outside of the meetings
the subject of religion is discussed in
shops and stores, and rumsellers are seen
in church, weeping tears of penitence.
The principal interest now centers in the
Union street church, and up to Thursday
evening more than one hundred CONVEX
sions had taken place, seventy-fve of
which have occurred since the Saturday
preceding. The Troy praying band"
have been engaged in the work at the
church, which is remarkable for its depth

THE RAILROAD THROUGH THE NOTCH
John f. Anderson, the engineer of the
Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, re-
ports that the survey through the White
Mountain Notch demonstrates not only
the possibility of building a railroad, but
that it will be remarkably inexpensive to
construct, in comparison with other noun
tain railways. He says that on the steep
est incline, the three miles from the Will
ley House to the Crawford Hotel, there
will not be required so steep a grade line
or such heavy work, by from one-third to
one-half, as on railroads now and for many
years in successful operation in this ooun-
try The new road will be in operation
to Fryeburg, Ne, which is one hours car
riage ride from North Conway, before the
end of 1870.

We mentioned in an item in onr local col
umn last week, that in some three differ
ent buildings, some distance apart, IN Can
ton, a plain vibration was observed a lit
tie before IL A. NJ, IN Thursday, the goth
inst, and that we could only account for
it by attributing it to an earthquake. We
gave no names, fearing that after all there
might be some mistake about it. Just af-
ter we had gone to press, however, on
Thursday evening, the kilograms from
various points announced a similar visi-
tation of the shaking. We refer our rea-
ders to these reports in this paper.
The vibration it seems was felt IN Gin
c%innati, Columbus, Cleveland, Troy, New
York, Montreal. Quebec, Boston, Port
land, and many other places. We have
seen no account of the movement west OF
south of Cincinnati. Eastward, however,
the shock, though not heavy. was sufi-
cient to alarm people, especially those in
upper stories of high buildings. 1t would
appear as if the shock was felt all over
about the same instant No damage is
reported, notwithstanding the violence Of
the shock in some localities. 1t is said
there is nothing people cannot get accus-
toned to except earthquakes. When the
solid earth itself seems giving way beneath
our feet, it is doubtless calculated to wea-
ken u confidence in the stability of ouI
platform.
One of our compositors, while working
at his case at the time of the shock, mott
ced his case moving to and fro, and then
felt the floor giving way beneath his
feet, followed by q momentary dizziness
and sickness at the stomach. All thi:
happened in a few brief seconds, and he
thought it might be something wrong
with himself, and he said nothing abou'
it till he heard of similar effects up town
We notice by the reports that these wer
common in other places.
The great earthquake Of this region wa
that of 1911, when New Madrid, on tn,
Mississippi river, wa destroyed, and por
tons of the river bank were swallowe,
up. That shock was felt with distinctnes
throughout Ohio, and was the most Sc
we're of which this region has any record
Some fifteen years ago a shock similar t
the n of Thursday. but much more dis
tinct, was felt in Cleveland, Buffalo an
other points. Tradition tells us that tn
water in the lake rose four or FIVE feet
but this is probably an exaggeration.

III fact that all the French oydgetr or

holds good in Louisiana. The Latin race

Our sapient neighbors are but poor rea-
ders of history. The Latin race is the
race above all others in favor Of free gov-
