Particulars of IL Volcanic Gutburst of

The following particulars of volcan-

in the Philippines, are from the Diario

islraa peopled by from 26, 600 to 30, 900
souls, earning their livelihood by tilling

On the 25th of February they were
startled by shocks of earthquakes, which
came so close after one another that
one day no less than 81 were felt in
one hour, moving in different direc-
tons. The islanders soon perceived
that the shocks were strongest near the
town of Chairman; for the mountain
which bears that name was seen to- have
great clefts in its sides, and landshps
had carried down from the top of the
mountain TO the bottom all the yegeta-
ton upon it, together with earth and
stones. The townsfolk did not remove
from their houses, trusting that these
phenomena would pass off without do
ing any harm, as had happened in other
parts # the Philippines but on May
|, at six A. NJ, n small column ofsmoke
was seen from Lubec, an outlying part
of the town, whereupon large number
of the inhabitants prepared to take
fight. The smoke disappearing after
time, they went back to their houses;
but at 7 P. NJ they were alarmed by a
loud explosion, and on going out to
find the cause they were seen by some
onlookers at the distance to be enve-
l,anl 1x, alN,,l &c AND OF
This cloud reached the latter. too,
wounding and burning them partially.
The whole of the population of the is
land then forsook their houses, and ran
to the seashore to get away from the
island but when day dawned it was
found that all this multitude could not
leave for the opposite coast, owing to
their only having five boats. Boats were
then sent to take the islanders to safer
quarters. The Diario thus describes
the state of the volcano then: The
sight of the volcano casting out almost
increasingly fire and smoke from five
different places causes horror. 1t freez-
es the blood to see within radius of
three-Quarters of league the electric
ity (tic) and stones it cast out during
the outburst which had thrown down
and burned everything. The number of
victims it made ut Lubuc, which con
tanned 80 houses, and in many other
houses in the country near the crater,
cannot be calculated to this day. More
than twenty dead bodies have been met
with near the aforesaid places, but no.
thing is known as to how many of the
inhabitants of Lubuc have persisted,
nor is it possible to ascertain the num-
ber because the bodies lie buried I'M
der the stones and ashes cast out from
the terrible vents of the volcano"

Gold Mining in Victoria--14, 900 China
men Mt Work.

The yield of gold obtained from
quartz in Nictoris is now about equal
to that from the alluvial workings,
which, in the earlier gold digging,
formed the only source from which
gold was obtained AS only an intinit-
esimal portion of quartz reefs of the
colony is supposed to have been as yet
discovered. it is maintained that the
mining industry will be proftably fol-
lowed for centuries. The mining regis
trars and surveyors reports estimate the
quantity of gold raised in the second
quarter of 1870, exclusive of
ing IN scattered parts, from which re-
turns are not obtained), Mt 355, 430
ounces, or ~, 900 ounces more than in
the previous quarter; 1876, 744 ounces
from alluvial ground, being an increase
of 1000 ounces and TIA, $50 ounces
from the quartz reefs, an increase of
80, 600 ounces. The total Of the min
ing population a. the end of the quar-
ter stood ut 57,439, of whom 27,084
Europeans and ii, 4S7 Chinese were al
luviai miners, and 15, 7GO Europeans

The Custom House returns show an
export of 9S4, 1870 ounces Of Victoria
gold in 1871 up to the end of July, be

the corresponding period OF 1870.

fine morning Sinclair dropped dead
from heart disease. The $40, 900 stood
to his personal credit without word

| They could do nothing. The executors
of the estate found the $l0,0 to Mr..
Sincair's credit. They could not, with

into the dead mans estate and into the
hands of his fascinating widow. Not u

the hymenial knot, and poor Weed

any injury occurs from "calking," the

pains should be taken to heal it up at
once, lest the hoof may become perma-

little danger of this, but if it is allow,
