The EaTthuuakc.

New England seldom INDUCES in an Garth
quake, but on Thursday morning last we had
one of well-defned and unmistakabIe char
acter. In this village the shock was not so
severe as in many other places, yet it was
sensibly felt, and awakened many Of our
citizens, while those who chenced to be
awake, felt for a moment prepared to expect
something unusual the next moment. The
shock occurred generally throughout New
England at about one o clock in the morning.
1t seems to have been most severely felt in
New Hampshire, and the old Granite State
received thorough shaking up. Buildings
were violently shaken, crockery thrown
down, doors ratified, bells rung, and other
unusual disturbances made.
From Keene it is reported that two severe
shocks were felt. The motions appeared to
be from east to west, and continued about
ten seconds. They were accompanied By
heavy rumbling sound. Bells were rung, and
buildings violently shaken. In Manchester
several violent shocks were felt, accompanied
by similar rumbling noise In Concord
the vibration Of the earth was sufficient to
cause the ringing of church bell, and the
same was true Of Center Harbor, N H.
Bells in the MouIton House, in the latter
place, were also heard TO ring by the guests,
and many clocks were stopped. In Ports
mouth, in addition TO the rafting of windows.
the plastering in the Jail fell, and the night
watchman in one of the breweries ran out in
n fright. In all these instances the shock
was felt a few minutes before one in the
morning, and continued from ten to thirty
seconds
In the vicinity OF Boston the shock was
quite severe, and thousands of persons were
awakened from sound sleep In several
instances, hastily aroused slcepers on hearing
the rafting Of windows were apprehensive
of burglars, and one citizen of Cambridge in
his alarm shouted for the police, and a
thorough search was made for the supposed
thief; and it was not till the fact of the
earthquake became known that the fears o
the gentleman were quieted.
In various parts of Maine, the shock was
distinctly apparent, and the people generally
awakened, and in some instances badly
frightened, but no particular damage was
done.
The shock extended to Connecticut and il
reported quite violent at Bridgeport.
where glass was broken from windows
We notice our State exchanges all speak Of
the came shock having been experienced in
their respective localities although no serious
mishaps are recorded in consequence thereof
We are not ambitious for any further vista
