AN EARTHoUAKE IN VIRGlNrA-Last Tuas-
cay night there occurred a shock of some kind
here between the hours of 10 and IL %. m. Since
then ire people Of Manchester and Chester
heId have been telling that they felt a severe
shock about the same time; and now comes the
Charlottesville Chronicle to inform Us that ar
about the precise hour the shock was felt here
similar shock was experienced in that town
and neighborhood. These corrobora.jno facts
seem to make IL very probable indeed that We
have had an earthquake among us, and will

REV. Dr.. LAEAHAN, recently arrested in New
conversation on Saturday, that he was satisfied
that his arrest was the result OF combination
between DIR. Carlton, DIR. Curry, and Mr.. Du-
puy, who, he feels sure, induced GoOdenough to
sue out warrant. He also said that A6ram
Mellon, now in prison at the suit of Phelns.
Dodge & Co., received large quantity of yaiu,
able morocco leather, fraud which, when dis
covered, led to Nelson's arrest, and, though for
some reason the case was subsequently, Quietly
allowed to drop, DR.. Lanahan says he shall take
no further steps in regard to the book concern.
though he has been assured that not one-half of
the frauds have been disclosed; but he believes
the church has now received sufficient warning
to take care Of its own interests. The present
book committee, he thinks, Is composed of hon
est men, and he Is contented to know that the
fight has not been entirely in vainn

A LITTLE CEILD RUN OVER AND KILLED
On Saturday evening last q little girl, about
two and half years of age, was run over by a
cart loaded with stone, driven by colored man
named Charles Burnet, in the employment of
Patrick CullinaDe. The little child. named
Bridget Quill, was playing in front Of its mo-
Tiers residence, on X street, between AZ and
9Th streets, when Burnet drove along and was
notified that the children were playing in the
street, but he refused TO hold in his horses aud
after be was made aware of what had happened
he refused TO stop, and whipped his horses into
a trot and drove of. DR.. McWilIiams was called
in, but the child had died before he arrived.
Dr. Hartgan, acting coroner, was notified and
held an inquest yesterday. The facts as related
above were corrobOrated by several witnesses.
and verdict was rendered that the deceased
came 70 her death about 5 O'Clock D. m on the
sth day Of June, on X street, between Az aud
9TH streets, from a fracture of the skull; and
they further find that said injuries were caused
by being run over by a wagon, driven by Ohas
Burnet, colored, and that the said Burnet
was guilty OF criminal carelessness Officer
Ming had already taken Burnett INTO custody,
and DI. Hartigan committed him to Jail TO
await the action Of the grand jury. IL is the
practice in this city for drivers of vehicles to
dash along regardless of the safety OF pedes-
TRANS, and the wonder is more are not killed.
Dennis Quill, the father OF the child was only
a few weeks since sent to the insane asylum.
having been pronounced insane.
