The EARTHQUAKE IN SyRIA-NEARLY Two
THOUSAND PEorLE KILLED.-London, April
29.-The particulars of the late earthquake in
Syria, which caused such Il terrible loss Of
life, are now coming 10 hand. 1t appears
that the terrible fatalities were not greatest
in the city of Antioch, as the first dispatch
intimated, but were heavier in the country in
the vicinity of that city. \ letter from An
tioch, under date of the 4th of April, says:
"The American Protestant church was Sc
verely injured and four of the American COM
munity were killed. All the members of the
families of missionaries are safe. The num-
Der of persons killed in the city of Antioch
is less than three hundred; but it is known
that sixteen hundred people living in the sur
rounding towns and country, where the
shocks were as severe if not greater than
here, were killed, and this number may be
increased. The distress of the people will be
only temporary, as the crop prospects are
good. The supply Of provisions on hand is
moderate. The correspondents of the Lon
don papers praise Rev. Mr.. Powers, an Ameri-
can missionary, for his assiduity in admins
tering to the relief af the afflicted"

4 Weli-Known Presbyterian Minister
Has his House DESTROYED by Fire,

The dwelling and out-houses of the Rev.
Elisha Ballantnc, in Bloomington, Ind. were
entirely destroyed by fire on the night of the
ID instant. The fire originated in the wood.
house, and was first discovered by Mrs. Bal
lantine, who was aroused about midnight by
the cracking of the flames. Help was inn
mediatcly summoned, but high wind WAS
prevailing and everything very dry, so that
little could be done; and in Il few hours q
heap of ruins was all that remained of the
comfortable home provided by years of in
dustry and economy for the evening of life.
The furniture of the parlor and one bed
room was saved, and part of the books and
papers from the library. All else-house and
table linen, clothing, sermons and other man.
uscripts-was swept away, involving the loss
of much that was invaluable and can never
be replaced Washington Star.

rock about the size OF Yeithuckets. The
dirt has all washed out fronl between, so TINT
the wheels knock along over theft Ahotit as
they #5tiM over cross-ties. Wewere beaGs
tifnlly stirred up iii tie stage, no one being
able TO keep bis seat nor anyb6as eise's. Cur
condition Was something like that which
half dozen people might experience If all
Jininlcd int q liogshead, and rolled down
Il steep hill, only 1t was OF longer duration.
A'peculiarity about our stage was Til absence
of any place for legs. We all happened
to have legs, some of them very long,
ones, and the continual hunting for
place to put them and not finding
any was n s0urce of annoyance. Travel
lers by Virginia stages would do well to
practice the feat of tying the legs In knot at
the back of the neck, as circus performers
and trapeze men do. If this cannot be done,
and it requires some practice, do not know
what to recommend. Cast-iron legs, with
strap hinges for joints, would be preferable
TO the shin bones now in use. hear of
man who got OH stage on this line with
large boil OH one Of his shin bones. The
stage was crowded. Each seat had four pas
Gengers they are made for two), and each
passenger carried q child. The poor man
yelled every yard of the distance for thirty
five miles, and then died.
Lewisburg contains one of the oldest stone
churches in the State, built TEAR hundred
years ago: 1t is remarkable fact that one
man preached in it for siXty-four consecu-
tive years, amd died not long ago aged ninety
one. The good old man has gohc to his re-
ward full of years and the hOnors which
come from the faithful discharge of long,
long duty.
Lewisburg boasts of but one mandatory,
that of gloves. They are made of buck-skin,
by hand, and are in unlimited demand
wherever known. With the completion of
the railroad it is thought that Grecnbrier
county will make an advance In the way of
manufacturing, and turn other of her raw
material to account. III. Y. r.
