The Titusv,lle pa Covrier, says
in its issue Of Monday morning the
Eth inst Yesterday forenoon q
shock Of earthquake was felt by many
here in Titpsyille The inmates Of
Mr.. Frederick Crocker's house. at
the corner Of Washington and Spruce
streets, were somewhat alarmed, so
violently was the house shaken. We
were seated in our office mt the time
and for few seconds the block trcm
bled and vibrated We have seen
and heard Of n number OF others who
experienced the shock. Our readers
will remember that n SLIGHT Garth
quake was experienced in this section
in 1870, aud that Immediately after
ward there was n great falling off in
the production Of oil. May we not
hope that the earthquake Of yester-
day was the forerunncr of decrease
m our present production Of pretro-
loum, and a consequent advance i'll
the price of that artclcl If this is
20, two or three earthquakes would
he quite welcome just now.

Next in order the treaty adjusts
the fishery question to establish the
exact area on which the fishermen
on the northeastern coast could pur-
sue their industry. Several attempts
were male to do this, all Of which
were unsatisfactory, because the
terms of thciustrumcuts agreed mp
on were vague and impractical. In
1918 new trcrty was framed which
expressly recognized our rights in
. the fisheries. Differences Of oplu-
ION arose. however. ~ 10 the con
,tru.t on Of It's terms. and ia 1851
what is known rs the reciprocity
