Terrible Earthquake in India-i6oo
Persons Reported Killed.
WAsHINGTON, Jan IS, 1873.

LONDON, Jan. ia despatch from Bomhay
says that report has reached that city that
terEible eaglbquake has occurred at Soonghur,
town Of India, in detached district of the Ba-
roda dominiOns, ia miles north Of Bombay.
Fifteen hundred persons are said to have been
killed in the town alone. Nothing has been
heard from the surrounding county, bat it is
feared that there has been much additional loss
oflile.
FSoonghgr, the scene Of the terrible disaster
recorded ia the above telegram, is situated in a
detached section Of the Blroda or Guicowars
Dominions, which last.named district is pro-
vince Of Western Hindostan, subsidiary to thC
British and subordinate TO the Presidency Of
Bombay, from which city the scene of the
earthquake is distant only ia miles, as stated
in the deaEatch. The district Is one Of the rich
est and most pOpulous in India, and the capita
city, Baroda, which is about lis miles distan
from the scene Of the disaster, is one OF the
richest ofits size in India. Situated only Al
north of Soonghur is the large and imporian
city af Surat, which has population Of nearl.
POI, 900, and il is possible that the ravages @
the disaster may have extended into that sectio
Of the country.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, January 12.-Mrs. |
Lydia Sherman, the reputed poisoner Of three |
husbands and two or three children, but who
was only convicted of manslaughter in the
poisoning of her last husband, was sentenced
to the State prison for life yesterday. She
received the sentence with the utmost indlffer-
enee, and at the conclusion gracefully cOurte-
sled her Acknowledgement to the court.
The confession OF Mrs. Sherman admits the
poisoning of Spersons.
Mrs. Sherman Is q very ignorant woman, and
all through her trial in court and to her own
counsel denied having poisoned anybody and
wanted to swear to it, She was born in New
Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1926, and became
an orphan while yet a child. At the age of
seventeen she Joined the Methodist Church,
and at one of its love-feasts met Edward Struck,
whom she afterwards married. He became
q policeman at YOrkville. He was dismissed
from the force for neglect Of duty and subse-
quently went crazy with sOftened brain. He
became burden to her, and, as she says, "at
the suggestion of friend" she gave him arse
| mic in his food. It did its work so well that
she saw at once a way to tighten herself still
further of domestic duties, aud so, with the
same potent agent, she sent her two youngest
children after her husband. She next went q
Litchheld, Conn.,, and met Dennis Hurlburt.
She married him, but not liking him very well
procured an arsenic divorce, and Dennis died
