was felt ut 1890 o'clock, last night, in
the upper part OF the city, MI along the
Hudson. up the Harlem road and at
Stamford, Conn. families we're aroused
from their beds, crockery siiuksn. etc.
In relation to tho shock of an enrth
quake, last night, the Post further saws
very distinct shock was felt at Dobb's
Ferry and on the West bank of the
hudson, between Youkers and Tarry-
town. About 1925 L. NJ, house
shook with such tremendous motion
that family rushed from it, thinking
it was being crushed. The noise nc.
companying this shock was Us we'll de-
lined and had much tho character Of q
sharp clap OF thunder. There are
comparatively few reports of the shook
having been felt in this city; one fami-
Is, however, in the Twenty first Ward,
observed it SO distinctly that some Of
them got out OF bed to learn the
cause. Persons residing in Mount
Vernon, East Chester, New Rochelle
and other villages along the East side
OF Wes.chester County, suy the shock
was felt ut 10 2G P. NJ, and appeared
to pass from u South-easterly to IL
North westerly direction. Many were
grentlv MISUNDERSTANDING that some
dreadful explosion had occurred II the
nelghborhood. On the line Of .he
New Haven Railroad, the shock WIN.
felt as iur East rs Stamforl.
On the Harlem Il .i.roud En..
1t was very severe, especially in the
villages North. st Williams Bridge,
Fordham and Mt. Hope there was con
siderable alarm. In the Twenty-fonr.h
Ward of this city, it was also very per-
ceptiblc; new houses, bnilt in Il most
SnbstantIai manner. and proof against
severe storms, we've shuken from thcir
iouudations tn rocfs, Causing great
terror to the occupants. a. SpnYtcn
Dayval. the coucussiou was SO severe.
1t cansrd general ulnrm, anil in ID .uv
of the houses lights we're kept burnin.
TIL a late hour, and the Inhabitants
were OIL, the alert for repetition OF the
shock. OAc OF the mounted patrol-
nep says that it terrified his hur e,
and the aniIoai became almost TN
manageable. The shock VAS very dis.
tlnct at IarrTtown. ami p"rsous were
so alarmed as to run ont Of doors. the
earthquake was felt very distinctly Mt
White Flaiua. Accounts vary as to
the duration of the shock-somc O!
those who felt it being of tho opinion
thut 1T lasted as long as fifteen seconds,
while others limit it to FIVE seconds.
The general direction OF the noise, ac.
companled by slight oscillation, seems
TO have been from North to South, &C.
counts from different persons making
1t pass from North east to South west,
and from North-wes. to South cast.
In tue Beecher-Tilton suit, the
Court decided to grant q bill of par.
ticulars. The Court said the law i'm
poses no impossbility and does not re.
qulre from the plaintiff tho designa-
ton OF the precise day, ut the hazard
OF failure of justice, il he failed to
prove the act upon the precise day.
1t is sufficient if he dcsignates the day
with reasonable approximation. so that
the defendant is fairly appraised of the
charges. In view OF affidavit of plain
till. rend on this motion, it will be suf.
ticient for him to state in tho bill OF
particulars to be furnished, that two
acts OF criminal intimacy. alleged to
have taken place on tho 10th and l7th
days OF October, 1868, were commit.
ted on or about those days. at either
ono or the other Of tho places men.
toned in the affidavit; or, as suggest
ed by one OF tho counsel for defendant,
it may be- regarded rs sufficient to saw
that those acts were committed during
ths month Of October, 1868, such state
ment fairly acquaints the defendant
with the charge be is to meet.
