A Japan Earthquake.

DESCRIPTION OF IT BY MRS. CAPTAIN COY, OF iCEo-

Yokohama, Japan, was visited with an earth
quake about the middle of January so severe MS

accustomed to terrestrial and atmospheric dis
turbances as are its Inhabitants Mrs. Charles
Coy formerly Of this city, bnt now resident in
Japan, thus describes 1t in recent letters to her
friends
You know we are pretty we'll used to having
earthquakes. here, slight ones but last Thurs
day night at midnight we had really terrible ex-
perience in that line. The motion shook us
violently from side to side, cracking the walls and
ceilings about us, and breaking the roof part
Of which fell in with loud noise. 1t lasted two
minutes and some seconds; then after half a
minute Of rest came another, longer and still
more terrible At one o'clock, came two more
which seemed still worse, for now the earth in
stead of shaking from side to side heaved up and
down till it felt as II some one was under my bed
trying to lift it to the ceiling; but it was the
whole house--the whole earth of Yokohama,-
thus lifted and jostled Every beam in the
house cracked and groaned, and rushed into
the hall thinking this time the end had surely
come and we would all be killed.
Was l frightened" do you ask? I can't tell
yon the sickening, hopeless agony OF the fright,
the feeling OF it. You have to experience it to
understand it, and never want to experience it
again. What with the earthquakes in winter,
and the typhoons IN summer this is terrible
country. / only hope VIC shall be able to leave
1t for our own good solid land before we are

IeudoIph's Art GALLERY.

RECEPTION OF SOME NEW PAINTINGS By HErzEL--
SOME WORK BY AN ARTIST WHOSE PRODUCTIONS
HAVE NOT BEEN ON EXHIBITION BEFORE.
On Saturday last, Mr. G. L. Rudolph received
two paintings from Mr.. Geo. Hetzel, at Pitts
burg, being his latest productions, and, probab-
", his best. They are descriptive of Summer
and Autumn scenery. Each is representative of
the wild and picturesque beauty which surrounds
Johnstown, Pa. and If faithful 10 the original
the localities must be charming and delightful.
The summer scene will probably attract the
beholder with greater interest. 1t being 80 very
cheerful, and a representation CT pastoral life
which meme can fail to admire. spirit of con-
tentment and peace broods over the whole
scene a lovely valley. In the fore
ground murmurs stream whose waters
are 80 low that the hockey bottom is everywhere
exposed, and whose sides are living picture of
rock over which has flowed the muddy currents.
On either side of the stream, which is lost in the
far distant mountains cattle are lazily browsing,
while all around them grow in luxurlance the
meadow grasses. just beyond is a field ripe for
the harvest, and back of this lofty mountain
range which seemingly stretches miles away. 1t
is here that the artist has executed his best
work. The mountain foliage is brought out with
faithful effect,a lazy haze overhangng the whole
which increases in volume and intensity with
the receding view. Throughout, the picture is
one of rare beauty and excellence. The autumn
scene depicts III natural colors the yariegated
foliage of the mountains after the frosts. have
tinged the leaves, and blends both in the water
between the hills and the sky overhead all the
glories of late season. This scene is moro
sombre than the frst-named, but in perfection
of execution ia not one whit less
Mr.. Rudolph has also on exhibition lot of
choice paintings by Hamilton, Benzel, Lewes
and others, descriptive of marine, landscape and
other views. Among them are two small paint.
