The EarthquakeI

Accounts in the State papers show that the earthquake shock noticed in our last extended over this county, the western part of Hartford county. southeastern Massachusetts, and eastern New York. Itwas felt in the city of Hartford, but the shock, there, was evidently much lighter than further west. In New Hartford win- dows were rattled and the houses shaken So that crockery fell from the shelf in one instance. In Winsted, the shock was as loud as an ordinary clap of thunder, and it's force was sufficient to shake windows, shut and open doors, move loose articles, and considerably alarm many people. ''Music Hall Block" says the Herald, "one of our strongest built buildings, was shaken so that it awakened its occupants. ' Further west the vibration is described as continuous and not commencing with the sort of explosion noticed here. Itwas ob- served in Eastern Duchess County, N. Y. and in Southern Berkshire County, Mass. It was not noticed in Simsbury or farther south than Waterbury, we believe. s"
 Slight earthquake shocks are not very uncommon, but this one was remarkable for its narrow range and for severity which finds no parallel in the memory of the "oldest inhabitant Tho Waterbury American guesses that Old Mother Earth wishes to give the thirteen salable repre- sentatives from Litchield county taste of the wrath to come.

The farmers ofthis vicinity are rejoicing in the rains of the past fortnight. They have greatly improved the appearance of growing cropsand many of the gardens that were getting so thirsty as to need ire quent watering are now looking fresh and green, while the late sowed corn which was looked upon as a failure has now sprung up kenagic from the dry earth of a few weeks since. Our upland meadows are generally cut. and the rain will keep them from being dried up by the sun. Some of the lowland meadows may still improve. There is good supply of small fruits, although the birds claim the first picking, as usual. There will be fair yield of apples and pears though not a great crop.

The inference in the last Enquirer from Index correspondence. that there is any opposition to the Principal of our High School is an error. There was no opposition to hiring him for another term. The motion was put to secure his services for the next two years and was opposed only on legal grounds. We all hope he will teach here for years to come.

On Saturday afternoon. tho Nameless B. B. C., of Litchfeld, played the Nut megs of this place, on the Valley Park grounds. The home club seemed unable to hit Mowers pitching and were blanked five times in succession. the Nameless scoring ten runs in the meantime. At this point the Nutmegs seemed to get de- moralized and allowed themselves to be grated" down very thin during the suc- ceeding innings. Like the Washingtons they were generally unable to strike the ball outside the in-field and were captur: ed in quick succession on fouls, short flies and strikes. The Nameless had no diff culty in hitting Kennedy's balls or those of either of the change pitchers who took his place during the game. Hale took two flies in centre field, Roberts made home run on a fine hit to right field, and the playing of the Nameless both at the bat and in the field was on the whole the best they have done this season. On the Vol cottville side there was some good catch ing and some good mufiing in the outfield, and the best catch of the game wss that of Scoville, at third base, of ball very hot from the bat. The umpire, Mir. All dis. of Wolcottville. gave general satisfac- tion. We give the score by innings:
