Heavy Earthquake.

NcaSy A.sEsh40hhes
GONZALES, Cal, November 7th.-
About 9:53 this morning there was a
shock Of earthquake that lasted three
seconds.
HoLLIsTER, November 9TH. - The
heaviest shock of earthquake ever felt
in this vicinity visited US this morn
ing at ten o'clock and lasted fully 20
seconds. 1t was preceded by a harsh,
| rumbing noise, and commenced very
light, gradually increasing until it
brought up with severe shock, and
then as gradually decreased. The vi
bration was from East to West. Many
of the inhabitants were frightened
and rushed into the streets. Many
clocks were stopped, goods shaken
from the shelves i'm the stores and brick
buildings CRACKED, although no severe
damagewas done. This Is the second
shock experienced here within the
last three months, which was not felt
at any other point on the coast.
Rev. T. NJ. Dawson Is again in hot
I water. This time it is with the Pres
| bytery of California, under the juris-
diction of which he preached before
he INDUCED in his true inward pro-
clivities and paroxysmal business. He
has but recently returned from trip
to Honolulu, and 1t is for some of his
Beecher-like tlirtations with an actress
on his trip down that the Presbytery
want to interview him. He has been
several times cited TO appear before
the Presbytery during the past week,
but has treated the summons each
time with the utmost indifference.
At length the Presbytery resolved
to take the matter up anyhow, and
set to-day for the time; but Dawson
headed them off by getting out of
their Jurisdiction this morning so as
to prevent that body from ventilating
his conduct.
A man was knocked down with a
sand club last evening on Sansome

He was badly hurt. No arrests.

THERE is no substance in alcohol
which can repair the damage done
10 the body. It cannot supply the
waste Of blood, or bone, or nerve, or
muscle; hence it is preppsterous to
call it r3od. On the ether hand it
kindles inflammation, weakens vital
action, binders digestion, and eX-
hansts the forces OF life.

DEATH OF M. r

The Nashville American of the Isl

Craighead, a Tennesseean how in Paris,
and a delegate to the late Biographies
Congress, stating that NJ. Edmond Far
renee, one Of Tennessee's delegates to
the Congress, died suddenly of heart
disease on the 10th of August, at his
residence in Paris. Mr.. Crsighead says;
His extended experience and superior
attainment in learning showed to the
greatest advantage in his contributors

FIRST preached the subject Of direct trade
and drew the attention OF French mer-
| chants. thus rendering comparatively
easy his favorite project, the connection
OF French aud Mississippi valley trade
by means of the Chambers of Commerce
of Paris and Tennessee. The negotia-
tons which he originated and pursued
with so much vigor aud success are now,
fear, in statu quo. There is no one
left here who can command the atten-
ton Of the Psrisian trade or follow up
the arrangements already entered into
as could N Farrenc if he were alive;
so. in ~sorrowing for the untimely end OF
This excellent gentleman, we may also
throw a thought Of regret toward the un-
finished work in which be took such a

vICKsBURe ENDANGERED.

The V~lcksburg Herald reluctantly
makes the admission that a cutoff in the
bend of the Mississippi river opposite
yicksburg is likely to take place soon'
and predicts that unless something is
done above in the way Of %jetties or leyees
to throw the channel on the Mississippi
side that in less than twelve months only
a shallow lake will remain in front OF
the city and that steamboats, will prooa-
bly, be unable to reach the landing. TINS
would indeed be a calamity to our sister
city and one which we hope may yet be
ayerted. 1t has been apprehended a
long time, especially since Grant at
tempted to open a channel across the
bend for military purposes in 1868. The
water has gradually encroached on the
little deck of land until the space left is
ANAL and weak and itcontinually yields
10 the force of the water. The Herald
discusses the matter at length, but offers
no remedy except j%etties or leviea. But
the people are hardly able to undertake
such q vast and costly work, and we can
not see how anything practicable is TO
be done without the aid Of Congress.
The government helped to make the cut
of-a very poor military move, like But
lsr' Dutch Gap canal, and might, as a
matter of justice to an unfortunate peo
ple. as we'll as 10 the interest OF com
merce, make amends for the harm done
by having the whole ground surveyed by
its engineers and then granting an APP
preparation to carry out the work. 9th
erwise, if the channel should De diverted
and Vicksburg left an inland city, then
Ichabod may be written on its walls.

This will give them an opportunity to

only concern the court but every tax

nothing criminally wrong in the manage
ment of that institution. We give
everybody implicated the benefit Of a
doubt, but there is q general and a we'll
founded impression that things have
been running " sorter loose" and that it
costs more than itshould. Let the court
look into this matter without fear, favor
or affection for anybody. 1t might be
well enough to appoint 3 committee Of
good citizens not personally interested
to make an investigation and report
such suggestions as they might deem
best. As 1t has been managed there
