An earthquake occurred in Ohio

An earthquake occurred in Ohio
and other parts of the West on the
18th inst. At Urbana, Sidney and
other towns in Southwestern Ohio
there was quite severe shaking of
the earth. In Urbana, buildings
were swayed SO that they could be
seen to move. In Sidney the greater
part Of the shelving in the drug store
was thrown to the floor. A large
number of buildings were shaken
very perceptibly, cracking wall, and
the inhabitants, alarmed, ran out of
the houses into the streets. A large
steam boiler was moved nearly foot
from its original position. AtAnna,
six miles.north of Sidney, on the
Dayton and Michigan railroad, it
cracked all the houses, knocked down
chimncys and disturbed goods on
shelves in stores. At DeGraff, the
shock was very strong, jarring the
buildings to their foundations. At
Anderson, Indiana, q very strong
shock was felt, shaking all the build
ings in town. At Jacksonville, In
diana, it was felt quite sensibly. At
vincennes, Indiana, the shock was
very heavy. AT Union, Ind, it was
slight. Chicago was slightly shaken
up also, and Cincinnati also expert
cnced q slight trcmor. No very seri-
Gus damage is reported at any point.

It is a melancholy illustration Of
human nature that, after great pubic
calamitics, robbers and murderers
are all the more active in the perpc-
tsation of their outragcs. st Ger
vanta, South America, which had
Just been destroyed by an earthquake,
many of the surviving citizens were
plundered and murdered. The same
was true of Lisbon, 1915. After the
great earthquake of that year, assas-
sins were SO bold and numerous that
the Prime Minister, the Marquis of
Pombal, was forced to execute num-
Der of them in the most summary
manner in order to restore quiet.
The New York Times says the
amount of money spent every year
by Americans travelling in Europe,
would startle the world if it could be
ascertaincd. At a low estimate the
total number of those visiting Europe
must amount to 10000. Suppose
each person; spcnds abroad a thous7
and dollars, in ten years four hund=
red millions Of dollars in gold have
been lost to this country.
Jtappears-that- dan
gerous counterfeit fifty cent script of
the series of 1873 has made its ap-
pearance. The general outline is
well calculated todeceivc. The num-
Der and letter is slightly wider and
heavier than that upon the genuine
ones, while in the lower left-hand
corner the date 1901 looks more like
$50 with a short perpendicular dash.
The recent robbery in the Treasury
Office at Washington, is still involv-
cd in mystery, so far as the public

seems to regard the Office with sus-
picion; and hcsitates about taking
charge. He probably does not want
to run the risk of being held amen
able for the bad work of others.

An intelligent English gcographer
who wrote an American Gazetteer,
which was printcdat London, in 1T6,
has 4 few words to say about the
town of Bristol, in Rhode Island, that
will be new to our readers. In COM
piling his book he had doubtless read
that King Philip had 4 residence or
seat on Mount Hope in the town of
Bristol, Philip of Pokanoket, the
great Indian chief of course being
meant. But the learned geographer,
being less familiar with the history
of our Indians and their chiefs than
with European history, supposed the
royal parsonage who had a residence
on Mount Hope, could be no other
than some OF the King Philips Of
Spain. He, therefore, in speaking Of
Bristol says: ''rhe town is remarka-
Bile for the King of Spain having a
palace in it, and being killed there

heard and answered-Philadelphia and New
York, which had then unfortunately, for time,
passed out OF the hands of the Sons OF Liberty,
alone giving cool and feeble response.
Baltimore at once and earnestly advocated
suspension of trade with Great Britain, and
Congress, saying to the friends in Boston, 'The
Supreme Disposer of all events will terminate

confirmation on American freedom
New Hempshlre and New Jersey joined heart

OF Liberty was by no means easy. The division
Of sentiment Lere was sharp and violent. The
peace OF families was invaded, brother being
almost ready to oetray the brother unto death,
and father the SON. There was great popular SEN
timenI tor the cause OF freedom it is true and
whenever the inspired orators Of that day pro-
nounced their solemn protests and laid down
their sublime principles ''the common people
heard them gladly" But we should not forget
that the struggle which at this distant day APP
pears so spot ess and sincere was attended by all
the bitterness and warmth and misunderstand-
ing and injustice and suspicion that belong to all
