THE EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.

A correspondent of the New York Herald fur
nishes farther particulars of the earthquake ia
Guadalajara.
"On the llth inst, at twenty five minutes after
eight P. NJ. A rumbng sound came from the
earth beneath us, the precursor of tremendous
earthquake. The animals instinctvely manifested
their surprise; the dogs howled, the horses turned
down their ears and snorted, the cattle which were
living down jumped up terrified and assumed their
attitude when fearing to be eaten up by wolves;
all were prepared for the danger which was about
to come upon them An instant afterward came
another subterraneous rumbng, and then began
the catastrophe. The earth swung back and forth
from the northeast to the southeast rapidly sue
ceeded by oscillations from the east to the west it
seemed, so to speak, that the earth had been
wounded by some electric shock. A frightful
whlrwind followed, after which oil was confusion.
Even the river itself seemed to be frightened,
dashing from side to side, its current being lost.

proceeded toward nay home, but the rapid move
ment Of the earth threw me down twice, and a
moment afterwards was mmovably fixed by q
terrible noise occasioned by the falling Of the
houses and the doleful screams Of nearly all the
inhabitants. A cloud of dust covered the whole
town and the air was suffocating.

where my house stood, meeting in the way a num-

use of certain superstitions orations. My heart
almost sank within me as rushed forward in the
hope of seeing my family, for, to the horrors of
the scene the groans Of many persons tended to
prove that each heap of ruins would also be
sepulchre. Arriving at the spot where my house
was, l found but heap of rubbish. | called lus-
tily, SO as to ascertain, if possible, if there was
any one alive beneath, but received no response.
l then ran off to another part Of the town, and
there discovered that my family, fortunately,
away visiting at the time the house fell and were
thus saved from destruction. After some hours
had been lost the work Of searching for friends
and relatives known to be beneath the ruins was
commenced; but 1t is impossible at thi. time to
state exactly how many persisted, partly because a
great many people took to their heels and ran into
the forest and partly because the darkness prevents
perfect search for the bodies. So far, in few
hours, thirty -seven bodies have been dragged out.
1t is reported from Ahuacatlan that little while
before the earthquake the sky was covered with
reddish clouds and that continued subterranean
noises were heard.
At ten o'clock at night there was shower Of

At fifteen minutes past eight o'clock yesterday

PSESIDENCY OF TUFTS COLLEG.


A meeting ofthe Board of Trustees of Tufts
College was held in the parlors of the Quincy
House in Boston, Tuesday, Ex-Governor Wash
burn of Maine in the chair
The object of the meeting was to receive the re-
port of committee, consisting Of Hon. Richard
rockingham, j. o. Curtis of Medfsrd. c. G. Pope
of Somerville, II. B. Metcalf of Pawtucket, r. l.,
and Hon. Lucius r. Paige of Cambridge, who
were appointed some weeks since to select can
didate for President of the college. 1t Is well
known that at;ssshsF Of gentlemen, eminent for
ability and scholarly attainment, have been men
toned in connection with this important office, but
no one appears to have met with so general an
endorsement as the Rev. Elmer Hewett Capen Of
Providence, r. l., who was recommended by the
Faculty and many of the alumni, and who is under
stood to have received the unanimous nomination
of the trustees which is equivalent to an election
although by the rules OF the Board the nomna
ton will lay over one week.
The candidate is young man, perhaps the
youngest of all the college Presidents in this
country, being only SO years of age. lie is ma
tive of Stoughton in this State, and graduated at
Tufts College in the the class of 1850. He was
chosen member of the Massachusetts Legislature
in 1859, and at the same time entered the Harvard
Law School, from which he graduated, and was
admitted to practice. The legal profession be-
coming distastful to him Mr.. Capen entered the
ministry and was settled over the Universaist So
ciety at Gloucester, where he preached with uni
versal acceptance two or three years. Inc healtn
of his wife compelling him to seek change of eli
mate, he removed to st. Paul, Mimi, where he
resided two years, and came thence to Providence
VIII ere he has presided over one OF the most flour
ishng societies in New England.
1t is not often that college so young in years
twenty has succeeded in raising up student for
its President. Mr.. Capen is a well-developed,
scholarly mans close student, and will 1t is
thought, exercise wide influence in promoting
the welfare Of the college.-Boston Journal.
