An EAnTmQUAKE.--An earthquake was felt
on Sunday morning about two o'clock, in vari-
Gus localities Of New England, New York
State and Canada. AT Glen's Falls, Schuyl-
crvilIe, along Lake George, at Ogdensburgh

was of considerable violence. At Ogdens-

east and the tremor lasted over a minute at
Cape Vincent windows, crockcry, stoves, and

How Pierrpont and Jesse got to Windsor
Castle, is thus explained by the ''World"
newspaper:
The Queen came down stairs to receive the
General, as she would do to royal visitor,
and if any rudeness took place in the castle il
did not proceed from the Queen. You had
better ask how it was that an invitation
which was at first designed only for General
and Mrs. Grant was afterward made to in
clude Minister Pierrpont and his wife and
Master Jesse Grant You will find, if you
get to the bottom of that story, a pretty spec
linen of diplomatic manuuring, and you will
see that if the kite takes it into its head to 60
up without its tail, it will pretty soon find out
that the thing can't be done. You have eyi-
IDENTIFY moderated Minister pierrepont's &C
complishmens as a kites tail. As for quar-
rels about ''precedence," the only dispute
that took place was at dinner whore Gen.

Duke OF Cambridge And this he would not
have done if his good friends who managed
him here had not egged him on. II is a thou

vived. knew of them all at the time they
took place, and of many other little incidents
of which your readers do not yet seem to have
heard but it seemed to me the wisest to say
nothing shout them If injustice is to be
done, however, the whole truth had better be
told, and there are some Americans returning
to New York who can give you au idea as to
who is likely to suffer most when q clean
breast is made all round, of what they saw or
heard on the Fourth of July in Cavendish
square. Then, perhaps, the eyes of the blind

THE MYSTERY OF N1URRY CREEK.

| Every traveller Who during the last six
years has rode over the route leading from
Hunter toward the eastern portion of White
Pine county, has noticed during the summer
| months the well cultivated garden OH hurry
Creek, which beautiful stream flows into
Steptoe Valley. Generally, a little, old dried
up Frenchman could be seen working in the
garden late and early, who could talk no lam
guage Ineligible to any one, and to whom no
commission of lunacy would refuse diploma
to Woodbridge. He had squatted on about
two acres of land and inclosed it with neat
and close sagebrush fence, built thereon lit
tie stone hut, furnished with little round
loop-holes under the roof The land belonged
to neighboring farmer, but as the little old
Frenchman was inotfensive and did the
farmer no material injury, he was allowed to
cultivate his garden year after year unmo-
Tested. When travellers or residents of the
neighboring town of Mineral City, wanted
vegetables the old man understood "two bitsf
or "six bits" and furnished the crispest Of
lettuce and the most succulent radishes in ex:
change. And so year after year passed away
and the "little crazy Frenchman'' became
fixture on Murry Creek But few months
ago terrible tragedy occurred at Mineral
City, a few miles this side of the two-acre
farm of "Little Frenchy," and after he had
seen number OF excited men pass from Ward
and other points in buggies and on horse
back, and not understanding what all this
wild commotion meant, he finally ventured
up the road to town, and there he saw the
causeiof all the excitement, which was no less
than the CHASTITY corpse of Matt Gleeson,
who had that day been cruelty murdered by
John Roach. Gleason, during his lfe-ti time,
had done some kind act that endeared him to
the little Frenchman, and when he beheld
his dead body he became wild and demonstra-
tive at the sight, and after dropping on his
knees and uttering some mysterious. incanta- |
tons over the hfeless body of his former |
friend, he departed from the house and from
that moment has not been seen or heard of. |
The little two-acre farm has gone to ruin and |
decay, the fence has fallen down, and owls |
and bats inhabit the little stone hut, but |
where the little crazy Frenchman has drifted |
to no one knows.-White Pine Ne,cs, dug !.

New York, August THE Times has the
following special from London August 6: The
successes of the Turks have upset the calcu-
lations of Bismarck, who is now actively
engaged in intrigue with Russia and Austria
in expectation to influence the latter to con-
sent to the passage of the Russian reinforce
ments through Servia territory to a position
of advantage on the Turkish left flank.
Austria waivers in the presence of uncertainty
of action on the part of the British govern
ment, while the latter is evidently anxious to
let the Turks fight it out, their success having
much relieved the embarrassment of the
Ministry. England, much as she desires to
maintain her neutrality, could hardly silently
permit combination of three Emperors to
rob Turkey of the results of her victory.
