PERSONS SWEPT INTO THE sEA.-Advi-
ces from Lima, Peru, state that Callao
was visited by another tidal wave Oh the
morning of the 9th ult. When the tide
receded it was noticed that the boats and
coasting craft along shore were left high
and dry, and when the wave returned it
passed with immense force over the
walls of the Muelle Darsena, rushing
up over the newly made ground to-
wards the station of the Gray railroad
for distance of three hundred feet, car
rying everything before it. Launches,
the numerous little cane huts built on
the Esplanade, and many Enclosures
around coal and lumber yards, &C., were
completely destroyed. The massive
walls of the Muelle Darsena, in front of
the English railway station, were torn
away, and in the station itself train of
freight cars was wrecked. The surfwas
tremendously high.
There was a severe shock of earth
quake in the south of Peru on the Oath.
Considerable damage was done to pro-

A correspondent writing the next day
notes the drowning of five men, two of
whom were swept from the iron bridge
connecting the shore with the dock.
Hundreds of people witnessed the
drowning, but no assistance could be
given. The sea was very violent, in
which ships rolled fearfully, and the
decks ofthe Peruvian man-of-war Huas-
car were repeatedly swept by the
waves.

AN OUTRAGE IN PENNsYLvANIA.-|
Near Lincoln Station, Chester county,
Pa, on Saturday afternoon week, Miss
Matte Kean, a respectable white lady,
10 years of age, visited store and made
some purchases, and in few hours af-
forwards was found lying in the woods
near by in an insensible condition, the
victim of a felonieus assault. When the
young lady became conscious she in
dieated colored man, Benjamin Pons-
ley, as the author of the outrage, and he
was arrested. AS an officer having him
in charge was taking him to West Ches-
ter on train Sunday evening an effort
was made at Lincoln by large and in
furiated crowd of colored students of
Lincoln College to break open the car
and wreak lynch vengeance upon the
body of Ponsley, and no doubt this
would have been done but for the earnest
and cool circumstances of the officer
At the hearing Sunday the prisoner &C
knowledged his crime, and stated that
he had no accomplish in the brutal
deed. Ell
A letter received in Baltimore by a
brother of one of, the colored students
states that they were greatly incensed al
the outrage, and would have. killed Pons.
ley but for,the fact that the train moved
off too, soon. The. writer says: 1--WE
make clean work of such men here
black or white; they do not deserve any
better law"
