A SMALL EARTHQUAKE IN NEW YoRK-Corre-
spondence OF the Utica Herald from CanaJoha-
RE, December 80, says: The unpleasant rumb-
ling OF an earthquake shock was distinctly
heard and felt at Rural Grove, Charleston Four
Corners, Sloanvflle and Central Bridge, in
Montgomery and Schoharie counties, about 9:l5
pm. saturday. 1t is reported that the rafting
Of dishes ard windows was startling.
The Schoharie Republican OF January says:
slight, although distinct, shock OF an earth
quake was felt here at 9:32 p.m. saturday. As
far as we have heard, no oscillation OF the earth
was noticeable as at the time OF the heavy
shock i'm 1871 although the shock was fully as
distant as that OF 1873, but perhaps not quite as
long in duration. Houses were shaken and
rocked to and fro AS far as KnoWersyiIle Albany
county, it was generally observable, and shook
things up generally, but we opine il did not
reach the capital city, as the Albany papers OF
Monday morning are as dumb as an oyster
about it.
