Then the bear was close upon him, and

a CITY of Mexico dispatch says that
the great volcano of Colima, now in active
eruption, is grand and magnificent
sight. The first symptoms of activity
were manifested Sunday. There were
low rumblings and subterranesn NUT
terings, and the mountains shook and
Irembled. The eruption at night is full
of splendor and grandeur. Last night
lurid flames shot up from the crater of
the volcano, Illuminating the darkness
for miles around. Incandescent stones
are also thrown up, together with show
ers of ashes, which darken the stmos-
phere in day time. The fire, smoke,
ashes and stones are accompanied with
dreadful subterranean laundering and
frightful and unearthly noises under the
volcano, together with quakings of the
earth. The sublImity of the scene is
equal to the terror it inspires. Inhabit-
ants of villages and towns in the. vicin-
ity of the mountain are in state OF
panic and wild terror.

THE BUSY VOLCANO.
What They are Doing in the Hot Coun-
trieS-0utbr eaks i'm Asia and Africa

The records of outbreaks of volcanic
force IN Africa, at any period, are rare,
Last spring the volcanic district between
the mainland and the Canaries was un-
usually active, and at the same time
Madagascar was visited With several
shocks of earthquake. Toward the end
OF the year these were reported, and
extended to the mainland of Africa, the
town OF Ibo, in Mozambique, being de.
stroyed'in the early part of November.
With the exception of three severe
shocks of earthquake felt on July II, at
Cairo, and in the neighborhood of the
Great Pyramid, these are all the records
OF the kind from Africa.
Asia: on the other hand, has been in
one part or another the scene of inces-
SAINT and most severe outbreaks. Early
In March the Himalaya region was
generally subject to Shocks" which
were followed at the end of the month
and till April by series of disastrous
earthquakes in Persia. Between March
% and April 3 twenty-one considerable
villages were destroyed, and more than
flfty severely damaged, while the loss of
human life was computed at over 1000
The village of Mianeh, Manan ana
lark, which were completely demolish-
ed with nearly every inhabiiant, con-
tanned 500 inhabitants apiece. The
same period was one of unusual activ-
lty in Java. From March % 10 June 5
mcessant earthquakes were felG in all
parts of the island. The volcanoes of
Smeru and Gede emitted enormous
quantities Of lava and ashes. the latter
being carried great distances, and sever
al towns and villages were injured or
uesLrUyc ca, anu Many uyes lusI. t.surcial-
ly at Tjandjoer, near Batavia. On June
l9 the scene was changed TO North west
China, amd throughout that month and
the next a succession OF earthquakes
was experienced; the ground opened,
water was thrown out from the assures,
whole towns were leveled to the earth,
and nearly 1000 people perised in DIFF
ferent towns throughout the provinces
Kansu and Sbenshi. The total loss of
life, therefore, from earthquakes in Asia
during the past year must have exceed
ed 1000.

Wayne county Ky, on the 4th inst. A
man named Powell who was witness to
the killing of Hutchinson by Phillips
last fall, had been threatened if he did
not leave the county, he declined to 60
and on Saturday night party of seven
masked men attacked his house. Three
were killed by Powell with an axe and
one shot dead. The others retreated but
are now injail, Mrs. Powell was shot in
the arm in the fight.
AN Omaha special of the 4th inst,
says that city was fired on Sunday night
in number ofplaces, but only one of the
buildings fired burned down, as the fire
department did most effectual work We
have had incendiary fires every night
since Thursday last, and there seems to
be persistent attempt to burn the city.
A large lumber yard and a manufactur
ing establishment were both fired last
night, but both were saved. summary
measures are liable to to be adopted il
the fire bugs are captured. The losses in
the aggregate are already heavy.
A SALTWATER, MINI, special of the
9Th says George alias "Nibsey" Payne,
who is confined in the Minnesota Peni-
Tertiary, convicted of burglary, and
wanted in Chicago on charge of mur-
der, escaped from his accustomed place
in the shoe shop this afternoon about
o'clock while the guard was in an
adjoining shop. He was missed i'm.
mediately, and vigorous search insti-
tuted, which resulted in his recovery
about $50 this evening secreted in the
stO4 Groom underneath cburns, doors,
sashes, etc. He had slipped out Of the
back door, and went down a lin conduc-
tor pipe on the outside of the building
from the third story. and was waitin G
for night all, when he intended to make
his escape.

ance with the usual course of trade dur
ing the first quarter of the wear, After
March there is customary falling off
in our exports until after the summer
months. For the nine months ended
March 81 our exports aggregated s627, ;
