Clocks in the Earthquake.
rom tho Stockton (Cal.) independent.


The most curious circumstance connect
cd with yesterday mornings earthquake
was the stoppage of all the pendulum clocks
hanging against eastern walls, showing that
the vibration was north and south. Clocks
hanging against other walls were not af-
fected. In the jewellery store of Charles
Haas there is calander clock which on
Saturday night was about five hours fast
It was impossible to pat the hands back
without disarranging the gearing. and the
only way in which it could be regulated was
to turn the hands forward until they mark
ed the right time. AS this process requir
ed about fifteen minutes, and was exceed
ingly tedious, Mr. Haas, when he left at
9 o'clock, stopped the pendulum. intend
ing to regulate the clock on the following
day. Tho earthquake saved him the
trouble When he came to his store yes
terday morning the timepiece was ticking
away like pawnbroker, and, what is still
more remarkable, it was correct to second.
The townclock is propelled by pulley
and tackle, and consequently such mild
CONFUSION as that Of yesterday morning
did not distu, b the serenity of its eguanim-
ity. The final cataclysm will probably
set the old Jaaus- faced chronometer back
few moments, but earthquakes never will.
No material damage was effected by. the
tremble, as far as we can learn, except the
SCATTERING of few nerves aud the loss of
sleep attendant upon the excitement. The
plastering of ceilings in several houses was
badly cracked, crockery thrown from
shelves, chimneys tipped from lamps, be-
sides numberless unimportant: occurrences
of similar character. At the Jail, Officer
Fields thought, upon awakening from a
sound sleep, that the prisoners were trying
to break out. The prisoners thoughtsome-
body was trying to break in.

A history almost as sad and romantic as
that of Romeo and Juliet is attached to
Green Mount. the well known cemetery at
Baltimore, MD. The property was once
owned by John Oliver, a wealthy English
merchant. His only child, beautiful
girl of 20, was loved by young man whose
only unfitness to become her husband lay
tween him and the girls stern father. They
met clandestinely, and planned an elope-
menG:' The father found it out, and gave
orders to his servants to patrol the grounds
by night and shoot all trespassers. Dis
guised in mans clothing, the girl attempted
an escape, and was shot dead at the gate.
Grief stricken, her father erected a
mansoleum upon the spot and decided the
entire property to the eitT tor cemetery.
