Lively Encounter with a Buffalo.

Buffalo hunts out on our Western plains
are not always void of excitement aud
romance, as young gentleman from Mis-
sissippi will testify who recently engaged
with several others in these hunts. 1t SO
happened that he had become separated
from the rest of the company, and was
hiding behind a sage bush, waiting patiently
to get shot at large herd which seemed
to be coming in his direction. He had not
long to wait before the excited herd
dashed by and disappeared amid cloud of
dust, leaving behind animmense bull, which
had been wounded by the gentleman afore-
said. AS soon as the cause of his mis-
fortune had been discovered the animal
dashed upon him, giving him barely tune
to jump as the Infatuated bull passed di.
rectiy over the spot where he had stood.
Things began to look more alarming than
interesting, but there was no time to con.
slider the matter, as the animal was again
upon him and again he had to jump. This
operation was repeated four times, he man
aging meanwhile 10 get in several shots,
but without effect. AS he was Jumping for
the fifth time to escape the assault, his foot
slipped, the bulls horn passing through the
calf Of his leg, completely seyering the
cord, and leaving the adventurer in help.

Earthquake Shocks.

The occurrence of shocks of earthquake
which were experienced all over these Is
lands on the 30th ultimo, has led us to the
perusal, with much interest, of an article
in the London Quarterly Reyie,o for July
of this year, entitled, " Earthquakes, their
Cause and Origin" The writer has in re-
view several recently published books on
the subject, and some of his conclusions
are worth noticing. He says that as rule
not without exceptions-pcrhaps the great
est power and most destructive effects of
earthquakes are exercised upon the more
recent, superficial, and incoherent forma-
tions-clays, Tertiary marls, and the like,
SO that buildings upon alluvial plains, river
deltas, ETC., are more thoroughly shattered
than those on rock or solid strata. And
after citing accounts of numerous destruc.
tive earthquakes in different parts of the
world, the writer says: Considering the
irresistible force, the unmeasured rapidity,
the quick repetition and long duration OF
the shocks, what known agent in Nature
we would ask, except Electricity, is capa.
bic of producing at the same time such
singular effects in the sea and tremendous
results on land?" The article concludes in
these words: "Sr William Thompson
and other eminent men of science, now in.
tent upon the acquisition, collecting, and
storing of electric force, will, it is to be
hoped, direct their attention to that store.

reached this place early this morning
being no less than the terrible death o
seven persons, whether by the hand O
the assassin or by cruel flames Is not ye
positively asCertained, the general impres
sion, however, favoring the former theory
-Four miles east OF this place there re-
sided, up to the time OF the event, Mr.
Wiley Emery and seven children, three
boys and four girls, the eldest, girl, be-
fing seventeen years Of age, and the young
eat six, Mrs, Emery, the wife and mother,
having died several years ago, Mr., Emery,
as before stated, was well.to,do, and owned
. large stock farm, the products OF which
annually brought him q handsome sum.
A few days since he sold several thou
sand dollars worth oi stock, and, as was
his custom, took the money homo with
him instead OF placing it in bank. This
money was known TO be In the house last
night, and II Is thought the house was
spotted by two susplCious.looking men
who had been seen lurking In the neigh.
borhood torseVeral days past, but who are
now missing,
About nine o'clock last night a Mr.,
Green, the nearest neighbOr TO the EN-.
erys, saw . bright light in the direction OF
the latters house, and calling his help
hastened over 10 render assistance In ex-
tinguishing the flames, which, by the time
Of their arrival, were completely envelop.
ing the iated building. TO their horror,
when reaching the house, they discovered
that the iamiIy OF seven souls were inside.
AT first 1t was supposed that the inmates
were asleep and efforts were made to
arouse them, but to no purpose. The door
was then battered down, but on account OF
the flames, which by this time had taken
possession Of the hallway leading to the
sleeping apartments, an entrance could not
be effected, and the bodies OF the entire
lamlly were consumed, together with the
house and its contents.
Not q cry was heard from the victims by
those who ran TO their assistance, and
from this fact 1t Is inferred that after the
inmates had retired, the house was enter.
ed by some 6end or 6ends, who first muir.
dered the family, secured the money and
other valuables, and then fired the house
Tor the purpose Of wiping out all evidence
Of their Infamous crime, II this theory Ia
correct, there must have been more than
one, as Mr.. d. was large, stout, active
man, and his oldest SONS, two good.sized
boys, able to cope with afull.grown man.
The father and two sons slept In the same
room, and 1t is hardly probable that one
could have been attacked and overcome
without awakening the others.
The entire country Is thoroughly
aroused, and a thorough investigation Of
the tragedy will be made, and, should the
murder theory become established and
the suspected persons be captured, short
work will be made ofthem.
