Earthquake Scare at Georgetown
Affairs in BOgOta-ImpOrtant Rail-
road PrOject-The Fruit Trade
Looking Up-Refugee JesuIts at
Panama.

PANAMA, June 25.--The people of Grey
town had an earthquake scare on the night
OF the Sth inst. Four shocks in all were dis
tinctly felt, one of them quite severe. The
people rushed into the streets, and prayers
for preservation from death were freely
uttered. Their fears were groundless,a as the
town is built of wood. Things, however,
soon resumed their normal condition. The
fruit trade on the Nicaraguan and Costa
Rica coast is looking up. Two steamers
from New Orleans and another from New
York were at Greytown, Port Limon, etc.,
in the early part of the month.
The Star and Herald correspondent at
Bogota. under date of June 9TH, says: "The
political situation has so far improved that
the public peace is perfectly assured for a
long time to come.s The general govern
ment, now quite at its ease on this score,
will begin the construction of a railroad be-
tween the Colombian capital and the Maga-
delena river via Guardot. The work will
commence about the end of the pres
ent month. Diplomatic relations
with Venezuela have been renewed
through the medium of protocol mutual
ly honorable, which was unanimously ap-
ternal explanations have caused every diff
Guilty to disappear. The Spanish-American
Congress will convene in Panama in De-
cember. The Republic Of Chilli has desist-
ed entirely from any claims for the affair of
the transit of arms through Colombian terri
tory with real or supposed destination to
Peru. The State Legislative Assembly has
concluded its labors without having more
than glanced at the important and the press
ing necessities of the country. The weather
has been altogether remarkable. For some
days heavy southerlY gales, increasing at
times to almost a hurricane in violence,
heavy rains and tremendous thunder and
lightning have made things rather nncom-
Portable. No disasters of moment have oc-
Cured. Some Jesuit fathers have come
down from Grey5own by the royal steamer

Letter from Charlton County. Ga,

REYNOLDS BRIDeE GA, July Up to within
week or so ago the crops in this section of
the county were failing rapidly, especially
early corn; but the recent rains have brought
them out, and bright smiles have iEumined
the countenances of the farmer, where but
short while since were settled care and
anxiety. Notwithstanding the long dry spell
that has existed, an average corn crop will
be made with favorable seasons hereafter. The
drought has not materially affected cotton,
except probably to check the growth OF the
wee1 to g. limited extent; but even this has
been rather favorable than otherwise, since it
has caused 1t to fruit more perfectly. Probably
about the same quantity Of corn was planted
as last year The acreage in cotton has been
considerably increased But little fertilizers
have been used, except of the homemade
kind.
The peach crop is heavy one and In good
condition, being clear of disease of any kind
Those who have sold any to spectators have
obtained reasonable prices for them, viz:
seventy five cents per bushel at the tree
These are all intended for shipment North.
Sweet potatoes. which is no inconsiderable
crop in this county, is moderately good. and

LONDON, July 5.-One of the two tug
boats, which left the river Clyde on the
2Sth ult. in search of the steamer Vandaila,
from Hamburg for New York, which broke
her shaft and was spoken on the 26th
ult., has returned, having been unsuccess-
full. The Captain of the tug says he knows
nothing of the whereabouts of the
second tug. He met a heavy
westerly gale and thick weather,
and even if the second tug encountered the
Vandalia it could not tow her. Another
tug will leave Thurso to-day in search of
the disabled steamer. The manager of the
Hamburg American Steamship Company is
now at Glasgow trying to get large steam
er to go out, and the Admiralty has been
asked to order the man of war on the north
ern station to seek the Vandalis.

I'd have thee be my constant guide
In this terrestrial sphere.
When I am sad and lonely here,
And all seems dark without,

DispeIling mists Of doubt

In all my JOY and pleasures here,
When all is brightness round,

Eight Thousand a Year.

Despotlc papa declared that Brown
should not marry his charming EN-
iIv-heiress to eight thousand year
unless he was wealthy.
"What is your fortune, sir?" he
asked, magesterially.
"Well | don't exactly know" said
Brown, who was as poor as church
mouse; "but let your daughter be-
come my wife, and | promise that
she shall have endless gold"
ENDLESS gold is rather an exag~
geration, eh?" remarked papa, rather
surprisingly.
'FScarcely in my case,' said Brown,
"as my wife and l, be as extravagant
as we might, should never be able to
get through IT,"
care you telling me truth?"
"The truth, I vow i'll"
"Then take her, my boy,," said
papa, grasping Browns hand; land
happy am l that my child has been
saved from the clutches Of fortune
hunters"
Well, they were married, and
Brown made the money fly at such
a rate that when his wiie's mllliner's
bill came in he was obliged 10 confess
himself stumped.
Mrs. Brown Immediately sent for
her papa.
"What's this?" said papa. What
do you mean, sir? Where's tie end
less gold you promised, eh?"
81 kept my promise answered

ded Brown, turning to his wife, 'do
you think that both of us could
ever get through any thing which
only just fits one OF those taper fin
ger?"
Papa looked as if he was going to
have a fit, but remark of his daugh
ter's averted the catastrophe.
"Well, papa" she said, "there''
still one thing in our favor. No one
can say that I've got an idiot"
So the storm blew over; and nov
Brown and his wife, though they d.
have TO manage on eight thousand
year, are the happiest couples in tn
two hemispheres. Still, the bride
groom admits that his was rather

too careful in his habits was induced
by his friends to take the teetotal

take one glass OF punch daily.
"Oh" said he, II dare not. Peggy,
my cid housekeeper would tell the
whole parish"
"When do you shaver" the doctor
asked.
I'm the morning"
"Then," said the doctor, "shave at
night; and when Peggy brings you
up your hot water, you can take
your glass Of punch just before go.

TO improve in health and spirits.

LuckYlDaYS.

1t was deemed highly important
among the Anglo Saxons that q
child should be born on lucky day,
on which the whole tenor OF his lite
was supposed to depend, for in their
opinion, each day had its peculiar in
fuence upon the destiny of the newly
born. Thus the first day of the moon
was preferred to all others for the
arrival of the little stranger, for they
said ga child born upon that day was
sure to live and prosper" The Sec,
ond day was not so fortunate as the
first, as the child born on that day
"wonld grow fast, but not live long"
If he were born on the fourth day of
the moon. he was destined to be a
great politician; if on the tenth, a
great traveller; and if on the twenty
first, a bold maurauder. But of all
the days of the week on which to be
born, Sunday was by far the most
lucky, and if it fell OH the new moon,
the child's prosperity was destined
to be unbounded. Friday was an
unlucky birthday, not only because
it was the day OF crusic6xion of our
Lord and Saviour, but because, ac-
cordiug to Anglo Saxon calculations,
Adam ate the forbidden fruit on Fri
day and was also expelled from Par
adise, and died and descended into
hell on that day.
