THE EWBERRY HERALD.

The Mayor being absent, Gen. W.
81. Hunt was called to the chair. The
minutes of the last meeting were then
approved, and the report OF the Com
mittee which was appointed to ascer-
tain the probable cost of fire depart
ment, and to raise as large an amount as
possible by voluntary subscription,
was read by Mr.. NJ. Foot, chairman.
The report, after being amended in
several particulars, reads as follows:
The Committee. after mature dellb-
Grafton and inquiry, find that the
amount necessary to pay for the nec-
es=ary supply of water-works and ap-
paratus for the extinguishing of fires,
cannot be raised by voluntary subscrip-
ton. and the only means is by direct
taxation upon the property OF the
town. That, until the necessary funds
can be raised, we would suggest that
the Truck now owned by the town, and
in the hands Of regularly organized
Fire Company composed OF colored
citizens who have at the late fires
rendered valuable assistance and
showaS that by proper drilling and
with proper tools they can be made an
efficient fire company, your committee
would respectfully recommend:
1st. That a proper person be fur
nished this company for drilling and
directing them at fires.
I'd. That the Truck, Ladders, Bah
cocks, Buckets. Hooks, Axes and all
things belonging to truck, be placed
in complete tepair aud an extra num-
Der of buckets be placed in the truck
house.
Sd. That the Town Council direct
their clerk, or appoint committee to
communicate with proper persons to
ascertain the cost of the building of
cisterns, laying pipes, and the cost Of
a movable or stationary engine, or
anything that is necessary to the estab-
lishment of an efficient fire company.
4th. That as soon as the probable
cost Of fire department is ascertain
ed and published, the question of ap-
plying to the Legislature for leave to
levy special tax for said fire depart
ment be submitted to the taxpayers of
the town for their vote thereon.
NJ. FOOT, Chairman.
r. H. WRIGHT.
w. Il. TARRANT,
B. III. CLINE.
j. E. BROWN.
The report was considered by sec
tions and was adopted. The meeting
got cold, and nervous, and impatient
and adjourned almost without Il mo-
tion. 1t is supposed that the Council
will be ready to submit the matter to
the people at the election of a new
council on the 18th of April.
Nobody Was surprised that the vol
untary subscription movement failed;
and it is now believed that the fire de-
partment, ifit is ever organized, must be
paid for by levying special tax upon
all the taxable property OF the town.
The citizens are now looking in that
direction, but it is impossible to say
how far they will be able to gO-in the
absence of anything like enthusiasm
on the subject.

suspense and alarm. The moment the vi
bration ceased I rose, turned on the gas,
and found the time sixteen minutes be-
fore IL. / raised my window and looked
out. The sky was perfectly cloudless, and
nothing unusual IN its appearance, no
change in temperature, and in fact none Of
the startling phenomena which are often
reported as accompanying these convul-
slons. were perceptible. I returned to
bed, and between five and seven minutes
afterwards another but far less violent
shock followed. and at IN interval OF some
twelve or fifteen minutes more, third, OF
less violence than the first, but much more
than the second. In all the beginning was
a sound like a rising wind rapidly increas-
ing in force. and in all the conclusion was
like the dying OF fierce storm.
In all, the sound and movement seemed to
me to come distinctly from the east and
move towards the west, and In all the mo-
tion was an irregular shaking, not sway
ing to and fro-a circumstance which even
at the time struck me as singular, In view
OF the definite east and west direction
whichdhe earthquake appeared to follow.
l do not think | can better describe the
roaring that accompanied the vibration OF
the earth than by saying that it resem-
bled the sound OF chimney on fire.
But the whole was so unlike anything /
had ever witnessed or feft that l never
thought Of ascribing it to any other source
than an earthquake. Such a turmoil In the
atmosphere, such a tremor on the earth,
trembling OF the house so violent and
protracted, could have no other origin;
and / shared the alarm which may well be
entertained when the foundations Of the
Garth are felt to tremble.

THE vIRGrNIAs' BENEFIT GAME YESTERDAY.
Quite large crowd witnessed the game
yesterday afternoon at the Association
Park between the Virginias and the Man
chesters, and no doubt the beneiiciarics
realized handsome sum. As was expect
ed. the game itself was entirely one.sided.
but that did not appear TO make much diff
ference in the work OF the Virginlas.
There was no careless PLAYING on their
part, they seemingly appreciating the fact
that their friends were present in force, and
that they must acknowledge their kindness
by giving them the best enjoyment possible
under the circumstances. They PLAYED
an excellent game throughout, both at the
bat and in the field, making 90 runs and
giving their opponents nine goose-eggs."
These remarks, however, are not intended
In disparagement OF the Manchesters, who
lent their best efforts to make the game ell
joyable. Several OF them did some very
pretty playing, and had their work been
well assisted by the others the Virginias
would have had but very little to boast Of.
Up to the fifth inning they succeeded in
holding the Virginms down to three runs,
banking them twice. The home nine then
began to put In some eXtra-heavy work,
which seemed to so demoralize the Man.

nothing to check their opponents. Ap-

was fine speech, with the true Demo-

he could not forget the time in the days OF

that 10y linking them together they would
link them for our destruction. But Hen
