An Earthquake in Fngland-Joliny Bull
Shaken up.

Shaken up.
At $50 o'clock On Tuesday morning
last an earthquake shock of considerable
force was felt in tue eastern counties Of
England. Localities in Essex and Suf-
folk were the scenes of greatest distur-
bance At Ipswich, the capital of Suf
fox county, the shock was SO severe that
the walls of the houses were perceptibly
shaken \ mansion was shattered and
the depot was partly destroyed. The
people have been thrown into such
state of CONSERVATION that business is
for the time suspended. The shock was
still more severe at Colchester, in Essex.
The concession lasted half a minute. and
the damage amounts to 10000.
The first symptom was a deep rumb-
ling sound, portentous and awe-inspiring.
This was speedily followed by quaking
and shaking of all the buildings. The
church bells sounded as though swayed
by unseen hands. The tall chimney
stacks factories crashed in ruins to the
earth, and ether lofty structures were
destroyed. The spire of one of the
largest churches in the city-l50 feet in
heisht-fell with an awful crash to the
ground. In one part OF the city fire was
caused by the shock. 1t is impossible
to estimate the amount of the damage,
but it is known to be great
In London there were numerous indi-
cations of the proximity of the earth
quake. The telegraph instruments were
shaken, and the shock was distinctly
felt in Cheapside and Fleet street
At Colchester child was killed and a
weman's skull was fractured. The
woman is in precarious condition.
| There were many narrow escapes. The
| fine old Parish Church at Langenhoe
was demolished, and the place looks as
! if it had been bombarded. An invalid
| at Wivenhoe died from terror. The
damage at Wivenhoe alone is a, 600.
At Coggeshall humber of school girls
rushed panic stricken into the streets,
and many of them were crushed.

his own incapacity to take the office, and
there would be nothing but IA laugh,

the end OF the campaign we should be

Guile the old cipher dispatches and fifty
more scandals would be ingeniously

on the other hand we get up this feeling

are we to come next? We shall all be at
