THE north Atlantic coast was shak-
en- up few minutes after two o'clock
on Sunday by an earthquake. The
shake extended from Baltimore to Port
land, Maine. The center of the distur-
bance seems to have been in the vicinity
of Coney Island. The shocks lasted for
about minute, the most severe pertur-
batlons occurring during the first five
seconds. Old chimneys fell, windows
ratified, bells rang, chandeliers tinkled,
and the earth rumbled, but no damage
of any material sort appears to have
been wrought. But it was great scare
and the streets of the cities of the sea-
board were soon filled with panic-strck-
en- multitude that breathlessly awaited
calamity. Ships in the harbors were
shaken as by the discharge of broad
side, and the sensations on land within
buildings were decidedly uncomfortable,
as every house appeared to be lettering
on it's foundation. A second shock was
perceptible about ten in the evening and
another the next morning in some places
in New England. But they were very
slight. We may now expect shocks at
other points, perhaps on the Pacific
coast. Earthquakes usually come in
groups, with short intervals of time and
long intervals in distance. -Journal.

IT has been asserted that as soon as
Lieutenant Greedy RECEIVERS from his
present indisposition he will deliver a
series of lectures on Arctic discoveries.
1t will be conceded that the asplrants
for fame on the lecture platform have
been more numerous in past years than
the patience or pockets of our people
have been willing to tolerate, but we
believe the lectures of Greedy will be
well attended, and if so, they may be
productive Of much good. 1t is posi-
bic that with recital of all the horrors
attendant upon cruise in the direction
of the North Pole a sentiment may be
aroused in opposition to further expe-
ditions, and thereby many valuable lives
be saved together with much money.
Lieutenant Greely's experience itself if
related would contain argument enough
to shut off further enterprise. By all
means let us have his lectures.

A NOTICEABLE feature of the cam
paign within the last ten days has been
its entire relief from the democratic
charge that the Germans as body are
leaving the republican ranks. This
charge has been proved fictitious one
early in the fight 1t has run it's course,
and a view of the entire field will show
that the German element is just about
where it always has been politically
There may have been few who have
been lured away by foolish cry, but
the great mass of German voters are too
intelligent to be drawn away from their
former political affiliations without suffi-
cient reason. The same sentiments which
have induced so many of our Irish citi-
zens to look to the republican party for
protection have helped to retain the Ger
mans in the rank. They believe in the
ability of the republican party to pro-
tcct American citizens abroad, they be-
lieve in the republican theory of protec
ton to home industries as against the
the ruinous democratic free trade theory,
and more than all they believe that the
prosperity and enormous growth of all
industries for the past twenty-five years
are good enough reasons why the repub-
lican party should be retained in power.

WINTER FEEDING OF UATTLE.

A Farmers Estimate OF the Profit Ia IL.
Thomas Baker, au intelligent farmer of
the lower end Of this county, writes to the
Germantown Telegraph as follows
Owing to tho great quantity OF hay,
straw and all kinds Of cattle provender,
and also to tho unusually heavy crop of
Indian corn that was raised the present
season, the farmers Of Lancaster county
have more largely than ever purchased
both cattle aud sheep for winter feeding
and at higher prices than usual-bigher
indeed than they have ever paid, unless it
may have been one or two seasons after
the close ot the war.
On farms where scarcely anything but
small beef was iattened for family use
before, steers have been purchased at five
cents per pound in order TO try their first
experiment at fetteniug cattle for the
spring markets. IL remains to be seen
what may be their success in realizing
profit. IL they are not economical, care
iul feeders, do not take care both of the
condition and stomach of the animal, the
presumption is he will make nothing.
Certainly their hay, straw, fodder AID
grain will be turned into homemade ma
nure--the best for tho land that is made,
but this will sum up the profit from pres.
ept appearances.
DuppOslDR u hltcT weighing l,VJO pOunua
live weight during tho month of Novem
Der, is bought at five cents, and by the
first of April, five months off yet, he has
gained 800 pounds, and then will weigh
1900 pounds, and if beef should command
at that time but five cents, as it often
does, hc would only have the prof. on the
added weight, or SIS or il beef should bt
worth six cents, then bis profit would be
$2S for each steer and il by his superior
skill and management In feed
ing, and good Judgment in buy
ing, he should have thus gained
400 pounds per head, then at six cents he
would selStnem for SS4 per head, and his
gain would be s34 on each one---alIowing
nothing for capital invested or labor done.
Hence, it is apparent that while stock
cattle are so high and approach 81 nearly
to the price they will bring when fat, there
can be no profit in winter feeding unless
the farmer is an extra good feeder, an
extra judge of stock, and makes good bar
gains whom he buys and sells.
The question now especially comes up,
can Eastern farmers make as much by
raising stock at what they are now com
PEELED 10 give as they eau by buying West
ern stock raised TO fatteu A Western twc-
year old il thrifty and in good condition
for the stables, will weigh from 800
TO 1000 pounds. and in Eastern Penn
sylvania will sell for five cents or more
thus they will bring from $40 to $50 pei
head 1t thus seems that there is more
profit To the Western stock Iaisers than L
the Eastern stock feeder, after all the cos
OF transportation and the profits of tn
middIeman are taken into consideration.
