the accompanying vibration, was felt here.
Reports show that the shock was felt at
nearly all points in line near the coast,
extending from Maine to Maryland. 1t
does not appear to haye reach far inte the
interior. In Pennsylvania the shock was
felt in more or less degree in nearly all the
territory east Of Susquehanna. West Of the
river it was less distinctly not ed. and there
is no evidence Of any disturbances whatever
west of the Allegheny Mountains. 1t ap

felt IN Pennsylvania, other Middle States
and in New England a number Of times
beinre. N" serious damage has ever been
done by them, however. Sundays shock
naturally created much excitement and
tlmid people were greatly alarmed BIT
