IL was distinct, continuous vibration,
like the jar produced in a stree. car
when stopped by the sudden applioa-
ton OF the brakes. The shock was 90
companied by q lov. rambling noise, /
not londer than would be caused by q /
heavy cart. The house was shaken and 4
the windows ratified. When attended |
ing and spoke OF the oce7rrence to the /
sexton, be exclaimed that be now under

Not thinking Of an earthquake, he bad /
wondered what shsok it was which he /
hsd observed while attending to the fur |
mace in the church. He said the build |
ing Was shaken. On converting with /
other pefsons whom I met at the churoh |
found that some had observed the |
shock distinctly. One lady was
awakened by 10. Undoubtedly the co. /
eurrence would have attracted much |
