The 1ruo Theory Of Earthquakes Dis

''N'''' ~ ssbN's
A letter, of which the following is q
true copy, was received at the Geo.
logical Survey last Saturday from u
correspondent in the South, whose
theory as to the causes of earthquakes
has at least the merit of being novel
and original. The letter bore the fol.

MANY have sent to you their observa-
tions In regard recent earthquake shock at
Charleston and various places, which arc
not very satisfactory to you. / know how
these theories are, for lived on the Pacific
coast ten years, and last year lived there,
there were at least one hundred and fifty
shocks. There were all kinds OF theories
advanced in regard to their causes which
was not satisfactory to me. Therefore
commenced to investigate the cause aud
watch the effect produced. And / soon
settled 1t in my own mind, the true cause.
AS the earth is alway given off large
amount OF gas to support animal, vegetable
life, she is liable to become surchargcd aud

she rushes in to equilize the component

WHO the THIEF Was.

Mr. Nathaniel Brewer, the feed-dealer,
at 652 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, on
the 4th inst. reported to the police that o
shot-bag, containing $35 in silver, had been
stolen from his Office. The police have
been puzzled by the case and could not find
the first trace Of the lost money. Mr..
Brewer now reports that he has recovered
his money In rather novel way. He states
thatl be was In the habit OF leaving a
package OF food for his female dog In the
Office, and forgot to do so on the night his
money was lost. The dog found the bag
of money and carried II off to her pups,
thinking, probably, that 1t was the usual
package OF food. This morning she brought
back the bag and contents.

The canvassers for subscriptions to
stock OF the Savannah, Dublin and West

good success in the towns and counties
along the proposed line.
MIR. I. f. Johnson, the treasurer of the
company, has received thus far subscrip-

hear from. Savannah subscribed about
$25, 900, while the small town Of Dublin
took $4,000. The City Council of
Cochran subscribed $4,000 tor the
city. One of the directors OF the
road wrote that he approached a wealthy
citizen Of one OF the interior counties and
asked him to take one or two thousand
dollars worth of stock. The gentleman
volunteered to subscribe $150,000 out was
persuaded to take less and let some one
else have chance.
The construction company agreed to
commence work when the railway cOmpa-
ny should get $500, 900 in stock taken. Mr..
johnson says that the company is not
having any trouble in raising the required
amount, and he does not think that the
construction company will wait uutil the
rest is subscribed but VIII go ahead at
once. All OF the stock is subscribed with
the agreement that no part OF 1t is TO be
paid until the road is completed and trains
are running.
