From an Early HlStory Of MasSachNsetts
The year 1888 (the same year that Harvard
college was founded) was memorable for q very
great earthquake throughout New England.
There was also another severe earthquake
nearly hundred years later, in 1927. and in
November, 1893, another great earthquake oc.
known in New England. Boston was dread.
fully shaken. It began about o'clock ia the
morning and continued nearly tour and one
nal! minutes. Great damage was done TO the
buildings. About 100 chimneys were levalled
with the roofs OF the houses. and about 1000
shattered and thrown down In part. The ends
Of nfteen brick buildings were thrown down az
lar as the caves, many clocks stopped, some old
springs ceased 70 now and new ones broke out
Ine tottering OF buildings was extremely fright
Ml. It was terrible night; the most 50, per-
haps, that New England ever saw.

A Dog Joins n EnIl Nine.

FROM the Mhwaukes ENening WISCONSIN,.
A sagacious coach dog has for some time

that are played by boys on the lake front on
fine evenings. The dog takes u stand behind
the catcher and with countenance ex pressive

emphasizes what he cannot speak, Watches ior

on his return he without solicitation drops at
the calcher's feet. Whenever the pitcher
passes bali the dog darts across 1.-The dia-

interest is depicted on the cOuntcnance OF tue
animal Whenever tile catcher gets up under the
bat ior close work. Ihen tue four-Iooted bail

He sat In one seat OF the railway coach, with
his knees outspread SO as to occupy the entire

It. Vain hope! The fellow In the seat didn't
care how many had to stand so long as he was
all right. Finally, the modest man tapped the

A Seatinet reporter learned yesterday that
quite mishap occurred to Mrs. McLane's mail
tricycle. and contents while making its last trip
to town over the E. and p. road from Palisade a
couple or three days ago. The tricycle. had
aboard quite heavy load Of mail, and three
men were employed in propelling it, When the
outht arrived near the summit u large herd of
cattle, number OF which were on the track,
was encountered. The tricycle. men slackened
speed SO as TO pass through the herd without
doing any damage. One immense bull would
not leave the track, and the men ran the vehi-
Gle up TO him and showed him along. This mad
dened the bovine, and with bis tail in the air
he turned suddenly around and attacked the
tricycle.. In doing SO his hoi MS became locked
IN a wheel Of the vehicle, and ne beloved and
became more furious than ever. The men and
mali were thrown from the tricycle., and it Was.
dragged from the track q distance Of over 300

one OF the men was severely cut about the face
and head by the lever of the tricycle. Striking

entire herd Of cattle to stampede and the in
JUred man says that for several moments an

air On ali sides. Judging from the manner in
which ne served the details of the story with
adJectiyes as he related it to this scribe after
the cloud OF dust passed away, the atmosphere
was an azure blue with blasphemous senti-
ments until the tricycle. was dragged back to
the track and ali necessary repairs made and
the mail bags gathered from among the sage
