abandonment Of a claim is seldom con-
sidered unless the entryman is proven
to have been of the land for sl1
months. The time allowed for estab
fishing residence on Homestead
Entries is admitted by Stayner &
simmons, to be SIX months from settle
ment. though residence commenced al
time of settlement is preferable to that
at a subsequent date. and We submit the
following decision OF Mr.. Joslyn. given
February I'd, 1855. which DEGREES unto
presumption settlers the same priv
leges on entries as homesteads.
These latter words, .';he homestead laws, -
were intended by Congress 10 be used in a
generic sense. and 20 protect all vested
rights that interviewed prior TO the applica-
ton OF the homestead eutryman 70 purchase.
and hence would include an intervening
right acquired under the presumption a.
well as the homestead laws.
The above covers the minor error
supposed TO have been discovered BY
the gentlemen in our answer to the in
quiries of your reporters, the balance
OF their letter merely reitera:es our
statements with more verbiage.

Another Shake at Charleston That Causes
Excitement.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 6.-During the
earthquake shocks which occurred here
yesterday at 1926 o'clock all the public
schools were in session. At the most of
the white schools the scholars stood tho
shock pretty we'll, but at several Of the
colored schools quite panic took place.
At the Bethel Church colored school during
the rush which was made for the doors,
three children were thrown down and
trampled upon and little girl who jumped
out of the window was seriously injured.
In another of the cOlOred schools several
more of the scholars were injured by fall
ing plastering, none of the injured, how
ever. being fatally hurt. The disturbance
yesterday was very severe at Summer
willie, and was sharply felt throughout the
State. Late telegraphic advices state that
it was felt as far south as Savannah. At
Savannah there was considerable excite
ment and one of two of the public schools
narrowly escaped panic. In this city no
serious damage is reported beyond crack
ing of few brick walls and the tumbling
down of few chimneys. Yesterdays shock
is varlously estimated from IS to As seconds
in duration. Direction of wave was from
south to north, and the motion was a
compound character, up and down, and from
side to side. Although there has been no
interruption to business in consequence of
the disturbance, there is manifested very
general feeling of nervousness, much more
so than was the case during shocks of two
weeks ago. No further shocks up to $3.50
p. m. Fears were felt of rise in the sea
level on account Of the shock coming ap-
parently from the ocean, which have been
SO far without realization.

EcKvILLE, Pa, Nov. 5.-An exciting
time was had down at Lambeth's lime-kilns
near here Tuesday. A number of farmers
knew that there were two men, strangers
in the place, operating among young
women of the neighborhood, frequenting the
gatherings of Sunday schools, and ingra-
tiating themselves among the young single
women, and the farmers determined to drive
them out of the neiehborhood. The elder
of the two, Brother Ettig, as he was called.
was seen emerging from Gray's meadow
with young Lena Eckleberger, whom he
was inducing to join Mormon colony.
Ettig was seized and dragged to the
lime sheds and rolled in q bin of white
lime dust and started on run through the
woods. Basing, the other suspected party,
was also seized and ducked in creek and
cOwhded and started through the woods in
the direction Ettig had taken. It appears
that there was concerted plan, according
to which a number of deluded young
women should all be ready to start West
on a given day to join Mormon settle
ment At least dozen young women
have had their heads turned by all sorts of
promises made by these fellows, and for a
time it was difficult to secure hired female
help in that region.

The municipal authorities of Berlin
come time ago caused to be compiled
an elaborate work referring to the
HYGIENE and Medical Institution of
Berlin. Copies were circulated among
the members of the Congress of Scien-
fists recently held in that city and a
copy was sent to Prince Bismarck at
Varzin. The Chancellor, in reply.
thanked the municipality for the gift,
but bluntly told them he would not
read it because it was printed in Roman
characters. The editors, who included
Prot. Virchow, had SO printed the work
for the convenience of foreign readers.
IT is remembered that Prince Bismarck
once denounced the authorities of Ber-
lin IS Radical ring" and this prob
ably is the reason for the snub which he
has now given them.

FAILING to get hold of Stewart, who
tccently stole two thousand dollars from
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany at Wichita, Kan, and fled to
Canada, the company has commenced
suit against him in the Winnipeg
,ourts under the Dominion statute,
which provides that any one bringing
any stolen property, or property OBJ
tanned by fraud, into Canada shall be
subject to the same punishment as if
the stealing had taken place in Canada.
The prosecution will be required to
prove that he had in his possession the
whole or part of the money actually
stolen. The case is attracting consid-
cradle interest, and the result may lead
to other prosecutions under the same
statute in which extradition has failed.
