Still Shaking.

Still Shaking.
We arc now receiving the natural followings
Of the great earthquake shock Of August 81.
Almost daily we feel slight disturbances in the
earth, and occasionally these disturbances are
felt so very scnsibly that nervous persons be-
come alarmed, apprehending recurrence Of
the August shock. From the past history of
violent earthquakes as well as from the pub
lishsi scientific investigations Of the recent
one, we may safely say there is no cause for
alarm. Similar tremors to those VIC are now
feeling have always followed great shocks, and
we must expect TO feel them for some time yet
They forebode no danger, but as soon as the
earth settles into position again, all will be as
quiet as before the terrible shaking Of August
81.
Monday evening, at o'clock, and again at
10 o o'clock that night, two shocks were dis
tinctly felt here, and since then We have felt,
almost continually slight trsmors Of the earth.
