The Principal Topic of Conversation In the
City. Yesterday.
The earthquake of Tuesday evening
formed the principal topic of conversation
about town yesterday, and many amusing
incidents were related by citizens of their
experiences during the shock. The news
from Charleston, s. c., was eagerly sought
for and the REGISTER bulletins were anx-
iously scanned all day by crowds Of inter-
ested people. The REGISTER issued neat
little extra at , p. IN, con-
tanning all the latest news from
Charleston and other points, where the
damage was greatest, and they sold very
rapidly. RumOrs of coming quakes were
spread all over the city and kept the timid
portion of the population in a very uneasy
frame of mind However, rs there have
been no subsequent shocks, we may feel
comparatively easy.
