\ Scene OF Dcsolation.

A dispatch from st. Albans, Que,
says Samuel Gauthier, farmer of
st. Albans, his wife, their son, Joseph,
and David Gauthier, their brother,
were buried under a hundred feet of
earth by the terrible landslide of Fri
day last. Some say that Mrs. Gauthier
was seen going down in the st. Anne
river while trying TO save herself by
running away, but the velocity of the
moving earth was so great that she was
carried along by it.
"For miles there is nothing but desc
ation. Where the st. Anne river was
once nearly mile wide it is now only
a narrow stream. raging and surging
in vain attempt TO break its new
bounds. Woods, houses, cattle, all are
gone, and nothing is left but the barren
ground of uneven height for six miles
back. Here and there the debris of the
Inflated farm houses, granaries and
outhouses are seen in little heaps tan
gled up with uprooted trees and car
casses of dead cattle, but most of it has
been swept into the river and carried
long since into the ST. Lawrence and
thence towards the ocean.
''The shores ofthe river are Of pecu
liar formation, and rise hundred and
fifty feet above the level Of the water,
except for a mile or so, where the slide
occurred. Here for almost seven miles
back the earth now has a gentle
dechvity and is nearly level with
the river, whose bed has risen at least
sixty feet. What the scene must have
been Wen the earth began to move
en- be imagined The lower soil of the
river bank is composed of clay, honey
combed by the water that for years
back has filtered through from the
Laurantian mountains. 1t was five
o'clock in the evening when these clay
banks cavcd in, and with the hundreds
of tons Of sand on top, slid into the riv-
er The farmers were just preparing for
supper.
1.-THE noise was terrific, but was fol-
lowed by sudden calm, for the roar of
the falls had been smothere1 on the
crumbling earth. The ground, how
ever, kept vibrating as from an earth
quake, and the farmers for miles
around rushed out of their houses for
shelter, which they did not know where
to find After the first panic was some
what allayed they went back, but the
river had slowly risen. Snow and ice,
which are still plentiful here, helped to
strengthen its power. The water rose
for miles. 1t was fully one hundred
feet high when the earth began again
to move; first slowly, then faster, and
finally so fast that those who were fee
ing were thrown down. 1t is mira
Gle, indeed, no more human lives were
lost.
''The ground near the river sloughed
off first, and the house nearest was that
of the Gauthiers, who shared the fate of
the pulp mill sent down by the first
break in the shore.
Even to-day it is impossible to cross
the river, although an attempt was
made to repair the bridge at st. Albans
yesterday All the boats for miles and
miles along the river have been swept
away"
