'lliey -.-omo just like a thunderbolt,- and the houses and ground shake ter ribly. M’e will never forget the one on Saturday. Everyone collapsed. M'oim-n and children screamed with fright, and some could not stand up. People were airaid to go to bed tor two nights, as the '.■-■hakes’ occurred every few minutes, and chimneys v.'e.'e flying 'all roads.’ The new post office is badly shaken, and the school is not sale for llie ciiiltiren t-o be in. Animals were terrified. Fowls ran for shelter, and horses, bolted. Additional services were in Id in the churches, and peopli were to be seen praying m the streets.'
