Terrestrial Disturbances.

To the Editor of the Standard. to.—Some time ego 1 got yon to oblige m. by inserting > le* remarks on the several Inte very bed seuooe we bad been afflicted with, which began in March 1880. These ware followed by an extract from Professor Gunmar, of tbe United States, in which he gives his reasons fur this misfortune, viz., that lour large planets, J upiler, Baton, Uranus and Neptune, pass coineideotiy through perihelion periods, or periods when they are closest to tbe sun, and that this repeals itself every 1600 years. Another, called " an evil prophet.” named Delaunay, of Paris, whose speciality seems to be earthquakes, announced that in 1877 that year would conclude with violent disturbances of the earth. The people of South America can state tbe particulars, la 18*3 be pointed again to approaching earthquakes, and we know what took place in the Indian Arcbi. pelago, when many thousands lost their lives, and hundreds of square miles of land became submerged. He again raised bis voice, warning ns, and it need not be repeated what happened in Spain. More recent still he propbeaiel several volcanic disturbances in 1866, and that in this year these natural phenomena will be or a vest intense nmnii, and that this will take place when the earth is under direct influence of a planet of the first tank or under a group of asteroids, or at a time when tbe sun and moon are nearest to our planet at the same time. These things go to prove there must be some over ruling power whu foreshadows these coming events for our guiJ . ce. 1 am, Ac.,
