Causes the In- habitants Alarm, The other afternoon Baptist Hill, On- tario county, N. Y., is reported to have been visited by a seismic or valeanic upheaval which has frightened the farmers so thoroughly that they have ceased harvesting. A tregiendous report was heard at that hour, the earth rocked and houses came tumbling down in all parts of the village. Many people were dazed by the terrific concussion and a cloud of dust obscured the sky for several minutes. The store of William H. Doyle, the principal business place in the ‘hamlet, was torn off its founda- tions and completely wrecked, Another account states that froma clear sky there came a flash of light- ning, which was immediately followed by darkness and a distinet smell of sul- phur. Simultaneously with the flash W. H. Doyle’s store and Dr. Hick’s house were wrecked and the windows of the Universalist church shattered. With the flash there was a rush of air, almost cyclonic. Scores of people were knocked down and left insensible, and they describe the shock as if some- thing had fallen on them. Holes were burned in the clothing of several. It is believed by some that a meteor fell in the vicinity of the village.
