Dear Sir: On Wednesday, the tth instant, about half-past eleven o’ciock a. m., an expld- sive noise was heard in this vielnity, accompa- nied with a jarring motion of either the air or earth, sufficient to gf “ in \ plag od ‘The day was ver, sky was clear, or only Ae Here and there with » dash of ¢hin clouds, and the wind was blowing a strong breeze from a point a little north of west. The general impression made wpon the minds of those who beard the concussion at first was that the chimueys had blown off their houses and were rambling on the roofs. Everybody had an im. pression of the kind mentioned, or else that some heavy article had fallen in the house, and almost universally the people ran out of doors to see what had happened, when, seeing their neighbors out also,’ it was soon unders that the noise was general, ard not confined to their own domicils! Some persons claimed that they felt peroeptibiy an undulatory motion of the earth, and of their houscs: others describe only the jarring motion similar to that occasioned by the ‘dis tf heavy piece of artillery near at h: ose who heard the explosion of the great "Daylight Meteor” of November 15, 145, say this noise was unlike that, being of shorter duration, ap- pearing nearer at hand, and of a more violentiy explesive character. No flash of light preceded or accompanied the explosion, so far as I can learn. The noise was not heard nor the jarring felt outside of a radius of six or seven miles trom this plate, that I can hear. At West creek, three miles northeast, it seems to have been heard and felt with about the same degree of violence as here. Elsewhere, so tar as heard from, the effect was less violent, until seven or eight miles distant we have no account of it. No account ot it has been received from Long Beach, six miles distant to the southeastward of ths place, against which the Atlantic ocean beats, nor do we know whether any unusual motion was observed in the sea. ‘There is great doubt with us whether this was the shock of an earthquake or a meteor falling cleee in our vicinity. ‘Nothing in the neighbor- hood like buildings or factories, to explode, whieh would begin to make so much jarrin, noise. Its cause must be looked for in the tiel: of nature. Can you help us to a solution? Yours, with great respect, Prof. Jos. Henry. Smithsonian ington, D. C. P. 8.—Monpay, March 11, 1872 —A low, rum- bling noise like distant thunder was heard about an hour, (or something over,) after the exp'o- sive noise. This 1 distinctly heard myself, sit- ting in my house. The first great noise I did not hear. being about four miles from home, driv- inj t Institution, Wash- along the frozen road in my carriage.’ Yes. morning, Sunday, 1 it 10 o'clock, and at twenty minutes past 10, similar explosive sounds were heard, not so loud and great as the nose on begr aapeomy os I heard one of these sounds, viz: the one happening 20 minntes atter 10, and as the sky was overcast with clonds, and it was raining moderately at the time, I suppos- ed it was thunder in the northwest, trom what I supposed would be a Conn ae shower; but others maintain, quite intelligent people also, that the sounds heard on Sunday morning were similar to the sounds heard on Wednesday, but not so loud. The sound was not exactly like thunder, but resembled the discharge of a can- com saya mile distant, being sudden and ex- lonive. ¥ The first great noise is described as loud as it @ cannon was discharged within a few hundred ards. The duration of the first noise on ‘ednesday was, as near as Ecan gather, about two seconds long, eigen more; the low rum- ble which I heard with others, about two seconds; the explosions on Sunday morning, = hat shorter—one second, or one and a alt. ‘These things surprise us here. The sea is too far for artillery from passing ships to. be heard #0 plainly. {f the sounds on Sunday morning were thunder, it is s that two discharges of electricity so very lar in sound should take place within twenty minutes of each other, and no more be heard. ‘There is no cannon in our neighborhood that we are aware of; the only old anywhere about being spiked. ‘at can these things be? Yours, with respect, Tar Wasuixcton Treaty iN PAarita- MENT AGAIN—Our British Cousins Still on the Anricus Bench—In the English House of Com mons last night, Mr. Gladstone, answering Mr. Disracli’s inquiry, stated that the a, of the American government to Earl Granville’s note concerning the Alabama claims was received by her Majesty's government on the 1ith inst fe was gratitied to be able to state that it was couched in courteous and friendly terms. [Cheers.] ‘« Our views,” he continued, “are not adopted. Hence, in the opinion of the govern- ment, an answer is required, which the govern- ment of the United States appears to invite. This answer will be delivered to the American Minister in London before Thursday of the present week. It would be inconsistent with yublic business to lay the correspondence before ‘arliament at present, particularly as the Con- gress of the United States has declined i of the President. The tenor of our communi- cation, while it shows that we are anxious to srk the treaty into execution, will, I trast, not fail In the sense of the state and nature of the case which the honor of the coantry demands.”” The statement of the Premier was received with loud cheers. Granville, in the House of Lords, made areply the same. To the inquiry of Earl insu Malmsbury concerning the ndence, he assured ‘thelr Lordships he was aware of the public anxiety on the subject, and the grave re- fire ing to the government in aling with it.
