10 EARTHQUAKE Shocks Felt from Lake Erie to Atlantic Ocean. Its Course Along the Atlantic Seaboard. Reports from the Different ‘Towns and Cities. GENERAL ALARM OF THE INHABITANTS. ‘Scenes in New York and Boston. Shaking of Houses and Apprehen- sions of the People. State of the Weather Throughout the Country. Shocks of earthquake are of cemparatively com- mon occurrence on this Continent, in Mexico, ~@entral and South America, the West fodia Islands apd at various points on our Pacific coast, but we bave never seriously felt thetr effects here tn the East. While San Francisco hus her periodical shakes, some of them causing considerable destructien of property and Life, New York and other cities On the Allantic coast have hitherto generally enjoyed immunity in that respect, On several occa- sions Slight shocks have been experienced in some towns and cities of the Eascern States, but they have not been attended by any disas- trous consequences. ‘They have never been of a character to awaken any sexious apprehensions for the Suture in the minds of either our own citi- wens or those of adjacent States. Yesterday, how- ever, there were unmistakable manifestations of sublerranean convulsions in New York, New Eng- Jaud, and the British possessions on the north. Alb reports concur in showing that the phenome- Dou was similar and simultancons at all pomts. The shock was first felt at about & quarter past eleven in the morning, and was ac- companied by rumbling noises, the rocking of bulid- Ings and a gentie movement of the earth. ‘The area covered by this earthquake extends from Lake Erie to the AUanuc Ocean, Including ai} the region trom Cleveland, Ohio, down lakes Erie and Ontane and te river, St. Lawrence to Montrea), and from New York along the Atiantic coast to Bangor, Me., and perhaps still further north, fact,pi may be a bne drawn from Cleveland to New York, which places are almost on the same parallel of latitade; on the west by the waters of Lakes Erie ané Ontario and the river St. Lawr » and on the east by the Atiantic Ocean. & Siuilar but slighter shocks were felt im New York city and vicinity at about a quarter past ten o'clock on the aight of September §, 1848; In severa} localt- In garded as bounded en the south by | tes in northern New York, about half-past two on the morning of Mareh 18, 1863; agam, especially in Buffalo, at ten minutes past three In the afternoon, October 23, 1857, and in the New England States at half-past five in the morning, October 22, 1869. ‘This shock was felt a)l along tne Atlantic coast from New Brunswick to the farthest western section of New England, find ‘was more marked in the seaboard cities, The more Immediate precursor of the present earthquake was experienced in New York at a quarter to seven @’ clock June 25, 1870, and in Brookiyn about seven clock on the joilowing morning. But they were very sight compared with the remarkable phenome. non of yesterday. THE SHOCK IN NEW YORK CITY. In this peaceful section of the globe, where shock of contending hosts, the reverberation of mischiev- ous ordnance, or the wamp of charging squadrons do not now shake the nerves of the community, it in not @ matter of wonder that 80 many of our popula- ‘ion were more than ordinarily disturbed by the phenomenon of yesterday. Even thebravest hearts are troubied with sensations of Sear when aroused by the palpable threats of un unseen enemy, whose movements and designs are beyond human calcula- ton. ‘The unexpected shaking up which many of the denizens of New York and _ vicinity experienced yesterday forenoon was some- thing to chill the marrow in many a bone whose owner might not otherwise be very easily dismayed; and the members of that religious sect Who believe that the end of this worid is at band, and that all the riches of the earth are not wortha moments purchase, had an effective opportunity to indulge in a triumphant “1 TOLD You So!” Whether the demonstrations indulged in yesterday by the subterranean forces immediately beneatn us were merely the sympathetic indications of more aestructive upbeavings elsewhere, or whether they portend a direct and independent assault on this portion of the earth’s upper crust, Is a question whose solution must be left to the professional , Philosophers of the period. It can only be said that the results were very mild—for an eartuquake. The politica! elements have often created a greater ‘‘stir’”” in the community, and have generally been }eas sncreiful to the hopes and prospects of our citwwens, All yesterday morning the wind blew. directly from the southeast, end at the hour of nine o'clock A. M. the thermometer rested at sixty-four degrees, It rained heavily during the forenoon, throughout the entire day, and ateleven A. M. the barometer fei! to twenty-niue degrees. About a quarter past eleven the effects of the earthquake were felt 1p the city, and though a circle drawn around the onter peints affected would cover the entire Metropolitan district, nly certain spots here and there were Visiply disturbed. A gentleman while sitting in his room in Kast broadway, about twenty minutes past eleven clock, felt a strong vibratory motion,Jand op ieok- ing to see what caused it he .was very much dis- comited when he saw a table in the room very un- steady on its legs, and evidently having a dance all %© iweb, -All the small articles that were rest- ing upon it seemed to be suddenly possessed of an- ,Amatvion. His astonishment graduated into alarm ‘when he feitgbe Noor trembling underneath his feet. He inquired of a gentieman near to him the cause of it, aad he replied that he suppased IT MUST BE AN FARTAQUAKE. “All tho inmates of the house were questioned, and they related similar experiences, aud were unani- mous fa supposing It to be an eardqnake.

Mr. Samuel Stone, of 107 Chatham street, states yebat at aquarter past eleven A. M., while xeveral ‘persons were ecated in a room at a table, mey were Ageverely shocked” by the earthquake; the tanle spoved before them; the doors rocked, and Ris friends @s,f they were on board a vessel far out af sea.

One gentleman states that the quake just tried to stir the sabstantial brown stone edifices on Mul Aull and tach gave it up as a bad job, but the shock was feit in the Re- vere House, Grand Central ana other tall buildings in that part of the city.

Aitogether, and as the “last sensation,” the earthquake was a decided success. VHE BAKTNQUAKE AT 114 EAST BROADWAY. The shock was felt very severely in (he ueighbor- hoed of Chatham square. At 1i4 East Broadway the whole bouse shook and beaved almost like a vessel op the water, A HeKALD reporter interviewed several of the residents Of this house, and elicited the following intormation conceraiwg their experience of ihe earthquake. This house 1s situated on the west side of East Broudway, two doors from the corner of rike street, and is but almost entirely of red bricks. dt is @ tour story Rouse, op one side of which 18 an eid, Girty-looking shanty reaching up only to about the second floor, wille on the ouber side tt is sepa- rated from Pike street by two larger houses, put similar to 11 in construction. It will ve seen, there- fore, that one side of tis bouse was Comparatively unsupported, There were three families in the house at the time of the earthquake, ali of whom Jeit the shock and were greatly terrified by it, The first son interviewed Was Thomas Collier, Who rents tbe fourth foor 0! the house, and resides there with tus wife aad a friend, Ip repiy to the tnguiries made he stated (hat he was in the iront room on the fourth Moor at about twenty minutes past cleven o'clock yesterday morning, standing near a table, in © versalion With his wife, when he was TUBROWN SUDDENLY FORWARD against the table and experienced a tremendous shock, a8 thongh from an electric battery. His wiie Was thrown vioiently against the wall, apd fel) be- heath the Window Which overiouss East Broadway. On turning his eyes behind him he saw that the wail of Ue room Was cracked considerabiy, and that a looking glass Which hung against the wall at tie buck pari of (ne room was IN BAPID MOTION AND OSCILLATING like tho peadulum of a ciock. He fell forward ayainat the tabiv, a8 he could not stand up, 80 much ui TE HOUBE PITCHED FORWARD. Reroarsn—How was the tabie standing im the room Cou.LiER—K is a table nine feet long and three feet wide, and stood across the room, with tbe nar- row parts running east and west.

See ee ate inference do you draw from aty CoLLigR—Why, I maintains that the earthquake come from along Chatuam square and rua right through East Broad way—tiat is to say, 1t come from the south first and then travelied up town, siook our house almost to pieces and went northwards. REPORTER—What ieeling did you experience at the moment? COLLIEB—\t Was just like the woving of a ship atsea, Tne house “hove to” and went buck again, and shook lor about fifteen seconds. After | came to myself @ little I said “Good God | He HOUSK 18 ABOUT TO FALL! Let us get up and gi at once; aud therenpon 1 caught hold of my wile, pusiied her on to tie stairs, and tuen rushea down on w the sidewaik in ihe street. There 1 see the house sul shaking to aud fro. My wife was so frightened that when she got half way down the stairs she was “‘iixed,” and could move bo further. ‘She house must have LEANED FORWARD QUITE 1WO 5 and it reminded me of an iuiwense mass of “jin rubver,” as 1 witnessed it twisting backwards aud forwards, The only damage she house received, as far as | now know, was the crack in the wail showed you. ‘The next person Interviewed was FRLIX M’MANUS, WHO LODGES WITH COLLIER, and occupies a room in the rear of the fourth tvor. He stated that at the time the sheck occurred ue was lying on his bed, reading a New York HekALv, and when the roiling of the Bouse Was felt by Dun he said he thought 1t was Collier, who was Troquently tu the habit of joking with him and playing “‘larks,? beneath his bed; but mmimediaiely afterward he heard Collier shout out that the house was falling, and for God’s sake (o rush down stairs, and, said McManus, | Jumped up, and felt like a drunken man when I attempved to reach the staircase. KerorteR—Hew long before you were cailed did You fee! the shock? MoManus--I felt it more than six seconds before he cried out to me. and then it seemed to me ke when I have taken a drop too much, aud THAT PROULIAK ROUKING Teeling is experienced, so that you feel to be rocking while you are lying quite still; bat in this case 1 seemed to be falling to the north side of tue city.

THR TAILOR THROWN OFF Hi3 BENCH. A tailor was sitting at work on the frst Noor of tab house, and wheu the Kock caine he said his tabje, apon which be sat, was thrown guite on one sid&®pnd made nin hastily leave it.

In the buse- ment thee 18 a Lquor store, and on mnaking tnguiry there the reporter found that the man who wae in atvendance at che time did not perceive any ynove- Inent im the.bouse, but he heard A LOW, WOMBLING SOUND, and at the same ime heard a number of the botties aud giasses rattle ardtnd the bar, and it seemed as wough something had fallen against one end of them and sent Wie Whole forward. This wae ali he knew about it. Frou tye youve manner m-Whick ali these peo- ple related these incidents, the only conclusion that can be arrived at ts that this house was shaken from its very foundation, and that there is no room for doubting the facts in reterence to it.

A num were sitting at 0) dows at the time tt oveurred, and at this time a war- sloop in the harbor firea @ salute, but nothing was known or Cxpertenoe ‘on the west side in regard to the earthquake, THE SHOCK It 18 a rather alngular fact that at the hour when the earth was trembling and shaking the foundations of houses in the upper part of Brooklyn no mutterings of the dread visitor were heard in that portion of the city which is built on low ground, At half-past eleven o'clock the citizens residing on the Heights experienced a shaking, which, though not very severe, was extremely unpleasant, One of THE RESIDENTS ON TH HEIGHTS, Dr. Robert Speir, of Montagne street, near Clin- ton, made the followng statement of his experience to @ reporter yesterday evening:—‘While I was sitting in the parlor of my residence about half- past eleven o’clock this forenoon there appeared to be some strange force moving under the chair I was occupying, a surt of swaying from east to west, cre- ating a sensation such ag one feels just as se3-sick- ness is coming on, 1 was greatly astonished, for at the same moment a large oll painting that rested against the wall over the mantel swung forward an inch or two, its canvas vibrating as if a little struck from behind. And simultaneously with these mo- tions @ vacant rocking chair—a large, heavily up- holstered piece of furniture—rocked gently back and forth, and the globes of the chandellers shook slightly. 1 immediately exclaimed ‘THAT'S AN BARTHQUAKE | and sprang to my feet. Two ladies, who were sitting on a sofa In the back parlor, experienced the same swaying movement o! their seat that J had with the chair, and came to the end of the room where 1. was, feeling 1 immediately went to and looked up to old Trinity to see if that Was all right, as | was apprehensive for the conse- quences vo us if it should come down. My brother witnessed some of unis strange phenomena, and the servants up stairs were greaily frightened. They came running into the bi saying that their chairs were moving under them, and the pendants to some Jamps on the mantel pieces shook until they jingled. Une of the servants picked up from the floor some cartes de visite that had been standing on the mantel before the ghock.”’ in Second place the shock was severely felt, A gentieman living in the neighborhood states that when the shock was first relt nis wife was sicting at @ sewing machine, and thought herself about to famt, believing, as did many others, that the trouble was the result of personal indieposition. Some other ladies in his house were badly trightenod, and a@ sewing girl was thrown into hysterical weeping, from which she had not entirely recovered at the Ume of his deparcure from Lome, He went at once into the adjoining residence, and found that similar movements had been teit there. Be was tmpressed with the belief that his own and the adjoing HOUSES WERE GIVING WAY under the weight of a heavy krench roof recently bailt upon them, and to verify this he made further ingatries. While doing so he founda that in about thirty other houses at which he and others calied events hud occurred similar wo those at bis own residence. THE SHOCK IN WILLIAM BURG, Manifestations of the earthqnake, lasting for several seconds, were experienced im Wilhameburg at about twenty-five minutes past cleven yesterday forenoon, preceded by a momentary darkness. The shock was most sensibly felt in the large building Broadway and First street, by the occupants of the upper stories, the walls of which trembled to such an extent that the occupants ran into the street, ‘Three persous who were in the building at the time say thai tuey were all overcome with a feeling of nausea when they first feli the shock, and this feel- ing was experienced by others some distance off, Mr, Joseph A. Adams, the well known New York artist, states that he FELT THE SENSATION at his residence in South Second street, near Fourth, atthe same time. In First street, near North Sec- ond, the pavement opposite the residence of Mr. Ben- jamin Johoson sank several inches at the same Ume, and still further northward, on the same live, a horse gank into the earth nearly six mches and water spirtea up from the cavity thus made. The earthquake was the subject of earnest discussion during the afternoon and evening. TRE SHOCK THROUGHOUT THE STATE. ALBANY, N.

Houses were shaken, and to such an extent as to set In motion all suspended ob- jects. It was, of conrse, more perceptible in the upper stories of the houses, and in many instances the motion was felt in the lower and even in the basement stories, Tne children and teachers in several of tbe schools were quite alarmed, and there wasa rush from some of them to escape trom the tottering buildings. Persons engaged on fine work, like engraving and drawing, found themselves com- pelled to suspend their operations for a minute or two, In some houses the tinware was made to ratile, aud everywhere chandeliers vibrated alarmingly. ‘The motion was most perceptible on the hills, wnere the shock was so distinct that 1t was supposed there had been a heavy explosion in the neighborhood. Many in their terror ran out of their houses. We have heard of no damage to buildings. The following note 1s written by Professor Hough, of Dudicy-Observatory:— The shock of an earthquake was feit here at fif- teen minutes past cleven A. M., October 26, and lasted about one minute. The wails of the building had a very marked vibration, open doors were made to vibrate, objects hanging on the walls were put in osculation, und even fables and chairs on the ground floor hgd a sensivie tremor. At the time of the shock a rumbling noise was heard, the clock pendulums swinging north and south were made to vibrate cast and west, snowing that the earthquake passed tian eastward direction.

Boston, Oct. 20, 1870. Boston, as well as the rest of New Engiand and the Canadas and Provinces, has been wonderfully shaken up this forenoon by a genuine earthquake. It occurred at precisely twenty-six minutes past eleven, At first the shocks were unaccountable, and people were surprised at the nnwonted tremor which s¢ized upon everything animate and inani- mate. Before the vibravions accompanying the first shock, which were from east to west and lasted perlaps ten seconds, had ceased, however, the conviction wok possexsion of the minds of all that an earthquake with its giant strength was shaking them up and threatening appalling destruction of iife and property. The mo- ons were quite sharp and distinct, and in many cases created quite a disturbance among heavy vor- table articles in houses. Immediately the nature of the visitation was yealized there was a rush into the streets from stores, oMces and dwellings, in some places the scenes thus presented being quite ani- mated and curious, Merchants without hats and clerks without coats; grave bank presidents and omicers of life insurance com) ; men with behine their @nd men without coats or hal pale and panic stricken; ladies out shopping an shop girls; even corner huxters and apple wamen, all shared in the general panic. To pe- destriana the shocks were more perceptible than to these indoors. These tell wonderful stories of cradle; and the wonder 1s, alter hearing counts, that some of the tall buildings in thelr ir- regular rocks! did not hit their heads together and smash ‘htogs. ut they didn’t—quite. The first snock, a8 a ly stated, about ten seconds, the lateral motion of the earth being from east to west. This was followed by two other shocks, with @ motion from norvh to south, and being nearly ten seconds jn duration and very clearly defined, The houses along. CONGRESS STKEET were fearfully shaken, but wonderfully preserved. Some parties on the street aver that some of the buildings seemed on the point of falling to pieces. ON QOURT STREET, among other sensations, twe gentlemen in the upper part of No, 11 gem were econ one sitting upon The sate became quite lively with the motion and actually threw the sitter off From large buildings in the vicinity of Court square there was a generai exodus. Scoilay’s Building was badly shaken, and folks ran out pellmell. The higher the building the more they felt it. The upper stories of Sears’ Building were especially favored and quickly emptied of their contents, A gentieman in the eld Staie House dia not perceive it, probably be- cause, haviag been erécted a century ago or more, it is pretty solid and weli volted togethes, Ju the up- per stories of THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE, in Court square, the movement assamed the form of a steady vibration, the building being of such great height,” Some reporters were 1n the Superior Cuart, where the dressmaking cuse i being tricd be fore Judge Reed. They accused eaca other of shak- ing the table, and then resumed thelr writiog, The shaking continuing, they looked at each otner’s | legs under the table very suspiciously, and again turned their attention to their pencils, ‘ihe vibra- tion nut yet ceasing they made a third investiga. tion, when one reisarked, “it 1s an eartiquake.” Simultaneonsly all the people in court rose io their feet and some twenty or thirty jeft the room. Peopie went out also frem other conrts in the edifice. The vibration in the Superior Court room iasted fuil sixty seconds, and felt. precisely as ii some one was sitting against the table and violently shaking their Knees. It did not seem to be divided into distipct shocks, provaply the height and make of the edifice naving the effect of spritgs. AT THE QUSTOM HOUSE the motion was distinctly felt, and caused quite a stir among Uncle Sam's Veterans there assembled, One of these, who had olten faced the bullets of we Joeman, ‘did not want any earthquake in his,’’ aud without waiting to shake out the reefs in bis sals cud out of the building and across the street “under bare poles.” Some, however, were not badly pan- icked by Ube eartiquake, which they characterize as “no great shakes” aiter all. FULTON STREET, A gentleman, who was in the second story of Mac- Avoy’s iron and steel store on Fuiton street, felt shocks distinctly trom north to south, and Bays Laat the tron and steel rods, &c., im the racks on the lower floor rattied perceptibly. \ AT THE JAIL. ‘The shock felt at the Suffolk county jail, on Charles street, is said to have been quite severe, and pro- duced an alarming sensation on the inmates, The keeper of the institution judged that the walis swayed at ieast three’ inches. ‘Ihe severity of the shock maniested itself plainly iu some of the cells, where there had been tin dippers of water placed. In one or two instances the contents of the dippers ‘were displaced, to the astonishment and alarm of thowe 1n duress. MERCHANTS’ ROW. Ofmicer Keaseltruth, whose beat 16 at the corner of State, ielt no motion, the passing carts probabiy hid- ing it, but he was astonished at finding people rush- ing out of several tall buildings close at hand. In the edifice occupied by Messrs. Pierce & Buchanan, fruit dealers, 11 Merchants’ row, one of the ancieut edifices of Boston, an old time store, the shaking up stairs was violent. The granite coping over the door was shaken an mech from its position, aud crowds have been examining it since. The free- stone coping was slightly pulled, but the cracks are not new. IN STATE STREET BLOCK the earthquake made things rattle and shake in such a manner as to create intense alarm among the tn- mates in the manufactories in the upper stories of the bu Iding, who rushed out tn the wildest confu- sion and alarm, So frightened were some of the girls that even alter the shocks had subsided they could hardly be induced to return to their work- rooms, even though bareheaded and lightly clad, and the ram falling quite {rely ai the time. THE PANIC AMONG THE WORKING GIRLS in nearly every part of the city was something lively, if not ludicrous. Those ip the establishment of Messrs, Macuilar, Williams & Parker at the first intimation of danger rushed wildly into the street, and, hke their sisters elsewhere—being thoroughly frightened—were not easy to reassure, and: tor some ume remained outside in the rain, re- fusing to venture inte the budding again. In the estabiishment of Messrs. Ihomes & Talbot, No. 63 Congress street, the shocks were so sensibly felt that presses were tnrown out of gear and stopped. The girls in the upper portion of the buliding stopped work and gathered in a group, pale with appreten- sion and alarm. The steam pipes shook and rattled, and in some places were nearly disjointed by the mo- tion, but no material damage was done. In the building adjoining, Which 18 @ new one, the motion cracked the wail and broke cap stones im several places, IN WATER STREET. The large building between Water sireet and Spring lane, fronting on Water street, is flied with hundreds of operatives—printers, electrotypers, &c.—and many of them are girls, They felt the shock very distinctly and so forcibly that it caused them to rusb cown stairs as if the budding was on fire. They were all most thoroughly frightened, and it was with dimiculty that they could be persuaded to go back to their work. TOPPLING OF CHIMNEYS. We hear that the shock made considerable havoc with tail and slender chimneys tn various parts of the city. Four chimneys on Young’s Hotel were toppled over, and at the West End, anu at East Boston, severai chimneys were quietiy removed by the mysterious vibrations. Jn the Public Library building the shocks were so severe as to crack the walls In the upper story and loosen the plastering so that some pieces fell trom the ceiling on to the floor. In the cigar store, 91 Washington street, about five hundred boxes of cigars were shook off tue shelves, in some instances breaking ihe boxes apd spilling their contents, QUINCY MARKET, The shock was probably considerably felt on all made land. Quincy Market, which occupies ;the site of @ former dock, felt it well. A member of the firm of Frost & Dyer, large dealers, at the entrance, Was sitting against bis marble slab, when it shook 80 that he turned and took hold Of it, not knowing at the instant what was afoot. The stories that meat was shaken off hooks, that some people cir- Culate, are fabrications. MARKBT NATIONAL BANK. Many panes of glass have probably been cracked, but in Merchants’ row, where people were examin- Ing Witn interest, balfa dozen large cracked panes in the side of the Market Nationa) Bank, our re- reporter went in and inquired of the gentlemanly cashier, and was informed that those panes of glass had been cracked for a year. The same was the case at W. E. Coftin’s, State street, BEARS) BUILDING. The shock was most strongly felt in the upper stories of high buildings. 1n Sears’ Buliding, oppo- site the head of State street, the chandeliers were seen to sway back and forth, while the wails vi- brated and the counters in the various oitices shook with a strong motion, causing quite an excitement among the occupants, who were suddenly moved with & desire to get into tne street. AY THE STUDIO BUILDING, on Tremont street, the shock was felt quite severely by the occupants of various roems at twenty-four mingles past cleven, and jasied for about five seconds. Mr. Milett and his brother in one of the rooms state that the walls of the room moved appar- ently three Inches out of position ana a lounge upon Which ont of them was lying was rolied several Inches upon the castors. Bells were rung, and in one or two instances articles were thrown from tavles to the fluor, Tho contents of a glass of water standing upon a tabie Was throwa Out by whe jar upon the floor.

In the composing room the gas fixtures sus pended from the roof oscillated from south to north and the whole room trembied very seusibly. shock was felt thi hout the Whole buildt The sensation cansed by it was @ sudden dizzi- ness. We have seen several persons who describe it im that way; others say it was like scasickness, a? PANBULL BALI. ‘The oscillation was felt in Fanuetl Hall, and there were not wanting people in the vicinity ready to take Oath that the fagsi: jwayed from side to side like ayendalum. Lu crowds soon ered in the vicinity, gazing intently ward, bul whut they saw that was wrong or out of the usual course our re- porter was unable to divine. Mr. Hastings, tee editor. the Chr (tan, sends - r ol iat ny ua the following account of the phenomenon, a8 ex- perienced by him:— 1 was standing in my office, im the third story of we rear a build: in of the ollie, pore y the ryeinns grinding re ag and an bee sald:. ~ at are /eney: Going dows statre thas shakes thie 1 stepped to the windows, and all the window weights, which hung in the casings out of sight and reach, were swinging and beating in the casements Uke #0 many peudujuins, Persons in the attic saw Piles of boxes vibrate back and forward; a - ter’s stand, at which @ compositor was wo! swung to and fro tn an east and heavy table in another room was forth tll it provoked ingulry, and the suggestion that “the spirits” must be about; one perme com- of dizziness, and we all conclt that we experienced an earthquake shock, ‘We itad a slunilar shock early one morning, @ little more than a year ago, and the readers of the Journal may remember @ long and able article last autumn concerning the great earthquakes of 1727 and 1755, Last year’s shock was followed b; on peeee floods and storms.

The occupants of St. Charles Market buliding, cor- ner of Lincoin and Beach streets, which is under- going the process of raising and repalring, were oe, alarmed aud ieft the premises mstantly, but @ gentleman who was riding past atthe moment dia not feel the shock.

In the large manuiactyring establishments the heavy ma- chinery was vioienily affected, and in some instances had to be stopped, the operatives being at first at loss to acca count for K aenoes and he ie of he og of the same, A gentle! he ottice of the ton and Albany Ralroad. # ite Taree 10 AoW granite warehouse on Grand Jun gion wharf, says that the shock was first noticed by thovements— rocking aud rolling ah ere nt This was takep as & hint tg mae tht In the earthquake Une was ‘up’ and thé place ungale, and a new loca- on was sought, DURATION OF THE SHOCK, ‘There are various accounts as to the direction and duration of the shocks; but, as to the direcuon, we can find no evidence to convince us that our state- ment in regard thereto 1s not substantially correct. As to the duration accounts vary about ten seconds, some affirming tne shocks to have lasted twenty seconds, while others say thirty. We are inclined to adnere io the thirty seconds statement, A SHOCK THIS MORNING, ‘There are not wanting those who apprehend a repetition of this phenomenon, and some who state tha: shocks were felt at about seven o'clock this aoe but there is not much faith in these fan- cles. BUNKER HILL MONUMENT—OVER IN CHARLESTOWN. When the fact of an earthquake had been realized there was great anxiety and consternation about its effect upon that tall, gray shaft on Bunker Hill, which has steod forso many years asa proud em- blem of the valor of the Yankees of a past genera- tion. In spite of the pelting rain hundreds gathered in the vicinity to see if the eld monument had ac- tually tumbled, a rumor to this effect having gained early and general circulation, The fears of such a disaster, however, were not realized; the huge temple was intact, and all efforis to discover @ breach in its masonry were in vain. The eflect of the shock wes experienced on the hill thongh, and the superintendent of the grounds, whose effice ts directly at the base of the monu- ment, suspected an earthquake at once and rushed frantically out of his shelter to escape the possibly falling granite, At the Navy Yard there was the utmost con- fasion. The shock was felt in all the shops, and the workmen roshed out indiscrimtnately, leaving the machinery alitn motion. Courage super: eded fear, however, soon after, and the men finally recarned to their duties. A ship which was on the stocks un- dergoing repairs was shaken so violently for ment that a premature launch seemed inevitable, and the laborers employed on her tumbled headiong over each other in making their escape from the threatened danger. The shock was also perceptibly felton voard the receiving ship Ohio, ‘which lay Some distance out in the stream, and the waters were so turbulent for a moment that some of the old tars who had seen much service declared that there had been an explosion of some torpedoes beneath the surface of the priny deep. A similar feeling was experienced on board other vessels in the harbor, and also on the Cheisea and East Boston ferryboats. EAST CAMBRIDGE, At East Cambridge the earthquake was felt slightiy and caused some alarm in certain cases. Tlie work- men of the New England Giass Works were aston- ished at the universal rattling of glass, as it seemed, by unseen hands, Almost at the same instant the walls beganfio shiver and an apparent sswaying mo- tion was perceptible in the floor. Tne workmen de serted the building temporarily, but, finding no se- rious effects w follow the shock, soon resumed their work. ‘The shock was not suilicient to throw down or break the glass, Orticer Ben- son Was sitting in the police station and was starded m @ similar way by the slight trembiing of the pullding and the spentaneous opening of doors. The phenomenon of spiritual rappings was at first sug- gested to his mind, and he did not know but that he was about to have a first class test, It then occurred to him there might be some one up stairs, but on in- vestigation he found no oné Then noticing that the clock had stopped at cwenty'minutes past eleven, he settied down to the conclusion that the disturber was an interloper by underground railroad from South America, or, in other words an earthquake, IN MALDEN. The shock was very much felt in Malden, and caused great excitement. Tre children in the school house took fright and rashed precipitately down the stairway into the street, to the imminent danger to life and limb. One little boy in the crowd was found Injured quite seriously in the back. He was carried to his home. A large wooden buliding occupied by Mr. Bailey was shaken in @ manner to create the greatest alarm, the frame timbers working so as to cause 8 creaking noise, In some of the houses the door bells were rung and dishes rattled in the pantries. One jady hearing the unusual noise caught up her chiid and rap fur the open street, Similar scenes ‘were witnessed in different parts of the town, FORMER EARTHQUAKES IN BOSTON. A book published in 1786 notes the following earthquakes in this vicinity:— On the 18th of November, 1755, there was @ great earthquake at about four o’clock in the morning.
