A. Oakey Hall, has nobly proved himscif worthy of tne title prefixed to his name. Hence- forth it will be, for him, no empty, meaningless title, The hearts aa well asthe lips of tne citizens will speak whem they say, ‘His Honor the Mayor, God biess him,’? for to his wise and humane policy, his strict ruifiment of his duty as chief protector of the city, regardiess of any outside considerations, and to that alone, 18 due our aeliverance from what, but for nis timely intervention and protest, would have beeu, as the sad events of the 12th only too clearly prove, the most disgraceful, senseless and bloody riot that ever brought “battle, murder and sudden death” into our midst. Blinded by political passion and prejudice, or by false and fanatical ideas of liberty and patriotism, a great portion of the community 18 not yet able to see the truth in this matter and to accord this honor to our Mayor. So strange! Indeed, are they, So sadly 18 their reason unsettle d perverted that in the humane and herotc guardian of their peace, who, regardiess of the consequences to himself, which he could not fail clearly to foresee, aid what merited only their gratitude and respect, they see only @ coward, an chemy and a traitor! Blindness, strange and sad, indeed, with which let us not be unmerciiully severe, but, following Mayor Hall's own generous example, look upon rather in sorrow than in anger. Time works wonders. When it brings back to them tneir right minds, their own consciousness of error and sense of shame will be punishment severe enough. Let those members of the community who, having no part in politics, happily escape both the danger and the imputation of being so prejudiced, blinded and demoralized by the influence of party feeling as to be incapabie of seeing and judging rightly; tet the women of New York, who have such deed cause to be grateful to the Mayor, prove themseives, in deed aud in truth, the *‘vetter half” of the community by giving honor to whom honor 1s so richly due, and, a3 some atonement for the wrongs done nim by so many of his own sex, constitute themselves his feariess champions and defenders. An eloquent tribuse to their prowess on the 12th from the Fae pen of one of my own sex bas gilaadened the hearts of the brave policemen and found an echo in inany @ grateful citizen’s heart. Shalt the higher moral courage of the Mayor, who in his efforts to protect the city from the rioters su- jected hinself to wounds more painful than those of the flesh, go without public recognition and reward on the part of my sex? 1s the bicodiess triumph of nis single hard-working heart and brain over the prute force and savage propensities of thousands less Jorious, 1e3s to be honored than that achieved by he clubs of the policemen and the guns of the soldiery? Ah! no woman in whose heart the music of the “still small voice” ts not drowned by the “sound and fury” of faction or fanaticism can re- frain from joiming in the fervent prayer, “God bless the Mayor aud ail whom he holds dear,’ MARY FREEMAN GOLDBECK.

SCHOOLBOYS AS SOLDIERS, To tne Eprror or tas Hsraup:— Permit me to say @ few important words tn regard to our public schools in the metropolis, which are not equalled in any other city, m the man- ner in which they are governed. I would deem it necessary to speak of one of the many things wanting to tend to the amusement and physical exercise of the scholars of our different institutions of learning. It would not be a bad tdea if each school would organize itself into a “school regiment,’ on the same plan as our militia, and make tt a part of tneir duty to give public 2 pap and military drilis on the national holidays or on such days as the Board or Superintendent would see fit. Or else, ifa regiment from each school does not meet with approval, let the 800 or 900 students in the Coilege of the City of New York form themselves inW a body on the sane plan as the Boston School regiment, which igs cou of students In the High School of that city. Instead of interfering with the regular routine of study it would greatly relieve the monotony of school life, which 80 seldom is the case with every schoolboy. Therefore iet some of our wealthy cliizens come forward and sup- port this movement in the rignt direction, and let the “Boys of Khirty-five” start the pall a roving, and then we can see how our sons can muster in strength.

Three Distinct Vibratious Felt in Boston. Houses Shaken to Their Foundations—Con- sternation Among the Inhabitants, TAL WAVE AT EASTPORT, MAINE. A Regular Shake in Massuchusetta—Boston Alarmed—Three Wistinct Shocks Felt— Sevore Vibrations in Other Cities. Boston, July 20, 1871. The New England States have again been dis- turbed by an uamistakable and genuine earth- quake, The shock of last autumn was regarded as altogether an exceptional affair, but tn less than a year the Yankees have been disturbed in their slumbers by one of these unwelcome terrestrial commotions, The disturbance occurred about one o’clock this morning. It appears to have extended throngh Eastern Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. It was most severe in New Hampshire, where buildings were violently shaken, crockery thrown down, doors settled, bells rung and other abnormal demonstrations made, In different sec- tions of Boston the shock was distinctly felt, and thousands of persons were AWAKENED FROM A SOUND SLEEP. All accounts state that there was a decided and well marked jarring and quaking, sufictent to dis- tunguish it as an earthquake. In the Untted States Court House, State House and other large bulidings tne shock was particularly felt, Occurring at such @ part of the night it did not attract the attention which it otherwise would, Many attributed this Jarring sensation to a passing team or some other cause. A gentleman living on Mount Pleasant felt THREE DISTINCT SHOCKS. The first of which aroused himself and wife, she insisting that there was somebody else in the room, The shock was very perceptibly felt in all parts of Cambridge, a large number of persons being awakened by the same. A gentleman who resides on North avenue states that he was awake at the time, and his first impression was that some oue was trying to get into his room, but immediately afver the bed shook and the whole HOUSE TREMBLED VIOLENTLY, The Jar lasted about ten seconds. A Mr. Simon Algherla, who resides at the corner of Norfolk and Worcester streets, was awakened by the shock, and, believing the noise and jar to be occasioned by burglars, opened one of his chamber windows and shouted loudly for a policeman. Officers Copeland and Livingston soon appeared and searched the premises, but without finding a thief. They then informed Mr, Algheria of the shock, and he and his disturbed family once more retired to their rest, ap- parently mucn relieved, Two shocks were felt at Winter Hill, Somerville— the first being the strongest. Tuose who were awakened by it term tne second as being a ram- bling noise, hardly explainable from its queerness, The clock on the brick church on Highland avenue etruck one a few seconds after the last shock.

It was not like that experienced last year, @ regular sickening vioration, but a violent tremb- ling with a low moaning noise. Every structure in the city was shaken, but not one was much injured, because the motions, though vigorous, were simply terribly tremulous. People leaped from their beds and ran into the streets and in many instances utterly regariless of the sacrednees of drapery. Tne shock was also very distinctly felt by vessels in the har- bor, and in one bark & man in bis frignt jumped overboard. He was rescued. At Augusta, Bangor and other points the shock was of the same character—violeat, but not de- structive, by reason, perhaps, of its slight length in vibration. ‘ In Eastport the shock was felc more severely, and there was quite a Udal wave, but sttll no damage resulted, Saco, July 20, 1871.
