The doctor was always foihd of whiskey, but it was never believed that he had any especial weakness to wards strychnine, and it is not known how he happened to swallow it. The belief is that he waa poisoned bv one o his apprentices. iA correspondent writes us from Seven Springs : "There was a severe shock of an earthquake here at about 10 o'clock Tuesday! night. Doors sprang open, window glass and crockery-ware was greatly disturbed. In some instances clocks were stopped. People greatly alarmed. There were four distinct shocks, lasting in all about 15 minutes. Chickens were thrown off the roosts. Above was ac companied by a rumbling noise from the West. Vibration from West to East.

Houses Rocked and the People Frightened. To say that there was an earthauake Tuesday night is news to no one. It is a tact known to all and the unDre- cedented and awe-striking experiences of the occurrence have made an im pression that will endure as long as unimpaired memory clings to the lives of those who went through it and were old enough to realize the dreadful sol emnity and terrible apprehensions of the hour. At ten minutes to ten o'clock our attention was arrested suddenly by a peculiar noise, similar to the rumbliner of a train or an approaching wind, and yet unlike these, or any other sound that we ever heard. Finding that a dead calm prevailed in the at mosphere we were seized with the fear that subterranean tremblings were upon us a fear that became a reality in a moment or two after the first intimation of the convulsion. The earth began to shake slightly at first, but in a few seconds there was a severe oscillating quiver, that caused windows and doors to rattle, and the buildings to sway to and fro, striking terror to the hearts of thousands. Men , women and children rushed into the streets, and stood not upon the order of their going. Some who had not gone to bed were dressed, while others were bare-foot and in their night clothes. None knew what more terri ble would occur with the coming mo ment. Many realized how utterly trail and powerless is man and that it is God alone who has the power to stay the threatenings of such convulsions. To Him let thanksgivings ascend that no lives in our community were lost from this frightful quaking of the earth. In ten or fifteen minutes after the first a second shock occurred, which was less severe and of shorter dura tion, and in about the same length of time after the second a third, but very slight, shock took place. It is said that there were other slight shocks about 1 o'clock and 4 o'clock. There is quite a diversity of opinion as to the duration of the first convul sion, the estimates ranging from forty- six seconds to three minutes. Under such circumstances it is yery difficult to measure time with accuracy, but in our judgment it was about two min utes from the beginning of the pecu liar, roaring sound to the end of the shock. Of course, it seemed a great deal longer. Nothing has ever thrown our city into such a state of consternation. Strong men, who have faced the dan gers of war with fearless demeanor, trembled for th9 safety of themselves and dear ones. Women and children's tears freely flowed under the weight of nervous fright. Supplications for protection to the Ruler of the Universe went up from many hearts. Some were frantic and yet there were a number who displayed wonderful com posure under the trying circumstances. The colored people were particularly demonstrative, many of them, doubt less, believing that the end of time had come. Meetings were going on in three of their churches and the scene's enacted therein by the fren zied attendants are beyond descrip tion. Some jumped from the galler ies to the first floor in their eagerness to escape from the building. During the first shock the bell of the Primitive Baptist church rang several strokes. The new tower of the Episcopal church was split four or five feet from the top on the East and West sides and a quantity of brick will have to be taken out and replaced in order to re pair the damage. The workmen would not resume work Wednesday morning. They had heard that another quake was expected at o o'clock. We learn that one or two chimneys in the Northern part of the city were shaken down. Some, who weie asleep at the com mencement of the shock, awoke with the idea that robbers were breaking into or had broken into the house. Some fired pistols to frighten the sup nosed burerlars awav. It seems that earthquake shocks are not altogether new in thiscountry. It is said thit they were felt in the years 1825, 1837, 1847, 1852, 1872, 1881 and 1884. It is certain that none at all comparable in severity with that of Tuesday night, was ever experienced in this section of the continent. Only five or six of the inmates of the colored insane asylum seemed to realize the situation. The most of them were indifferent to the trembling of the large building. The greater portion of the attendants, how ever, were thoroughly, panic-stricken and it required the continued efforts of the officers to quiet them and per suade them to retire to the building after the worst was over. At the Asylum loud cries for help were heard, which were found to pro ceed from a cabin about a half mile distant. At the approach of the in vestigating party, a colored man was seen standing in his door, with gun in hand declaring that robbers had tried to shake his house down. It took some time to convince him of the real cause for his alarm. Just how wide-spread was the earth quake has not been definitely ascer tained, but it is known that it extended as far North as New York and as far West as Chicago. Many rumors ore afloat as to the force of the . shock at Charleston , S. C, and gave apprehensions are felt concerning our sister city. Tele fraphid communication is cut off and efinite information cannot be obtain--ed. We hope, however to be able to secure reliable details r before .closing our columns. 1 v v: . . rA very slight shock , was felt in this city at 5:15 p'clock yesterday (Wed- nesaay; aiternoon. : Readers, this is onr first exnftriniA at reporting an earthquake and we ao smcereiy trust mat-: we may not be afforded the opportunity qf im proving by practice.

State A'orvial, Winston, I am very much pleased with "Harrington's Speller," and have adopted it in our school at High Point. I have never believed in con" I books, but shall use Harper's.

I have carefully oxam!nod Harrington's Graded Spelling-book," and am much pleased , with it. IU adoption by our public schools would aid very much in doing away with tho foolish though time-honored custom of teach ing spelling orally, which prevails among so many of them. HUGH MORSOV, Raleigh, N. C. After a careful examination I havo Intrc jduced Into my classes "Harrington's Graded 8peller"and "Harper's Graded Copy-books," and am very much pleasod with them. I re gard the speller as greatly superior to ar y book or tho kind I have yet seen. I havo also examined "Swinton's Language Series," and am so much pleased with It that I Bhall Intro duce it as soon as practicable. M. J. Goldsmith, I'enmanand Consulting Ac countant, Atlanta, Ga. I havo carefully examined "Harper's New Graded Copy-books," and find them very prac tical as regards the character of the copies and grading. They come nearer my Ideal of publio school requirements than any other books with which I am acquainted, and I take pleas ure in recommending them. Terms For Introduction. I. The Price In Column I.
