Boston, March 11.—The r<j cent shocks of earthquake have directed attention •to previous seismic disturbances, and ■ more particularly those that have shaken jthe eastern United States and Canada, j The Indians had traditions of prehistoric j earthquakes; add the liat, which begins , soon. after the landing of -the Pilgrims is longer than is popularly supposed. Sev eral shocks are recorded in the early histories and anqals of the various sci entific and philosophical societies. The earthquake in June, 1638, was the first that occurred after the landing of the Pilgrims. It is said to have been preceded., by a rumbling noise like re mote thunder, growing .continually loud er and drawing nearer. Then the earth began to quake until the shock threw down the pewter from the shelves, toppled over stone walls, and shook off the tops of chimneys. In some places it was difficult for people to remain standing.- The course was from northwest to south east, and it was observed by the Indians beyond any of the English settlements. A second shock, not so strong, followed the first after an interval of half an hour. On Sunday, March 5, 1642, another very perceptible trembling of the earth was noted, but it did no damage. Again, on October 19, 1653, a little earthquake gave the divines of thnt day a theme for ponderous sermons, and in 1658 the earth again trembled. . ' In January, 1663, there was a series of shocks extending over a period of sev eral days. The disturbance, according, to a chronicler of the day, was preceded: by a great roaring noise, and the first shocks came abofa- seven o'clock in the (■veiling. The houses rocked violently, walls were cracked, and chimneys were toppled over. Men, women and chil dren ran out into the streets and open places. In eastern Canada the effects of this earthquake were even more se vere. In Quebec two hills were thrown down and formed a point of land which extended far cut into the St. Lawrence River. This earthquake extended to -New York and Pennsylvania. Then there were slight earthquake shocks lu 1665. 1668, 1670, 1705 and 1720. Near the end of October, 1727. came another memorable shock. Like its predecessors, this shock was heralded by a roaring noise. It was observed by tiiose who were abroad that as the shock passed under theip the surface 'of the earth perceptibly rose and then sank. This shock was felt from Pennsylvania so Maine. The place of greatest Vio lence appears to have been the town of Newburyport, at the mouth of the Merri mac River. There the earth opened and cast np a quantity of sand and ashes mixed with sulphur. On September 5. 1732, there was an earthquake shock of considerable extent, .though comparatively slight in its conse quences. It was strongest in Canada and northern New England, but was felt as far down the coast as Maryland. On February 6, 1737, and on December 7 of the same year slight shbeks were felt, FEEDS Dairy Feed * Chicken Feed Horse and Mule Feed Oats, Ship Stuff, Bran, Timothy Hay, Clover Hay, Meadow Hay, Shucks, and Straw.

I' : Some thought they heard, W>ong the ya-' i ried noises, the trpmpet of Gabriel sound i ing, and fell upon their knees and cried ■ out for mercy. Through the. whole prov ' ince of Massachusetts, walk and chim neys were shattered or cracked. Great alterations were observed in the spring i and ponds. In some the quality of the : water w'as changed; in others, the quan tity. Almost immediately after the - earthquake numbers of fish came to the surface of the ocean, dead or dying. : On the ocean the shock was so great that 1 persons on board a vessel seventy leagues i from Cape Ann thought they had run 1 aground or struck a rock. i VIRGINIA CONGRESSMAN d! !
