"On Friday! evsning, the 1st of

ting near the residence of 8. G. Wat

and while traveling in the low lands
of Bailey's creek, he discovered a
human habitation in a hollow cypress.
The door, or entrance, was a small I
hole that had beetrHs4iskleP"'" unworthy, of notice,
the tree years ago, and was cut so
small that it .was impossible for a
man to get in it. Your correspondent-
visited the tree, and
could just get bis bead inside of
it. A small boy about teri-years old
crawled in and found a little fire place
of brick and twojoints of scovepipe
for a chimney. He also found several
gourds lulled with dead birds and
squirrels dressed nicely and salted
and in I good state of preservation!
The walls of this mysterious dwelling
place were papered with newspapers,
among which was" a copyi at the
weekly Mail and Express, N. Y.,
dated March 23. 1887. ! He had some
wee small bake pans, tin cups, A little

and descriptions more or less accu

time from Bavispe, a'town in the
Mexican state of Sonora. ,250 miles
southwest from El Paso, snowing that
the disturbance thereabouts was per
haps the most-serious of any.' Buti
no detailed statement from an eye

Deaver says : ' f T hr.' j,t-' '
"From May 3 to June, 25. when I
left Bavispe, there were at least three
hundred shocks. I' arrived ' at Ba

all points Jot the country ( south and

of Jthe town of Huacbinera, which is
thirty miles southeast of Bavispe. A
small mountain about seven hundred
feet high was split clean in two. and
one side . .thrown down, while the
other remains' standing: Fissures a
loot or so wide and hundreds of feet
long were opened np in great num
bers J1 through this region. .
, "The greatest disturbance seems to
have been along the great mineral
belt about six miles west I of Huachi
nera. The monntams west of Bavispe
have undergone a great change It
has been facetuonsly observed that
the mountains! had a 5 quadrille and

wa er has been increased by one-half.
The town of Bavisps may be said
to have been totally destroyed. 4 It
was the first shock ever known there.
Of the 8 0 inhabitants, thirty-eight
werekuied outnghV, tour-died soon
afterwards and about 160 were more
or less seriously - injured, making a
total of 200 persons, one-fourth of the
population killed, or injured. Previ
ous to the earthquake nearly every
building in town was constructed of
adobes or Mexican unburned bricks.
Since the shocks began, however, the
people have moved from the old town
site, and are building a new town on
a little table-land not far from the
old site, and they build nothing but
brush and picket houses, being afraid
to live in dwellings constructed of
heavy material. .-)
."The shocks continue almost daily.

; ;in l661,theRer. William Jack was,
with a number of other clergymen,
ejected from his living on account of
non-conformity. In 1730, the grand
son of this gentleman,! Patrick Jack,
landed in America and ' eventually
found his way to the Carolinaa And
accordtng to our reconls, fhe ' owned
in 1775 nearly the whole of the square
upon which the present ' courthouse
stands ; besides other town property.'
His own house stood about the centre
of the square, between the corner and
the courthouse, and was the hotel of
the village. -The eldest of Patrick
Jack's sons was James, the bearer. of
the Mecklenburg Declaration to Con r
gress. His. family I were all active
rebels, and when the ! British : army
reached Charlotte on the 26th of Sep
tember, 1780, , the , noble old patriot
was made an object , of savage ven
geance. He was taken from the bed
to which he was confined by age and
infirmity, ths feathers scattered " to
the. winds and the house set on fire
and burned down. .The excitement
and exposure hastened his deaths and
he only lived a few I months longer.
He is buried injthe cemetery back of
ths 1st Presbyterian church. A prom
inent citizen,; i who djed., sometime
afterwards, mads this dying request,
"Bury me beside Patrick Jack, for he
was the best man I ever knew !n No

ButCapt. James Jack the son, was
a moredistinguished figure in history
than his. father. . He. it was, who
traveled to Philadelphia to place in
the hands of the members, of Coa
gress from North" Carolina, Caswell
and Hooper, the Mecklenburg Decla
ration. 7 He was at that time thirty
six years of age. In 1819 he was stall
living, and made the following state
ment, at the request of Hon. UTait:
"Having seen in the newspapers
some pieces respecting the Declara
tion of Independence by the people of
Mecklenbui g county, in the State - of
North Carolina, in May, ,1775. and
being solicited to state what I kno
of that transaction, I would observe,
that for some time previous ,to, and
at the time those .resolutions were
agreed upon, I resided in the town
of Charlotte. Mecklenburg county.
was privy to a number ot meetings of
some of the most infiuential and lead
ing characters of the county on the
subject, before the final adoption of
the resolutions, and at the tune they
were adopted. Among those who
appeared to take the lead maybe
mentioned Hezekiah Alexander, who
generally acted as cha'm; John Mo

I was then solicited to be the bearer
of the 'proceeding to ' Congress. ; I

At the request of the court I handed
a copy of the resolutions to uou-jan-
pen, an attorney, and they were read
aloud in open court.' Maj. Wm. Da-
