The New York Commercial Advertiser publishes the following extract from a letter received in New York,: Waterford, N. Y. August 13. AVe had a slight shock of an earthquake on Thursday morning, the 11th instant. First there was a heavy explosion; then a low rumbling noise, accompanied by a peculiar trembling of the ground, which shook the house all over, and then a second explosion, much fainter than the first. We had just sat down to breakfast at the time; the shock was sufficient to rattle the dishes. Buildiugs on very slight foundations were shaken smartly. At Schagticoke the shock made the windows rattle, as also in Troy. Some say it was a meteor which exploded over the town of Grafton, but this I could not be, as the shock was observed over a large section with about equal intensity. It was (as violent at iSchod-ick, twenty four miles south, i as at Bennington, thirty miles north of this place. The report was also heard at Saratoga. Neither a meteor nor a thunder clap would have been heard over a region so extensive with such equal intensity, and neither of these shake buildings to any appreciable degree. Early Frost. Ice was formed at Somerset, Pa., on one night last week, and clothes hung out to dry were frozen stiff. The frost was very heavy and did much damage. An Entire Family Burned to Death. The Money, Pa., Luminary, of August 23d, says: We have the particulars of a most terrible calami ty which occurred near Bed Bluff, on the Sacra mento Iiiver, California, on the 12th of May last. The residence of Col. E. A. Stevenson, late In dian Agent, was set on fire by an Indian boy in his employ, early in the morning, and the eutire family ot Col. Stevenson, consisting of his wife and three children, together with the wife of Mr Kronk, and two children, perished in the flames. The boy was instigated to the deed by five Indians, in the absence of Col. Stevenson. Atrocious Murder. A correspondent of the Wilmington Journal, writing from Conwayboro', S. C, under date of August 10, says: "I am pained to inform you of a horrible and atrocious murder which occurred on ;r about the 19th of July last, in the upper part oi this district. Coroner Long on the reception of the sad tidings summoned a jury and proceeded to the spot for an investigation of the matter. The facts as de veloped before the jury were these: That one Enoch Stevens had given to his daughter and son-in-law, (one Sam Taylor, said to be from Onslow county in N. C,) a certain tract of land, and had refused to make a title to Taylor because he (Tay lor) wished to sell the tract to another person. This ended in a dispute on the Kith of July, and on Monday night about 12 o'clock Taylor ac companied by one Huggins, from Marion district, proceeded to" Stevens' house, armed with guns and knives, and after a parley in the yard broke into the house, and meeting Mrs Stevens first they at tacked her, cutting several severe gashes on her forehead with a knife, and otherwise bruising her person severely; one gash in the region of the tem poral artery nearly proving fatal. They then at tacked Mr Stevens, (who, be it known to their shame was over 70 years of age,) and dragged him into the yard and horribly mangled his body. Mr Stevens lived thirteen days and expired ; he how ever recognized his son-in-law Taylor and Huggins, and accordingly made a dying declaration before Magistrate Lewis. The Coroner issued his warrant of arrest, but these savages have not been captured yet. A Large Cotton Stalk. The Mobile Register of the 10th says : The most proliffic stalk of cotton we have ever seen was left at this oflice. It was cut off about fourteen inches from the ground, is s-even feet high, and contained, when first cut, 38 bolls and squares. It is from Bed Bluff, Miss , and is but a sample of the general growth of a large tract. In its transportation hither by railroad, a good many bolls and squares were knocked off. 500 head oj Beef Cottle, 500 head of Sheep.

Joly 2, 1959 QUITE A RO MAIS TIC AFFAIR. The traveler who has been fortut ate enough to sit beside an unknown beauty in a railway car riage, and had his conversational powers brought into play by her sociability, can comprehend the bliss of a good-looking bachelor, whose car adven ture we are about to relate : This worthy gentleman was a passenger on the Central R. road on Monday last and happened to be in a car that was pretty well stocked with humani ty. He had mauaged to retain a scat from the commencement of the journey, until the traiu reached a stopping place, where a fresh supply of travelers entered it, when he gallantly surrender ed it to an old lady, and made up his mind to stand awhile. Now it happened that a young and stylish lady noticed the act and so pleased was she to see an old woman treated politely, that she at once removed her carpet bag from the end of the seat she occupied, and invited the gentleman to take its place. Nothing loth, our hero accepted the modest invitation, and was soon engaged in a friendly conversation with the belle of the train. They ehatted in lively style until "the shades of night were falling fast" when the lady's utterance grew slower, then indistinct, thcu altogether ceased, for she was asleep. Not being disposed to follow her example, the gentleman amused himself by watching his fellow passengers, and was reminded of his companion's presence by her head touching his shoulder. Morpheus had her completely in her folds, and by a scries of graceful nods she unconsciously sought the support of her railway acquaintance. The bachelor was delighted with the first gen tle touch, but his pleasure, when in the sweet abandonment of sleep, her form nestled down until its whole weight rested on him, baffles de scription. The better to support his lovely bur den, he placed his arm around her waist and then "ave himself up to the delirium of the moment. Alter passing the next station, a gentleman en tered the car conta ning the persons above referred to, and commenced examining the face of each oc cupant as though he was iu search of some friend. In the darkness of the hour he passed the sleeper and her supporter without noticing them, and it was only when he turned to retrace his steps that the scene attracted his attention. In a moment the shade of anxiety on his fea tures was succeeded by a frown, and he stepped quickly to the side of the fair sleeper. As his baud descended heavily upon her should er, she started, opened her eyes and sprang to her feet "blushing celestial rosy red." Before the bachelor could speak, the new comer politely in formed him that he would take care of his own wife, if he had no objections, and straightway led the lady to another seat. The explanation that ensued unfolded the fact that the young lady had been on a visit for some time, and was returning to the faithful husband, whose impa'.ience led him to meet her half way. Eager to meet her he entered the car only to find her asleep in the arms of a stranger! Of course the stranger told how it happened ; but the frown did nut pas away from the brow of the husband until they left the car. Ladies should be careful how they fall asleep on the wrong vest pattern. EXCITEMENT IN MINNESOTA. A mob in Y right county, Minnesota, having hung Oscar F. Jackson after he had been tried for a heinous offence and acquitted, and then rescued a man who had been arrested for participating in the lynching, Governor Sibley issued a proclamation, calling out the military to restore order in the county, which was declared to be in a state of insurrection, and several companies proceeded at once to the "seat of war." They report that they scoured the county over and had arrested several parties said to have been participants in the murder of Jacksou. They also report that the people were greatly exasperated, and wherever they went they found the houses closed up and no one to receive them. The sheriff of the county and others offered that, if the troops were withdrawn, they would arrest and deliver up all the criminals within forty-eight hours. This proposition seems to have been acceded to, with the understanding that if the criminals were not given up as promised, MM troops will be marched out in detachments ill over the county to endeavor to arrest them. This is the most vigorous demonstration against lynch law that has recently come under our observa tion. . "It's what You Spend." "It's what thee'll stwuuI mv son." said an a:cd old Quaker, "not what the'll make, which will decide whether time's to be rich or not." This was only Franklin's ad vice in another form : "Take care of the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves." A cotemporary remarks: "Men are continually in dulging in small expenses, saying to themselves that it is only a trifle, yet forgettiug that the ag gregate is serious, that even the sea-shore is made up of petty grains of sand. Teu cents a day, even, is thirty-six and a half dollars a year, and that is the interest on a capital of six hundred dollars. "The man tbat saves ten cents a day oniy is so much richer than him who does not, as if he own ed a life estate iu a house worth six hundred dol lars. Every sixteen years ten cents a day becomes six hundred dollars; and if iuvc.-ted quarterly, does not take half that time. But ten cents a day is child's play, some will exclaim. Well, then, John Jacob Astor used to say when a man, who wishes to be rich, has saved ten thousand dollars, he has won half the battle. Not that Astor thought ten thousand dollars much. But he knew that, in making such a sum, a man acquired habits of prudent economy, which would constantly keep him advancing in wealth. How many, howerer, spend teu thousand in a few years iu extra ex penses, and when, on looking back, caunot tell, as they say, 'where the moneywent to.' To save is the golden rule to get rich. To squander, even in small sums, is the first step to the poor-house." An Evidence of Hard Times. One night f last week the corner-stone of the Lutheran Church, on Beaver Creek, in this county, was removed, j and the coin deposited therein at the time of the I erection of the building, amounting to ninety cent-, ' stolen. This is about the meanest theft that we 1 have ever been called upon to record, and gives indubitable evidence of hard times or great rascality I somewhere. Ilagerscille (3Id.) Herald. THE BEST BUSINESS. This is evidently a very questionable age fcr idleness. There are many idlers, it is true, but the world around them is in such a whirl of anxiety, industry and enterprise, they feel ashamed of in dolence and would do something, if perchance, tomcthing would come to them. We never see man who has nothing to do and who does not in tend to do anything, but he looks as if he felt meanly. The activity and bustle around him, will drive him into privacy, unless ho determine to go to work. Now we believe there is no necessity for any one being idle in this country; yet many are idle not so much from choice as from a supposed neces sity. Some men are so doggedly stubborn and inconsiderate, as to refuse to work at all, unless they can follow a particular vocation or get their price. They ignore totally the old coin c km sense proverb, "a half loaf is better than no bread," and hence they become loafers, rather than engage in an undesirable vocation, or work for small wages. But men of sense will work for$l when they can't get 92, or work at anything that will bring iu an honest dollar, rather shan lie idle. Young men always want to get into the "best business," by which they mean a business whore there is little hard work. It must be respectable say they, and pay, with little work. With such views most young men ignorantly go in to be merchants. Nine-tenths of the respectable young men of our towns, who have not the education, means or talent for studying a profession, want to be merchants. They say, "if I can't bo anything else, I can be a merchant;" whereas the facte show that there arc few callings which roquire more talent, industry, close attention and hard work, in order to succeed, than that of a merchant. It is probable that four-fifths of the merchants of the country, from this very cause, are not qualified to make merchants; hence at least four out of every five fail iu business, or succeed poorly. Now there is a business, a highly respectablo vocation in this country, at which we have never known an industrious, honest man to fail. It is a laborious business it is true, but it is the most re spectable, honest vocation in the land. We mean the profession oi farming. We call that the best business because it is the most certain, the most honest, the most independent of all occupations, and because it opens a field for the exercise of every talent, temper and position of mankind. There is no danger of having too many farmers. Would that the number were fourfold. If oue half the young merchants, lawyers, doctors and mechanics of the land, and all the loafers, were to become farmers what a country we should have! Try it, young men, and take our word for it, you will never regret it. Wash. (JY. C.) JJisjiateh. teitV Major Andrew Jackson l)onehon died recently in Louisiana. He was formerly the private Secretary of President Jackson. In 185G he was the know-nothing candidate tor Vice President. Disorder in Louisiana. Vigilance commit tees have been formed in scvcrel parishes in lia., and the Governor has issued a proclamation or dering them to disband. The District Attorney has also issued an address calling upon the people to rally in support of the laws. A igilancc com mittee has also been formed in Napoleon, ( Ark.) distant a few miles from the Louisiana State line. What exigencies of public affairs should render such proceedings necessary does not clearly ap pear, except as indicated in the following para graph: "The Vigilance Committee of Napoleon (Ark.) have adopted violent measures to rid their town of suspected gamblers. The Memphis Enquirer of the 4th Icarus from a gentleman just arrived on the Jennie Whipple, that night before lasta young man named John Lewis, who was about leaving upon the boat, was attacked at the moment he emerged from his hotel, stabbed, killed, and his body was thrown into the river. One of his com panions was shot at, but he saved his life by run ning to a boat that was lying below the town and hiding himself upon her." Some further explanation is afforded by tho following extract from the Planter, published at Napoleon : "Napoleon, situated at the confluence of three rivers, is naturally an excellent rendezvous for vagabonds; hence our citizens arc continually an noyed by their presence, and the city authorities, not possessing the requisite police force, have tailed to enforce the laws, and the citizens, in their united strength, have the matter in their own hands, aud will, no doubt, make Napoleon a very unhealthy p(acc for this class of 'gentry.' tt ttt The Printino Office.
