Ever since that big shake-op Char
lotte got one .August night several
years sgo, earthquake news has been
eagerly sought by our people. They
will probably be interested to know
that there has been tremors all
around us lately, and the moat so
rious among ths many earthquake
hocks that have recently occurred
is reported from Texas. It was in
the first hour ef Thursday last, and
was more alarming than any of the
other shocks of the past month. It
was accompanied by a loud and long
etonatlon that resembled a roll of
thunder, and it shook some of the
uildingsof the town of Rush in a
dangerous way.
The earthquake shocks beard of
inoe November have extended
along the two Amei 'as, in a line
running north und sol h, fer a dis
tance of over 2,000 milts, and in this
country have struck eastwardly
from the Pacific coast to the Alegha-
ny Mountains.
It is evident that the subterranean
forces have been unusually active
during the past few weeks.
