The Kditor’s Cow alul tile Earthquake, ra On Saturday about 5:30 p. m. an earth quake shock of considerable force disturbed the visual quiet of our city. A rumbling sound ns of distant thnnder sccompaniei the shock. The shock was perhaps the severest ever felt in this section, timbers of houses creaked, windows rattled and the jarring was sensibly felt. But few failed to notice the ouaking or the lumbering sound. A cow was being milked on the editor's lot nt the time of the shock, which immediately lay down, the milker affirms, and showed sifpis of distress, as did also the calf that seemed afraid to leave its mother's side for some time. This is in harmony with the fact that animals in volcanic countries usually give the first alarm of approaching earthquakes.—8andersville Herald. Major Huron for Governor.
