Each young gentle man claimed he had the heavier beard of the two. The barber, after considerable examination of tbe hir sute covering on their chins,declared against tbe best looking young man, and he bad to “set- 1 up the milk shakes." We witnessed an arihrsing scene from our office window this week. Two negro boys were playing “hide tho swith.” No. 1 went ofi to hide the switch, whilst No. 2 remained behind and provided himself with a handful of dty sand. When called, No. 2 hunted aimlessly for awhile, and then, turning upon No. 1, charged him with having “swallowed the switch,” and demanded that he open his mouth for him to sec. Ne sooner had the jaws of No. 1 opened than No. 2 planted .sand fnto the cav lty. .Yon can imagine the rest. THE MIGHTY QUIVER. THE ENTIRE EASTERN PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES IS (JUNKED. Bromwich Is not Exempt, bit Feel, ber Found,' tlona Tremble, Mr. Elias Wilson brought into town yesterday Alex Harris, colored, who was caught attempting to break into the house of Mr. Beckham, liv ing near the city. Someone had been committing depredations for quite a while, so Mr. Wilson concluded to “lay wait” for him. As soon as the chap began his work Mr. Wilson started towards him.' A chase en sued, and just before reaching the swamp Mr. W. informed him that unless he stopped lie would certain' ly-fill him with shot. Thinking “dis cretion tho- better part of valor,” Harris at once surrendered, and was brought to tbe city and turned over to the Sheriff. SIX ROOM IIOUSK, lu northern part of the city, for rent.

Mr. John Heins was over this week from Darien, and reports that a col ored man was giving a magic lantern exhibition in one of the colored churches last Tuesday night, and that be had just thrown upon the canvas a representation of tho a9sas sination of Garlield when the shock came. The operator jumped out of tlie window and the crowd went out of the door. As soon as the first shock was over an old negro woman announced that it was a visitation “from do I.ord for usin’ de church house for a show,” and suggested that summary vengeance be admin istered upon tlie wicked young man who Imd dared to do such an unhal lowed thing. The crowd looked nt it in the same light, and the poor fellow sought refuge in flight, and only saved himself by reaching tho swamp before his pursuers overtook him, who returned to tbe church and held divine service by way of propi tiation for the great sin. I'.raonal Ptraotniili*. Mr. Charley Brown, of the 15. <fc \V. R. R„ left last Thursday noon for Ogdcnsburg, N. Y... for a summer tour.

Water Coatraet Increased — .More Hydrant*. Council, at its last meeting, changed its contract with the water company from twenty-five to fifty hy drants, thus doubling the service.— The proi*osition made was to ftlrnish fourteen more, but the Council pre ferred to take twenty-five additional, thereby increasing the total to fifty, which, according to tbe original con tract, would change the cost of each hydrant from $60 to $30. The four teen additional hydrants would have cost $840, whereas the twenty-five would cost only $1,000 more than the first twenty-five. This will make a j large increase of our fire protection. On Tuesday night at 9:30 it came. With no warning whatever, a low rumbiing noise was heard, and the next instant a convulsive quiver ran through the earth, which was com municated to the buildings.' and ev- cry house rocked and trembled as though mounted on rollers, and wns just preparing to move. The effect upon the people can better be imagined than described.— A great and impulsive fear fell upon everyone, and into the streets they rushed, many screaming and crying, and parents with children in their arms or following in terror. This shock lasted probably a half minute, but the effects, had scarcely’ died away before another came, slightly less violent, shortly followed by a third, fourth and fifth, each decreas ing in force. During the night three other well defined shocks wero felt, while at eight the following morning and several times during the day many claim to have felt shocks more or less pronounced. Near midnight of the following night two very per ceptible tremors were experienced — The exact time of the shocks of Tuesday night was as follows: 9.90, 9.40, 9.45. 10.00, 10.25, 12.15, 12.25, 5.00. As might be supposed, it was no easy task to quiet one’s nerves suffi- niently to allow sleep, and many a couch brought no repose to its toss ing occupant that night. NO ACTUAL DAMAGE Was done to property in tbe city or surroundings of which we can learn, with the exception of at the St. Si mons light house, which is quite se rious. A note from Mrs. Peckham, wife and assistant of the keeper, says: “The revolving machinery was thrown out of gear, and the light ex tinguished. One of tbe red flashes was broken in more than a hundred pieces, and many pieces wero broken out of the lenses. A pitcher of water was in the watch room, and tbe wa ter was thrown out of the pitcher.— Tlie tower fairly seemed to dance. Tlie keeper was cool and ready to re pair tho damage, but the poor assis tant was so badly frightened that she shook as badly as the tower.’ OVER THE COUNTRY. The shock was felt more or less ev erywhere cast of the' Mississippi. It seemed to strike the coast from a southeast direction, moving toward the northeast. No damage is re ported except at Charleston and vi cinity, which seemed, to catch tho' full force of the shock. But what a tale of woe comes from there ! Tlie shocks were terrific, and the city is positively ruined. Buildings were everywhere torn and cracked, ahd whole blocks lie in ruins. More than hundred persons were killed or wounded by tbe falling buildings, and vlie groans of the wounded and shrieks of tbe terror-stricken min gled with the horrid thunder of de struction. Fires everywhere broke out train lamps and other causes, and were but poorly fought. . So ter rible was'the anguish of everyone that the tires were little noticed. During the entire night the shocks continued, and with each new one the people expected their end to come. Every available open space was crowded w>th people in mortal terror. During tlie day and night following the reign of terror con tinued, and the sutferings of the peo ple were fearful to think of. It is es timated that fully three-fourths of tbe houses of tile city will have to be rebuilt before they can be inhabited. Summerville, tweny-two miles from Charleston, shared about the same fate, and is a perfect wreck, van’s island was much shaken, but no serious damage or loss of life oc curred. The ground in many places in the demolished district is cracked open, and water, mud and sulphur ous gas issue therefrom. The dam age in Charleston is roughly esti mated at from live to eight million dollars. JtMfs Bias Btilga>. The following communications will explain themselves: Custom House, Brunswick, Ga..

The marsh hens, cranes, and other birds came up all around tlie house, and seemed to tear the presence of man very little. The poultry cackled, the dogs howled— everything was confusion and noise except the water, and that was as still as death, Not a fish was to|be seen or heard. Even the shrimp had all disappeared. The bird and ani mal creation seemed to know that something terrible was about to hap pen. Mranra. Hoxtnlrk llroa.
