A Leal From History.
WAS IT A PROPHECY?
. The Charleston News and Courier
publishes the following interesting
article in its issue this morning.
“Soon after the great earthquake
in New England, in 1727, the Rev.
Jostah Smith, who was then pastor
of the Dissenting Church atCainhoy
a village near Charleston, S. C ,
preached a sermon in Charleston,
with the earthquake as his text, some
sentences of which, when read in
connection with the recent occur,
fences in the South, have an odd
sound. “The God,” he said, “who
shook New England can, with equal
ease, make Carolina tremble.” Other
sentences ,of tit is discourse, which
was printed in Boston in 1730, were
as follows:
We are, perhaps, greater Sinners
than they. Though justice lias smote
them, and spared ns, our Grimes
might be more Crirnron than theirs
and our State more dangerous. It
may be, God reserves us for severer
Rebukes of Providence. There is,
doubtless, Provision enough in Na¬
ture for an Earthquake in Carolina.
Wo know not what vast Subterran¬
ean Caverns. We stand over and
what, store of nitrous Sulphtirious
Particles are lodged below us to ful¬
fill their Sovereign's Will upon his
Word or Touch. The Earthquake
which ,shock New England had al¬
most reached Carolina, or rather,
been felt in the .more distant parts
and skirls of the Province; and very
probably, by, com pari ngT’imes, (Tar.
leston heard its Roar; what sparing
Mercy that wo only heard it.”

Prof. White was in Baltimore, and

His views, founded upon the ohser

of Georgia and of t lie Soiit li. Indeed
those who know Prof. White through

noted all the evidences and develop¬

that sensations have subsided and
the first furor has passed, Prof.

His I’rayer Answered,
Rev. Lyman Green, of tlie Irwin
ton circuit, was holding a protracted
meeting at Red Level church when
the oprthquake came, and had just
uttered the prayer, “Oh, Lord, awake
the people of tins church a conscious¬
ness of their sins. If need be, shake
it from centre to circumference.”—
Scarely had the words been uttered,
before the quake occurred. Great
consternation followed in the eou
gregation ami much religious inter¬
est was manifests! after the panic
subsided. Milledgeville Chronicle.
Burned to Death.
Miss Virginia Murray, an aged la¬
dy living with Mr. John Fuller, was
burned to death last Sunday mom
mug. it seems that she was prepan
itig to light her pipe, and it is sup¬
posed that fire dropped on her cloth
ing. Mrs. Fuller, hearing the shrieks,
tan to her assistance, but it was too
late. The fiatnes had completely cm
veloped their victim, and despite the
efforts of Mrs. Fuller, soon did their
deadly work. Mrs. Fuller suffered
severe burns on her bauds. Miss
Murray lived only four hours after
the accident. She leaves many friends
and relatives to mourn her loss.—

HUNGRY AND PENNILESS.
A MOTHER AND CHILDREN BEGGING
FOR A l’LACE TO STAY AND BE
CARED FOR.
Savannah Morning Metes.
The total inability of the city ard
county to provide for the destitute
on account of not having a suitable
institution was shown yesterday in
a most pitiable manner. Thursday
night a white woman with two little
children arrived in the city from
IFaycross.
The woman was partly paralyzed
and penniless. To make matters
worse she and her children were
hungry and in a fair way to starve
unless relieved by the charitable. She
inquired at the depot fora poorhouse
or hospital where she could go. There
was no place, and she found herself
in a strange city without a prospect
of food or shelter. A charitable col¬
ored hackman volunteered to take
her to see Acting Mayor Duncan.
She stated that she came to Savan¬
nah to ho oat o/l for, mupporing HUH
there was some home or institution
here where she and her little ones
would be taken care of. She said that
her name was Ilavcrstou. Dr. Dun¬
can regretted that there was no place
to send her, as the city had no insti¬
tution where it could provide for her.
The hackman was in a dilemma.
He did not know where to take the
woman, and lie did not want to turn
her and her children out on the street
A kind lady who heard of the case
suggested that tin* woman and her
little ones be sent to the barracks ur.
til morning. Altough the barracks is
not intended for any such purpose,
there was no objection to letting her
stay over night. In the morning the
children seemed half starved ami so
pitiable was their condition that
some of the officers raised a purse
and got something for the mother
and her children to cat. Thu small
sum that was raised was given to
Mrs. Havorston, and the hackman
promised to take her baok to the de¬
pot.
It seems to In* the custom hi eoun
ties to send their p’.uipers to Nivari
mih, when iu fact the city has no
better provision for tnem than the
count lcs.
THE CAUSE 0E HOB CHOLERA.
A 1 AIMER rilOI GKTTO HAVE DIED OF
I'll K DISEASE.
Indianai-olis, Sept. 11.—The rav¬
ages of hog cholera in the central
part of the State are a matter ot se¬
rious study hy those concerned. An
important discovery in connection
with the disease is alleged to have
been made by a farmer named Shep¬
pard, in Henry county. He had long
believed that the disease is nothing
more or less than parasites or trichi¬
me in the stomach of the hog, and,
to vindicate his judgment, had a
post-mortem examination upon a hog
that died this week. His opinion was
substantiated hy the finding with the
naked eye of many of those parasites
in the second lining of the stomach.
Ho communicated the fact of his dis¬
covery to the Secretary of the State
Board of A uric tilt lire, and he lias re¬
ferred the subject to a mieroseopist
for examination and report. Mr.
Sheppard thinks he lias also discov¬
ered a preventive of these parasites,
ami expects to be able soon to give
his lcmcdy to the public.
A remarkable story comes from
Mnneie, Delaware county, to the of.
feet that George Wilson, :t well-to
do farmer living eight miles south of
Muneie, died yesterday attornoon
with disease contracted while admim
istering medicine to cholera hogs.
Attending physicians claim that the
disease is similar to hog cholera, and
that it may become epidemic. Wib
son was only sick four hours, and
died in the most agonizing pain. The
entire southern portion of the conn
ty is horrorstricken, and many farm
i rs are anxiour to sell their farms
and go West. It is reported that
many farmers have left their homes,
and will not return until the ques¬
tion of epidemic is decided in this
case.

Earthquake in Mexico.

ment from Tequisixtlan, State of

o’clock on the morning of the 3d in.

Charleston's Bar ami Harbor.
Charleston, September 11. —It is
bright and beautiful to-day, though
it rained heavily early in the morn¬
ing. People are gradually reoccupy¬
ing their houses, and the number in
shelters and tents is lapidly dimisish
ing. There was three or four slight
shocks of earthquake during the
night, but none serious, and few per¬
sons were aware of the occurrence.
The subsistence committ'-e lias
changed the plan of operations, and
appointed visitors for each ward to
ascertain cases of distress, all of
which will be supplied at their homes.
The board of engineers are still at
work surveying the buildings, and
continue to condemn those which are
unsafe.
The latest reports from points
along the South Carolina railroad in¬
dicate that reports of distress at Lin
colnsville and elsewhere were great¬
ly exaggerated. Whatever is ncees
sary will be done for them.
Souk Phelps, of Outhbert, has a
little dog, which follows him to and
from the depot and spends most of
bis time there. The dog is quite a
pet, and the entire family are much
attached to it. Last Wednesday ev¬
ening Sonk noticed that the dog was
sick. lie was limber—couldn’t stand
up, and seemed very sleepy. lie at
once decided that it was poisoned
and was sore distressed. An investi¬
gation, however, proved that the
dog was simply drunk. One of the
family bad been using a decoction,
prepared by putting fresh beef into
whisky, fora could and cough. The
whisky having been consumed the
beef was emptied front the vessel in
which it was, and the dog ate the
beef. The consequence was a ga lor
imts drunk. Thursday morning he
was sober, but seemed to be on the
stool of repentance. Hiscounienancc
bore a sort of “please kick me” ex¬
pression.
