II- _ f THE MOST NOTABLE EARTHQUAKE THAT EVER SHOOK THIS COUNTRY. oc lo" A M(tht Wilton lh? Earth Trembled r?ll " iiiid Quakc(1?itn<t When rile lVople j| H'ppfl Alarmed. Kor the 11 ri<t time, perhaps in a year, we loulced up our forms and went to press .?-oon h- after dark last night, and had a larRC number 1,1 j of our papers printed when the earthquake ?,t took place. lie Last night at ten minutes before ten o'clock j '>c tills village experienced tho inostsevere cr.rtli:(x quake that was ever felt in this section of the as!country. The oldest citizens have feltnothif"| iug like It. The shock lasted for a long time, I,e I and increased In severity until the end. The '>*! exact length of its continuance cannot bo dej"! term I nod. We have heard of no one who lie j knows, and the estimates conflict. The shortid est wc have heard was half a minute, and the J longest live minutes. In our own opinion it id j miiy not have been more than a minute. One re j man put on a shoe, and walked to the steps, one hundred and twenty feet distant, and Cl was half way down the steps before it ceasdd. ge The people were thoroughly frightened,and |[' great nuinhers ran from their houses, in the 4! greatest haste, expecting their structures to 1, fall upon them and bury thcin in the ruins. Those who were in bed asleep were arousod 4 and were more frightened than those who | were awake. People of all nges and Hexes ^ i rushed to the streets with the hastiest toilets. Some come wearing only such clothing as <e they slept in. ? It is said that the cows lowed, the dogs barked. and the chickens save evidence of their 'c* fr?i?Iit. Hut wc did not hear nay of this. The printers in the Press and Manner office x- rushed to the door, believing that the house j50 was failing. ,'l_ One lady fainted, and was so much overa come that medical attention was necessary. ie At that hour religions exercises were being x. conductcd in tiie Methodist church, whicli d was filled with devout worshippers. Presidu' ing Elder Smart had Jutt delivered an elo?] qucnt and soul-stirring sermon from the id text "prepare to meet thy Gbd;" and was In s* the act cf delivering an address to those who e. had so recently surrounded the altar t?j re. p- Ccivc the payers of the clitircli, when the >c: first quiver of the shock was foil. All were BS startled and many thought a cyclone had ic struck the chnrch, and at the second vlbrnHon of tiie shock every man, woman and t. cliild in the church came to their feet, the tx creiscs were suspended, and when the coneluding convulsion took place, which was ve greatly Intensitled, many persons expectcd the iiouse to fall, a panic ensued, and a rush for tiie door was made. At the door which It- opens from the vcsltibulc to tiie yaixl, one -il lady lell, and others in quick succession were )p soon prostrate. The! crowd rushed on but 11- happily no one was hurt. Gloves, hats, fans nnd other articles were left in tiiti church. Many women cried, and many men were ex If cited, while others gave less evidence of fear. ?' The few who remained in the church after ,'r^ the earthqunke iiad passed, sang the doxolo y g>'t while tho<e who reached the open air " rushed to their homes to see what damage, If u' any, had been done there. The shock to tho,| ?hurch was so great that, many had an idea that their houses, which were less able to withstand it, must have been destroyed, but up to this writing wc have no knowledge of any serious injury which any house has sustained. This morning those who had lost books, fans, handkerchiefs, etc., are going back to find the lost articles. One man left his lint in the church. It was si ill there this morning at lmlf-past six o'clock. The loose bricks from the tops of chimneys fell, and we learn that tlio plastering foil from tiie rooms in many houses, but no house, so far as wc have learned, has been seriously injurcdi Window-glass in the Methodist church and in Judge Oothran's hou?t: were broken. Some persons from the country were so inu pressed with the severity of tho shock that they came immediately to town. Ten minutes after the llrlst shock, a second shock oi much less violence was felt. A few minutes later another shock sent people flying from their houses. A fourth shock of like severely was felt at 10.35. At Ave minutes to eleven o'clock another shock occurred, which shock the Ncmv Hotel, ami made it rattle in a way which wo cannot describe. At ten minutes to one o'clock the sixth sliock was preceded t?y a tremor. At 4.35 this morning there was a perceptible tremor of the earth. A few seconds later t he shock was suAides I to rattle the windows of tlie otlice. These were shocks so distinct and so notanl ble that none could fall to hoar and notice them, but those persons who were favorably situated for noticing state that there were at rl) ]e.ist four light shocks of which the people j generally took no notice. While we have no opinion as to the direc? tlon whence the shocks came, others assert that they came front the Kouth-Eust, and! were preceded by a notable noise. ~ Many nervous people were sitting up at one! *? o'clock last night and. the unusually large nu mher of lights I hat. were to be seen in all parts of the town seemed to furnish at least to one proof that others wanted to have a light in ease they should tlnd it necessary to seek a* refuge from their dwellings. The men gathered in knots about town iin. so til a late hour discussing tho phenomena. %. The idea lias been advanced that this earthlr quake may have been sent as a warning to '^j sinners to heed the preacher's cll'ort to conid j vert them to the waj f; of righteousness, and : it is said that some of our pcopio spent some i'(21 time last night tu reading their Bibles and in to prayer. W| Tlie religious zeal of tho prisoners in Jail Jj'l; burst forth in loud prayer and song. :lr! Much anxiety is fell to hear the news from at J other sections of the country.
