About 1 o'clock last Friday morning the dread alarm of fire re-am rule I through our streets And arou-cl the slccpiug inhabitants of the town. I tie .1 lines (>oii -hot up high iu the air denoting the direction where ii-sistance ^as needed, and in a very short time two-thirds of our citizens were assembled to witness the destruction of the handsome ;icw residence of Mr. It. \V. Harris on South street, an I between the residences of Misses Mcllwaine and the nearly completed house of Mrs. Mix. The fire was first discovered in the second story, and before much assistance arrived it had gained micIi headway that nothing could he saved hut the furiiiiiiro in the tirst dory. Fortunately it was a perfectly calm night and the tire was confined to the one building: but the heat broke all the tzl.ass and warned the weather-boarding on tliat side of Mrs. ilix s house. The immediate cause of the fire is not known, but they hud been ironing in that story during the day, and it is possible that it was caused by a defective chimney Hue, perhaps front the out i h ((lake. Whetherthat was the cause or not, the mere suspicion is sufficient to suggest that every chimney in the town should be carefully examined before tlie cold weather requires fires. Such a precaution may prevent a -erious coiillagrat ion and loss ,,f valuable property. It may be found upon examination, taut only ntm chimney in the town has hoendauuged, but, a fire from that one chim'nT^Tl^W' be as disastrous as tires from a do/.cn. In that case, "an ounce of preventive would be much better thail a pound of cure. ' Mr. Harris was insured for ?t on house and furniture, which cannot cover the loss he lias sustained. Me rejrrci to learn that Mrs. Ilix lost |iiitc a large ipmnlity of bedding and other furniture, which she had stored in tlie tippet part of Mr. Harris' house, while building her ntw dwelling. Me -ineercly sympathize with .ach one in their loss. Tho Quakos Contiuuo.

During the night, from six to eight tremors were felt by numbers of persons in this town and vicinity; ati'l again, about "? o clock Tuesday meriting, a -hock nearly :H severe as the seouid one of the memorable Tuesday night, August '1. made houses and furniture tremble very ] reeptihly. And still, again, about I o'clock Wednesday nooning, another (U.akc awoke m my of our citizen- from sound slumbers. The many recurrences of these agitations of the eatth continues the anxiety an 1 unrest of a large portion of our eiti/.eus : but we are confident tiierc is no d mger in them, a.- they grow weaker and weaker, and are only no re sensibly fell from that expectivc and apprehensive state of mind which very naturally keeps us all fecl' ing and looking for them. In conversation with our venerable eiti/.en. Mr. Isaac Patrick. and two or three other gentlemen from the l'ae det section of th" county, they told u- that about fifty years ag > a severe shock of enrthi|uake was felt in the IDddstown neighborhood, that -hook houses almost as ha I as that ol' Augu-'f.l last, threw wkkry and gins-ware from Jdiolve-'. x-topped ?dock->w and created general Consternation among the pt-ople It was during the Miller'tsni cxuitcmow, and the deluded followers of that liumbiig firmly believe i that tirily the end of time had conic and many stco 1 ready to a-ccnl, in robes ol white.

We answer: /henuse tee t' ix/t to >i better state nf r'tiyious thiwjs in Citton. Not that we wouhl disparage the present condition, or institute a comparison with the past: hut we believe aiT improvement ts needed and can be enjoyed. Progress is the normal law of life?of religious life as well. Now, it is apparent, as we think all will allow, that there obtains among us a very low -tale of religious experience and enjoyment. True, our people attend church on Sunday ubout as well as elsewhere, hut our service- are, too generally, col I and formal?too little life among us the plane on which we move is too low, as compared with the Hible. And this i-> true of family religion n? well as of public services. The church is making too little impre--i >11 upon our society, individually, socially and otherwise. There are too many of our people w ho scent, at least, to carc nothing or hut little for these things. They admit, in terms, that religion is paramount, yet treat it as secondary?as something that will do for ?suu lay. but not one that should enter, as a prime factor, into everything with which we have to do. Now. unless the professed followers of t'hrist bestir themselves, this date of things will continue, aud some whom we respect and love will be lost, and lost forever. And this is not according to the will of God, " ho n il/ hilV) nil no H to hi tltVt'f tlllil Chiii* f'i //,< hHOi' h !;/' (>/ //< (ruth Now, as Christ inns, who profess to love God and souls, shall wc not bestir ourselves, nud t?y the union of our forces and labors and prayers cooperate with tied, that smiic .it least may be saved V Through preaching it p'oases God to save ; and he has promi-cd to.answer prayer to this end. And -hall we not use this means and receive tlie promise V Anything like an extended revival lias not been hi 1 in this town f-r years past. And why? ttiir church paper-are full of what is being enjoyed in many place-. God is no rc,-pceler of person- or of communities, and is as ready to grant to us times of rcfre-hing as to other people in other places. Gut we must use the means, ami use thnu rightly ; we must put ourselves in proper relation to the matter, and strive for the necessary receptive mood of mind and heart, or God will not, cannot bless us. In one place Jesus, himself, could do no mighty work because of the unbelief of the people. It is said, "According to your faith he it unto you." e must believe in God and in the power of His word, energ:/- I by the Holy Ghost : hut " faith without works is dead.'' So we must work ?use the tu.uins according to our faith, or we shall not he hies-e 1.

MendeuliaHa theory that the shocks felt subsequently to ilie great conviil ion of the last day of August were hut the readjustments of displacements produced by the first shock, is finding some confirmation in circumstances which have been noted at Suniitierville. At srveral places the brick pillars and woo len blocks on which most houses in that town are constructed, were thrust forward and recoiled after the shock. This action and reaction left crevices in the earth one, two and as many as li\e inches in width. These crevices have now disappeared and can only be accounted for on the reasonable supposition that the series of slight movements, caused by subsequent tremors or 'readjustments,' has restored the surrounding earth to its original position.?
