The region affected bv the shocks cover five degrees of latitude, and is 500 i miles wide. The shock extended in a; northeast direction, along the northern range of the Andes. It was felt lirst very perceptibly at I'ogota, the capital of Xcw (Jranada, thence seemed to travel north, gathering intensity as it advanced, until it reached the southeast boundary line of Magdalena, w here the work of destruction began, continuing as it advanced along the eastern bonndaty of Magdalena, following the line of the mountain range and tle st roving hi part or whole the cities of Cu cuta, San Antonio, Kl Ilasaiio, Sahizar, San Cristobal, San Cayetano, and Snntiago. The elestructioii was greatest in trrama late, Arboledas, Cucutillas, and Cucuta. Of the fourteen thousand persons who died from the effects of the earthquake, only about five thousand were killed outright ; the remainder died in a shoit time from fever and lockjaw, which, iu that region, nearly always supervene when severe inju ries have been received. The lirst premonition of the terrible vis itation occurred on the night uf May 17, when a strange rumbling sound was heard beneath the ground, although no earth quake occurred. It seemed as if a huge bowldfi had been profiled over the earth, causing a rattling of windows and eloois. and a trembling of crockery. It traveled I in the diiection afterward taken by the earthquake, and lasted only a few minutes. It excited fears, w hich soon subsideel when no serious lesults followed. Put on the morning of May 18 a terrible shock oc curred, which brought consternation to all the inhabitants of Cucuta. It suddenly shook down the walls of bouses, tumbled 1 dov n churches and the principal buildings, j burying the citizens of the place in the 1 ruins. Another shock completed the work of desolation by throwing flow 11 the walls that still remained standing. This, with the shi ieks of the wounded ano dying, and tho pitiful cries of those who had escaped, but who had lost their whole families, made a scone which, hi tho words of a corres pondent, was "the realization of what Dante faintly outlined in his poi trait of the Inferno." Three more shocks followed of equal intensity, but there appears to be 110 evidence that there were any openings in the earth, whieh, on similar occasions, have engulfed buildings and inhabitants, at least not in Cueuta. The shocks, with lesser force, ho-vever, seem to have been felt throughout the whole region of the earthquake for two days afterward, ex tending to Cartagena and the western sea coast. The scenes that followed the first shock pre described as most fearful and tcirible. In this hour of destruction, when men and women were prajing for relief and mercy, ctheis w ho had escaped began an indis criminate pillage, searching the ruins for PAnis, June 23. Heavy rains have pro duced an unprecedented overllow of the Kiver Garonne. Two bridges and many honscs have been carried away. Toulouse is inundated. Tbe waters are still risiuir and the situation is serious. The ; hospital is threatened and the patients have been removed. Paris, Juno 24. The Piver Garonne continues to rise. Several persons have been drowned by the inun Jalions of the ad jacent country. At Toulouse nearly all the houses in the St. Cyprian quarter have been destroyed. At Verdun, in the Department of Ar riegc, over fifty houses have fallen and many persons were drowned. Prom Moutanban the report comes that all the crops 011 the banks of the Tarn and I Garonne aie ruined. The Garonne in &ome j places is four miles w ide. A bridge of seven arches at Tarbcs has j been carried away. I The inundations arc general in tho do- I partmcuts of Aube, llaute-Gaionne and ' Tarn. ! If the rain continues another day all the wheat crop in those departments will be destroyed. The railways arc interrupted in all di rections throughout, the inundated distiict. The damage in the valleys of the t Jarrone and Adour is immense, and the bridges at Toulouse have been destroyed. The water is slowly subsiding, but the rain continues. The Assembly has voted 110,000 francs for the relief of the sufferers. 1'aius, Juno So. The loss of life by tho Hood at Toulouse is appalling. In the st. Cyprian quarter 21 corpses have already been found. The violence ef the torrent frustrated the efforts to rescue the unfor tunate inmates ef a house, and several men wercelrewned in the Attempt. Twenty thousand persons aro deprived of tho means of subsistence in Toulouse alone, and dis asters elsewhere are almost of equal magnitude. The low er part of the city of Mossaie 011 Section 1,700 of the PeTiscd Statutes of the United States reads thus : "All offices attached to the seat of Govern ment shall be exercised in the l)i.tnct ot Columbia, and not elsewhere, except as otherwise expressly provided by law. An at resvwrtmff- Quarantine and health laws," approved February 25, 19V the Presideut may remove tue puouc vm ces, and the Supreme Court may adjourn its sessions, to some other place, "in case of the prevalence of a contagious or epi demical disease at the seat of Government," but further than this there is no exception to the imperative rule of law above laid down. Unless there be a virulent disease in ihe District and the Tresideut or Su preme Court thereupon order a removal beyond its limits, "All offices attached to the seat ot Government shall be exercised in the Dittrict of Columbia, and not ehe ychtre." Xow, is the Presidency an "office at tached to the seat of (iiivMiiment?" If so, tbe incumbent of that office cannot ex ercise any of its powers at Long Pranch. That the Presidency is an "ufllct" the.-Cou-stitution itself says : "Before he enter on the execution of his ojjlr? he shall take the follow ing oath or af firmation : "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the oce of I'rrsiOcnt of ihe United 'st'ttes,," etc. Art. 11., Sec. t, par. 7. Is it an "office attached to the teat of Government?" To answer this we must take a plunge into tho past. On complet ing its labors the convention which framed the Constitution of the United States ie questcel the old Congress to fix "the time and place for commencing proceedings under this Constitution," and in accord ance, with this request that body designat ed March 4, 17S0, as the time and New York as th place. The necessity of a moie central location was soon felt, however, and therefore by "An act for establishing the temporary and jermanent seat of the Government of the United States-," ap proved July 10, 171)0, it was provided that by December 1, 17S0, "all offices attached to the seat of the Government of the Uni ted States"' should bo removed to Phila delphia, and there remain up to December 1, 1S00, at which time the seat of Govern ment should be removed to what is now known as the Disti ict of Columbia. "And all offices Attached to the said seat of Gov ernment shall accordingly be removed thereto by their respective holders, and frhall, after the said da-, cease to be exer cised elsewhere." In compliance with this statute President Washington duly re ! moved from Xcw York to Philadelphia prior to Decembei 1, 1700, and his sucoess- I or, John Adirns, removed from I'liiladel JVcmv ami rotitical Items.

On Saturday last Louis Walker died at West Liberty, Iowa. Before his death he expressed the earnest desire that, if he died, he should be buried on the farm where he formerly lived, near Bevington, a station on the Winterset Branch of the Pock Island Road, about eighteen miles from Dubuque. The strick en wife, filled with love for him, and with a heart filled with sorrow and grief, sought to fulfill tho wishes of her dead husband. She procured a buiial case, started on her sad errand, and assed through there on Monday. She arrived at Bevington, a stranger to everybody. Of the station agent she inquiieel as to the location of the farm where her husband was to be buried. The agent inquired who it was that was to bo buried, and, on being told, he quickly foresaw a very unpleasant affair. Ihe widow had come to bury her htisbaud on the pieinisesof a man whose daughter, then at home, was the w ifo of the eleceased. The agent, after some consideration, deemed it best to inform the widow of the facts. She received the story with perfect astonishment, and could scarcely believe her late husband guilty of such base ness ; but, on being assured it was so, she became indignant, and left the body with citizens, to be cniveye-el to No. 1 (whose first knowledge for years of the where abouts of her husband was his arrival in a burial-casket), to be disposed of as tho saw fit, and, taking the first train, she re turned to her home.

A piece of oak fossilized, which had evidently wheu in condition of wood been artificially cut with square edges to a shape seme twenty inches long by fourteen wide and five deep, has recently becu found in the South Perk tunnol, near Forrest city, Sierra county, 1,800 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, with 00 vertical feet of the mountain above it. This lelic ef human artifice in the prehistoric period was found in what was the west, bank of the great river which ran across the present courses of the Sierra river system. How many thousands of centuries have passed since it was shaped, and for how manv it has lain undisturbed in its deeply covered grave, is a suggestive subject of study and coniecturc. Other discoveries indicating the existence of men in remote ages have-! and destroying fences, culveits, and been made in various sections ef this old river course ; and in 1859 a number of fossilized pine logs, seven feet long and four in diameter, that had been neatly sawed and piled up together, were found in Alleghany tunnel, under the bed of the "Old Blue liiver."

It is nearly in tho form of the letter T. The two heads are at opposite extremities, looking from each either, accompanied with two fore legs. At right angles from the middle extends a heavy double body, with two tails at the extremity. This portion of the calf has two hind legs. It contained two distinct spinal columns, curving much like the letter Y. It repre sents both sexes. This curious calf has been treated toa thorough course of arsenic by A. W.
