A. correspondent states that the streets were tilled with men and women in their night clothes, running hither and thither in great alarm. Animals 'of all kinds felt the shock ; horses became wild with terror, and ..01110 were thrown down by the Motto.. oC tbe , others started and ran away. Dogs wore barking and running through the streets, apparently not knowing what they were doing. Birds e. on noticed the great con vulsion or native. But few persons would enter buildings, and those would stampede into the streets with a rush whenever a slight vibration indicated that the earth was not yet settled. The earthquake took precedence over eV.erything, business be ing for the time forgotten, turd all looked as if another night origin come that would swallow the city ; yet, with all this fear the people tried to look cheerful as they told their experience and related their hair breadth (.1.,11.1pe5. Many most ludicrous in cidents occurred. Persons in the country noticed 1111 I/pile:11:111g and opening of the earth in several places. Large masses of rock, soveral tons in weight, were detached and rolled down the hills; mountains were violently - shaken, and water made its ap pearance where all was dry before. From some streams, bubbles containing inihrm mable gins have risen to the surface. Al though one hundred buildings in the city have been damaged more or less, a thorough examination proves that those buildings which have been properly constructed will stand much heavier shocks. The Occiden tal and the Cosmopolitaii Hotels, the Lick Horn:o, and the Russ House, the largest buildings in the city, are uninjured, except that in seine instances the chimneys were thrown down and the plastering cracked. The damage west of Montgomery street is very slight, very few buildings occupying solid ground showing any damage what ever. The greatest wreck of buildings arid destruction of property was confined to the eastern and southern portions of the city, where the buildings aro erected on made ground, 01)cittrsIge. Ye,terday morning the Western Union Telegraph Company, or persons acting un der its authority, committed an outrage upon our people which cannot ho allowed to pass unnoticed. Fur a few years past the Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Compa ny has been a powerful opposition to the monopoly which had previously existed, ;and each month has been extending its wires North, South, East, and West, thus increasing the lacilities for telegraphing . , and causing a reduction in the crates asked for the transmission of messages. The citi zens of Philadelphia, appreciating the ad vantages of the opposition, have patronized the now company, until its revenue, have vastly increased, and its permanency been established. Yesterday morning, however, it wasdiscovered that an unexpected in terruption in the labors of the operators had taken place by the wires of the Pacific and Atlantic being cut front the poles on Market street by employees of the old monopoly. The usual daily work of the injured corporation, however. was only temporarily delayed, other and more friendly companies corning to the rescue; but this does not lesson the enormity of the outrage, ,tad we are much mistaken if this overt act of the Western Union Company does not result, in great pecuniary benefit to the enterprising organization which is daily proving itself a most powerful rival. We presume the matter will of course be taken to court, and therefore, for the present, we refrain from further comments. —Sunday Republic, liorrible Ateldent On Thursday, while ex-Slacriffllanna, of Lock Ilaven, was out hunting deer, his gun was, in some way unknown, accident ally discharged, The load took effect on his bend, blowing his brains out and scat tering thorn on the ground.

Need of Rest. A. writer in Lippincott's Magazine says : Head-workers need more rest limn hand workers. The old saW precisely inverted the proprieties of the case, so far as invol ved them, declaring , "seven hours' sleep to suffice the student, eight the laboring man, and nine the fool." The hours of hard brain work destroys, us before ob served, more nervous tissue, and cause a greater substraction of the posphates from the system than an ordinary day's work at mere mechanical labor, the proportion of grains (in weight) being as 86:77. Above everything else, brain workers need sleep, early sleep and late sleep, and enough in the middle to feel "real stupid*' at the end of it. Stupidity is precisely the condition into which this class of toilers should man age and. devise and strive to get themselves for a time, longer or shorter, each twenty four hours. Nothing rests the brain, and the whole working system like it. Narco tic stupidity, the product of ale, tobacco or wine, is not the thing referred to, though in emergencies this may, perhaps, be had re course to as a medicine, but . the quiet, re poseful re-adjustment of the nervous con ditions, and the re-charging with eft:,/ force of the nerve batteries, the Contacts not yet closed, the galvanic currents therefore not yet set in motion, but only filling up the system with a blind, diffused feeling of healthy sensations and reserved efficiency. The A pproachi fag Ear t. hqua he. 'rho New York ..laas has some utis.giv logs concerning the California earthquake. It thinks it will be the turn of New York, or perhaps the whole Atlantic coast, next. The editor, as if with fear and trembling, asks: "Have WC. not been warned of ap proaching mistbrtune of the character to which we are referring? Undoubtedly. Not longer than two weeks ago two "smart," earthquake shocks were felt in Virginia, and the chivalry became veritable quakes. If the American seaboard ever catches a blow of this kind, it will be an earnestrime; and what if such a blow really impends ?

Tilt , : Wisconsin papers tell terrible tale, of the effects of the collapse of the hop bub ble, the termination of the hop fever, and the fall in the price of hops. For some years past the hop crop has been s, abun dant, pi ices so high, and the returns so large, that, hop growers were completely infatuated, and great numbers of other%Nise sensible men were converted into mon omaniacs, who thought of nothing, talked of nothing, and cared for nothing but hops. Every other interest gave way 4.1 The tumble in the price of hops has pro duced widespread discV, fur. The farmers in the hop regions, since the magic reed upon which they leaned has broken, :In) ii ftlont money and without bread ; in short, they are left with nothing but mortgaged farms, needy fmnilies, and ruined credit.

Any person who has felt the pain and in convenience of coming suddenly from a dark room into the full blaze of day will conceive the necessity of lighting a stable in a proper manner. This is too often neglect ed in confined steb!es, and the consequences are most distressing to a humane observer. The poor horse, led suddenly to his work, shows his pain by unmistakable expres sions, stumbles, and runs against anything that may happen to be near, until the eye has in some degree accommodated itself to toe new circumstances under which it is placed. Nor is this all. By the continu ance of this change, from darkness to sud den daylight, the eve becomes seriously in jured. The refla., 157 , 7 - sensible nerve, be- COILICt' (lull, and more or less useless; the horse's sight is injured ; he starts and shies at oltjects, which he sees imperfectly; and many a rider who has received a dangerous injury has had to thank his inattention to this situ pie cause, rather than •any - vicious habit of the animal to which it has been at tri bu ted. Blindness is almost certain to be caused by inattention to the above caution but even blindness is less dangerous to the rider than imperfect sight. In the first case, the horse is forced to trust entirely to the bri dle; but in the latter, objects only half dis tinguished, terrify and startle, though they would under ordinary circumstances be passed without notice. SECTIEE THE LEavti:s.—The woods are now lull of leaves. Indeed they appear to be more abundant than ever, but farmers do not value them as highly as we think they should. For barnyards especially they are profitable to haul in. They are ob tainable too when there is a little pressing work on hand. (-lathered up iu heaps they can be readily loaded in carts and wagons with close shelving% by using either a cloth tiome two or three yards square, or with a v(ooden rake and the arm. Hogs are very fond of them for litter, so are cows ; and for compost they arc excellent. As oat straw is now usually fed to cattle, and rye straw commands a high price in the market, there is nothing left for the purpose of littering except wheat straw. Hence forest leaves should be held in higher estimation than they commonly are. It is a good ride to gather them this month or early in December, as they aro not itilite dry and can be loaded more read ily larger quantities can be got on the wagon. TREE FLA.:: riNG.—ln planting trees this Fall, all should remember that it is requi site to Set the tree only just so deep as to enable it, to stand, for we can place earth around it so as to protect it front heaving off the \V inter's frost; and as soon as Spring opens and the ground is leveled down, the roots will start and sock their appropriate depth. If we dig a deep hole, especially in liarh'elity'solVand - fill it - wiiir-good. - - - lostai and set our trees therein, we invite the water there as into a cistern—and second, we cause a vigorous growth of roots, until they reach the undisturbed clay, when a check is at once perceptible ; and often an orchard stands from live to seven years without apporently making any progress. Remember, then, and plant your trees just so deep as to cover their roots, but no more; then earth up for it winter protection against frost for the year, and dress down again to a level in the Spring.—Ho .110 M "r 0 CWIE CIINPVEDNns.—Take three drachm, of gum camphor, three of white bee,wax, three of spermaciti, and two ounc.•s of olive oil. Put them together in a tin cup, on the stove, where they will melt ,lowly, and form a white ointment in a few minutes. If the hands be affected, anoint them on retiring at night, and put on a pair of glove , . A. day or two will su f ace to hall them. Evfmv farmer's family can find good use for the soot which is usually so abun dant in their stove-pipes and chimneys. Twelve quarts of water, well mixed With soot, will make a powerful liquid manure, whieh will improve the growth of flower., garden vegetables, or root crops. In either liquid or solid state it makes an excellent top dre.sing Mr grass or cereal crops. AT a recent meeting of the Farmer.; Club of the American Institute, Dr. Feuchwang er gave an account of experiments made by him fir the pre-ervation of wood. He said that 'a 00i1 Luiied I . llt in lime -water, and then coated with silicate of soda, or liquid glass, will last a very long time.
