The census returns show the popula tion of Philadelphia to bo (557.171), which is. at lcat 200,000 less than the citizens expected. In 1800 the popula tion was 5GG,170, showing an increase of 91,G")0 in the last ten years. The recent shock of an earthquake which was so sensibly felt over a large portion of the Middle and Eastern States, makes a reference to former earthquakes which have occurred in this country, of interest. The most important earthquake that has occurred in this country of which wchavc any record, was at New Madrid, below St. Louis, on the. Mississippi, in 1811. Over an extent of country three hundred miles long, from the mouth of the Ohio to that of the St. Francis, the ground rose and sank in great undula tions, and lakes wcro formed and were again drained. The surface broke open in fissures, from which mud and water were thrown as high as the tops of the trees. The direction of these fissures was generally northeast toward the southwest, and the inhabitants noticing this, felled the tallest trees at .right angles to this line, and stationing themselves upon them escaped being engulfed. The country is still called the "sunk country," and its extent along the White water is seventy or eighty miles north and south, and thirty miles cast and west. Duriug this earthquako the inhabitants noticed two motions, one was horizontal and the other was vertical ; and they dis covered that the former movement was far more desolating than tho latter. A remarkable chasm, which was pro duced by an ancient earthquake, may bo followed from tho western base of the Shawanguuk Mountain, at Ellenville, Ulster county, New York, for about a mile to the summit. An area of an hundred acres is here rent in every di rection, tho continuity of tho surface is interrupted by sudden steps of rock, which present abrupt walls, while tho gorge to which we referred, has spread out in a frightful abyss more tliau a hun dred feet wido. This shows that Now York is liable at any titno to be terribly shaken, and there can be little doubt that at one time that State was us subject to earthquakes as Chili, Peru, and Central America. B During the past seven months no less than three attempts have been made by burglars to effect an entrance from the rear into the storo of Joseph Agostino, a gunsmith, at No. 201 East Twenty-third Btreet, N. Y. That tho fourth attempt should not prove successful, Mr. Agostino determined to lay a trap for the burglars. Accordingly ho has been lately iu the habit of having a loaded gun in such a position that it would be discharged by any one opening tho shutters of his place of business. Last Wednesday night ho loaded as usual, the gun with slugs, placed it with tho muzzle pointing to the shutter, and fastened a string to tho fas tening of the latter and the trigger of the gun. He then went home. The next morning ono of tho men em ployed in the store came to open it, and was startled to find the body of a man lying beneath tho window. Upon a closer examination it was found that he was dead aud that the wholo roof of his head had been blown off. Tho police were notified and Captain Cameron of tho Eighteenth Precinct, proceoded to the scene. He found that the shutters had been partly opened, and that the man had been killed while in the act of commit ting a burglary. ' A Queer Story. A gentleman residing in tho suburbs of Pittsburg, Pa., has an orchard of choice fruit, and ho was greatly annoyed by trespassers who would visit tho orchard by night and carry off largo quantities of upples and other fruit. Uue morning tw men passing along tho road saw a man lying under a tree, in the orchard, and near tho roadside. Ho was covered with blood, and his clothing reduced to mere tatters. At first it was supposed that the man was dead, but moans wcro heard, and the men went over to ascertain what was the matter. They found tho man almost ex hausted and unable to move himself. They procured water and after giving the injured man u drink, lie recovered sufficiently to tell his name and place of residence, lie declined ut first to toll them how he came to be iu the condition ho was found, but was finally persuaded to give an explanation. He told them ho had visited the orchard for tho purpose of obtaining some apples, and had climbed a tree to prevent detection. While en gaged in picking the fruit he suddenly missed his foothold and fell to the ground. Ho was rendered unconscious but did not know how long ho remained so. When he recovered his conscious ness ho felt no pain, but on attempting to rise found that one arm and one leg were paralyzed. He did not call for assistance for fear ho would be arrested, arid con cluded that he would remain until morn ing. He soon felt a drowsy sensation, and would have fallen asleep but for a noise which aroused him, and on looking up saw two cows near by. Tho animals advanced toward him, and one of them commenced licking his face and hands, lie tried to drive them away, but they tasted the brackish perspiration which covered his hands and face, and ho found it impossible to frighten them. His tormentors persisted in licking him, and finally commenced tearing off his coat aud flannel shirt, thus enlarging the exposed surface. The process was continued until his body was almost de nuded, and tho flesh lacerated by the teeth of the animals. The licking with the rasp-like tongues was coutiuued until blood oozed from his arms, breasts, and face, and the unfortunate victim sunk away from mere exhaustion, after using every exertion in his power to keep the animals away. The men were convinced that the statement was true, and it was corroborated by the appearance of the man. They immediately conveyed him to his home, and a physician summoned to at tend him. ' The treatmeutat first was di rected to tho lacerations of the flesh but before these were healed it was found that the fall had affected some of the in ternal organs, ono of which was ruptured. The man was subsequently removed to a hospital, where ho is still under treatment, although no hopes of his recovery are en tertaiued. fiST"One of the most remarkable cases of suicido that has ever startled the com munity, says tho New Oricans Picayune, occurred at tho foot of Saraparn street about five o'clock this (Thursday morn ing. A young man and woman by mu tual consent, proceeded to tho rivers edge, and locking hands, jumped into the river aud were drowned. The name of tho man is Andrew Byran, who is about twenty-three years of age and a native of Ireland. The girl's namo is Jane Sweeny, seveutecn years of ago and a native of Scotland. It has been ascertained that they were lovers, and for some time have been living in intimate relations. The girl's nature recoiled from this dis reputable life, and her importunities have been incessant that ho would marry her. The persuasions of her friends were also added, and the man was finally given to understand that this act of justice to tho girl could no longer bo postponed. Her sin was tho result of inexperience, of her friendless condition and affection for him. These representations, were, however, un able to subduo his repugnance to the marriage, and he stated that he would rather die than submit to such an alter native. The girl, distracted with grief, and mad, it may be, with despair, replied that if death was the only alternative she would share it with him. This had been going on for two days. Monday night they had an interview and con versed several hours together. The re sult has been the double suicido just com mitted. Tho circumstance appears to have caused a general sadness among the friends of the parties. They wero mutually es teemed, and the unhappy secret that has led to their death, until a few days since, has been jealously guarded by euch. Advertlslnfr Agencies. All good business men, now recognize importance of advertising, and it is an acknowledged fact, that no ono has ever met with marked success who has not taken this means of making himself and his busi ness known to tho public. The necessity of having advertising dono in a systematic manner has suggested tho establishment of agencies, tho proprietors of which should pay a special attention to this busi ness and act as a medium between the city advertiser and the papers at a dis tance. This branch of business has now become so systematized that nearly all large advertisers make their contracts with country, and even city papers, through the medium of agencies, somo of which do a business amounting to hun dreds of thousands of dollars annually. Probably tho largest agency in the world is that of Messrs. Geo." P. Howell &, Co., of New York, and next to thein comes Messrs. S. M. Pcttengill, & Co., of the same city. Messrs. lvowcll & Co., have accounts with over 5000 newspapers scattered over tho United States and Canada,a copy of each of these papers be ing regularly received by them and placed on file so as to bo readily referred to at a moments notice. Among the journals on file at their olllee will bo found copies of this paper; so that persons from this vicinity while in New York can by call ing at the office of Messrs. Geo. P. How ell & Co., 40 Park How, always have an opportunity of reading the home news. Either of tho above agencies arc au thorized to receive advertisements for The Bloomjicld Tivux, at our lowest rates, and parties iu N. Y., wishing to con tract for advertising arc icfcrcd totlieiu.

About twelve o'clock in the night, she bciug enriente, she was unexpectedly taken with labor pains. The landlord hearing of her con dition, went to her room, and ordered her out of the house. When she reached tho street she was so weak that she had to cling to a lamp post to prevent herself from falling on the pavement. A police man passing at tho time, and heariug her story, conveyed her to tho Cherry street station-house, where Lieut. Killacky fur nished her with the most comfortable apartments at his disposal. Medical at tendance was also summoned, and a short time afterwards she was delivered of a fine, healthy daughter, and at last ac counts was doing well. Lieut. Killacky telegraphed to her friends at Chester, und she will bo well provided for until such time as her relations can remove her with safety.
