JE5i The Philadelphia Age has declared
the 23d day of November shall tc Thanks
pi viiii? Pay. The ridiculous Age never did
like the 30th because President Grant ap
pointed it. t . -'
lfc-2T"Ourt Democratic co temporaries, are
laviiiir rcat stress on the declaration that
they are defeated but not dismayed. Dc
feated but not dismaj-ed ! That's brave.
Put as events occur in the promised influence
of truth, we expect to hear ; the Pcmocracy
about this time in 1872, declare they arc do
feated, dismayed, but not exactly chawed to
pieces. Wc like cool-headed men, and sure
ly the Democracy arc to be commended for
Tint being dismayed in their present sur
roundings of fearful disaster.
tg" The Momons place great confidence in
their ability to upset the decision in the poly
gamy cases in the United States District Court
f )T Uuh. One of the test cases, which they
have carried up to the Supreme Court' of the
United States, has just reached that tribunal,
and will be made to prove the validity of the
ruling of the Utah Court which tries offenses
ly ajary made up by the United States Mar
shal instead of the Utah SherifF. On this point
Urighara Young objected when he called the
anti-polgamy panel "a packed jury." The ap
peal case does not involve the Mormon prac
tice of polygamy, so we shall have the con
troverted point settled on purely constitution
al grounds.
CThe next will dobutless be a short
term of Congress, and notwithstanding this,
there arc over seven hundred bills on the cal
enders of the two bouses, some of them of the
frreatcst importance. Among them arc bills
removing political disabilities imposed by the
i'iurtccuth amendment, bills to abolish the
income tax, bills to reduce taxation in var
ious ways, and most important of all bills to
restore peace and prosperity to the south.
Should the present active measures of the
government succeed in disbanding and for
ever breaking up the Ku-KIux bands, doubt
less this Congress will remove all political
disabilities heretofore imposed, and declare
universal amnesty throughout the land. Let
us all hope for this result.
Cy It w a little curious to read in an
American newspaper that here, in America,
where all religions are free, and the preach
ing of all creeds possible, that the police are
i-mui polled to stand guard about a building
in which the Bible is read. Yet the storv is
quite true. In New York the llomau Catho
lies threaten to destroy a public school build
ing because the Bible is read in it, and the
I jjiicc surround it to save itfroni destruction
'i'uerc is an easier and better way than this
to solve the difficulty. If thcllouian Catho
lics fear that the truths of the Bible are like
ly to uncathoileize their children, they have
nly to keep them out of the schools. . Eluea
on w not compulsory in this country ; but
there is in the mmds of the American peo-
1 -ie u deep-seated conviction that the Bible

ol that portion of our city lying south ol
Mtin-etMfaQd in the. iicighborhood ol
Scrintotvaye -wer etartledfrom their
slumbers by a rumbling, crashing noise,
and a trembling of the earth and their
buildings, as if by an earthquake. So
violent jwpre; the shocks and so loud the
noise, that they flcJ terror stricken from
their dwellings. After the first roxysrr.
of fright had passed the cause of the tcr

naa given way, causing the earth to
settle some two Icet, and forming
great cracks in the surface. The area ol
ground, which is thickly covered by build
ings and handsome dwellings, is about 20
acres, extending from Main st, at a point
west ot the Welsh Calvinistijc Church
runuing diagonally nortlrc'ast to Chest
nut st. This boundary of the fall is mark
cd by a crack which varies id width and
depth. ; '
This crack- passing7 through the front
yard of the Welsh Calvanistic Church
goes through the dwelling and store o

and the adjoining property, breaking their
walls and rocking the buildings from eel

and causing a large opening in the brick

tracks, of the fall are lost. Put the cf
fects of the fall are still visible in the set

residence and other dwelling between
this poiut and the place from which we
first started
In all of the buildings, and particularly
lnose Messrs. 1 hillips, Kit-hard, t.owel

ucairucuve enecis or mis disaster ruos
clearly visible, as hardly any part of them
remains uninjured Walls and ceilings
broken floors, sunken windows, broken
weiuscoting torn loose, while cistern
wells, and cellars have literally lost their
bottom?,1 causing a destruction of property
amounting to 30,000.
There were three distinct shocks, each
one loud enough to arouse everybody. In
a few minutes Maiu st was crowd with
men, ,; women, and ' children, who were
greatly frightened. When the residence
of Mr.' IX T. Richards was shaken, the
family were compelled to flee in order to
save their lives ; so great was the destrue
tion that the house must b? rebuilt Tho
Hermans House issobadry damaged that
it must bfr torn down. 1 he Post Office
has sunk sotne eighteen inches, and still
continued settlin"
A larire cistern in
the kitchen of Daal Howell was pirced,
and is now dry. ' In fact, not a drop ol
water can be had in any cistern iu any
part of the injured portion. Tho houses
ofij. H. Milfcpaugh, William Price.
Judge W. G: Ward, S. Mcars, and Mr.
Ashby were also badly1 damaged. That
of Edward Herman settled down eighteen
inches below -the surface, but otherwise
is comparatively uninjured.
! The Oxford shaft is situated in the cen
ter of the Hyde Park, and is the property
of lhe Lelawarc,: Lackawanna and Wcs
tern Company, haviug been purchased by
them in '186S from Scldcn, Scranton &
Co.'TheTein which caused such a tcni
ble scare this morning is' known as the
Diamond vein, and has not been worked
by the Delaware, Lackawauna and W'es
tera ' Company. On that ground thev
claim that uo damages will be paid, and
if the losers will insist, the former owners
must bear the brunt. The fall which oc
currcd some " four years ago - in another

much, damii-e was done, was not near so
