Just faney sitting down to a tureen of barley flavored fwith beer and brown' sugar, or sago flavored with claret and sugar,' with raw alt herring as a bone Louche.

FEARFUL EARTH SLIDES. THREE TERRIBLE; ' ACCIDFNTS WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES. . The Pittsburg . Dinpatch &vjs : There was a "moving" scene in Monongahela borough yesterday, which not only carried with it at the time of its occurrence ter ror to the hearts of those who witnessed it, but through its consequences as still visible, might well create a similar feel ing. The latter part of the night had been stormy, and after daybreak the rain fell in torrents, while shifting winds blew with great forec, at places making play things ot loose signs, awnings and every thing of such character that presented itself. On the top of the almost perpen dicular hill looking, down upon the bor ough named, and haviug the Pittsburgh, j Cincinnati aud St. Louis railroad running along its base, the storm was particularly felt. . Such was the effect of the rain that it gradually loosened overhanging ledges of rock huge projections, weighing many tons,-and these, unsuportcd, fell with tremendous force from their places, strik ing the hardened railroad bed 100 feet be low, and bounding thence, some of them almost unbroken, others in an hundred splinters, through the air for fifteen or twenty yards, until they encountered and literally tore away a portion of a row of frame houses owned by Graff, Bennett & Co., situated below their mill and tenant ed by their employees. -' '-! ' The first crash and monitor of the ap proaching greater peril came at some twenty" minutes past seven o'clock At this time in one of the shanties, occupied by the families of John Ilollcran and Ber nard McCaffcrty, preparations for break fait and early attendance at Easter church services were in progress. llolleran liv ed in'the half of the house nearest the railroad and McVafferty in the other half f ronting on the street. The first named had been up stairs with his wife and a man named Joyce, aud all three were now descending to the lower story, Joyce lead ing the way. When about half a dozen steps from the bottom a piece of rock, .weighing at least half a ton, came whizzing-through the side of the house, bear ing with it. walls and doors, and tearing away the stairs just-from below the step on which Joyce was standing. Its course then lay through' the floor into the celler, bringing Joyce along, but apart from in juries to his legs and some slight bruises, not injuring bim severely.' llolleran and his wile, strange to say, were left stand ing on the upper aud unsupported portion of the steps frightened out of their wits, but 'otherwise unharmed. Two minutes after this another rock came into the building swept the clock off the mantle piece, dashing it into many fragments, and tearing through the room occupied by Mr. M'Cafferty and bis family. The crash of the falliug rocks woke up the entire row very quickly, and in a mo ment the situation was so far understood that preparations were raado for safety. A widow named Mrs. Jones had, with her daughter, only a little while left a house occupied by them, a few doors removed from that of which llolleran and M'Caf ferty were tenants, when another immense weight of stone whirled through the Jones building,.', gutting it completly, tearing away "the. stairs, breaking the furniture, and eventually lodging in the cellar. The wreck was not quite so bad aa that made in the first instauce, yet a glance at it suf fices to show with what terrible power the projectile invaded the premises, and sug; gests it to have been an exceedingly for tunate circumstance that no human bein; stood in its way. - .. -. The worst accident occurred in less than fifteen minutes, on the premises of a man named Johu Goldcu. Golden, bis wife and their little child, a baby of some nine months old, occupied a one-story shanty, where a single apartmcut was made to an swer "all the purposes' of sleeping room, and parlor. Mr. and Mrs. Golden, on learning what had occurred farther up, left their place and went to a family next door, -allowing, however, their baby to re main in bed in their own house. They had been away some .time when a little girl of seven, years, thought of, the slum -bering child, returned to see how it fared, and brougetit out of the house. She had no more than left with her charge when' the largest piece of rock that had yet fal len came with a terrific crash throught'the house," leaving it simply a mass of splin tered timbers and landing ten feet beyond. The circumstance, as reported by the eye witness, would show that there was never a closer escape from what would have been terrible and' instantauoous death. r"- All through yesterday the greatest alarm pre : railed among residents on. the tqw, and a constant watehfwas kept upon the frowning hill ab ove, which at that place seemed on the point of dissolution. It is only a mat ter of time for further falls, and the fact is so well known that the Italians never looked with greater auxicty and suspense for their- native : avalanches than do the Monouga'ula borough folks at present an ticipate the dreaded land slides from Mouut Washington. , Seventy-four persons died of small pox in Philadelphia hst week; the whole number of deaths from all cause being 430. .

What Was Given to Chicago. The report of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society has just been published. It fills eighty-seven octavo pages, and is, ou the whole, a satisfactory compilation, although it makes no attempt whatever to give an idea of the amouut contributed by each of the several States and by foreign nations. The Chicago Times, however, very seasonably comes to the aid of- the Committee, and supplies the deficiency in a series of tables. From this source we learn that New York City and State, independent of A. T. Stewart's munificent gift and the collections of the Chamber of Commerce, occupy the first place on the list, the total amount sub scribed being 8624,371.39. Singularly enough, England comes second, by right of an aggregate of 8386,420.50, and wo have no doubt this amount will be'in creased to 8400,000.
