NAPLES, July 30.— Professor Pal-; mieri, Director of the Meteorologk' 1 j Observatory on Mount Vesuvius, 1 states that the disaster on the Island of Ischia, on Saturday night, was not , due to an earthquake, but to a subsi dence of the ground. The scenes here occasioned by the accident were heart rending. The hospitals are crowde.l with wounded survivors ; and the dead houses are filled with the dead bodies of the victims. The bodies of several Neapolitan ladies have been recovered from the ruins. Ten houses remain standing at Casamicciola. Cries for help can be heard coming irom the ruins. Sappers are hfcrd at work en deavoring to rescue persons still alive. Boats from the island filled with dead bodies are arriving hero constantly. Many women and children were among the victims. Fifty wooden huts will be built immediately for the ac commodation of the survivors. The muncipal authorities at Naples are sending relief to the island and doing all in their power to alleviate the dis tress of the people. Most of the corp ses recovered were so discolored by dirt that even after they had been washed they were unrecognizable. All the members of the police force at Casamicciola were killed. A boat has arrived at Naples containing the bodies of twenty-four infants. A few persons were taken from the ruins aliye last evening. Eight hundred more troops went to the scene of the disaster last night. It is now stated that the number of persons killed was 2,000 and the number of wounded 1,000. TIIIRTY PEOPLE ENTOMBED. Survivors say thirty-seyen persons were entombed in a room in Hotel I'iccalo Sentinella. Couut Sergardi, after three hours' exhausting labor, rescued eleven persons, but failed to accomplish tho principal object of his efforts, the saving of his sister. The play at the theatre on Saturday night was a burlesque, which opened with scenes representing an earthquoke. FOUR THOUSAND PERISH. It is stated ascertain that four thou sand persons perished on the Island of Ischia on Saturday night. The stench fromthedead bodiesof human beinirsand animals is almost unbearable. Several men aud women were rescued from the ruins on Monday morning. Many more might have been saved if a larger force of rescuers had been available earlier. Many persons who were heard groaning during the night were dead before they could be reached, and car ried to places of safety. The Roman newspapers appeared to day with mourning borders. Many of the people injured in Ischin will be cripples for life. The dead a Forio number three hu - dred, at Laccoamino five hundred, at Fontanaserrora two hundred. Twen ty-four children perished in Mesericor dia asylum. AID FOR THE SUFFERERS. The King and Queen of Italy sub scribed 100,000 lire, aud the Pope 25,000 lirefor the relief of sufferers. ONE THOUSAND LIVES BAVEI). Two thousand soldiers digging in the ruins saved 1,000 liyes up to mid day Sunday, aud exhumed twenty-four persons alive on Monday. SCENE OF THE CATASTROPHE. The inhabitants of Casamicciola are principally peasants, who cultivate the grape. The town has nearly five thou sand inhabitants, and is also much patronized by tourists and invalids, who go there to 1 .ko tho waters. Its baths are largely frequented by suf ferers with lung disorders and skin dis eases, and there is always a throng of visitors at the hotels Hellevue and La (Iran Sentinella. In tho days of the Roman Umpire the baths were in high repute, and their fame has descended to modern times. In the summer time invalids from all countries take the boats from Naples, which run several times a day, and land at a little har bor distant about a mile from tho town and thence proceed on donkey back to Casamicciola. A FAVORITE RESORT. Tho town is the smallest one on tho island of Ischia, but it is tho favorite retort. Fiore, the largest town, has a population of 8,000. Then comes Ischia with 6,100 aud Casamicciola with between four and five thousand. The view from tho mountain is especially fine. The scenery is pictur esque, rocky crags and streamlets and hillsides covered with vines adding to the natural beauty of the place. The blue waters of the Gulf of Naples, wilh fishing boats darting hero and there, wash the shore of tho island; and in the distance may ho seen the mainland, dotted with whitewashed villas and surrounded by groves and vineyards. ISCIIIA. Ischia is certainly of volcanic origin. Its coasts are steep and rocky. Near its centre is the volcana Kpornco, 2,500 feet above the sea. There are also twelve smaller volcanoes. Tho inter vening valleys are of extraordinary fertility, producing corn, wine aud Iruits in abundance. The Castle of Ischia stands 011 a high isolated rock of volcanic tufa and ashes. THE LAST EARTHQUAKE. In March, 1881, Casamicciola was partially destroyed by an earthquake. The shock lasted seven seconds. It was accompanied by a uoiso like s terrancan thunder. Then came the crash of falling houses, mingling with the shrieks of victims. Mothers were found with infants still clinging to their hrcastu. At the Villa Caoimetti two girls, who were playing on a door-step, were struck dead by the falling archi trave. Two hundred houses were thrown dowu and many others were 1 damaged and made uninhabitable. The loss of life was not nearly so large as on this occasion, but more than a hun dred men, women and children perish ed. About three hundred people were injured. A PANIC. The panic spread through the whole island. Steamers were sent from Naples with physicians, nurses and medical supplies. A detachment of military also was ordered to the spot and did admirable .:rvice. The popu lation tied in terror to the surrounding country and along the sea coast. It was first supposed the disaster w as connected with the partial eruption of A'esuvius, which occurred two days be fore. But Professor Palmieri stated that siesmographic instruments gave no indications, whence he was inclined to think that the catastrophe was due to some local phenomenon, possibly to a sudden sinking ot the ground through subterranean cc rosion, caused by con tinued working of mineral waters. Shortly before the [6rst shock of the earthquake mineral springs were ob served to be in a state of ebullition. TIE EARTHQUAKE OF 1828. Another earthquake occurred at Casa micciola in February, 1828. A 9 the morning broke Vesuvius sent forth smoke, flame and stones, but the springs in the Campagna gave no indications, as they usually do, before an eruption. Their temperature remained unchang ed, although seven hours previously slight quakings occurred at several places in the Kingdom of Naples. Suddenly, at fifteen minutes after 10 A. M., three loud explosions wero heard on the coasts of Casamicciola as if they came from beneath upward, or from the interior of the Eporneo volcano out ward. In three seconds a fatal un dulatory shock came, laying a part of the town in ruins and killing a number of people. OTHER FAMOUS EARTHQUAKES. Casamicciola is in one of the two great earthquake zones, the other dis trict being the western portion of South America. In no century since the earliest recorded history has Southern Italy and Sicily escaped sutiering from frequent and severe earthquakes. In Sicily, in 1 (>93, (<O,OOO people perished in one rthquake. During the reign of Tiberius, 16 A. I)., 120,000 people lost their lives in one day in conse quence of an earthquake. The earth quake attended with the most serious results in the destruction of human life was that of 536, when 250,000 human beings perished, according o Gibbon's figures. Andoch, which had previous ly been destroyed at least twice, and several other Syrian cities, were com pletely destroyed, and the shock ex tended into Italy, where great damage to life and property resulted. In 63 Herculaneum and Pompeii wero de stroyed by an earthquake, this being sixteen years before the burial of those cities by the eruption of Vesuvius. The city of Judea was destroyed iu .'sl I*. C., when 10,000 people lost their lives. THE MOST FAMOUS. The most famous earthquake of his tory was that at Lisbon, Nov. 1, 1755, when 40,000 people were buried alive and 30,000 more were killed. Calabria, Me ssini, and a number of smaller vil lages were destroyed February 5, 1783, and some 100,000 lives were lost. In 1825 Mureia, Spain, was destroyed, 3,500 houses being thrown down and a couple of thousand people being killed. Lima and its harbor, C'allao, in Peru, were destroyed in 1586, and again in 1716, and thousands perished. Are- 1 quipa, I'eru, was wiped out of existence in 1868, 50,000 people being left home less, and several thousands losing their lives. In the same year the cities of Ibarra and Ottavalla were destroyed, and not one of their 10,000 inhabitants escaped, or could ever bo found after ward. Catocachy was also obliterated from the face of the earth, and a lake now covers the spot where it stood. In that earthquake the United States war vessel Wateree was carried from the harbor of C'aliao two miles inland. The famous earthquake which devastated and depopulated Callao in 1782, con tinued at intervals for four years. It took but three minutes for an earth quake to make the entire city of Port Royal, Jamaica, a complete wreck iu ]692, and even loss time for the de struction of San Salvador, in the West Indies, March 10, 1K73. The city of Mendoza, in the Argentine Republic, was destroyed and 12,000 pcopio killed by a shock of but a moment's duration iu March, 1861. DETAILS OF THE EARTHQUAKE NAPLES, July 31. —The search of the ruins for the bodies of the victims of the earthquake at Jschia was continued during the night. All the bodies re covered were buried immediately, to prevent miasma. An eye witness describes the scene at the theater ut Cassamicdola whim tho earthquake occurred UH an awful one, The curtain hud just risen when a tremendous shock wan felt. A fearful roar followed, and the ground rocked like a sea in aHtorm.

A Horso Choked by a Snake. From the Klmira Advertiser. Superintendent Lyon, of the Barclay Coal Mines, was in the city on Wed nesday, and told an A<hu;rlift;r reporter tho follovviog snake story, the authen ticity of which, he said, could be vouch ed for by several reliable citizens : "Qn Tuesday last a boy was engaged in plowing ou the farm of M man named Wilkinson, between Greenwood and Monroeton, in Bradford county, when he saw an enormous black snake lying stretched along on the ground near the fence. Frightened by tho reptile tho boy dropped the line and started on a run for the house. Reinforced here by several members of the family he went back, when one of the horses was found lying on the ground with the python tightly coiled about his neck. The snake was dispatched, when it was found that, the horse was dead, his life having been choked out by the snake. Col. Ingersoll avoids stating his belief as to the existence of God. He said that he was "combating tho idea that there is a harsh, blood-thirsty and revengeful deity, who delighted in tho pains of the inquisition and derives genuiue enjoyment from tho tortures ol the wicked in the lake of ftro known as hell."

The Bth verse of the CXVIIth Psalm is the middle verse of the bible. The 9th verse of Yllth chapter of Esther is the longest verse; 35th verse, Xlth chapter of St. John is the short est. In the CVIIth Psalm four verses are alike, the Bth, 15th, 21st and 31st. Each verse of the CXXXVIth Psalm ends alike. No names or words with more than six syllables are found iu the bible. The XXXYIth chapter of Isaiah and XlXth chapter of 2d Kings are alike. The word "girl" occurs but once in the bible, and that in the 3d verse and Illd chapter of Joel. There are found in both books of the bible 3,- 556,483 letters, 773,693 words, 31,373 verses, 1,189 chapters and 66 books.
