The late earthquakelat Maeile, Phil. lippiue Islands, was of a terrific) charm, - tor., One message reported a succes- sion of fearful shocks, and shortly afterwards came the announcement that Manila was in mine, and All busi- ness, suspended for the time. "We are living on boats on the river." wired a bank manager, "and the telegraph of - lice is wrecked." The other day the steamer Esmeralda arrived at this port from Manila.' The accounts she brings aro terrible beyond description. There have not been. three snail earthquakes since the city was founded in the six. teeuth century. It seems there had been some threatening rumblings for several days, and ou' Sunday, about noon, at the time .when most of the in- habitants were sitting over their break- fasts, the first great shook occurred, and the not moment the streets were filled with terrified people. The shook lasted for seventy Bermuda, and the damage done in that short time was immense. Houses fell among the shrieking people in the streets, strong buildings creaked and tottered and the tiles came down like rain. An iron ship, which four years before had beeu sunk in the river during a typhoon and which it had since been found impos- sible to raise, was lifted high out of the water, her iron masts were seen to top• ple over her side, and she sauk back again out of sight. In the midst of all these horrors, the accounts which have reached • us of the slight loss of life, border ou the marvelous. Only 50 or 60 natives are reported killed, and no foreighners. One gentlemau, a clerk at *Messrs. Kele, Hubbell & Co.'s, the largest American house in the place, is reported dangerously injured, and that, up to Thursday morniug, was the only acculeut among the Europeans that had thee taken place. They were (sit- ting at the table when it occurred, and the rest succeeded in gaining the ver- andah aud thence clambered down iu- to the street. All in the hoose at the time except this unfortunate gentleman escaped, but the shock was so sudden and severe that it portion of the house fell on hien before he could get clear of it. As an instance of the miraculous salvation of human life, a gentleman of my acqu iintance seeseeded somehow in gettiug himself, wife aud six children into the street, but at the end uf the 70 seconds his bowie was so complete a rubs that out of $3,000 worth of fur- uiture, there was not the value of $100 left. The Captain of the "Esmeralda," sitting at his table ou that memorable Suuday, felt himself thrown suddenly across it, experienced a sensation as if the bed of the river had risen up and struck the vessel a sudden blow, and felt her pitching under hini as if the ordivarily peaceful river were a tur- bulent and stormy ocean. The next day, he tells me, he drove through the town and found the ruin even more hopeless than he had couceived. Little mat -roofed houses, which formerly rented for five dollars per month, had gone up to $200. Tobacco and sugar storehouses were dowu, and their con- tents bulled in the ruius. Fortunately, uo rain or fire had occurred up the tittle of the steamer leaving IVIanila,end it is probable that the damage to goods in store will not be very heavy. All this took place on Sunday, and from that tine until the following Tuesday the shocks were slight but frequent. But on Tuesday, just as the "Emelt. sada" was steaming oat cf the river, the Captain folt his ship hi violent oommotiou, saw the waters of the river surging and boiling under him, looked towards the town, he saw the spires and towers of the immense cathedral toppling down, saw the houses wreath- ing and twisting, and falling in all di- reotiens, and theu dense clouds of duet shut out the city from his view, and that was his last recollection of it. Mr. A. W. Sloan, of Blyth, met with a curious accident on Tuesday last. While returning home in the storm, the lightning struck him somewhere in the region of the eye, stuaniug him for several hours. He is better, but still feels the effect of the shook. That old Irish lady,s salve has been ordered to Ireland lately, it has gone to Germany, England, very !ugly to the United States and the Dominion. It ni curing all sores ot ndl kinds, and of all ogee. Write Revd. Ms, Atkinson, Ailsa Craig, send stamps and find out t41itbout it. DUPED AND OUTRAGED. UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE OF AN INNO- CENT MEAD/AN GIRL. During the fall of 1876 a young wo- man named Catherine MtKay, whose family reside at Longwood station. Ont., arrived at Lexington, Mich., and secured employment as a domestic in the Cadillac Hotel. A (short time thereafter one George W. Brooks, travelling salesman and collector for James Nall's fanuing millet, arrived at the botel. Katie, who was a 'young and innocent country girl, i.bout 20 years of age, unfortunately proved an attracting victim to the lures of this man, whose age is 50 years, and on December 25, 1876, as she claims, they were married by a man represented to her by Brooks as Elder Brown, of the Aletbodist Church, at a hotel in Davis- ville. From thence they went to Imlay Oity, where they boarded uhtil it be- cause evident that an addition to the family would require home aoomn- modations, and the pair weut to house- keeping. The result of the union, a little boy baby, died in April, 1870, aged abont four months. After the birth of the child the mother was taken ill, and was under a. physician's care for sveral months. During all these three years of matrimonial it appears that Brooks treated her with great kinduess—she had never been to Detroit, and frequently asked him the reason why he would not take her to the city during his business trips. To a late request of this kind, he made a reply intimating to her that he bad special reasons for not allowing her that pleaaure. • Soon afterward he left her, and nothing more was heard from him un- til she came to Detroit, and to her great amazement learned that Brooks had married his second wife (his first wife lieiug dead) July 8, 1b75, the wedding certificate showing that on that date R. 13. Desroches, officiating minister, married him and Annie Hardy, both of Detroit, in the presence of Leon Lallement and Ernest Des - recites, and that since the union she had had several childreu by him. A warrant was iasued for the arrest of Brooks on a charge of failure to sup- port his wife, Catharine McKay _Brooks. He was arrested but the authorities de- cided that as Annie Hardy was Brook's present legal wife, Catharine McKay could not hold hien to support her as his wife, and he was therefore compel- led to show the discharge of the prisorler, in doing which he expressed his opinion that Brooks was a "most uumitigated scoundrel"—all of which the latter accepted with brazen effron- tery. A Fatal Ride. A few evenings ei0O0, five young men risiding in Lowell, Mass., wile had been attending the Caletioniau picnic at Andover, took the traiu for Lowell. Either for lack of money or for sport they clambered to the top of a passenger car. When the train reacheh Sprague's Bridge, two miles from the city, all five were swept off and killed. At the time it was only known that one had met his death in this manner; this was John Shinnick, aged 16. Ile WES thrown down be- tween the cars, where the conductor found him. He lived about twenty minutes. The body was sent to Lowell and indentified. Some tiine after the trackman found the body of others lying iu the ditches, three on one side of the track and one on the other. A. freight train was sent from the city and brought them in abont midnight. They were Wm. Maher, 15; John Mc, Namara, 16; Timothy Nolan, 17; Pat- rielt Ryan, 15. There is a tiptoe of 22 inches between the care and the bridge, and it is therefore conjectured that the lade were sitting up when struck. Pro- bably all but Shinniok died almost in- stantly, as their wounds oxi the head and back were terrible, During the storm of Wednesday a cyclone swept over Little Neck, Great Neck aud Creedenoor, L. I., a mile wide and seven long, A hundred acres of corn were destroyed. Henry Cox's farm at Little Neck was wholly devasted.' A middle aged well.tedo farmer from near Blyth, named Hay, while trying to get on a train at the G. W. R. station, Woodstock, Monday eveuing, missed his hold and fell, ond foot get- ting beneath the wheals. The foot was amputated, DomLnion. A young son of Mr. J, Billings, of Si. Mary's, was last week severely bit. ten by a dog on the right leg. The new Normal School at Ottawa is completed, and was opened on 1st September. It oast $30,000.

The Deputy -Receiver - General has got in a large supply from the Mint, and is giviug it out in ex- change for bills. Last week Engineer Truman, of the Moeretown branch, C. S. R., telescop- ed a drove of cattle on the down trip, killing six of them in as many seconds. 0 Thuraday last tweuty-seven young women, paupers, left the Dublin, Ire- land, Workhouse for Canada, acoomp. allied by the matron. Mr. Vennor predidts heat again for a brief period of the present cold spell, about the lst September, followed by very cold nights with sharp frosts. there are indications, he says, of a good deal of rain for SepteMber. At Brockville, IVIr. O. Adams, of Spencerville, an agent of G. ill, Gossett & Bro., white sleepiug at Mr, Cossett'e residence on Friday night, blew out the gas, and was found senseless on the floor of his room in the morning, and is in a dying state. Mr. Wm. Donnelly was engaged last week in serving subpoenas on the wit- nesses for the Crown to attend the Donnelly trial at the Assizes which opeu in London on the 20th of Sep- tember. On Saturday morning on accident of a very serious nature occurred on the Dundee road, near Guelph. As Messrs. Robt. Ward and David Sharpe were in the trench laying a pipe to the Model Farm the bank caved in on them. The earth and rock in falling knocked Ward of out the way, but in doing so saved Sharpe from being buried altogether. As soon as the alarm was given willing bands at once went to work to extricate Sharpe from his position. On the earth being removed it was found that the unfortunate men was severly injur- ed. lie was at ouce removed to his home, aud Dr, Keating was called to examine him. When it was found that his collar bone was broken. The Indian Department has received information that a virulent type of small -pox prevails amongst the Tetu- bull Indians ou the desert reserve.

It has sinoe been found necessary to remove the injured eye, which operation has beeu success- fully performed. Quebec Chronicle:—It is reported that Mr. Olivier Roohette,of Si. Recife, is negotiating with Mr. P. V. Vella, ship builder, to buy his ship yard, for the purpobe of erecting thereon a vast eboe factory. Mr, Dassylva dit Porta- gais 15 also reported to be ou the eve of erection of a new factory. The Winnipeg Times has received a letter from a Canadian resideut of Ot- ter Tail county, Minnesota, iu which the following paesitge occurs:—"I want to go to Manitoba as soon as 3. can. There are quite a few Canadians here with myself, who are heartily sick of this country, and want to get under the old flag agaiu, Our lack of MORES is the only cause of delay."

A. terrific runaway ensued. The pole of the wagon slipped and the wag- on itself tuned upside down with Mr. Harrison underneath. Mrs. George Stephen, wife of the President of the Bauk of Montreal, has just received a letter from the Queen, thanking her for the care taken by her of Prince Leopold during his recent sickness. The Prince was for some- time at Mr. Stephen's residence on the Lower St. Lawrence, and received from himself and Mes. Stephen all the attention possible during his illness.

On Friday a lady residing on Os- borne street, Montreal, was tatting in an upstairs department wheu suddenly she was confronted by a maniac grind- ing his teeth and shaking his fist in her face. She was terribly frightened and fled to the street where she was found by her husband, who, fortunate- ly, appeared just then.
