Transcript
EARTHQUAKE [In addition to the communication on the same subject published in this paper last week] Friday evening, December 20. On Tuesday, at 15 minutes before 12 o'clock, A.M. a seventh shock of the earthquake was felt. It was short, and so weak as not to be observed by every one. About half past 11 in the morning of this day, it appears, from the concurrent testimony of several citizens, that an eight shock, of a few seconds duration occurred. On Tuesday there was copious rain, with wind from the S.E.-S. & S.W. veering in the evening to the N.W. in which direction it continued till last night. On Wednesday there were slight falls of snow. Since that day the sky has been clear. On Tuesday the thermometer was at 42 degrees; on Wednesday it fell to 23, and yesterday morning and this morning to 18 degrees. Z
