Transcript
VINCENNES< (I. T.) Dec. 21. Several shocks of an Earthquake have been felt this week-Monday morning last (about 3 o'clock) there were three within a few minutes of each other-another was felt about sun rise and several more that day-more or less have been felt every day since. Much alarm has been excited, but no damage done that we have heard of, except two or three brick chimneys that were cracked, and the roofs of several houses thrown off.
