SEVERE EARTHQUAKE AT
"EVENTSIN AND--TAKU...
For many years past the North of China has been free from earthquakes of an alarining character. But on Wednesday last, (June 13th) the residents of Tientsin and Taku, and also of Chulos, experienced a shock the-violence of which is unprecedented in the memory of the aldest foreign residents. At a quarter to five o'clock in the afternoon there was the first severe shock, Taku and Tientsin experiencing it at the
same time. It lasted one minute and a half and was so bad at Taku that it was difficult to stand without support. The walls of several the houses were cracked, the paper peeling
them, and the falling from cailings Three chimneys fell on Marse, and ornaments from the mantelpieces and brackets were destroyed. The shock at Tientain was less violent, and no serious damage was reported, but the foreigners left their houses for safety. The sensation on the steamers moored at the Band was similar to the vibration of the engines going full speed ahead with the ship ashore, This severe shock was followed by thirteen uthers of a slight nature, and the entire popula- tion were in an alarmed state, the ladies at Take preferring to live in boats on the river rather than stay in their houses. At a quartertotwo o'clock on Thursday afternoon there was a second serious trembling at Taku, which caused great excitement, and our correspondent says that the Chinese predicted another severe one at half past four.; Several of the Chinese houses in Taku village fell completely, and some of the walls of the Government dock also collapse. At Chofoo the violent shock of Wednesday was fell, but no damage was done; und it is coincidence that at the time very rough weather was experienced in Shanghal and outside Woosung.—Shanghai Courier.
