A message frem Messina reports that fragments of solidified lava from Mount Etna have fallen' as far away as Giardin Taormina and are lying thickly in the ground there. The largest stream of lava, over thirty feet deep, is advancing at the rate of twenty-five yards an hour and destroying everything in its path. The villages of Picciolo, Pailamellata and Ferro have been completely buried while the town of Linguaglossa is now encircled by four streams of lava one of which is encroaching upon it. Fissures have ap peared in various places in the locality.
