ANOTHER SHOCK.
Haverhill, Mass., Aug. 11.—A shock of
earthquake was felt this morning at Mount
Washington. The shock rattled chande-
liers and opened inside blinds and awak-
ened people from their slumber. It was
not noticed in the centre of the city, but
was felt in Georgetown.
IN NEW ENGLAND.
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 11.—Reports from
Norfolk, Litchfield County, say a second
at severe shock of earthquake was noticed
several places in that town at II o’clock
Sunday night, but it was much lighter
than the one in the afternoon.
Entered at the Jacksonville Post Office
as Second-Class Mail Matter.
UNIVERSITY REGENTS.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 9.—The University
Regents met to-day and elected Professor
Geo. B. Halstead, of New Jersey, to the
chair of mathematics, made vacant by the
resignation of Professor Leroy Brown.
Professor Halstead is a graduate of Prince-
ton College, and is at present a professor
at Harvard.
The Regents also settled finally with
the contractor of the building, paying him
$2000, and rejecting claims for extra work
amounting to several hundred dollars.
They also agreed to pay the City Water
Company the price of the material used in
running pipes to the building, but de-
clined to pay the bill presented for fire
protection.
The board adjourned to meet again on
September 13.
On yesterday the Regents sent a com-
munication to the Governor asking if he
had any suggestions to offer to the board.
He had a conference with several of the
leading members last night, at which he
suggested the idea plainly prevalent for
some time that the ignoring of Texas tal-
ent in selecting professors is giving dis-
satisfaction in some quarters and may have
the effect to antagonize the educational in-
terests of the State against the university.
This was offered merelj’ as a suggestion
and not in the spirit of dictation. He also
cautions the Regents against getting into
debt by incurring liabilities greater than
their income.
The Board of Regents dined with the
Governor this afternoon, and it is notice-
able that the greatest cordiality of feeling
exists between the Executive and the
board.

I announce myself as a candidate for
county clerk, and am subject to your de-
cision in November next. In making this
announcement I claim no superior merit
above my fellows who have made it a
point in lite to be good citizens. Having
lived in old Cherokee all my life, except-
ing three years when a child, and during
the civil war; my family having been
identified with this neighborhood for at
least one hundred years, surely I ought to
be acquainted with my fellow citizens
and they ought to know me. But for the
benefit of those with whom I have not the
honor of acquaintance, I will here say that
I am the first one of the name that has
presumed to ask a gift at your hands. For
further information I will take pleasure in
referring to my neighbors; and to those
who would investigate my war record as
well, I would ask them to confer with the
survivors of Company I. 1st Tex., Reg.,
Hood Brig., A.N, Va. They have a record.
It was Lee at the Wilderness who felt
himself honored when he attempted to
lead the Texans in the grandest charge of
the war.
Fellow citizens my object in asking this
gift at your disposal is a laudable one, it
will enable me to educate my children,
thereby promoting the good of our coun-
try, and you will ever be held in faithful
remembrance for the same by your hum-
ble servant.
—“Them’s mine—don’t put that on your
book—I will pay you next time I come to
town.” Now, we have accommodated
you, and we expect you to pay us accord-
ing to promise; for we can not pay for
whisky withjpromises. Weave in need of
money to pay for onr goods, and those in
arrears with us will do well to come for-
ward and pay up all back dues without
further notice, and oblige

In the judicial convention held at Pales-
tine for the district composed of the coun-
ties of Houston, Anderson and Henderson,
the delegates from Houston and Hender-
son combined to slaughter Mr. R. Mc-
Clure, the candidate for district judge from
Anderson county. The democracy of
Anderson county had formally agreed, as
Well as we remember, to support the can-
didate for representative in the floatorial
district composed of Anderson and Hender-
son, who should be nominated by Hender-
son county. That county held a primary
election and nominated Dr. W. C. Larkin,
of Athens, for floater. But when the floa-
torial convention assembled, at Athens,
Anderson county put her blade to Dr.
Larkin, and he was as summarily dispatch-
ed as was Mr. McClure at Palestine, and
Henderson county, being committed to
Dr. Larkin by the result of the primary
election, had to stick to him, and the re-
sult was that J. G. McReynolds, of Nech-
esville, was nominated. If Mr. McRey-
nolds should be elected, Anderson county
will have two representatives in the legis-
lature, and Henderson none. But, if
Henderson county should put out a strong
independent candidate, as will likely be
done, it will require hard work and skill-
ful management on the part of Mr. Mc-
Reynolds’ friends to secure his election.

Major Pen says he would rather be the
evangelist that he is than president of the
United States. All parts of the United
States have not been heard from yet, but,
as far as reports have been recieved there
has been no disposition manifested to rav-
ish the Major with the presidential office.
If an earthquake like that which rocked
the foundations of Long Island and other
points on the 10th, were to caress the good
town of Jacksonville, how many of her
citizens would take interest enough in the
phenomenon to come outside of their
houses on an investigating expedition ?
A correct solution of this conundrum will
be suitably rewarded.
The State Grange met at Harmony
Hall in Galveston on the 12th inst., and
after the house was called to order, R. L.
Fulton, Mayor of the City, delivered an
address of welcome, after which the body
proceeded to organize for business. At
the night session Prof. Denwiddieaddress-
ed the members.
It is now stated that the surving mem-
bers of the Greeley expedition, when at
the point of starvation, made their meals
off of the earcases of their dead comrades.
It is hinted that private Henry, one of the
expenition, was shot by the party, and
his body converted into rations. A long,
tedious and expensive “investigation” by
congress will now be in order to white-
wash the matter over.
THE SOUTHERN EXPOSITION AT
LOUISVILLE, KY.
The enterprise, energy, and liberality of
the city of Louisville have been wonder-
fully exhibited in the Southern Exposi-
tion. This is the largest enterprise ever
organized and maintained in this country
by individual efforts.
This year its attractions are amazing. It
has Cappa’s and Gilmore’s Bands from
New York, thus assuring the most beauti-
ful music in the world.
The Art Gallery will comprise the
choicest selection of American pictures
ever gathered together in America.
The buildings cover 15 acres.
The Live Stock exhibit will eclipse any-
thing the world ever saw. London’s
Royal Stock Show Jed anything of the
kind previously made, but Louisville’s
Southern Exposition will hereafter head
the list of stock exhibits.
Ono million dollar® worth of horses will
stand in line, no less than an eighth of a
mile in length. It is a sight worth many
miles of travel to see.
The fire-works will be in charge of
James Paine, of London, with whom, at
great expense, an arrangement has been
made to produce in Louisville, pyrotech-
nic displays fully equal to those given at
the royal exhibitions in Europe, and at
Coney Island where hundreds of thou-
sands witnessed them nightly. The
grandeur of Paine’S exhibitions can not
be described. They must be seen to be
, appreciated. Each evening’s exhibition is
closed with some splendid scene, like the
Bombardment of Alexandria, Battle of
Yorktown, Pyramids of Egypt, etc.
There is to be a great competitive mili-
tary drill, and other features of no less
merit.
The Exposition will open August 16,
close October 25, and railroad tickets from
all points to Louisville and return may be
had for one fare.
On the 9th of September that portion of
Smith county embracing White House,
Canton and Troupe, will vote on the pro-
hibition law.

Conn'ty Jsrdge Whitman sends tip a
recommendation that the citizens of our
school district (No. 46}, the boundaries of
which we publish in another column, hold
a meeting on the fourth Saturday in Au-
gust, for the purpose of electing three
trustees for the public free white school of
this district. The now school law pro-
vides explicitly that such trustees “ shall
be elected by the qualified voters, at a
school district meeting for that purpose,
on the first Saturday in August of each
year/’ It further provides that “ the com-
missioners* court shall appoint three per-
sons to hold such election, who shall make
returns of same within five days after to
the county judge, and if no election is
held, the county judge shall at once ap-
point three trustees for said district for the
ensuing year.” If the commissioners’
court has complied with the law in this
respect we are not aware of it; certain it
is, however, that no election bag been
held, and we are requested to give notice
that a meeting of the qualified voters of
the district will be held in Jacksonville,
on next Tuesday the 19th inst., for the
purpose of electing trustees, and recom-
mending them to the county judge for
his appointment.

A SECOND SHOCK.
The Citizens of Long Islnnd mid
Points In the Enst Treated to
Another Taste of Earth,
quake.
Philadelphia, Aug. 11.—For the first
time since January 8,1817, a very percep-
tible shock of earthquake was felt yester-
day afternoon. It was about of ten sec-
onds’ duration. The strongest buildings
in the city were shaken and rickety chim-
neys toppled over on the roofs, and bricks
tumbled down upon the pavements, and
in all parts of the city plaster fell from the
ceilings in houses. In some instances
people were prostrated upon the floors of
their dwellings. Everywhere the populace
became excited. Every house in tlie city
was affected more or less, their occupants
running into tlie street, thinking a terri-
ble explosion had taken place. A few mo-
ments later three-fourths of the entire
population were in the streets, eagerly
discussing the affair. Shipping was like-
wise affected by tlie shock. Large ships
loading with petroleum in tlie Schuylkill
River snapped their hawsers and were on-
ly prevented from going ashore by the
efforts of their crews. Several large
steamers were thrown heavily against the
wharves in the lower section of the city
and tlie crews thrown out of their bunks.
Huge waves, backed up by the rising tide,
overflowed many wharves and consider-
able property was flooded thereby. Deep-
ly laden steamers lying in the Delaware
trembled, without any apparent injury,
during the existence of tlie shock.
A PARTING KICK.
Far Rockaway, L. I., Aug. 11.—Anoth-
er shock of earthquake was felt in villages
along the southside of Long Island this
afternoon, not so heavy as yesterday but
sufficient to cause excitement. The court
house siiook several seconds. The crock-
ery on the hotel tables rattled and some
mashed, making the guests start from
their seats. The shock was felt here about
12:10. A few minutes later the big hotel
on Rockaway Beach was shaken, the
doors and windows rattling loud enough
to be beard a considerable distance. Other
doors of outer buildings closed with force.
Hempstead, South Oyster Bay, Long
Beach, Woodsbnry and other places re-
ported similar experience.
AT LONG ISLAND.
Long Island City, Aug.* 11.—The earth-
quake yesterday caused the brick chim-
neys of two houses to fall at East Nor-
wich. The Presbyterian Sunday School
at Jamaica had its walls cracked one to
two inches in width, extending from tlie
roof to the foundation. A colored camp-
meeting in Feet’s woods was broken up
by tlie shock; all in attendance being on
tlieir knees at the time jumped up shout-
ing and ran from the woods to their
homes.
Will open on the first Monday in Sep-
tember, 1884, and continue for ten months.
Fall Term from the first of September to
last of January. Spring Term from tlie
first of February to tlie last of June.
