made by my family were very similar to those made at the 
distinct rattling of the windows. 
Some in the village described the noise as like that made by 
the echo following the discharge of acannon. It is generally 
a understood that it occurred a little after three o’clock in the after- 
‘hoon. I can find no one, however, who was particular to note 
the time.” 
“ At Pendleton about five miles southwest of this, the obser- 
vations made were the same as at this place, in regard to the 
_ Shock and its accompaniments. My informant says it occurred 
there precisely at 3 o’clock.” 
_ “It may not be amiss to state that we had another shock here 
in the early part of January (1858) about ten or eleven P. M. 
It was slighter than that in Oct., and was accompanied by the 
same dull, heavy, rumbling sound, and a perceptible shaking of 
windows, doors, &c. I was partly asleep at the time, but thor- 
oughly aroused by the same.’ 
rof. Dewey of Rochester University, writes, “I have no in- 
formation to give. The earthquake was distinct at Lockport 
about 84 o’clock p.m. It was noticed at Medina I heard, and at 
tavia, as well as at Brockport. It was said to have been 
noticed here, but I could not find any clear evidence of the fact.” 
The Principal of the Brockport Collegiate Institute, writes, 
“The shock of an earthquake was very sensibly felt here on the 
23d of Oct. last by many persons.” Base 
Rev. Dr. Samuel H. Cox, Chancellor of Ingham University, 
at Leroy, N. Y., writes, “In relation to your inquiry touching 
the earthquake, said to have occurred in all this region, on 
Friday, Oct. 23d, 1857, I can only say, not from my own con- 
_ Sciousness, or memory, but from the concurrent testimony of 
many others, that a sensible terra motus was realized here an 
in many other places, on that afternoon. = 
Several of the young ladies of the University, some then at 
ouses in the vicinity, declare their sensations at the time, all 
> playing alone. The shock made the windows rattle and was 
Tepeated after a few moments.’
