to the floor. A number of glasses and cruet stands on the same side- 
board were overturned. Mr. Tilley’s house is built on a deposit of 
clay and gravel. 
Mr. D. L. Hutchinson went to the Observatory before daylight and 
found the standard clock going and in good order. He took a set of 
star observations for time correction and found that the clock was 
correct. 
Bathurst. — Dr. G. M. Duncan says : “ It lasted about twenty seconds. 
Judging by the position of my bed, and the wave-like motion of my 
bed, I concluded that the shock was from southwest to northeast. 
This was followed in about five minutes by a slight tremor quite dis- 
tinct. It was less distinct in Youghal, fifty miles off.” 
St. Stephen. — It would seem as if the shock was felt at St. Stephen 
more severely than in any other part of the province. Several 
chimney tops were thrown to the ground, some bricks were loosened 
from the walls of the Methodist church, and a number of panes of 
glass were broken in the Chipman Memorial Hospital. A locomotive 
in the C. P. R. roundhouse started forward and had to be stopped by 
the driver in charge. One correspondent, in a letter to Prof. W. F. 
Ganong, says ; “ The pictures were hanging cornerwise the next 
morning.” A number of people reported a third shock at six in the 
morning. 
St. Andrews. — The shock was well marked in this town and vicinity. 
In some cases dishes were thrown to the floor and ornaments rolled 
over. On Minister’s Island a crack was made in the corner of the 
stone wall of a house on the VanHorn farm. 
Grand Manan. — One of our corresponding members, Mr. D. I. W. 
McLaughlin, of Grand Harbor, sent me very full notes on the effev''t 
of the shock there. It was not so violent as at St. Stephen.
