The Kansas Earthquake., On tho afternoon of 'April 2-tth a shock of an earthquake was felt through Western Missouri and Kan sas, being particularly noticeablo along the Missouri river border of tho two States. Leaven worth, Law rence, Junction City, Kansas City and St. Joseph were "favored" with decided shocks, causing cousidfra ble affright in those places. The Leavenworth JiullcHn gives tlie fol lowing account of the sensation in that town : W e were sitting at our office win dow In tho third story ef a brick building. A general trembling of the building and rattling of the windows, quite unusual, first attract ed our attention. It felt like tho result of rolling barrels upon tho lower floor. Then came a pause of a few seconds, followed In- a ticni- Tbliug and vibrating motion of the whole building, in such a forcible manner as to impress every one of the imminent danger of its falling. Compositors fled their cases, and every one sought the street forsafo ty ; and what was true of this ofllce was also true of the entire city, so far as we could see. Blanched, fa ces and trembling hands were the rule, steady nerves the exception, I among the crowd that so hastily ! found their way to the street, i The sensation called to mind that produced by the breaking of on , axle under a moving train.
