An Old Kentucky Earthquake e thought my horse was about to die, and would have sprung from his back had a minute more elapsed, but at that instant ail the shrubs and trees began to move from their very roots, the ground rose and fell In successive furrows, like the ruffled waters of a lake, and I became bewildered in my Ideas, as I too plainly discovered that all this awful commotion in nature was the result of an earthquake. The fearful convulsion, however, lasted only a few minutes, and the heavens again brightened as quickly as they had become obscured; my horse brought his feet to their natural position, raised his head and galloped off as if loose and frolicking without a rider. Shock succeeded shock almost every day or night for several weeks, diminishing, however, so gradually as to dwindle away into mere vibrations of the earth. Strange to say, I for one became so accustomed to the feeling as rather to enjoy the fears manifested by others. The earthquake produced more serious consequences in other places.
