Amid the Excitement of the moment many incidents, some of them of a very serious character, and others more calculated to provoke laughter than tears occurred. Some of these incidents have been hurriedly gathered together, and we present tliem as"they come to hand. great racks, containing some two thousand tons of iron, were badly sprung, and the bars thrown putward and eastward very perceptibly. Ponderous stacks Cjf iron bars, in various portions of the store, were thrown down and floored togethef in admirable confusion,  Boxos of nails, piled up at the head of the stairs, were pitched down as if they had been so many wooden toys. The furiousness of the shock was everywhere apparent among the mass of weighty matter, which ono would have thought, before this disaster, immovable. A Siiobt Lovs Stoby.—Here is a story jne Morgan, a sea captain, concernini husband at sea, which may afford • tioDifb bio to young ladies: 103 MURRAY, near WEST St. GEO. W. BBAINEBD,) David belden }• new York. ELI8HA W.BAXTER J Single ladies cross the water tinder special care of the captain of the ship, and a lore affair occurs among the passengers, I 'Captain is" usually a confidant of one both parties. A very fascinating yo lady had been placed under Morgan's oare, three young gentlemen foil desperately In ! with her. They were all equally agreea and the young lady was puzzled which to courage, fftje asked the captain's advioi " Come on deck," he said, "the first day perfectly calm. The gentlemen will of co be near you. F dhall'have a boat loWe and do you jump overboard, and see whic the gentlemen will jump after you. I take care of you." G. B. SMITH Importer of Broodies, Wines, (Sins, Ac., 4c., Ac., Ho. 191 West Street, 1 de'fc'rftbove Puane St., N£»W-YORK, t. L. CPllttSi. c- CP,T"*' Several of the bathers at the North Beach Sanitarium Bath House took to the street hab iled in the severely classic costume in vo gu« in the Garden of Eden before tho introduction of the flg leaf aprons, creating a profound sensation among the outside barbarians. Tho Rev. Mr. Crisis was preaching to his usual congregation of scoffing idlers, in Sacramento street, near Montgomery,,when, the shock was felt; dropping his documents he started on a foot rncc with his congregation, in a most undignified manner, evidently under the impression that _ what he had keen blowing about through so iqany years had come at last We regret to say that he came back, recovered his papers, renewed his attacks on the clergy, and sales of tho documents, with redoubled energy, to make up for lost tinje. On Bush street, a lady, who was engaged in washing an injant of very tender age, ran screaming into the street She stood on the sidewalk for some time swinging something in her hand, which at first was taken for a dressed chicken by the bystanders, but which began to speak for itself in language which placed it at once in the category of a different class of animated nature. She was holding it by the foot, head downwards,, and had forgotten all about what she had In hand.' An officer of tho city police force; who was changing his clothing in the bascrtTent of the City Ilall when tho shock was felt, started, out Dunbar alley and up Merchant street, endeavoring to draw on his nether under garment as he ran. The higher ho got on the hill the more awkward was the appearance he made and tho greater the sensation he created.J DDR. M.

Jan. 4, JM«.  Biros' New.—There ia one luxury In the matter of foo£l which haa not* yet been introduced into tliifl'country, excepting on the Pacific coast, but in the growing fancy for rare and foreign productions Which prevails among us. and especially when extravagance in orery department of living seems to be the ruling principal with so many, we should not be surprised at the early introduction of birds' nests as an article of diet. It Will perhaps hasten, instead of deferring their introduction, when the enormous price of this delicacy bccooies known. There ia a large class'of persons, not the most sensible class of course, who value everything in proportion to the price that is | put upon it Such persons would be delighted I to know that birds' nests never become an article of food with the vulgar, inasmuch as "they cost at retail in Cfyina, the principal mark- ] ot for them, not less than' twentyflve or thirty dollars a pound, and sometimes more than j this. A dish of birds' nest soup, therefore, could only be indulged in by those who would pay (or a dish of strawberries out of season at the rate of fifty cents a berry, Although the taste for this expensive article is cor&nded almost exclusively to the Chinese, it is not a production of China, as is generally supposed, but of the Indian islands, and is principally found in Java, fn caverns tliat are most frequently situated on th6 sea-coast The nesis are made by a species of swallow peculiar to those islands, known in natural history as hirundo escvlenta. They are made in the same form as the nests of other swallows, but instead of mud ihey are made of a glutinous substance, strongly resembling isinglass in appearance and in texture. AVhat the substance is does not seem to have been fully asocrtained, some maintaining Ibaf it is composed of sea foam or other marine products, while others suppose that it is exuded from the muuth of the bird and is the product of ft* own food which has wholly or partially digested. The nests are not obtained without considerable labor. Being usually found in deep caves along the coasts, they are often inaccessible excepting by the use of ladders from below or above. The most remarkable and productive caves are situated on the south side of the island of Java,and are only to be approached by a perpendicular descent of many hundred feet by ladders made of bamboo and ratan overhanging the sea; which dashes itself violently against the shores in which the caves are found. The caverns are so dark that they must be entered with torches; and great care is required to prevent a precipitate passage into the faging jsurf below. There are different qualities of the nests. The best are those which have not been occupied by the birds, being only just completed. They are quite clean and whiie,' and in this state Are like massed of pure isinglass. Those which have been used by the birds for laying their eggs and hatching and rearing their young are of course impure, and do not bring so high a price in the ' market. The nests require no preparation excepting that of drying, after which they arc assorted into firtt, second, and third qualities, packed in boxes and taken to China, the only country affording a market for them. The Japanese havo no taslte for the article, and even in Java, where they are chiefly produced, they are not held in any estimation for domestic consumption. So highly are they esteetrfed in China, mat at Canton the common price is said to be $3,500 the plcul, or about $30 a pound. The second quality brings about $20 a pound and the third $10 or $12. ' They are consumed only by the wealthy, and the finest of monopolized by the court. A great repugnance is often expressed against their use by those who have never sejn tile article, but it closely resembles in appearance aHii in substance many articles of common consumption in this country, and if all could see, as we have had occasion to, the origin and the manufacture of some of those, articles, we presume they would have much more charity for their Chinese cousins. It is a very old maxim, too, De gustibut nil dit'pufand'um, and although it is said to have originated with a certain old lady who had a fancy to kiss her cow, it has received the indorsement of all the world. Even when we are mctat ready to condemn others for fancying and eating what they like, we nevertheless claim the privilege of being governed in our practice by our own tastes. Tastes chango too, very greatly, and perhaps wo shall yet come to using birds' nett soup .—Journal of Gommyrce. CURTISS & CO., C0RK5B OF LLOYD & PRIME STREETS, buffalo, N.
