Looking for Those Things, &c.
By Uriah Smith
THE St. Louis Weekly Globe, of Jan. 14, 1876, contains a lengthy account of the predictions of a professed scientist, M. Victor Herault, who claims that New York is destined to be ere long utterly destroyed by a terrific earthquake, and the rest of the globe be fearfully shaken. He says that New York is situated in the current of the disturbance now manifesting itself in Vesuvius, which is preparing for another eruption, and which Mons. H. predicts will be the most terrible yet experienced. If nothing more, it is perhaps a significant fact that the minds of men are exercising themselves with reference to such events at just this time.
