Earthquake Destroys a Mexican Town

A despatch from Mexico City, dated June 19, relates that Tecalitlan, a town of 5,000 inhabitants in the State of Jalisco, was completely destroyed by an earthquake on June 14. On June 18, 15,000 people, it is said, took the images from the churches and paraded the streets all day and far into the night at Zapotlan. Two died from exhaustion in the religious excitement.
