Within the last 1000 years five eruptions of Hecla
have taken place simultaneously with the eruptions
of Vesuvius, and four with those of Etna, and in 17663
with both Etna and Vesuvius. Mount Etna is in N.
lat: 379, 40, 31, east longitude 150 Mount Vesu-
vius is in N. lat. 40, 48 E long 149, 27These
are the latitudes and longitudes of the Cach.
Mount Hecla is of less height than
the
mountains of this State. Mount Vesuvius is about as
high as the Kattskill mountains. Etna is neat 11,000
feet in height. Hecla is in lat. 63, N. long: 20.W.

Thus it appears that the difference in the distance
of 259 of latinide, and near 40 degrees of longitude
was not sufficient to prevent the influence of each
of these volcanos upon the others: it may not, there-
fore,obe thought surprising that our atmosphere

Thus we demonstrate that the atmosphere was extensively affected by the earthquake at Memphis and that a storm was also a companion of the phenomena. Our good friend, Mr.CHALEC, of the Journal of Commerce, will now most assuredly be satisfied that the editorial comment from his pen appended to pur communication published in that paper of the 13th of January, 1846, in which He says It is very unsay arely upon asmete coincidence bf Time, as showing any connection between events occurring at far distant places, and having so far as we know, no natural connection with each other. e 18 0 18 7oto

ERUPTIONS OF HECLA TN 1846. Letters from Iceland, received at Copenhagen, state that a great misfortune has befallen' that country in consequence of the present eruptions of Hecla: a fatal malady having attacked the cattle, from eating herbage which had been covered with the volcanfe ashes. These ashes act more particularly on the bones of the animals which have swallowed them. Thus, on the bones of the feet there are formed, in less than twenty-four hours, osseous excrescences an oblong form, which gradually assume so formidable a developement that they prevent the beasts from walking: the same phenomenon is then manifested in the lower jaw which is at the same time enlarged, and extends in all directions so considerably, that i eventually splits in several places whilst on the teeth of the upper jaw there is formed a species of osseous needles, very long, and pointed, which take root in the lower jaw, and even reverse it philse" of the malady which always déterminé a fatal issue. A high winds had prevailed for sofhe time, the volcanic ashes were scattered through the island and a great number of cattle, especially oxen, cows, and sheep, have perished nf the eruption of Heela is prolonged for two montha more, all the rural proprietors who have not hay enough to keep their herds and the majority are in this situation will be obliged either to slaughter, their cattle or to abandon them to certain death on the pastires thus poisoned by the volcanic ashes, The eruption of Mount Hecla was extremely violent. The flames which issued from the three great craters, attained a height of 14,100 feet and their breadth exceeded the greatest breadth of the river Picersen, the most considerable River in Iceland, The lava had already formed lofty mountains; and amongst the massess of stone vomited by the volcano and, which have been found at a distince of threefourths of a mile, there were some which weighed half a ton. By the eruption of Hecla, the enormous quantities of snow and ice which had accumulated for several years on the sides of that mountain have melted, and partly fallen into river Rangun, which has overflowed its banks several timesThe Waters that river, which runs almost at the foot of Mount Hecla, and which receives a large portion of the Burning lava, were so hot that every day they ca the bank numbers of dead trout, almost half baked Every night, vivid streaks of the aurora borealis illu mined the sky.

I thought at the time, the electric fluid had come in contact with the wires very near where I stood; but upon inquiry and by personal observations, I am led to believe the fluid struck the wires about three quarters of a mile West of the village; for at that place the wires are broken and four of the poles are con siderably shattered 3.7 3.7 0.065 1696 1
