The Mayor of Philadelphia offered the enormous reward of twenty thousand
dollars for the recovery of the boy and the arrest of the persons who
had stolen him. Notices of this were printed in every language, and sent
all over the world; but though numbers of people were working to gain
the great reward, Charlie Ross has never been found.

We told you last week of the new volcano which has appeared in Mexico.

The shocks have done a great deal of damage. The town of Tehuantepec has
been completely destroyed, and the people are living in tents on the
outskirts of the place.

Tremblings of the earth still continue to be felt along the Pacific
Coast, and the people are terror-stricken.

One very severe shock was felt in San Francisco, but little damage
resulted from it. Some of the California towns have, however, suffered
severely.

Nature seems to be playing some strange tricks this year.

The French people have been treated to a cyclone.

They seemed to be really indignant over the visitation. They had always
considered that cyclones were American institutions, and never expected
that they would follow the example of American people and find their way
to Paris.
