Philadelphia, November 3. On Sunday last, about a quarter
after four in the afternoon, we have a smart shock of an
earthquake here, which so alarmed the congregations of most
of the places of worship in town, that the service was
immediately broke up; but happily no damage ensued.--The
following lines were sent us on the occasion.
Heav'n oft before the fatal bolt is hurl'd,
Gives timely notice to an erring world;
Some lesser woes are harbingers of great
O! Sinners! hear and dread approaching fate!
