In addition to the fees, each settler will be required to pay $ 1.25 per acre, and upon the full payment of the money due, will be entitled to a patent. Jersey City, NJ Feb 8: Many of the towns and villages in NJ were shaken yesterday by a shock, which on investigation, proved to be an earthquake. It lasted only five or six seconds, but for many hours subsequent to the first rumblings, the residents of the places visited were in a state of consternation bordering on panic. So far as can be ascertained, there was no loss of life. It was confined to Monmouth and Mercer counties. Ed, Phoenix
