Earthquakes in California. Since November 21st, 1852, there have been thirty-two shocks of earthquake within the limits of California. The effects of these continued shocks have been confined principally to the southern section of the State, and have therefore excited but little attention, although entitled to much more than has been elicited. The effects on the deserts have been considerable; so much so that the waters of the New River, the Big Lagoon, and other points of obtaining water, which made their appearance on the surface in 1848 and 1849, have now disappeared, and in their places volumes of sulphurous and effervescent sulphur have appeared.
