EARTHQUAKE, pis a CE Visitation of an Earthquake in Guate- mala—Severe Shocks and Widespread Losses—Thirty-two Persons Said to Have Been Killed, PANAMA, Sept. 26, 1874, mala, sends an account of an earthquake that took place there on at 8:30 P, M. Without any previous warn- ing @ strong earthquake shook the ground violently ina direction from west to east. The movement was a series of strong vertical and horizontal impulses combined. The wave-like un- dulations on the surface rose and fell at least a foot. This acting along with the vertical move- ment made it almost impossible to move about without being thrown to the ground. Added to this there were the piercing cries ot the populace, the creaking and cracking 01 walls, loud sounds like thunder irom tne earth beneath, the Tattling noise of tiles, houses and wails falling, waich, altogether, formed a hideous concert The first strony shock lasted from twenty-tive to thirty seconds. The contents of a large Water tank in the court yard were thrown out in a broad sheet About two dozen houses that were in- havited have been destroyed, causing tne loss of thirty-two lives. ‘he number of houses damaged, and which will have to be taken down, will be Jound considerable, Many ol the old ruins of 1773 have suffered new damages. In Guatermala, the capital, shocks were felt, but slight; this fact, taken along with the direction of the earthquake and its increasing effect being ina direct ratio to the distance from the “Volcan del Fuego,” makes 1t probable that this mountain Caused all the nocturnal disturbances above ae- scribed.

There were many excellent features in the performance, one notabie one being the admirable drili of the chorus and orclies- tra by Signor E. Muzio. To begin at the beginning | of the attractive points we must speak first of the tenor, He delivered the /amiliar numbers with something more than traditional power, Even in the grand trio that ends the first act his fine Voice and nervous, impassioned style of ivr dec- | lamation were at once recoznized. Immediately beivre this time honored number he gained ap- | plause with the trying serenade, ‘“Veserto | | Suila Tena—trying because it introduces the tenor in a very ineffective manner. The popular “Di Quella Pira” was rendered with the aceustomed | dash and spirit, but was less to be considered in a musical point of view than the exquisite phrasing | and expression of the preceding andante, “Au! | Si, Ben Milo,” which showed the artist in his | | brighteat light. in the ‘Miserere’’ scene \he tenor shone with real brijiiancy and | drew another encore, Mme, Poteutinl, whose | Votce 18 marvellously like that of Zucet, | | did not attain the success in the ré/e of Leonora | that might be expected by those who witnessed her magnificent triumph in Verdi’s last opera on Wednesday last.

The strength of her | | Voice lies in the chest tones, which are 1uil of ex: pression and passion.
