EARTHQUAKE AT PANAMA.-The
Panama Star, Of the 18th, contains
the following:
"On Monday night our city was
thrown into state ofthe greatest con-
sternatien by the strange sensation of
al earthquake being felt, after most Of
the inhabitants had retired to rest
Just fifteen minutes past midnight
two shocks, with barely seconds
interval, shook every house in the city,
and 50 severe were they, that there
were few people asleep who were not
awakened by the movement Of their
beds. The shocks lasted about twenty
seconds. Some people were so terri.
fed that they rushed into the streets,
momentarily to see their
dwellings thrown down. The night
was beautifully clear and still, and
barely cloud was to be seen in the
sky. The earthquake was succeeded
by lightning and thunder, which con-
tinued throughout the night. The
worst harm experienced by the shock
was the alarm it created, and we have
reason to be thankful that it was no
worse. This is the only earthquake
experienced in Panama since the
year 1843.

the tomb Of Odoacer, King Of the
