MORE EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS IN SPAIN
Madrid, Jan. 2.-Earthquake shocks were
again felt at Grenada, Malaga, Nerja and
Algarrobo last night. The panic among
the people is undated. A number of towns
and villages have been completely de-
stroyed, and their inhabitants have desert
ed them. Many persons sleep in railway
carriages. A royal decree has been issued
ordering that a national subscription be
made for the relief of the sufferers. Pub
lie officials will contribute one days pay
each. By this means alone it is expected
that $500, 900 will be raised. The Spanish
am bassadors, ministers and consuls in all
countries will also open subscriptions.
Shocks of earthquake were again expe-
rlenced at Albania last night. The town
is III ruins. A panic prevails among the
inhabitants of Autiquera, 2S miles north
west of Malaga, where shocks have already
been felt.

THE PRAIRIE FARMER-One of the most
valued agricultural papers which we re-
ceive is The Prairie Farmer, Chicago, ILL.,,
16-page weekly, on elegant paper, with
clear new type at $2.00 per year, edited by
ORANGE JUDD, a veteran journalist, and
long at the head of the american Agricul-
turist, where he made distinguished repu-
tation in his chosen pursuits in literature.
His journal is filled with good things every
week, instructive, reliable, and useful to
ell who read it. He seems to have taken u
new lease on life. in entering on the broad
Western fields open to his talents, expert

The illustrations in the Farmer are truly

APresent to Robert se.roesr.

A graceful little act was performed last
night at the residence OF Robert Schroeer,
number 10 Tilton street, by the members OF
the Great Western band and Seibert's Or
chestra. Mr.. Robert Schroeer is pillar in
the musical world OF St. Paul. He has been
connected with the Great Western band, Sci
berts orchestra and the other musical organ
lzations that proceeded these two, for over
twenty-five years. For years our Opera
house going people have been familiar with
his tall and dignified form, as he stood by
his good old double bass in the orchestra, the
same kind hearted, pleasant, genial
dignifed gentleman that he always is. He
is as true as steel, and always performs his
duty in q quiet, digniied and perfect man
ner, without show or pretense. He is old
gold, pure and simple. To-day, the 4th Of
January, 1885, is his ffty-seventh birthday.
His companions in music yesterday CON
Guided that they would not allow it to pass
without suitable recognition. Accordingly
they had beautiful little present prepared
for him, which they presented last night.
This present is what is called medallion,
and consists Of 4 broad bar of gold. from
which is suspended, by two gold chains,
beautiful shield of ornamtnted solid
gold. On the bar are the words.
Robert Schroeer," and on the shield are
the words and figures january 4. 1885,
9th birthday. From his musical compan-
ions" The presentation could not be con.
veniently made TO- day, SO they went up to
Mr.. Schroeer's residence, on Tilton street,
after the opera house and roller skating rink
had closed, last evening, arriving there about
midnight, when they serenaded their CO.
worker in the musical world. OF course. the
gentlemen were invited in and treated 10
modest entertain ment such as was suited to
the circumstances, aid while the guests were
thus being entertained, Mr. Seibert pre-
scented the beautiful little present
in few well chosen remarks,
during which he referred 10 the long and
faithful services of Mr.. Schroerr, in the lit
tie musical world of St. Paul, and to the
quiet, unostentatious and faithful manner
in which he always performed his duties.
The remarks were very happy and appropri-
ate. The kindness displayed by his CO.
laborers in the musical world, and his long
connection with the Great Western band and
Seiberts orchestra, completely overcame the
veteran musician. All be could say was that
he thanked them for their kindness, and in
vited them all to participate in the hospital-
ties Of his house, which they did and for an
hour or more made merry 1t was pleas
ant occasion and will not soon be forgotten
by those who participated.

surprise that any one was present. The
fact of such an attendance indicates tn at the
tase for listening to oratorio music has been
cultivated to some purpose here in st. Paul,
and furnishes Signor Jannotta, and his brave
co-workers in this great field, a certain de-
gree of encouragement TO continue and in
crease their creditable efforts to place before
the people of st. Paul these great compost
tons Of the great masters. The chorus did
the best chorus work ever listened to in
st. Paul. All the choruses were given
with precision and vim that
must have been very gratifying to the direc-
tor. The whole community bas to thank
these singers that filed up the choruses, for
their patient toiling for these many weeks TO
master the work set before them, and for the
pleasure OF listening TO SO creditable rendi
ion of this great work. The orchestra work
was excellent. 1t was the largest one we
ever had in st. Paul, except Thomas. 1t
was delicate wherever II was required to be,
and the shading was excellent all the way
through. The pastoral symphony was
rendered in very graceful manner,
and its difficulties were handled
very successfully. Take the whole work from
beginning TO end aud it was given in man
ner that was entirely satisfactory, aud the
audience left the great hail in 4 very enthu-
siastic frame Of mind indeed. The Choral
society, it was evident had accomplished
something and that something was TO teach
this community that an oratorio means some
thing, that is something to be enjoyed, even
by those VINO are not specially cultivated in
music, and that the Choral society
can do this kind Of work in a successful and
satisfactory manner. II is to be hoped that
Signor Jannotta ana the ladies and gentle
men who have worked with MIN so faithfully
and sacrificed so much by way of personal
inconvenience by attending the rehearsals
will take new courage and continue the work
they have so successfully begun.
