CHRISTMAS AND New Y~EAR's-passed off very
pleasantly as holidays. The former being Thanks
giying-day was generally spent in feasting, and many
pleasant gatherings occurred in townsville among
the natives we heard of a number of luau's or feasts.
New years was ushered in with rain and mud, but
the after-part of the day was very pleasant, and spent
generally in making calls. We noticed more riding
in and about town than for a long time before.

JUGGURNATH.-The Supreme Council of India have
finally severed the connection of Government with
that temple. A certain sum of money, sufficient to
produce G1500 a year, is to be invested in land, and
made over to the Rajah of Koordah, (the trustee of
the temple) in full payment and discharge of all the
claims of the temple for the residue of its old endow-
ments. 1t requires little wisdom to predict thatits
funds and its prestige will soon disappear altogether.

A SUGGEsTIoN.-Would it not be an improvement
to our harbor, or anchorage rather, to have a ships
bell attached to the outer iron or perhaps spar buoy.
The bell could be attached with a spring of sufficient
strength to allow the motion of the buoy to give it
an occasional strike. The expense would not be forty
dollars, and it would frequently be a convenience to
boats coming in or coasters anchoring after dark.

SUPREME COURT.-Thc January Term of this Court
began on Monday last. The session was opened by
an address from Judge Robertson, presiding, which
will be found in another column. On Monday the
trial of W. Clark, for robbery committed at Lahaina,
came on, and the prisoner was found guilty, the
Jury being absent but fifteen minutes. The next
case was that of two seamen, belonging to the whale
ship Warren, charged with burglary, in entering
the shop of Mr.. Halsey, in Nuuanu street. The evil
dence was clear, and a verdict of guilty was rem
dered.
Tuesday morning the famous dance-bouse cases
came up on appeal from the lower Court, where a
verdict had been rendered against the proprietors of
them. The defendants are French and Englishmen,
and their respective Consuls have availed themselves
of the privileges guaranteed by the French treaty of
1916, which is considered still in force, and which
allows foreign Consuls to select juries in cases of
trial of foreigners. This privilege has never been
availed of before, we believe, except in cases of CAPT.
tai punishment.
The following are the articles of the British and
French treaties, under which the consular juries are
chosen
article III. No British subject accused
of any crime whatever, shall be judged other
wise than by a jury composed of native or
foreign residents, proposed by the British
Consul and accepted by the government of
the Sandwich Islands.
ARTICLE III. Aucun Francais accuse
dun crime on DELFT ~quelconque, ne pourra
etre JUICE que par I'm jury compose de resi-
densi indigenes, on strangers proposes par lie
Consul de France, ct agrees par lie gouverne-
des Hes Sandwich.
A jury has been proposed by the French Consul,
but not approved of by the Privy Council, and one
has been selected on the Government, but no agree
ment has been settled on, and we understand that a
correspondence has been commenced on the subject
between the French Consul and the Hawaiian Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, which will probably spin
out, like a sailors yarn, % an indefinite length.
These cases will probably GNcupy the court q day or
two longer.
- A correspondent sends us the following ac-
count of the Order of Odd Fellows, selected from a
late English paper. 1t will be found of interest to
our readers:
SOCIETY OF Opp FELLOWS AND ITS ORIGIN.-The
origin of the parent Society of the Order of Odd Eel
lows, is of ancient date. 1t was established by the
Roman soldiers in camp, after the Order of the Isra-
elites, during the reign of Nero, the Roman Emperor,
who commenced his reign in 55, 1901 years ago, at
which time they were called Fellow-citizens The
name of Odd Fellows was given in the year 70, by
Titus Caesar, Emperor of Rome, from their singularity
OF motions, and from their knowing each ether by
night as well as by day; and for their fdeity.to him

Discovery of a Silver Mine.

Some days since as chanced to pass a stone wall which separates my lot from my neighbors, noticed stone, which had peculiar gmmer. As examined it more closely. perceived an evi. dent metallic lustre, and soon decided that it was silver ors. kept the secret to myself for few days. until could discover whether ihe stone was only single specimen, Of whether it had strayed from some large deposit of the metal which might be worked to profit. Fortunately found the quarry whence the fragment had been taken, and then met with still further evidence of the presence of the precious metal. In short after a careful survey, l was satisfied that there was silver enough in the mine if properly dis tributed about the town to add very materially to thu general wealth of the place, and to the re- sources of private individuals.
 immediately set to work to devise some way by which the hidden store of wealth should be developed and turned to good account. Such mine if properly worked would produce one hund- red thousand dollars per ann um, what sum to scatter among the citizens of this town1 But that the full advantages of the mine may be se- cured, we need incaeased facilities for reaching this place the erection of extensive works, and accommodations for workmen. And now will our townsmen unite with me in putting forth the necessary exertion to secure for ourselves the pe- cuniary benefits which this mine, properly work ed. will obtain for us 2 Other towns and villages have built railroads, and put up factories, and in various ways by the aid of capital, have improved the natural resources which pertain to them. As the result villages have grown to towns, and towns to cities desert wastes are enlivened with the hum of industry, and enterprise and thrift have turned the running brooks to profit, and from their waters distilled gold.
 While pondered on these matters, and went into mental calculation the value of the mine, seemed in imagination already to have extracted the pure silver from the and coined it into dol- lsrs, and their chnk seemed as musical in my ears the song of bids, But is there energy and enterprise in the place to work this mine must make some enquiries, and discuss that matter in another article before unfold the posi- ton and nature of my discovery.

THE JERKS 1894 first witnessed that strange exercise, the Jerks, although I had heard much about it before. It took subjects from all denominations and all classes of socie- ty, even the wicked but it prevailed chiefly among Presbyterians. I will give some in- stances
 A MT. Doke, Presbyterian clergyman, of high standing, having charge of a congregation in Jonesboro', was the first man of eminence in this region that came under its influence. Often it would seize him in the pulpit with so much severity that a spectator might fear that it would discoate his neck and joints He would laugh, stand and halIoo at the top of his voice, finally leap from the pulpit, and run to the woods, screaming like madman. When the exercise was over, he would return to the church, calm and rational as ever Sometimes at hotels this affection would visit persons, causing them, for example, in the very act of raising the glass to their lips, to jerk and throw the liquor to the ceiling, much to the merriment of some and the alarm of others. have often seen ladies take it at the break fast table as they were pouring tea or coffee they would throw the contents toward the ceil- ing and sometimes break the cup and saucer. Then hastening from the table, their long suits of braided hair hanging down their backs would crack like whip. For time the jerks was the topic of nversation--publIc and prl-
