DEATH OF Hon. TIMOTHY JENKINs.-The
telegraph announces the sudden death of Hon
Timothy jenkins of Oneida county, New
York, while in attendance upon Court. Mr..
Jenkins was a native of Barre in this county
He was educated in our schools, and, we be-
lieye studied his profession here. When quite
a young man, he removed to New York,
where he rose to honorable rank in his profess
sion. He was elected member of the thirty
first and thirty-second congresses for the
Oneida District, and though representing
the Democratic party, voted steadily for
the Wilmot Proviso and the other anti
slavery measures of the time. In 1857 he
was the Republican candidate for Judge of the
Court of Appeals, and in 1858 was warmly
urged by many of his friends as the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor. He was man
of good ability, excellent judgment and singu-
lar purity of character, which secured for him
the honest esteem of his fellow citizens. His
professional and public life reflected nothing
but honor on the county of his BIRTH and of
his early life, and his death will be regarded
as public loss.

ANTI SLAVERY MEETING.-The meeting held at
the City Hall, last night, was addressed by Messrs
s. S. Foster, Rev 7. w. Higginson, and Rev. John
Beeson, missionary to the Oregon Indians Two Of
the Indians-a man and q woman-were present
The woman sung remarkably well, and was applaud
ed. The meeting called by Mr. Fosterto discuss
his view of the method in which anti-savery should
be carried into politics. His views have undergone
change. He no longer accepts Mr. Garrisons
view of the federal Constitution, but holds that
there should be political party aiming to the
federal government to abolish slavery in the states
Mr.. Higginson dissented from Mr.. Fosters view of
the general government and its relation to the states
and thought his method revolutionary rather than
constitutional. Mr.. Beeson thought they all sham
mered and pounded" the slavery question, without
thinking enough of justice to the Indians Mrs.
Foster took exception to his criticism and he ex-
planned that he did not mean to accuse them The
meeting was adjourned to Tuesday evening of next

CHRIsTMAs.-Monday was generally observed as
holiday in this city and vicinity, and passed in
very merry and satisfactory manner. NTH evening
the pupils of the French Institute held very pleas
ant festival, entertaining their friends with much
hospitality, and receiving abundance of gifts in
return. The present and past members of the High
School, to the number of four or five hundred gem
tlemen and ladies, met at the City Hall, which was
handsomely decorated for the occasion. The exer-
cises were enlivened with amateur dramatic enter
tainments, while splendid Christmas tree spread its
bountiful branches in the center of the hall. The
latter portion of the evening was given up to dane
ing to the music of Arbuckle Patz' quadrie band.
Many entertainments, more modest in their preten-
sions, but quite as agreeable and happy, took place
in different parts of the city.

Boston Commercial Bulletin, is manufacture
ed nearly one-half of the cotton used in the
United States, or over 100000 bales; yet
not over three fourths Of this is imported in
to Boston, and probably not over one-eighth
part Of it is shipped here for sale. With a
consumption Of one fourth as much as is re-
quired by mills near Liverpool, the sales in
Boston for whole gear are not equal to the
transactions of many week in that city
and the stock in Boston is seldom over one
twentieth Of the average stock in Liverpool,
