aud placed the man IN his charge. DR.. Hutchinson,

when the case was first presented to them, declared
II TO be varioloid. After a consultation, however,
with other members Of the Board. the opinion was

MAGNIFICENT VOLCANIC DIsPLAY-Frcm Hona we
learn that the terminal crater, Wokualcsoureo. on
Mauna Loa, is very active. Saturday last, 23I lust,
early risers in Kona and Kau witnessed several jets
Of red hot lava thrown high into the air, from
four TO FIVE hundred feet. The first FIRE was seen
half an hour before sunrise, and could be seen
until the daylight and smoke about the top Of
the mountain rendered 1t indistinct. Slight shocks
of earthquake were felt during the week. The shock
felt at Kaalaea, on this island, on the nineteenth,
was not remarked ON Hawaii.
