JUDGE RopaERs ACKNOWLEDGES
ton having been raised as to the au-
tbority by which Judge Rodgers e1er-
cises his functions as Judge of the Po-
lice Court under appointment from the
City Council, we re-publish the follow.
ing amendment to the law, passed
March 4. 1868.
40. That the council of said city
is hereby authorized to appoint the
Mayor OF eaid City. or some competent
person, who shall exercise the police
Jurisdiction OF said court when the
Judge thereof, from sickness or other
causes, is in capable of acting, or is
absent from the City, or the office is
vacant"
The italics are our own and, we
think the words thus emphasized Com
pletely settles the question Of the power
OF the City Council to appoint. The
question raised is moreover that as
Judge Rodgers was appointed before
Judge Goods death he was not appoint-
ed to fill the vacancy, but only while the
Judge was incapable of acting from
sickness or other cause, and that an
appointment to fill the vacancy must
now be made. We leave the matter to
the lawyers. One thing is clear the
Council has the power to gil the vac
ancy.

ST. VALENTINES Day.-To.1ay occure
that oftentimes festival devoted to an
exchange Of tender missives between
love-lorn swains and signing maidens,
but the observation Of the day is gen.
orally dying out. Time was when the
postoffices were flooded with the senti'
mental and comic missives, but the
custom is degeuerating into dow nright
righteousness, with very few exceptions.
The mails are taken advantage Of
by persons to wreak little cheap re-
venge upon an enemy, and many a sen-
stive heart, ainnocent Of guile, is made
to mourn in silence by the stab Of some
spiteful or envious wretch who is afraid
to attack openly.
1t is curious to note how one OF the
customs Of St. Valentines Day has
come down to the present generation,
almost unchanged, from the days Of
Pagan Rome. Before Christianity was
recognized in that ancient city it was
customary for youths to draw names in
honor Of the goddess Feburats Juno on
the 18th OF February, and when pagan
ism was abolished the honor was con-
fered upon St. Valentine. To this day
it is customary in some portions Of Vir.
GINA on the evening Of St. Valentines
Day for the youth Of both sexes to as
semble at some designated house and
have what is termed "ticket draw.
ings." The name of each one Of the
company present are written upon q
slip of cardboard or paper, ADD those
containing the male names placed in
one hat and those of the females 10
another. After shaking the tickets
up each one present draws from the hat
containing names of those Of opposite
sex to the one drawing, number is eI
hsusted, after which each one anoun'
ces the name they have received, which
il considered their Valentine" that 10,
"sveettheart." The operation causes
considerable amusement and results in
genuine engagements.
