.HERTY'S Medical and Surgical Institute is be-
coming a sine qua non to the welfare of our State
and health of our citizens; and his rapidly spread
ing reputation, although it may excite surprise, is
but the signal of skill, aud follows as the natural
effect of such = cause. We are personally aequaint-
ed with gentlemen who have suffered for years un-
der chronic disease. and who had taken adyant-
age Of every available means that promised relief.
but without success, until they called upon Dr..
Doherty, who, in an incredibly short space Of time
has given them entire relief. II Is gratifying TO
announce this fact, because the Doctor is n gen
tleman who seeks, not by defamation Of others, TO
establish his reputation, or to rear the superStruc-
'ture Of his own upon the ruin of an another's fame.
The Doctor conducts his Institute In such q man
uer that must be gratifying to all his patieuts.-
lie examines, advises aud without
charge, aud tho patient, after hearing his terms
for treatment. can accept or reject ut pleasure. In
no case does the Doctor make n charge unless he
effects a cure. This he Is able 10 do, because be
feels the confidence which long experience has Civ
en-, and no doubt the consolation which appsrtaias
to that confidence. Persons afflicted With either
accute or chronic diseases. would do well to con-
suit him. For consultation he asks no fee, nor
does he insist on obedience to his advice unless the
patient place. himself under his care. His Offices

SCARCELY had we completed our PAIN
ful account of the lamentablc hurricane
of the goth October, in our issues of the
18th and 10th instant, the delay, as our
readers are aware, being caused by the
destruction of the 1ydende Office and its
subsequent arrangement,-than it be-
comes our most distressing duty again
to record an amount of calamity, that has
no parallel in the annals of st. Thomas.

Fran tie 81, Thomas Times, Norem50 23)

THE arrival on Sunday morning last of
the r. NJ. Steamship La Plata brought
us intelligence Of an exciting character,
and forgetting for the time, the mel
ancholy events Of the hurricane, we had
commenced to speculate upon its nature
and effects, when the disastrous Earth
quake of Monday, the 18th instant, again
dispelIed all our thoughts, regarding ma
tionality. In our capacity, however, we
are necessitated to advert to this intelli-
gence, and to state what we have been
enabled to gather, of SO much authority,
as to make what we say reliable to our
readers. To truth then is, that the Dan
ish Islands of st. Thomas and st. Johns,
have passed from the hands Of Denmark
to those of the United States. The condi-
lions of exchange, beyond the amount of
purchase, are confined to three. 1. Ii
berty in perpetuation or in other words,
that slavery could never again exist on
these lands. 2. Religious freedom. 3.
Security Of property. The foregoing three
conditions appear to be the only ones
which the plenlpotentiaries have set down
in the treaty of transfer. It is however on
the other hand silently said, but for this we
are denied the use of our authority, that
the motive is, TO afford to the United
States, the opportunity of promuI eating
by Proclamation or otherwise it's own
views and conditions, on taking over the
Islands. And these, it is further stated,
will prove of so liberal and enlightened q
character, as must disarm any opposition,
if any, to the contemplated change, and
tend, rather to gladden. than discourage,
every dweller on these Isles. For the
purpose of arranging the prellminaries TO
the sale, a Special Commissioner from the
King of Denmark, Chamberlain Carsten-
sen, arrived with la Plata, who after re-
gulating certain matters in the Islands,
will proceed to Washington for the fin
al settlement. 1t is also stated, that
Vice Governor Rothe, who also came a
passenger in La PLATA was sent back by
the Home Government in order 10 be pre-
sent at his post during the period inter
vening the transfer. An open letter ad-
dressed by His Majesty The King, to the
inhabitants of these Islands, has we have
good reason for saying come with Ia
Plata, and would no doubt before this have
been published, but for the fearful vista
ton of the Earthquake. The letter we
learn contains all the information we have
alluded to above, and is full Of kind and
loving sentiments towards His Majesty's
subjects, and with great sincerity and
%candour, makes known the reasons
that prompted His Majesty to make a
change. If we are rightly informed His
Majesty expresses the hope, and in a meas
ure relies, that the change will be favor
ably received by the inhabitants, and that
the proof of the same will be given when
the voting is called up,

any previous time, been its misfortune to
experience. Like all the Islands stu
ated in the tropics St. Thomas has been
accustomed to feel occasional shocks of
Earthquakes Of more or less force, the
severcst until now on record being that
felt on the 10Th February 1912, the coun-
ter part of the one that proved so devast-
ating TO Guadeloupe. 1t is generally
conceded that what was felt and expert
enced here on the day above alluded to,
cannot we'll be described, and if we sue
coed to give a faint outline of what oc-
Cured we shall have succeeded better in
our task than the distress of the moment
~justifies us to expect. The loud rum
bling of the earth, and the severity of
the shocks (as it is allowed that there
were many in q very brief space) soon
emptled every store and building of its
occupants, as it appeared that no edifice
could withstand the test of another mo-
ment's shaking. And the alarm was not
without ample cause, for as each individ-
ull rushed into the streets it was only
to witness the tottering of his neighbours

mortar from his own 10 compute the
time that this severe peril lasted would
be impossible, as every second had the
space Of an hour in every ones mind.
The streets, or rather we speak of the
principal street, Ghe main street, soon
proved too insecure to those that were in
1t, as every instant seemed 10 Indicate
that some building or other would fall
therein, and consequently every one able,
ran with all his might for the sea shore.
With the termination of this run the
shocks appeared also 10 subsIdc and on
returning TO tho main street every OBJ
server was able to form an idea of the
destruction that had taken place in so
very little time. We shall not attempt
TO state with the limited time we have 10
do it in, the buildings that have suffered,
or rather that have suffered most, since
we believe that none are exempt. The
principal destruction is Of course confined
to the main-Street, as that is entirely
built of wall, and rs it constitutes the
business part of the town, the losses in
buildings and merchandise it is easy to
see will be f~earfulIy large. No house
holder, merchant or store-keepcr, but
what will have TO count his losses by the
tens and not by units. We had almost
forgotten the Earthquake in our attempts
TO describe its ravages on buildings and
places Of business, and the fear it engen-
dered on every individual mind. But the
worst account has to come and in order
to assist us in its description, we must
begin by stating that the rumbIing and
the shocks evidently came from the south
west, and if it may be allowed us 10 say,
seemed to pass under our feet and pro-
coed on in a north-eastcrly course,
and what subsequently happened gives
strength to this belief. No sooner had
the first terrific shocks ceased and the
minds permitted to resume a part of its
calm, than a spectacle presented itself
that will never be obliterated from the
memory Of those whose misfortunate it
was for privilege if you willy TO see it.
AS we have said, no sooner had the
shocks ceased than an ocean Of water,
