ES"NIonday next. March 4th is the

Monday next, March 4th is the
regular day for the commencement Of the
Circuit Court for Washington County, but
from pr sent appearances We hardly pre-
sumo that it will be held at that time.
The Act that wos lately passed for sum-
moning and drawing Jurors in Washing
ton, Frederick and Carroll counties, a
synopsis of which VIC lately published,
provides that in case there should not be
sufficient time for complying with the pro-
visions of the Act, before the meeting of
the ensuing Term of tile Circuit Court,
then such term shall be postponed until
the provisions of the Act arc fully com.
piled with.
The Act makes it incumbent upon the
CLERK to the County Commissioners, with.
in ten days after its passage, to make out
list of all tho white male taxable resi-
tlents of the county between the ages of
twenty-five and seventy, which list is fur
hlshed to the Judge, and from which
together with the pollbooks of the county
the Jurors are TO be selected.
The time allowed by the law for making
this list, has already expired, and as vet
we have not heard that the Clerk to the
County Commissioners has even COM
mcnced upon it.
Meanwhile Sheriff Newcomer has been
holding on with death like tenacity to his
ancient rights and prerogativcs, and has
been busily engaged in summon:ng Ju-
ry as he used to do, composed we presume
OF the same lovely and delectable material
that ornamented and distinguished our
Court Hall. last November. If our friend

of sport, and likes the fun we have moth.
ing to say. except to express our gratifca-
ton that he is able to indulge in so expen-
sivo an amusement; for of course we pre-
sumo he intends to pay out of his own pock-
ct for the jury that he has undertaken to
summon merely for his own qualification,
and without the slightest warrant in law
foA so doing. AS to the persons who may
have been summoned as Jurors throughout
the County, we don't think that they need
trouble themselves about making any ar
engagements as regards protractod absence
fIom their homes, or securing board in
ilagerstown, indcc if they should happen
to have anything to do at 'homc,,jwc would

A XiSifafiOn

EyWe sec from one of our exchanges
that Gen. Benjamin +. Butler of silver
spoon notor;ety has taken up his residence
in Washington City. Such has been the
wickedness and corruption of the political
element that has for years past held sway
in our National Capital. that we have
been expecting to see some terrible man.
Hesitation of the Divine wrath, fall upon
this our modern Sodom, and the visitation
has at last come in the shape of ."Butlcr
the Beast p"
We know that there are many pure and
noble hearts in Washington City, untaint-
cd by the corruption, that is reeking
around them, and to these we extend our
deepest sympathy on account of this
calamity which has bcfallen them.
We presume that the Municipal au-
thorities of Washington, will see i'm
mediately to the large increase and
through efficiency of the detective and
police force, and that the citizens general
ly will secure as effectually as possible,
their silver ware, jewelry, and valuables
of all descriptions.
These precautions are all that human
power can now do to mitigate the evil.
For its removal, we must have recourse
to that Power who inflicted the blow, and
we sincerely pray that he may soon see
fit to remove from our brethren in Wash
ington, already sorely tried and afflicted
by the presence Of the both Congress in
their midst. this his last and greatest
scourge, "BEAsr BUTLER!

to take the coffin of Gen. A. S. johnson from

ascertain if there had not been silver buried with
it. In prying open the coffin they broke II and

MAGNIFICENT LITERARY FABRIc.-Webster 9
Qusrto Dictionary has passed through various
editions, each an Improvement upon and en-
largement of the preceding, until 1t has culmi-
mated in the present magnificent literary and
linguistic fabric. The reputation of this work
is not confined to America. We find it stated
that in the Alexandra case, tried in the Court
of Exchequer at Westminster Hall, under purely
English law, no other dictionary, English or
American, was quoted or alluded than his. The
Lord Chief Baron, in his decision, pronounced
"Webster's Dictionary work of the greatest
learning, research and ability" Besides the
numerous illustrations with which the volume
is interspersed. there are5at the end sixty-seven
pages of the most finished pictorial illust ra-
tons, representing almost every conceivable Oh.
jcct in nature. science and art. Itwould be un.
necessary, if we were competant to the task, to
SUBJECT this work to O critical analysis. Its rep.
utation is firmly established. 1t is built upon a
rock and can bid defiance to any petty storm
that the critics can raise.-Richmond Wig, May

The European Mails arrived here this

will be found below.
Of the Fenian outbreaks we read -
"The news from Killarney continues to
be of a most satisfactory nature. The
country is everywhere in a state, of the
greatest tranquility, and the authorities
directly charged with the preservation of
the peace do not see the slightest reason
to apprehend a renewal OF disturbances

FOR THE ST. CROIx AVIS"
ICE! E ICE!!!


The warm season is coming Oh apace,
cholera dead or dying out in st. Thomas,
yet the supply of Ice to this Island, not
very wisely suspended during the preva-
lence of Cholera in st. Thomas, has not
been resumed by the contractors. We
think it can now safely be done at once.
The contractors, 10 be sure, want to be
relieved from that part of their contract
by which they are bound to supply this
Island with Ice but they will not sue
coed therein. They may rather charge u
little more, say 2 Gents pr. Id. of Ice
but then let them be ordered to resume
at once providing us with Ice, and in such
a manner that there must at all times be
ut least Il thousand Pounds thereof in
each Of the two towns. Let them discharge
their slow coach, or craft, the Dauntless,
and contract with all the vessels sailing
between this Island and st. Thomas, for
carrying Ice over, and let them be un-
sparIneIy fined for every day they are out
OF Ice in either town. This is no more
than fair and just !; for surely, it is high
time there should be some Justice shewn
IN the matter !; for hitherto Government
has been lenient TO o fault, in allowing the
contractors to escape with subterfuges;
aud the contractors have, of course, lost
no time, in taking advantage thereof.
Should the penal clause in their contract
b., as we think, rather ~lenient and vague,
or couched in terms that leave a wide
opening for subterfuge and evasion, then
this clause can be made more definite and
positive, at the same time the contract is
altered 10 favor of the contractors, by &C
cordins to them a higher price than they
are now bound to deliver Ice for here.
