the Budget for the Municipality of st. CrOiX
for the financial year from the 1st of April
1869 to the 3ISt of March 1870, the following
amounts are hereby granted
sub Item D. s: The Military and Brand
Department:
l. For procuring new articles of inventory
. 5000.
2. For attendance to the engines and for
other expenses $50.
$3.50"
The 2nd member for Frederiksted's country
district (Kaight) asked the reason why the
Militia is IN ,ntioned in the item, and if there
exists any Militia.
The Governor observed, that. as stated in
the remarks, there still exists a disbursement
of $l44 p. a. for the performance of the duties
formerly attached to the Stadshauptman's
office.
No one desiring the word, the matter was
referred for the End discussion.
IL, The 1St discussion of the Money-Bill to
the Budget Item D. 8: oad-Department,
Streets &c, contents as follows
"Money-Bill: For defraying expenses under
the Budget for the Municipality of st. Croix
for the financial year from the 1St of April
1869 to. the 3lSt of March 1870, the following
amounts arc hereby granted
SuO IL - uO IOOdQ-OOpul GluCAG3
Streets &c.
l. For stationery for the Quarteroffcers. S Ga.
2. Expenses for repairing Streets, Wells
and Bridges in both towns ........ 406.
8. For lighting Streets and other Public
Places 425.
$685."
The Governor pointed out the proposed in
crease in the amount for lighting the wharf at
Frederiksted. AT present there is expended
800 p. a. according to the Burgher Councils
contract with a private individual to keep a
light on a flag staff at his house in Strandstreet
but complaints have been made of the light
having at times gone out during the night.
This even of course could not be avoided, when
no one remains up to attend to the light but
as its regular attendance is considered import
ant to the vessels arriving at the rOadstead,
and as the light has even been noticed in a chart
made in a foreign country, the Government
intends to investigate. if a light can not be fixed
on the flag staff of the fort and be attended to
by the Military Meanwhile it would probably
be proper to place a lantern at one of the land
ing bridges, and therefore the amount formerly
expended is proposed to be increased with 500.
The End member for Frederiksted's country
district (Knight) stated, that the intention of
the contract then entered into by the Burgher
Council was. to secure the presence of a light
on the wharf. He considered of Importance
also to the Shipping on the roadstead to have
the light properly attended. He was not aware
of the light having gone out at night.
The 1st member for Christiansted's country
district (Christmas) observed that from his ex-
perience no light is required for the sake of the
Shipping, and if a light be of any Specification
at all for them the Ii ght ought to be at least
so feet highs He considered a light at the
wharf requisite for passengers.
The 4th member for Christianstad,s- country
, 1869-04-16

The Governor observed, that the bill had
been framed in accordance with the SAM .prin-
ciples as those observed in previous years, con-
sideration being also.taken to the contracts for
entered into on the 3oth June 1868.
It has been considered necessary to continue
the temporary increase of | cent per day for
the non-commissioned officers and privates on

AN ECLIPSE DIscoyERY.-Prol. Winlock,
of Harvard College, was In Louisville, KY,
on Wednesday, and is bringing back the re-
suits Of his observations on the eclipse. The
IGoarisr says; Ellis most remarkable discoy-
cry, however, far surprising those Of jams
sen in India, Is the presence Of an ocean OF
magnesium In the sun. OF the six now lines
discovered by him, four are magnesium. II
Is therefore unnecessary for any earth.born
mortal to claim that he discovered the power
that magnesium possesses for making q
brilliant light. OF the Ave lines known be-
foro the discovery Of tho six new ones BY
Professor wlnlock, four are known to b
hydrogen. The constitution Of the other Il
unknown"
Another curious fact soems TO DO settled
now; II Ia that the corona Of the sun and
the Aurora Borealls arc Identical In consti
tuition.
