dog, tb@Labonr Act, has been assisted by our
contemporary. These remarks Of the Arig,
which are made on our editorial Of 10th ulto,T
entirely confirm our views as then expressed,
and, at the same time, refer US to a Society of
whose very existence the Acis appears to be
doubtful. Such being the case, we are not very
hopeful of reaching the fire from which all this
smoke has risen. The Agricultural Society of
St, Croix can scarcely have been either very
active or effective when, in order to make its
existence known, it requires, such an opportunity
as this now afforded it, whereby it may be clear
the island of the charges brought against it, not
only by the press Of other islands but by that
Of its own. The word is with the Agricultural
Society. 50

had undertaken to take over the business, with its liabilities,
on his approaching marriage-a step which the old banker cor

consistently with the interests Of the bank

He started off to the brewery, to look over the books but
he couldn't make head or tail of them. Parks, the book,k&p-
er, had been keeping the books for the last thirty years on the
same principle, and he couldn't make head or tail ofthem. Tom
made up his mind to have an alteration here, and walked off
to see his lawyer, after signing a few cheques from a brand-new
cheque-book, which Tom took a little pride in. 1t was some
thing to have IA bankin g-account in those days. Non, every
man who has cash or credit to the tune of twenty pounds, may
have his account, and draw his cheques just like a milIio-

Sir Rutherford Alcock, while visiting

he demanded Satisfaction for the outrages
committed on the missionaries. He was
rudcIy received by the Chinese officials,
and booted at in the streets by the people.
The local Government answered his de-

and he was obliged to leave the affair in
the hands Of the British Consul for settle

prospect Of an accommodation of these

A St. Croiz Proprietor, whose letter we print
herewith, makes two charges against us, to
which it is our duty e%o.'repIy. The first is, that
a former communication Of his did not find adj
mission into our columns. To this we answer
thatthe reason is simply that we never received
the letter in question. If we had, we should
have inserted it with much pleasure.
The second accusation is, that we sympathisQ
with Antigua and ST. Kits. To this we beg to
reply that we have no reason for sympathising
with those islands, nor do we do 50 that our
sympathieS, if we had any at ALL, were rather
with the emigrants from those places whose
lines were represented TO have fallen any where
but in pleasant places. We are most happy to
see the other side Of the question as Shewn by
our valued correspondent and only regret that
he gives no explanation Of the admissions made
by the Aois, that Agricultural labour in St.
Croi1 is something from which it is desirable to
escape, and that it requires ONE management
to do so. The Aris, however, supplies the de-
~ficiency, and helps the lame dog over the stiIe,
in the manner in which such dogs are usually
helped in this u%nfeeling world of ours. We re-
fer our readers to the AUis'S editorial of 28th

and two travellers, and a c collector, and a boy, and on Oldham to
