ST. THFREsA's FAIR.-It appears that we
were somewhat misinformed in our last
issue in regard to the beautiful Irish flag,
to be ratified for at Mrs. Finnegan's table in
Father Kenny's approaching fair. In the
first place it is the Sisters of the Holy Cross,
instead of the Sisters of Mercy, who have
charge of it's fabrication and ornamental
ton. Then instead of a net cost of only
$500 we are assured that it will exceed
5000. The Association that gets it will
not run much risk of being eclipsed in the
beauty of their banner.

A BRAVE BREToN.-A correspondent of
the London Athen@uns tells the following
story, characteristic of the Bretons:-
" A hardy Breton came to Paris with an
old flint musket, and when asked what he
was going to do with that old iron, replied:
What my father did fifty-six years AGO
demolish the Prussians.' A friend laughed
and recommended him to change it for
good fnsu a tdbaticre, to which the Breton
replied: Il know nothing of new invcn-
tons, but know this here tool. In 1871
my grandfather had it blessed by the late
c"rc of Nitri, and he never received n
scratch. Last Sunday my mother had if
blessed again by our present cure. and |

DEATH OF REV. FATHER MICHAEL
WAJsn.-The fell destroyer in our midst
has already stricken down one earnest
>iaborer in the Lords vineyard. Rev. Fa-
Their Michael Walsh was called from the
midst of his labOrs to his eternal reward
last Tuesday, having been attacked by
yellow fever the preceding Friday. He
had been in this city only about two weeks,
MS previous field OF labor having been in
Iowa. He was obliged by an attack of
lung disease to leave that State for warm
climate and had already commenced to i'm
prove when attacked by the fever.
Father Walsh was native of Limerick,
Ireland, and graduate of Maynooth. Du-
ring his arduous labors in Iowa, he had sue.
ceeded in building a church under the in
vocation of st. Michael, when, as we have
said, ill-health forced him to seek milder
climate. He died at the age of forty-five.

by the removal of any permanent cause
of irritation between the Powers mostG-
rectly interested, their mutual relations
were reestablished upon the basis of a
real understanding. After directing that
q copy should be handed to the Secreta-
ry for Foreign Affairs, the despatch con-
cIudes by reciprocating Lord Granville's
expression of regret should the present
discussion diminish the friendly relations
which have existed between the two
countries, relations which, in the opinion
of the Russian Cabinet, are essentially for
the advantage of both nations and for the
peace of the world, and which it had
been gratlfied to know had become of
late years still more intimate and cordial,
while the grave circumstances ofthe pre-
sent lime make it more than ever desira-
bic that they should continue.

FRIDAY, 2saD DECEMBER 1870.

WE are not inclined to bring before our
readers apy evidences of the decline of our
Islands prosperity, since that decline is so
patent to all that it needs must be a painful
subject. But there is a limit to forbear-
ance and we cannot avoid drawing the
attention of the community to q matter
that most likely will soon lead to the ces-
sation of the publication of this paper.
We allude to a notice in our last issue from
the Dealing Court Of Frederiksted calling
in the creditors of Juliane Richard, Mary
Jane Dahl, James Grogan and Ancilletta
Harrison. These dealings are all smashed
into one Notice by our worthy dealing
master, who seems to US from this and
other circumstances to be a little liberated
on the question of economy. But if the
expense of a dollar and a few tents might
fall heavily on the dealings of some of the
abovenamed individuals, it certainly cannot
be so on that of Mr.. Grogan. This paper
like the grave digger &c. exists on the
death or misfortunes of our fellow creatures
and if a method is to be devised to stop
that source of existence its death will
speedily have to be announced. Council
lor Sarauw in this act of reducing our in
come for legal notices shows neither wis
dom nor justice. There can be no wisdom
in reducing the revenues of the only prin-
ting office which merely struggles for exist
ence through want of support, nor can it
be Justice thus to act towards us, when he
certainly has to charge each dealing with
it's court expenses. He has certainly not
charged one fee to the Treasury for the
four estates conformity and why then should
he carry his economy out of his office and
not practise it there 2 Economy run mad
is worse than extravaganza and whether it
pleases Councillor Sarauw or not he may
soon have to resort to drumming to make
his official notices public.

submitted Tie OIlIlSn HuSWSC 10 Ills uTSt
Note to the Emperor, who was impressed
by the declared ca rneSt wish of the Cabi-
net of London to maintain a cordial un-
derstanding between England and Russia,
and also by the assurance that there was
no disinclination on their part to consider
any notifications which circumstances
NAV have introduced into the effects of
the Treaty of 1856. The Prince obstains
from entering upon any discussion upon
the question of strict right raised by Lord
Granville. or from quoting any precedent
or example, as Such discussion would not
conduce tot the understanding which ia
desired. The Emperor had an lmperlous
duty to discharge towards his country
without desiring to offrnd or menace any
of the Governments which signed the
Treaty of 1856. 1t was to be regretted
that Lord Granville had dwelt chiefly
upon the form oflhe Russian communlca-
ton, but that form was not with Russia
matter of choice. Nothing would have
been more satisfactory to the Russian
Government than to have arrived at the
result by agreement with the Powers who
were parties TO the Treaty, but the Bri-
fish Ministry is reminded that all the al
tempts made on various occasions to as
semble the Powers to deliberate, with a
view to remove complications dangerous
to the general peace, have invariably fail
ed. The present crisis, and the total ab-
seuce of any regular authority in France,
puts off the possibility ofsuch agreement,
while the position of Russia, in conse-
quence of the Treaty, becomes more and
more intolerable. The Europe of to-day
is very far from being the same as the
Europe which signed the Act of 1856, and
il was impossible for Russia to remain
alone indefinitely bound to an agreement
which, onerouS as, it was when first con-
cluded, has been gradually reft Of all its
guarantees. The Emperor was too con-
scious of his duty to his country to i'm
pose upon it any longer an obligation
which was repugnant to the national feel
ing. The Prince denies that the abr0ga-
ton of a theoretical principle, without
immediate application, and which does
but restore to Russia o right Of which no
great Power should be deprived, consti-
tutes any danger to peace, or that cancel
ling one point in the Treaty OF 1856 is
tantamount 10 annulllnS the treaty ALTO
gether. Such had not been the intention
of the Imperial Cabinet, which, on the
contrary, in the despatch of October 81
had explicitly declared that the Emperor
still adhered to the general principles of
the Treaty, and that he was prepared to
consider with the Powers which signed
the Treaty whether the general stipula-
tions should be confirmed, whether thew
should be renewed, or whether an entire-

A Young MAJ killed BY /. school Teacher
-efeat EXcisemsnseYA -.
From q correspondent at Greenfield, the 1ndi
annapolis Necs gains the following pletietlarl
OF the killing OF . young man in Hsncool
| county: - y
Mr.. William Dunn was teaching tho unex.
pired term of school in the district where the
tragedy occurred, shout four miles from Green
field. He was teaching the 18th day Of his term
OF "a days ON Tuesday. = -. '',4"F
"The young man who was killed was named
Cant, and was the son of widow residing in
that district, and was about 10 years Of age. II
appears that he was making . display in the
| school.room Of what the teacher supposed to Be
pistol, and he was ordered, just before noon,
to take the weapon heme with him at night and
leave it there, or stay there himself. At noon
he said to HIS comrades, in the hearing of the
teacher, that he would do neither; that he would
come to school and bring the weapon with him.
The teacher, feeling that he must defend his au-
thority or lose the control of his school. told
him to shut his mouth or he would knock him
down, at the same time picking up the poker and
advancing toward Cant. Cant clutohsd heavy
billet of wood and dared Dunn to advance, which
be did, Wrestling the billet of wood from Cant,
letting it fall upon the floor, and as Cant was
turning to retreat for what purpose is not
kown), Dunn struck him over the head with the
poker, single blow, thinking to knock him
down, but it only felled him to his knees. Dunn,
seeing that he had stunned him, laid aside the
poker and told him to obey or leave. Cant took
his books, walked home, one and half miles
and, not telling the circumstances to his people,
they supposed he had q chill, and were paying
no special attention to the patient until the re-
turn of the school children made known the
cause of his ailment.
"Dr Howard, of Greenfield, was Immediately
called, but the patient had breathed his last at
p. n, Is minutes before the doctors arrival.
Word was sent to the sheriff, who deputized
Capt. Thomas and others to arrest Dunn. They
proceeded to his residence about hslf.past 10
o'clock in the evening, finding him asleep, and
little dreaming that the object of their call At
that unreasonable hour was to arrest him for
murder. They told him they had come to arrest
him for assault and battery, upon which he seem.
ed surprised, asking if Cant was much hurt. He
returned with tho officers TO town, where he was
first acquainted with the death Of Cant. He was
much affected, little dreaming he had struck .
blow sufficient to produce such sad result The
wooden poker used by Dunn is 80 inches in
length and about an inch AID . quarter through
at the butt end, tapering TO inch, at within 4
inches of the other end where il divides into two
prongs, with an enlargement at the fork. Tho
blow was inflicted upon the left temple.

CrOcOdIles.

Ut all wild animals, the crocodile seems to be
the most alarming and destructible. An Egyp-
tian sportsman, who supported himself and his
family by the produce OF his gun, about six years
since, with three of his neighbors, went 70 an
island called Geixet-il.Arsb-a fsvorits resort Of
crocodiles-to hunt for their eegs. Az they
were going round the island, three crocodiles es-
capped into the river. On examining the spot q
quantity OF eggs were discovered in tho sand
These they secured, and were proceeding back
to their tent, when q crocodile who had watched
the transaction rushed to the place Of her depos-
II, and 40 rapidly returned to the river. and
swimming, followed them opposite to their abode,
where until nightfsll her eyes were seen above
the water. The sportsmen toasted sunptuously
on their spoil; but as soon - the last embers
OF their fire had died away, the crocodile charged
them furiously, repeating her attack several
times during the night; and it was only BY the
frequent discharge of their firearms that they
kept her of at all Tho crocodile, which had
remained harmless, now became furious, and as-
tackled all the cattle it could catch upon the
riverside. Among the victims was fine marc
