A SINGULAR CAsE.-John L. Norman
filed a suit on Saturday at St. Louis
against the st. Louis, Vandalia and Ter
re Haute railroad company, claiming
$4,000 for having been poisoned and
physically ruined for life while assisting
to build depot for the company in East
St. Louis, last summer. The timber used
in the construction of the depot was sat.
urated with arsenic and other poisons to
prevent decay. Five or six workmen
died from the effects of the absorption
of the poison into their systems. Eleven
other workmen fled suits against the
company in Belleville, Ill, last summer.

To the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Dear Sir !!

OCuI Dll =
Ifyou do not think the Public has had enough
OF the Military question, please put these lines
in your "Avis."
| have always been a friend of the Military,
have always defended them when aggressed
and have seen with pleasure, what they or ale
to do, when used. Lately | have seen with the
greatest sati~faction, how they have behaved at
the fire at "Big La Grange for which they re-
ceived a remuneration. But this pleasure of mine
was destined to be very short. Myself and many
others were highly disappointed by not finding
one soldier at the last fire ("Princesse'0 What
was the %reason2 l can notsay. The Governor
and Judge were there in less than no time. Of
course, Policemen from this town and at least one
from KingshiIl were there in a very short time.
Of course all the Managers and Overseers from
round about were there with their people.
There was no want Of people, and it seemed so,
no want of water. All worked well, but as we
always see, every one will follow his own head
and hear no command. This can not be other
wise. Adiferent thing it is with trained soldiers,
commanded we'll they are strong, active peo-
pie. doing what they are ordered,to. TheirCom-
mander of course gets orders from the Judge
and the Inspector, he gives them to bis people,
and all goes as clockwork.
What could have been saved, if the guard
on the walls of the Fort had seen the fire, when
it broke out had reported it at once if an Of
fcer and but a dozen of Priyates had been sent
out at once, nobody can say. But in my
opinion a dozen of soldiers would have saved
the lumberhouse aud kept the fire to the ma
gassstacks and by that kept off the great dan
ger from the works and the ether houses.
AS far as know, there is in the Fortyard a
large Wagon, strong horses; if not to be used
for such purposes, | do not see any reason to
keep them. In short, if the soldiers are not to be
used, let US give them up the sooner the better,
10000 dollars a year for nothing is a little too
much.
I suppose, our active Governor and Judge
will give me credit for this and be of my opin-
ion.
1t just comes in mind, that [ passed Estate
Jealousie many years ago, a few minutes after
a fire had broken out in one of the labourers
houses. A very short time after Lieutenant
("Major'0 Holstein with bis troop galloppiug to
the place, order was soon amongst the crowd, and
but one house burned. The Dragons, or what
they are, had been in such a hurry, that several
of them were in slippers.
If Lieutenant Holstein had his own order and
the present Commander in the Fort has a sepa-
rate, [ do not know. I suppose it was left and
is left at present to act as best.

Immediately no further damage was done.
which was likewise the case with the negro vii
lage, where several houses also took fire
which was at once put out. The wind being
very high, the danger of further obstruction
was great. We understand that 2 Of the build
ings on Estate Little Princess, the managers
house and the former sickhouse, are insured in
the "Royal."

seat. 1t consists, as already mentioned, of
ian enormously strong iron frame, carrying
p tines or teeth shaped like the fiukes OF an

on which the whole frame rests, is crauked,

keeping the tail rope (the idle one)
fclear of the implement. The lever itself
