T0 the Editor Of the "St. CrOiX Avis"
Mr.. Editor.

Some time ago, a correspondent OF yours,
in commenting on the Fire Brigade of this
town. very properly asked the question
Where is the money to come from to defray
the necessary expenses? His W answer
proposed the abolition of the Vice-Goyer-
n0r's post, and in connection, "the appr0-
priating Of the Recommendations as Of
ice-departments THE upper stories for
Council-Hall and the Administrative Off
ces the lower stories as Courthouse. in
the stead OF the deiapidated and costly con-
Germ now on hand"
Since then, however, the Vice Cover
nor's post has been so warmly defended by
His ExceIlency Governor Billie, that it IS
hardly to be supposed the Committee on
the Draft of Ordinance concerning salaries
ETC., will propose its abolition. AS there
is, indeed, no such thing as closed doors in
st. Croix, therefore every body, yourself
included, Mr.. Editor, probably knew
enough of our ways to foresee pretty accu-
rately what we had to expect.
But suppose, now, the question of Vice
Governor, or President, versus secretary, be
settled in favour of the former appellation
and consequent dignity, will that produce
any scrupulosity at all against the public
building being made use Of as proposed by
"Libra"? Would not your correspondents
proposal be as applicable as ever? AS a mo-
derate retrencher, | would 60 a step further,

time, a time not far removed from the pre-
sent, when it was found amply sufficient

am-proudIy do | say it-as much in
favour of having the Military as am OPP
posed to the Militia organisation and with
the slpgle exception Of there being too ma
ny officers too highly saIaried, / am very
glad to find the condition of the poor pri-
yate soldier and his non-commissioned Off
Ger somewhat bettered, both in ready cash
and ill clothing. But what possible bene-
fit can it be to these men to be thus scat
tered in a building Of such enormous de-
mansions ? could there not be found for
them another place equally comfortable
aud equally suitable, from military point
OF view, and more so, from the economi-
cal Take, for instance, the Fort, Depot,
and the Danish 0cho0i-h0use might not
one or more, wholly or in part, be used for
Military purposes; and the barrac'l entire
be converted into the school-house for all
our public schools, under one roof? Sup
pose we say, the down stairs for an Infant
School, the middle story for the Common
School, and the upstairs for the Higher
School how convenient for the Head-mas-
ter and Inspector!
AT the expense Of a few hundred dollars,
this building could be transformed into a
most suitable school-house, with seperate
entrances; besides, the fine play ground
connected with each, would form no small
attraction in securing a good attendance, a
point on which SO very much depends.
4 need hardly say, we might then pull
down the old nuisance now called a Court
house, or sell it along with it's adjoining
lot, thereby aiding the impoverished, pub
lie funds from which the proposed thou
sands are to be drawn for the repairing of
this miserable shanty, and for improving
the condition of one of our ~milch-cows,
that poor, disgraceful wharf.
remain yours truly

To the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis "
Mr.. Editor,

I'LL A4NlNOl;
Anxiously l sought "Tho Situation, y obtained
it, and was glad but, like all situations yield
ing profit, it was not without some degree of
annoyance; hence, ] am not sorry that the
firm has determined to close for the present.
Accept, howeve., Mr.. Editor, my thanks for
having published it, as we'll as for publishing
these my remarks on The same.
Caustic, in his 6 articles, has not failed to
show the bane as well as the antidote of the
renowned ''LabOur Act but, unfortunately,
cine SituatiOn'' is such as to entitle him to
his assumed appelIation.
Taking advantage of his desire as expressed
in his reply to "a Friend of the Labourer," /
beg to point out what [ do not fully agree to,
with the expectation that, as he so nicely clear
ed up to him, what no one else seems to have
misunderstood, 50, he may in like manner clear
up to ne, what. perhaps, no one else misun-
derstanQs
in sheet No. IA, Caustic seems to forget that
the regulating of the hours of labour by the
rising and setting Of the sun, amounts to
the same as an exact number of hours regula-
ted from such an hour to such an hour; for
whatever time either party gains, or looses, at
one period of the year, is fully balanced at
another, precisely in the same manner as every
part of the globe receives the same amount of
light annually, though differing as to its daily
portion.
In sheet No. 20, we see him so pleased to
find the aged and infirm provided for, that he
would always have it SO, to the great disadvan-
tage of the planters purse. In this respect, he
is quite Inconsistent. If this be justice, what,
then, becomes of the injustice so largely ex-
patiated upon in one article after another from
his very able pen? What becomes of that self
dependence, and that self-reliance so warmly
and so justly advocated by Caustic
ldoadmit there was some excuse for aidingthe
aged and inirm during the first years succeeding
the Emancipation, for they had become such
under slavery, when they had no money given
them for their labour but to expect the same
from any planter, % years after this event,
would be to expect, in my opinion, a little too
much.

receiving their payment, however small, should in

Poke Root!

Wherever Poke Root grows, it has q
local reputation as Blood Purifier, and
for the cure of Rheumatism. With all
this local reputation, and the praise Of
distinguished Physicians Drs. Coe, Lee,
King, Wilson NJ. Hunt, Grifiits, COPELAND
and Others who have tested is medical
powers; it has been neglected 10y the pro-
fessicn at large, as much through a want
Of u proper appreciation its merits, as
knowledge Of the proper way to prepare
il for medicinal use. Dr. Oliver Crook,
Ia physician who devotes lis entire time
to the duties cf his profession, has fully
tested the active medicinal qualities oi
Poke Root during tie last % years, and
mhositatingly pronounces it to have
MORE MERIT-for diseases depending OH

any and all other articles named in the
Matcria Medica. Under his instructions

medicinal qualities Of Poke Root with

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair q splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
