Estates within easy distances OF the Cen
trail Factory which formerly were in a
chronic state of Indebtedness are now clear,
prosperous, and well cultivated. The APP
probation by the Planters themselves of
the beneficial effect of the Usines was evil
denced by their continual desire to have
the line Of Railway extended so as to ena-
BILE them to forward their canes. At the
commencement there was considerable diff
fculty in coming to an arrangement where
Proprietors were under engagements to
Conslgnees, but as the latter (here called
Commissionaires) were almost always resi-
dents, or represented in the Island, they
agreed to wait the planters in the mean
time paying a commission, as before, up
on the quantity Of sugar made at the Usine
from their canes, the Director being qua
rantee. In some cases the Usine took up
these debts. After the disconnection of the
planters with the COMMISSIONERS the Co.
lonial Bank advanced money for the pur-
poses of cultivation at 6 p. ct, the Usine
being security for their repayment.

A A.Ouriosi,x o, Crime.

Carroll Sanborn, the gentleman bur
glar," is dead. He breathed bis last on
Sunday morning, December II, in Jail at
Lawrence, Mass Earlyin October San
born got mortal wound in fight with
a constable named Donovan. The latter
was bent on arresting his man, and sue
ceeded, with this result. 1t is said that
Sanboru made friends of all who ap-
preached him while in Jail, and that he
gave up freely all the property he had
stolen. He seems altogether to have
been singular character. In all re-
speets,, save his mania for burglary, he
lived pure and even exemplary life.
He touched no intoxicating drink and
no tobacco He was scrupulously faith
full to his wife and tenderly attached to
his family. His clergyman and physi-
clan concur in extolhng his amiable and
attractive disposition and gentlemanly
manners. They say that he did not really
care to accumulate wealth, and had none
but kindly feelings for his fellowmen.
His sole fault was his inextinguishable
passion for midnight burglary, form of
colossal kleptomania, which, strive as he
might, he could not control, The un-
happy man escaped the last disgrace OF
being doomed TO the State prison. He
pleaded guilty to the charges against
him in the arms Of his wife before the
bepchl had time to pronounce his sem
tpnop
