THE "AVIS"
CHRTSTIANSTED, ST. CROIX,
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26rH 1874.

Our distinguished Contemporary, Cne
st. TAome TSdende, has discovered "a
lamentation'' in the columns of the Avis,
and that too in a leading article. The ar
ticle referred to is the one in the Avis of
the 10th instant, in which we gave vent
to the very general dissatisfaction here at
the highly defective state of communica-
ton between the islands. ParentheticalIy
we threw out a hint to the st. Thomas
papers to increase their publications in
stead of their size, or both, if convenient.
This suggestion appears to have been
taken by our esteemed contemporary, the
st. Thome Tidende, as a Joke. 1t says
''In the very suggestion offered by our
Contemporary to remedy the evils st. Crolx
labors under he ought to see the action
lies with the Crucians and not with u.s."
We did not know that the Tidende was
dependent upon the poor Crucians. Such
10 the isolation in which we live that
we may very we'll be excused for
having fancied that the Tidexde circulated
in all parts of the world, even from China
to Peru. We may have been mistaken,
and beg ~"sorrowfully to ask, how comes
it to pass that this should not be so ?'
"Were we to do so," (adopt the Avis sug-
g~estion), says the Tidende cit would beno-
thing less than cutting off our and spoil
our face, orJust dancing according to the
tune St. Croix played" Now be it remem-
bered that we had suggested the publica-
ton OF the same quantity of matter little
%ottener, not even knowing that our Co.
temporary 'had been seriously thinking Of
increasing in size," and we did not know
that such an improvement should have the
dreaded effect of depriving any one of his
nose or spelling his face. We plead mot
guilty of such an atrocious attempt, and al
though we have no doubt that the st. Tho
mas papers would find increased subscrip-
ton both here and elsewhere, ifthe improve
ment were adopted, thereby Iessening the
chances Of the Avis and such like pro-
auctions being sought as Neeos Papers,
we yet would not by any means be again
cought in recommending our friends to do
any thing that involves the awful respon-
sibility of "disiguring" them for life.
The number of the Tidende, containing
the article referred to and partly quoted
above, is dated the 10Th and was received
here or the path, along with the number
of the 23rd.

They were well discussed, FIRST by Mr.
Fleetwood, who made short and excel

and the duties of every protesting christian
to do all in his power to help forward the
cause of temperance.
A brief address was then made by Mr.

After the meeting was called to order and
hymn sung, prayer was offered by Mr.
Anterior. The following resolution for
discussion was then read:

against the several temperance orders are
unfounded and from unreliable sources.
y few remarks were made by w II Solo

Resolved, That the thanks of delegates
from abroad to this session of this union are
due and hereby rendered TO members of

perance of this village, who have so kindly
and beautifully entertained us at their
homes.
1t was suggested by Mr. Brownell that
ten minutes be given for any who might
wish to raise any objection against the or
der OF Good Templars. As no one respond
ed, Mr.. Gleason occupied the time with q
few pleasing remarks.
Mr Brownell said he thought the prin

not SO much the dislike of secret societies
as their unwllingness to sacrifice so much
as TO sign the pledge of total abstinence.

John Mcmahon ArreBtcd,

The champion wrestler of America, John
Mcmahon, was arrested Ivy Deputy Sheriff
Sanderson yesterday noon. The circum-
stances of the reason Of his arrest seem to
be, that, as 1t appears, he was arrested on
the 23d of April last for assault on Charles
Billings of Rutland, on writ issued IN
behalf Of the state. On trial of that case
he was bound up IN the sum Of S55. After
the trial for breach Of the peace n civil suit
was brought against him, the declaration
naming $1,000 for winch he was bound
up to await tho next term Of the county
court, Edward, Lyston giving bail. When the
court convened Mcmahon was absent ard
has been away until Wednesday last. On
his return to Rutland his attention was
called to the bail bonds hanging over him,
hc was notified TO appear at the Shcrilf's
Office at twelve o'clock on Yesterday noon.
He appeared and procured bail on the
State case of Patrick Trayers, his first bail
having been surrendered. On the civil
case it appears that Lyston had given up
the bail unknown to McSlahon. The lat
ter was apprised of this on his leaving tho
office and on being presented with the
papers by Deputy Sheriff san erson lie ac-
ceptcd the invitation to so with the deputy
to Jail and offered no resistance. In the
evening he was bailed out by John Haley
