A gentleman of this place walked out
to Supinger's woods on Sunday, 4th inst.
for the purpose of enjoying a rest under
the shade of a sturdy old oak. He passed
the time pleasantly reading one of his
county papers, until overcome by sleep
he yielded himself to the embraces of the
drowsy god. His slumbers were sweet,
until he dreamed he was confined to that
we'll heated abode where little imps were
tearing the flesh from his lower extremi-
ties with red hot pincers. He awoke to
find himself completely surrounded by a
corps of grasshoppers. His coat pre-
scented the appearance of a fly net with
unusually large meshes, while his pants
no longer afforded protection against the
voracious crew who were disposed TO
change vegetable for animal food. He
returned minus god coat and pants, a
wiser but much sadder man.

On last Wednesday, the west bound
passenger train came in contact with a
very heavy shower of rain. at a point near
Tumbling Run bridge about eight miles
North of this place. The rain was so
heavy, that it cooled off the engine so
rapidly as to condense the steam to such
extent, that the engine was not able to
draw the train. After number of I'M
successful efforts a good head of steam
was gotten up and the train moved on,
having lost fifteen minutes between
Strasburg and Toms Brook stations. A
number of passengers who were on board
the train say they would not have believed
the above h ad they not been eye witnesses.
They believe because they saw it, those
who did not see it, by lively exercise of
faith in those who did, may believe it.

To the Editor of "The St. Croix Avis"
Dear Sir /!
trust you will make no objections to giving
the following a little space in your valued
columns, knowing the interest you take in all
matters for the general good, and especially
as you are one of the founders of the above
named Company. l am anxious, as Manager
OF said company to show up the value of
Nigbt-SOil and will therefore beg leave
to refer your readers to a German work, on
"The Employment of Human Excreta and
Animal Remains in Agriculture" by Wilhelm
Hahn, from which / extract the following state.
ment of the value to the Planters of a manure
that is still almost entirely wasted in every part
of this Island. According to these tables,
the human excrement of our population of
$4,000 is equal, in respect to its nitrogen.
to (57,5oO) Fifty seUen thousand fUe hundred
tons Of cattle dung. This is a statement that
Sneeds no comment. / recommend it to the
careful consideration of all who care for the
problem of this Islands prosperity.

ordinance of 21st December 1874 the
term was fixed at the end Of 1875, but as
it has proved impossible to establish a
Company before the close of this year, the
Government proposes that the term within
which such facilities must be sought be
extended to the end Of 1876. The Presi-
dent made a few remarks on the Draft,
which then passed without discussion to
second reading.
The second item on the order of the
day was first discussion of Additional
Gram for $50, 900 to meet Bureau Advan-
ces from October to December this year
and January to March next year. The
President in recommending the Draft sta
ted that under the authority given by the
lately sanctioned ordinance for raising a
loan on behalf of the Colonial Treasury, the
Government had sought and obtained
the consent Of the Ministry to use an amount
OF S45, 900 due to the State Treasury on
the loan from last year, to meet Bureau
Advances to planters for the above term.
No were made on the Draft,
which passed to second discussion.
At the request of the President the
Council agreed unanimously thar he second
discussion OF the Draft concerning Cen
trial Factories should come on in this
meeting. The Chairman gave the neces-
sary time for handing in amendments, but
none were proposed. The Draft passed
to third discussion, which the Council
Likewise agreed to proceed with at once.
The Chairman here alluded to the change
that had taken place silc3 the original
ordinance was passed, there being now no
question Of the State Treasury's guarantee,
as by The Law Draft introduced into the
Diet 1t was proposed that the Treasury
should grant a loan towards the establish
ment of Central Factories here but of
course, the Colonial Treasury's guarantee
remains unaltered. Mr.. Faber asked for
information as TO the present stage of
the Central Factory Question, to which
the President replied that he intended, at 8
meeting of planters and other gentlemen
later IN the afternoon, to give a statement of
the present prospects of this whole matter.
The Draft was adopted unanimously
with IL votes.
The Council then took in hands the
second discussion of the Money Bll for
Bureau Advances, to which no amend
ment was proposed, aud it was adopted
unanimously with 10 votes.
The Chairman, in closing tho meeting,
invited, at the request of the President,
the members to attend the meeting in
which His Excellency intended to make a
communication on the Central Factory
question.
A Meeting of Planters and others inter
ested in the establishment of Central Fac
tories here was, at the invitation of His
Excellency the Vicegovernor, held at the
Government House on Monday, in which
His Excelleucy made a communication
of the present stage and prospects of the
matter, which, SO far as we have learned,
are encouraging, IF WE DO OUR PART.
We hope III our next to be able to give
an authentic statement of the information
conveyed at the meeting.

this Island would amount to many dollars per

besomewhat less than this of course, very much
OF this value would be wasted if the most per-
feet system that our ingenuity could devise
were adopted for every community Of sufficient
size to come under any sanitary or economic
discipline but the amount which might be

subject one of the most important that We osn
