His ExcelIency, Governor Garde, arriv-
ed here on Wednesday evening in the
Schooner " Adrianna," accompanied by the
gentlemen WHO have been appointed to
superintend the erection of the Central
Factory, with exception of Civil Engineer
Andersen, who resides in St. Thomas
and will only come over here when his
presence may be- required) viz: Colonel
Boeck, who, with Mr.. Andersen, has been
appointed by the Minister of Finance to
form a Committee of Control in behalf of
the State Treasury, Lawyer VasSard and
Cand. polyt. hartmann, the former as the
commercial and the latter as the technical
conductor of the business.
Yesterday the Meeting of the Colonial
Council, convened by the Chairman at the
request of His Exceljency the Governor,
was held. The Governor was present,
and the honorable Chairman delivered a
very appropriate and eloquent address on
the occasion OF which we shall not attempt
to give ever the very brief resume we
are accustomed to furnish OF Council mat
tiers, in order not to f~orestall the official
report, which will of course appear soon,
and in it's usual lucid and explicit manner.
His Excellency, the Governor, in a very
interesting speech of some length, dwelt
upon his appreciation Of the support he felt
he had derived from the warm sympathy
evinced by this community in behalf Of
the cause he had undertaken to further to
the best of his ability. The sympathy ard
interest shown here had greatly facilitated
his mission and contributed much to bring
the cause to its present state. He gave
the reasons for the various notifications
of the original plan, which was to erect
two Factories for the whole island, and
principally, why the Eastern part Of the
island, say, from Christiansted to Kings
bin, had been selected in preference
to the Western part. He also dwelt
at some length OF the difficulties
Of the money market at the present
time. which is anything but favoura-
BILE to any enterprise, be it even prov
ed to be ever SO profitable a means
of Investment, and he therefore felt ex-
tremely thankful to those prominent men
in the Mothercountry who had made it
possible to bring the matter to its present
happy conclusion, by having secured the
requisite capital on shares for the erection
of the Factory, if even with certain modi-
fcations as to the extent of its operations,
and he took this opportunity to express
it. II was also gratifying to him, he said,
and it had been help to him in his work,
that SO much general interest had been
shown the cause in this island as was
evinced by the AMOUNT of money sub
scribed, which, taking the depressed state
of the community ipto consideration, was
q respectable effort. He expressed the
hope that the Factoryin its working would
secure the island a prosperous future, 50
that il would be enabled to pay it's way.
as it is the expressed feeling, both Of the

THE UNDERSIGNED inhabitants OF this
island beg leave most respectfully to pre-
sent to Your ExceIlency our congratula-
tons and fluctuations on the occasion of
your safe return from the MothercOuntry,
and on the accomplishment of, we venture
to say, one of the most, if not the most,
important of missions, ever undertaken By
any one in behalf of this little community.
1t is not our intention to attempt. at
present, even in a cursory manner, to
enter upon any exposition Of the impor-
lance we attach to the mission of Your
Excellency. You were quick to perceive the
necessity OF the extraordinary duties which
this community, through its representa-.
tives, begged you TO assume, and, now that
that task has been SO ably and success
fully accomplished, we pray you to receive
from our hands this humble but heartfelt
acknowledgement of the gratitude we
feel towards you, hoping Your Excellency
may reap from your strenuous exertions,
all the satisfaction which they have so
eminently merited.
1t would lead us too far were we to
follow the natural impulse Of the heart on
this occasion, by doing more than gratefully
alludiOg to the unparalleled generosity Of
the Home Government. the Diet, and
every one on whom the success of the
grand enterprise has depended,-but it
nevertheless appears to US that had it not
been for the great energy used by you in
the prosecution of all your plans, and the
perseverance with which those plans were
carried through, the result might have
been otherwise. Therefore, next to fruit:
fol seasons, which we continue to hope for
, 1876-10-21


Danish Government and Diet, as we'll as
of the People, that the island, after the ter
mination of the present labour relations,
must rely on its own resources Tor existence.
The conviction on their part that this
would be the case had also contributed
to the carrying out Of the scheme, Our
agriculture may be improved as well
as, and in like manner as, our manu-
f~acture, but experiments to test the
value of other methods may be too
much for single individuals. Associa-
ton and cooperation are necessary ele-
ments OF self help, He was happy to con-
vey to the people Of this community
through its Council the greeting of His
Majesty, who had desired him to express
his sympathy for tn people Of this island
and his interest in their present undertake
ing and future welfare.
The Chairman closed the proceedings
by thanking in behalf of the Council, and
requesting His ExcelIency to convey to
His Majesty the feelings of gratitude Of
this community, as also to the Ministry
and Diet, and those prominent men who
have come forward in the noble manner
they have, to take our cause in their hands.
The meeting was closed at II O'Clock and
at 2 His Excellency was waited upon by the
gentlemen who had been deputed to pre-
sent the congratulatory address, to which
reference has been made previously by US,
and which he was pleased to accept in the
great hall Of the Government House,
where numerous inhabitants had assem-
bIed, according to a notice issued that he
would hold q reception on the occasion.
The address having been banded to
him, His ExcelIency thanked for the
kind feelings expressed in it, and in
q speech 10 the assembly Of citizens
present, he expressed the same sentiments
and ideas be had already uttered in the
Council, and which our readers will have
more detailed than our space aud time
will allow to-day, in the official proceed
ings in a subsequent issue of the avis"
TO which we would beg to draw the parti-
cular attention Of our readers.
The following is the address mention
ed in the above, with the signatures.

Modern Women,

It IS sad commentary upon our bost- ed civilization that tbe women of our times have .degenerated in health and physique until they are literally race of
 invalids-pale, nervous, feeble and back achy, with only here and there few mo-
 ble exceptions in the persons of the TO-
 bust, buxum ladies, characteristic of tue sex in days gone by. By very large ex- periences covering aperiod of years, and
 embracing the treatment of many thous- ands of cases of those ailments peculiar
 to women, Dr. Pierce, of the World 8 Dlspensatory, Buffalo, N. r., has perfect ed. by the combination of certain vegeta. bie extracts, natural specific, which he does not extol as 8 cure-all, but one which admirably fulfills singleness of purpose,
 being a most positive and reliable remedy for those weaknesses and complaints, that afhict the women of the present day. This natural specific compound is called Dr
 Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The fol lowing are among those diseases in which
 this wonderful medicine has worked cures as If by magic and with certainty never
 before attained by any medicines: Weak
 back, nervous and general debility, fall. ing and other dlsplacements of internal organs. resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fever, congestion. inflammation and ulcer
 ation and very many other chronic dis
 eases incident to women, not proper to
 mention here, in which, as we'll as in the
 cases that have been enumerated, the Fla.
 vorite Prescription effects cures-the mar | vel of the world. It will not do harm in
 any state or condition of the system, and
 by adopting its use the invalid lady may
 avold that severest of ordeals s-the con.
 sulting of family physician. Favorite
 Prescription is sold by dealers in medi- cines generally. e
