After the protraoted drought, from
which this island has been s~uffering-Only
partially broken ct the close of last year
and the beginning of this-had frustrated
all hopes Of the crop now being taken off
turning out anything like a paying one,
there was oven much apprehension that
the yonng plants would suffer to such a
degree as to destroy the chances for the
next year-not to speak of the want OF
water, not only for manufacturing but
even for drinking purposes-the last Jew
days have again brought us some fine
showers, which will, to an appreciate
extent, inyigorate the sprouts and relieve
the other wants.
SO far this favourable meteorological
change will have a tendency to restore
confidence in the stability and vitality OF
this community, especially if we showed
not only the disposition but the ability to
turn those gifts to more practical account
in the line of tree-planting and "the en-
trapping Of the precious element in the
Barbadian way" We have often harped
upon this string, but Gf it be allowed to
compare great things to small ones) we
are inclined to think that if Cato had
lived in our time and in St. Croix, not
1000 years ago and at Rome, and had
he been writing in the Avis, and not
speaking to Roman senators, he would
certainly have modified his famous
pretereo ceaseo etc into something like our
trite: Why has nothing been done to pre-
vent some part of the water from running
right into the sea 2" In dry years even the
weeds won't grow, but the Glands" are
there all the same. Why not use them?

 Sickness has been very prevalent of late. Mrs. Palmer has been very sick for weeks. but in slowly improving. Mrs. Lydia Cook is also slowly recovering from long sickness MT. Lyman Per- kins is gradually failing and is unable to walk without assistance. Mss Adeline Alfred has been sick some time. at Ros- we'll Scoville's. Mrs. Ann Gibbs is also very sick, recovery doubtful.
 The boys damned mp the John Bull meadow, before the recent rains, to make a skating rink for the coming winter, but finding that the pond would not be large enough for ambitious skaters, they pro- cAeded to undam it, after it had got full. While thus employed, MT. Geo. Bently managed to slip into the seething waters, up to his chin, and had a narrow escape from drowning.
 MT. Thomas Williams has bought the Phoebe Atkins place, in the fifth district, formerly occupied by James Burwell, Price, $5OO. One of our young men recently went to 8 neighbors to borrow double -barreled shotgun. Having procured the gun. be- ing desirous of chat with the farmers daughters. he accordingly stepped into the kitchen, Jour farmers daughters don't sit in the parlor in the daytime.) While thus employed, and toying with the gun, one barrel was suddenly discharged, the going through partition int the pantry, knocking pan of milk off of 8 shelf to the floor; the gun kicked from his hands and dropped to the floor in the midst of the startled trio, but luckily the other barrel was not discharged,o we might have had more serious damage to record. The youth will be careful moi to toy with loaded guns, while he is in the presence of young ladies, in future, we think.

The Anchor Snap Co.,, who have just begun manufacturing a new snap, promi . ses to be success. The snap, the inven- tion of Mir. Chas. Blakeslee, is believed to be the only safe snap in market. The safety consists in the opening which by projections prevents the escape of the ring, no matter in what position the ani- nal may chance to place the snap or ring. Every one who has inspected it pro- nounces It perfectly safe. So far the con- pany have been unable to fill their orders, but with improved facilities, they soon hope to be ready for any calls they may have.

 Our pastor, the Rev. William How ard, has rendered his resignation of the pastorate of the Congregational church.

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clam or and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice. And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" --. .
 Conscious of my own rectitude, and knowing was actlated by no malice to-, wards the Congregational Society, either as body or individuals, I think the card from Northfeld in last weeks paper was uncalled for, and I am confident that if the matter had been fully understood some of those names would have never appeared. I was called upon by two mem- bers of the society, and, to both, express ed my regret that anything in that article was untrue, and as failed to understand in what particular 1t misrepresented ex- cept in general terms. requested both of the members aforesaid to favor me with a written article and would publish it over my own signature.
