adjustment 10 Frederiksted has been
now. completely Withdrawn. We learn
that on the 31st March the Fort in
that town was handed over to the civil
authorities to be used as a police Office, and,
for other purposes.
The Fort was built in 1860, or about
25 years after the purchase of the island
by Denmark from the King of France. and
has no doubt served the end for which
it was designed. It's abandonment will
perhaps be regretted by some; but we
think no one can doubt the wisdom Of

needed we can scarcely believe, as, notwith-
standing the hard times. u population
