papers of such subjects as are most likely
to interest our readers, and to keep up the
typographical accuracy by which the
paper is marked.
We shall always be glad to receive
contributions from our friends, containing
any useful information or valuable sugges.
tions, but there is one class Of communica-
tions we shall certainly decline. We are
too small q community, and the interests Of
all in this island are too closely linked
together, to make it either pleasant or
profitable for US to do much quarrelling,
whether religious or political. Feeling as
we do, that a newspaper is no place Tor
a man to air his private grievances against
another man, it is not our intention to
allow the Avis to be made the vehicle Of
~osrsondl abuse. We are not in a position
to set ourselves up as Mentors Of the West
Indian press in general, or as mod is for
its imitation. But we hope to be at
least free from that vice which IS the curse
OF SO many West Indian newspapers, viz.
the admission with anonymous signatures,
OF abusive personalities. We shall discuss
measures freely, not men.
The new arrangement for carrying on
the publication of the Avis can only be
regarded as an experiment, as it is quite
uncertain whether the proprietoTs can be
protected from loss and although, as it is
we'll known, they did not become the
possessors Of this paper with the view Of
making a profit, still they can hardly be
expected to continue it with a recurring
annual loss. We do not however wish to
commence our duties by joining the ranks
of the croakers, and would rather express
the hope that such q favorable ct.augo
may come over our trade aud industries
as will gladden. the hearts Of our fellow
co!onists, aud, as one OF is minor results,

ON RETURNING THE MEGASS
TO THE SOIL.

Santa Cruz is an agricultural colony /;
with the success or failure Of lis agrieui-
ture the colony must stand or fall. As
many Of our readers are practically en3ag-
ed in the business, and all are more or less
interested in it, we think that our space
might be frequently occupied with profit
in discussing agricultural questions bearing
on operations carried on here. We shall
therefore follow the exampls of our prede-
cessor in printing from time to time such
extracts from agricultural works and Jour
malls. as may seem applicable to our local
cultivation. KOowing nothing Of the
matter practically, and very little In any
way, we shall be thankful for letters from
planters on the subjects, which may be
started. Such correspondence, if c~ontain-
ing the results of personal observation and
experience, and not mere opinions, would
we think render this paper of considerable
local value, and we hope therefore that
our planting friends will come forward
and help Us. The article which we print
below is from THOMAS KERR'S Treatise
on the cultivation of the sugar c%ane,'' and
we have selected it because the introduce
ton Of the Central Factory system here
opens up to planters the prospect of saw
ing the megass for application to the soil,
instead of, as hitherto, consuming it in the
furnaces.
We are aware that there is a difference
OF opinion among our planters both as to
the value of the megass, and as to the best
way Of applying it, and on these points
we shall be glad to hear from them.

We are informed that Mr.. J.. B.. CAMERON

fering with the efficiency will, at the same
time, effect o great economy in the working
of the service.
, 1877-04-04

"The other important point which I
would urge on the attention of the planter,
and to which I slightly adverted before,
is, to return to the soil every portion of
the structure of the cane. both in megass,
and in the refuse of the boiling house and
distillery. This will, of course, meet with
much opposition from those who are &C.
customed to consider megass the only fuel
adapted to the evaporation Of cane juice.

The Ransom school Bill.

This bill codi6es the present school
laws, and amends the same by reducing
the District Directorship from three
members to one ; by creating Township
Board of Education, consisting of the
District Directors in q body; by creating
a county committee, elected by the town
ship boards, and consisting of one man
in each township board in the county =
The sole duty of the county committee
is to organize by election of President
and Secretary, elect County School
Superintendent, and make the rules for
his government. The County Superin.
tendent is charged with the same duties
as the City School Superintendents, and
in addition thereto is charged with the
duty OF taking the enumeration Of youth.
of conducting the county institutes, and
Of examination of teachers. The mon
ey heretofore required to pay for these
services, amounting to something over
500, 900 last year, is to be turned into the
county treasures, and, in the view of the
friends Of the bill, will cover the cost OF
county superintendency in the State.
The bill also reduces the maximum
levy for school purposes from seven to
six mills, and by amendment adopted on
the 4th inst, wipes out all the school leg
islation which discriminates between
white and colored youth. The bill has
been prepared with great care, and so
nearly harmonizes the views of the
school men all over the State that it may
be said to have the support of e5 per
cent of them. The North western Grange
Association indorsed the measure heart
lily, and abstracts from some 80 to 40
letters from prominent men from all
parts of the State were read on the SEN
ate floor asking for the law. It was sta
ted that Of the $4,000 country schools in
the State some 800 average in attendance
less than 10 scholars each, and under
this bill would be abolished that as ma
ny more would be consolidated, and yet
provide equally accessible school privi
leges to all the youth of the State, CIV
i ing better and more efficient schools at
. saving of S500,O00 year of the mon.
ey raised for that purpose.

R.-V. Pierce does not recommend any
one or even his whole list of standard
remedies as adequate to cure every dis

bronchial, throat, and chronic lung dis
eases, he believes his Golden Medical
Discovery is unsurpassed, but it will not
cure you if your lungs are half wasted
by consumption. The Discovery not
only exercises a potent influence over
pulmonary affections, by reason Of its
pectoral properties, but possesses also
the most valuable alternative, or blood.

sovereign remedy in blood and skin af.
fections. But while it will cure scrofu-
lous and other ulcers or sores, blotches,
pimples, and eruptions, it will not cure
cancer, nor does its manufacturer claim
any such merit for it as is done by pro-
prietors of other blood cleansing medi.
