1874 lines of rain were recorded at the
Fort this morning.
The Southern side of a Cyclone passed
over this island yesterday. The first signs
OF it's approach were seen on Monday al
ternOOn,. when a stiff breeze began to
blow from the northeast and the barometer
to fall. Al five O'Clock the barometer had
gone down 2 tenthS OF an inch, and during
the night it fell another tenth.
BY daylight yesterday the wind had
veered till nearly north and it was plain
that the centre of the storm would pass us
on the north-side, but whether it would
pass SO near as to bring us within the
destructive ring, or hurricane, could not
then be fOreSeen. The reef presented a
magnificent spectacle and the interest of
the scene was intensified by the appc trance
Of ~ schooner outside running for the
harbour. 1t SOOn proved to be the Atlantic,
which had left West End for St. Thomas
at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, but
had given up the contest with the wind
and sea and was now running in for re-
fUge. The Atlantic ran III safely and
anchored near the Vigilant, and as The
wind increased it became an anxious ques-
ton whether these vessels, which were
dragging their anchors from time to
time, could be saved. One of two TOrtOla
boats lying at the wharf was dashed
TO pieces and the other sank. At 8
O'Clock the flag was run up at the
fort and the regulation four guns were
fred. The wind was then due north and
was evidently increasing rapidly in force.
Soon afterwards it began to veer westerly
and before IL o'clock was blowing from
NV. Shortly before this, Capt. PeJersen'S
two large boats used in shipping sugar
broke from their mornings and were driftcd
down TO GallOws Bay one with its mast
broken. The wind continued to veer till
at l O'clock it was blowing due west and
it became plain that we were to escape the
hurricane.
Business was of course completely sus.
pended, but otherwise the damage lone
in town has been limited to the blowing
down of q very few trees and old fences.
The post carriage Gid not leave for West
End, and Geographic communication with
that town was stopped early in the morn
ing By the falling of a cOcOanut tree across
the wires. We hope BY return post today
70 get some news from our western neigh
b0urs.
Since writing the last sentence we have
been favoured with the particulars which
will be found below.

The Dial on Cane Cultivation In

From what we are able to learn Of the
activity now being displayed by planters

cane-planting industry in this island.

several lighters are ashore there, and the
north part of the Hospital gallery blown
down. The telegraph wires on the road are i'll
many places thrown down, and the road is
blocked at Strawberry Hill and Sion Farm
by fallen cocOanut trees, so that our inform
ant had to pass over the private roads of
those estates in order to continue his
journey.
We are sorry to learn that the schooner
N. Hand, which was drifted ashore near
the Custom House at West End yesterday,
is a total wreck. Some of the cargo may
be saved later. The ship was fully loaded
and was to have sailed to-day.
AS we remarked last Saturday, the
recently published statement of the New
ST. CrOix Savings Bank for the year from
the 1st of April 1888 to the 31st Of March
1889 is a very satisfactory document.
First Of all we find that the deposits for
tie year reached $20,288.69, over $1,000
more than in the previous year, and the
highest total yet reached. OF that SUN
nearly So, 1000 was left in the Institution
at the close of the year, raising the amount
in hand for depOsiterS, after adding inter
est, from $50, 800 to $39, 800. The deposits
were 4 ,545, and it is satisfactory to note that
more than four ffthS of these were deposits
VARYING from 20 cents to So, showing that
the bank is used mainly by the class OF
people for whom it is chiefly intended.
We may fairly ascribe the increased
amount of deposits to increased confidence
in the institution; for it must be re-
%membered that the year accounted for in the
report closed on the 31st of March, that is
before the distribution of the large sums
paid for canes, which distribution no doubt
largely explains the great prosperity of the
Bank in the past few months. That the
funds of the bank have been carefully
managed appears from the fact that after
paying all expenses, it has been possible
to add $500 Of clear profit to the General
Fund. Looking at the way the funds are
invested, we find that the bulk is lent
against mortgages of town properties.
This is mostly in small amounts and on
first priority security. 1t will be seen that
about 3 1000 had been invested in State
Treasury bonds, a desirable mode of ill.,
vestment for at least Il part of the funds, as
although they give less interest than local
bonds, these State Treasury bonds are
convertible into cash at any time.
We would advise our readers who may
feel interested in the Institution to study
the numerous details of Il report which We
think will tend much to increase the cOnti-
dence of the public in this valuable insti-
tuition.

The IRON KING.

"My dear, pray what shalt we do?"
Once asked my loving wife;
We have no cook, you know, now,
TO stem the Kitchens strife;
This stopping aud cooking
Over fires large and hot,
Is perplexing and vexing,
Oh! who has cit It not?
1.-The lahors OF the kitchen,
Since our negroes went away,
Were both toilsome and irksome,
And still are so to-day;
Can't you tighten and brighten
This load OF heavy care,
That distresses, Expresses.
And drives me to despair ?"
Said |, "PIl go to FULToN's
And there a stove I'll buy,
No matter what the price is,
An IRoN KING III try;
Then roasting and toasting,
Will not wear away your life,
But a pleasure and treasure
Be to you my angel wife,"
So down to town ] hurried,
Almost as quick as thought,
And there from JOHN A. FULTON,
An IRON KING | bought;
And now broiling and boiling
Are the sweetest works in life,
No more caring, despairing,
Distresses now my wife.
Farewell, We dirty negroes,
I'm Independent now,
For wife can do the cooking,
With a smile upon her brow;
No whining, no repining,
No angry threatenings ring,
But my meals now, reveal now,
How cheap is Iron KING.
So now if you'd appease
a weary, suffering wife,
Her kitchen trials set at ease,
Secure a stove tor life;
It'll warm you and charm you,
Drive discomfort away,
Both your wife then, and life Il en-,
Prove sweet as flowers OF May.

The LAGRANGE Reporter, in urg.

"The Reporter believes strongly
in the necessity of 'mending our
ways if we would be happy and
thrifty people. Loss of temper,
time, and money is one of the dear
penalties imposed by our persists
ent neglect of the highways. We
have a good board of commission
ers in Troup county-men chosen
to look after roads and revenues
and they discharge their duties
honestly. But there is no public
opinion to back them in enforcing
the law and spending money for
their betterment. Our roads are
simply execrable. Grand juries

The territory of Dakota, with
population OF 100000, gave last
year for educational purposes s.
100000. Georgia, with a popue
lation of three tiues as great gave
last year about 100000. Our
school fund amounts to the NUNS
ficent sum of 875 cents head for
every boy and girl of school age in
the state.
From the above it would seem
that Georgia is doing but very lit
tie toward the education of her
children. This is the most impor>
tant question now before the peo-
pie Of this country and any one
who will think for one moment,
may see the gravity of it. 1t is
enough to make one shudder, to
see the number of children growing
up in this country without any ed
ucation, and our Legislators should
make larger appropriations for edu-
cational purposes and then make a
law forcing parents to send their
children to school.
