We know at last what has become of the
great cyclone. It appears that the centre,
after doing such terrible damage at Marti-
nique on the evening of the 18th, and passing
south of us on the afternoon of the 18th,
struck SANTANA on the goth, probably in the
morning. The st. Thomas Bulletin Of Monday
says by the mail yesterday intelligence
reached here stating that on the 10th inst.
SANTANA was visited by a hurricane which did
considerable damage to the crops, besides
destroying several houses.
Turks island would seem to lie nearly
in the storms path but we may hope that both
tins island and the Bahamas have escaped, and
that the cyclone has expended its force IN the
open Atlantic.
The schr. Mary appeared off this port on
Thursday afternoon, a boat was sent out to her
and the ST. Thomas mails and some passengers
were brought ashore. She got in about 10
o'clock yesterday morning, after a voyage OF
about 60 hours, and left yesterday evening
about Z o'clock, with His Excellency the Go
vernon and party on board.

Dear Sir,
I read "Justitia's'' lovely production
yesterday and Unjust confess that I was much
amused over it's perusal, nor was surprised at
its contents, as i more than half expected that
some such concoction would appear, from re-
marks which had already reached my ears.

In Justice Alvord's court, the first half of the present week shows rocky record.
 John Doe Kelly for rsiug vulgar language was fined the costs of the court.
 Adolph Garcia bit his wife. knocked her down and otherwise made bad record for St. Johns day. He was fined $50, in default of which he went 10 jail for 30 days When asked if he had any objection to waiving time to receive his sentence, he informed the judge that he was ready to receive his sentence and would will his wife to the court.
 A civil suit in which the plaintiff is c H. Platt and the defendant H Tropman, will be tried tomorrow. It is for trespass and damages, claim $50. It is needless to say that the root of all evil, the hog, is the cause of the misundersi andiDg. Another case of great moment is entitled Shuster vs Hsffner in which the claim of the plaintiff is for $50. The San Pedro river water must have a peculiar effect upon some of the people along it's bottom lands. No | less than three cases in as many days have been upon the docket in Justice Alyord's court. J. Hill walked into court on Sunday and pleaded guilty to a simple assault. He was fined $5 which he paid.
 The next scene was the appearance of Mir. FrakeI charged with a threat to kill Mir. Hill. He was put under bonds of $500 to keep the peace for six months.
 Now comes another case in which MT. Hill is charged by MT. Frsker with assault and battery. The papers will be served tomorrow morning by Constable Carr.
 The young bloods are also restless. Two young lads who reside in the up per part of town were arrested this morning for fghtin g and occupied g cell in the city jail for g half hour be- fore being taken before Justice John ston where they wer adjudged guilty and sentence defe red till Monday next.

IS conversation with Mir E B. Gage today representative of the PRosPEc- TeR took occasion 10 refer to the he- liei that he had declined the office of railroad commissioner, the title of which was conferred upon him by Gov Irwin. MT. Gage has declined the honor and gave several reasons for his non-acceptanee, the one which seemed to reflect the nature of the man being that it would be in bad taste for one whose business dealings with the railroads were extensive as s shipper to accept position where he would be called upon to regulate freights. It would strike most any one of average moral courage that un- der similar circumstancessh he position of railroad commissioner would be an unenviable one, although it might be & profitable one fl dollars and cents were alone to be considered.

Bottles such as beer comes in, would if shipped in empty to Arizona, cost, at low estimate, 6 cents each. They are, however, sold after the beer is out of them, for ten cents per dozen to those who ship them to California by the carload. If some ingenious Yan- kee would bottle up Huaehuca water after mixing little salt with it and giving it flavor of sulphur he could get lower rate of freight on the bot ties and by proper advertising could sell the contents for medicinal pur- poses,
