ness and testimony to prove that l
am either ignorantly, or wickedly,
trying to mislead the people, since by
his witness we have more money in
circulation chan ever before. Mr.
Eaton, on each occasion, says that
Secretary Foster, in speech at Yer
million, Ohio, ON the 9th inst, pre-
sented tables showing that the amount
was, as determined by the amount III
the treasury, $50 per capita in cirvu-
lation.
And almost in the same sentence
Mr.. Eaton quotes Secretary Foster as
showing in said tabular statements,
that $24 Al per head-see first apistle
of A. w. Eaton.
l. seems evident to me that Mr.
Eaton either thinks that my state
ments are liable to do some damage
to bis prospects for some Office, or
that the statements made 10y the cabi.
net officer and himself will not be be.
lieved unless he has them repeated
every week. The courts will not allow

repeat what be had stated before, and

Mr.. Eaton uses the word circuIat,

The health Of the Island would have been
remarkably good, had it not been for the
outbreak Of an epidemic Of influenza of a vir-
ulent type. It appeared to be infectious, and
was probably introduced here by two passen-
gers who arrived from London by tho R. NJ.
Steamer about Christmas time. One of them
was barely conyalescent from the Grippe,
and tie other was in the first stage of tho
disease. Nearly all the persons who cam,
near these patients were attacked soon Alter
by the same malady and in the Ioourse Of
a few more weeks the town was full of it,
and it was spreajjng rapidly all over the
Island.
The following table gives the number Of
deaths from it in the several parishes during
the quarter. 1t must be remembered. how
ever, that tho figures do not represent the
total number Of fatal cases, because the list
does not include the mortality from the
sequel@ of influenza. nor, Of course, does it
contain the deaths from the disease that occur

BARBADOS NEWS,
r. ON The Barbados Gio5e, June 1871

-
The Fortnight since the leaving Of last
mail has been wet. We have had RAIN. more
or less, every day. The record for Mtyis
oneof an unprecedented character for many
previous years. The st. Phillip corresp)u
dent of the Planters Journal says:-rhe
Rainfall at this station for the past month
was $50, the total for i've months being l4.77;
last year the figures were at the correspond
ing date l.29 and lila very note worthy
difference. In the southern district the diff
terance between tho totals for the two years
IS even more striking, 7.20 and l9.73 being
this years record, oontrasted with l.l9 and
and ESQ tor 1891. The rainfall for May is
the greatest during the y years | have
been keeping a register, it only having been
approached four times during that period. In
1863 4.57 was recorded, in 1873 4.43, in 1879
6.22, and 1887 5. 65 the last three years were
whnt we call good years, whilst 1869 was de
cidedIy dry
If such was the case in May the comparison
for June viii be greater, for the past fort
night has left heavy record Of rain. The
first week of the month there were 5 inches
IL some districts, and from Saturday to this
day there has been rain. though the showers
have been very unfayourable for those who
had sugar still to make they have been well
come to those who nave closed their crop and
they have been useful In destroying the Borer
hundreds having perished, as we hear, by the
rains that have come down upon them.
On Sunday and especially on Sunday night
the wind blew boisterously from the South
and South east, reminding US that the stormy
season was not far of. In Town and the
suburbs trees were stripped literally, and
there was a good deal Of damage done to mills
and labourers houses up anddown the country.
ut is reported among others that Wsstmore-
land and Spring plan ations in st. James
got their mills injured. Three wooden hou-
SEES on lands Of Btowers in the same parish
were damaged, and two small houses were
thrown off their foundation. StGrges, IN tbs

The death-Tate from this epidemic has been
smaller than one would have anticipated. not
amounting, probably, to more than one per

that it made it's first appearance in Nevis. The
health Of that Island during the quarter was
