See notice eclsewhere | as to closing of mails. § From time to time the Avis has found | it expedient to comment upon the misuse | of the public benches on the wharf and | surrounding grounds. It is now again | necessary to call attention to the severe | and improper treatment to which these | fixtures for accomodation “f the public | are subjected and which, if continued, | must gradually but svcely result in the | demolition of all seats near the water- ! front. It is recently noted that many | persons sit on the backs of the bench- | es, nsing the seats as foo:stools, | and in some imstances stretch off at full length on the seats, a stunt | which requires a bench to each indi.idual. | une of the benches abused in the former manner last Sunday evening, is nowa backless wreck. Most of the beiiches on | che wharf grounds were providec by po- puiar subscription and some protection is necessary or the money will have been wasted. REOPENING OF CHI:.DREN'S HOME, CHRISTIANSTED. As previously announced, the Chil- dren’s Home was reopenedon Yonday Bth inst., when quite a number availed them- selves of the copportuniiy of visiiing the Home, which assumes quite a bright as- pect, «s it has been thoroughly tepaired and painted w.thin and without.

The Revd. M. Wolter then invoked God’s blessine on the Home and directors of _same. The Revd. J. R. Mayhew then address- e tihe audience, mentioning first and {iremost the nccessity of proper Chris- ‘ian training of the young, which the Home stood for. The faithful efforts and untiring zea! with which the former Dea- conness labored, also his pleasure at the Home beir.2z reopened, which is worthy of the support of all, and congratulated Revd.and Mrs. Criteilow, Miss Cricthlow and Miss Schozn for achieving this objeet, wishing th2m God’s blessing and every success in their future efforts for tno advancement of same. The Revd. M. Wolrer then followed up with a few appropr.ate remarks, aiter which My ecountry ’tis of thee’” was sune, and the benediction pronounced by the Revd. G.
