LARGE lee CoNrRACr.-Mr. F. W. Sinnet
has made contract with Capt. I. J. Buford
to furnish the entire Northern Line boats
with Ice the coming season. We visited his
ice houses on Saturday, where some twenty
men were at work filling the houses.
The ice is raised from the river by horse
power and run into the houses on an inclined
plane, thus saving all the former labor of
loading and hauling. Mr.. Sinnet has now
packed some 1900 to 1900 tons of very super
Tor ice and will probably increase the guam
thy, SO that he can not only furnish all the
Northern Line boats, and all who favor him
with their custom in town, but also supply
such other boats as may want ice of him
His father also has house packed with
some 800 to 400 tons which he will use to
supply his patrons In Moline.
This city being located half way between
St. Louis and st, Paul, is just the place fer
boats TO get ice, coal, meat and other sup
pies. Boats can take ice enough here to
last them TO St. Paul and back, and then
take enough to 90 to. St. Louis and back
So of many other articles wanted on steam
boats. We are glad to see efforts being made
to secure this trade That of Mr.. Sinnet is
good beginning.
The ice being put up here is full 20 inches
thick, and as clear and pure as ever found In
sny country

ANEEDED WARNING.-TheJ ownalof Com
merce is warning the RADICALS against further
amendments to the Constitutions One of these
days, radical Democrats may be in power, and
then who can tell what they may not do also?
If it is now settled that the Constitution can
be amended so as to take all the powers of a
State by the mere force of two-third vote in
Congress and three-lourth vote OF the States,
the editor asks who can doubt that there will
be fanatics and madmen leading the people on
to amend the Constitution so as to crush New
England into one State instead of six, in spite
of all the prohibitions of the existing Consti-
