THE SUPPLY OF ICE.
TO the Editor Of the ''St. CrOix Avis"

Sir,
Never was contract more imprudentlY disre-
garded and broken, than the one entered into
by Messrs. Richardson & Raven for supplying
Ice to this Island. Only the other day this
INSCRIPTIONS firm were fned-though only $50
for not having Ice here for more than a week,
yet they go on exactly in the same manner.
The fact is they should be find $50 for every
day we are without Ice, so that their fines
should come to very much more than their
saving of freight by not sending Ice by other
vessels than the slOop Dauntless. The govern
ment have hitherto been much too lenient
towards these willful contract breakers, and the
result is the usual one, they laugh at the gov
ernment. This state of things should surely
now cease. Let the firm be compelled by
reiterated heavy fines to fulfil their part of the
contract to the letter, or take the monopoly
away from them and let them forfeit their
caution-m0ney for the honest fulflment of the
contract. 1t was, besides, only on condition
of their doing so that the consumers of Ice
here consented to allow them 2 Gents, instead
of II Gents pr. h.; this ought now to cease
after our been treated so shamefully by the
monopolist. But, by all means, let the govern
ment make this INSCRIPTIONS firm feel the
consequences of their short comings, and let it
be advertised in the papers each time they are
punished. And after taking some thousand
Dollars out of them in fines, take away their
monopoly and their deposit-money. That will
cure them.

Sister Collins, in early life, became convert to

Der until the Master called her from labor to re-
ward. For many months previous to her death,
the fatal effects Of pulmonary disease cast gloom
over all her earthly joys and prospects. At times
her sufferings became intense yet she was able to
say, with an air of Christian triumph, "our light
affection, which is but for moment worketb for
US far more exceeding and eternal weight of
glory"
In the last hours of life, she repeatedly express

for the spirit was anxious to depart and be with
Christ, and,
"While faith endued from Heafen with power,
Sustained and cheered her languid breast"
She shouted, Glory, Glory until she fell asleep
