TO the Editor of the 'St. CrOix Avis"
THE bell of the English Episcopal Church
would confer a real favor on many quiet
loving inhabitants of Christiansted, if it
would keep its noisy tongue after dark of
an evening, and would in the daytime ring
no longer than the other ChurchbeIls in
this town, instead of as now doing noise
for nearly half an hour at a time.

Gentlemen - Having taken lively interest in

by old resident Of this city, who died Aug. I'd,
1869, and who was insured in the New England
Mutual Life Insurance Company, We take pleasure
in making the following statement for tho informa-
tion Of the public
A.E. c. Miller was insured by ordinary Life
Policy No. 13,o54, bearing date January 81, 1868.
lie paid annual payments to January 81, 1868,
inclusive. Since then nothing has been paid. lie
died Aug. 2. 1869. over eighteen months after last
payment Of premium, yet your company, working
under tho equitable Lapse Laws Of Massachusetts,
pays tho widow and orphans tho whole policy, de-
Quoting only tho premium due; while in all other
companies doing business here. about which wc
know anything. the policy would long since have
been forfeited.
BY the New England Mutual, the widow has
been paid 1850 so. This consider munif-
cent, more especially when take into considera-
tion that tho family would not have received a
cent from any other company doing business on
this coast. This in our estima alton Is enough to
recommend this company above all others. This
is Equity. this is Mutuality. We, therefore, CON-
mend this company to the public, as the only CON-
pany that has no forfeitures.
We herewith inclose you tho acknowledgement
Of the widow. Respectfully yours. etc..
