Government would willingly dispose of these premises
for such a purpose. The delightful and extended
views to be obtained from this building, and the beat
tiful garden and grounds attached, continue to make
It one of the most de:irabl lie spots for the purpose now
under consideration.
Should the country be preferred, however, there is
no scarcity of suitable localities. There are Rich
mond, Bulowsminde and Aldershvile, all delightful spots
and almost equally convenient to town. And then, it
is nv no means improbable that our West Erd neigh
bors have their lid to make if so let us hear from
them. For certainly the location is of far less import
ance than the actual existence of this much needed
establishment.
But say the question of locality is disposed Of, there
is another, and perhaps a still more important one yet
to be settled-that of the mode of raising the funds
necessary for carrying the enterprise into effect.
Should the suggestion of your humble correspondent
be of any weight, he would say by all meal ms organize
a stock Company, and raise the amount by shares.
Let a few of our prominent business men take the
initiative step in the matter and it will be discovered
that there is yet money in st. CroiX to invest in an
enterprise so certain to yield the handsome dividend
that this will do.

An average amount of IA AZ inch of rain d yea
is evidently sufficient for carrying on agriculture
of every kind with success in this island, if the
gifts of Nature are economical in a sensible way,
and as there is no reason to apprehend that a con-
slant decrease Of the fall of rain is taking place,
we may confidently look forward to a prosperous
future for this beautiful country, if proper efforts
are made to put all the natural advantages of the
island to the best possible use.
Frederiksfort April II 1874.
EGGERS.
, 1874-04-18

Comparing the annual average fall of rain in St.
Croix with the annual average of st. Thomas, which
according to the observations of DIR. Hornbeck dur
ing the period from 1828-1939 was Is inches and
according to observations in the Fort from 1863
1872 as stated by Col. Thuistrup was Al 1865 in
ches, giving a mean value of A 80 inch, it will
be seen that the average amount on the whole is
nearly the same in both places, although single
years often differ materially as for instance 1870,
when St. Croix had 5O.95 inch. of rain, st. Thomas
only 32.94inch.
, 1874-04-18

bered that the observations of the late Major,
however exact they must be considered to have
been made, as everything this gentleman UNDER
took, comprise only one station, situated near the
least favoured part of the island and which being
elevated 440 above the level of the sea necessa-
rily must have less rain than the lower land, for
which reasons they cannot oe considered as
giving the amount of rain for the whole island.
There can be little doubt that if exact obser-
yations for the period mentioned could be pro-
cured from other parts of the country, especially
from the centre part, the figure would have to be
raised not inconsiderably, although the period
from I840-50 on the whole was one of Uncommon
dryness.
We might Justly ask what would have been the
result, if there had been a period of ten consecutive
wears, in which the annual average of rain over
the whole island did not exceed 1876 inches.
The annual average amount of 44.47 inches for
the period from 1852-l873 as resulting from my
calculations comprises the whole island, having
been compiled from the daily observations made
at the three military stations at Christiansvgrns-
fort, Kingshill and Frederiksfort, which three
places often show great difference with regard to
the amount of rain for the same period.
Yet an exact idea of the general distribution of
rain over the island can only be arrived at by
cooperation and contribution from a great many
more stations, and l would therefore suggest,
that every Estate in the island, where the fall of
rain is measured in a proper way, send in month
ly statement of the amount of rain to the Office of
the Avis, the Editor of which doubtlessly will be
glad to publish them.
For want of proper material l therefore have
not attempted to give a synopsis of the distribu-
ii n of rain on the different localities of the island,
which indeed would be of high interest, especially
as regards the Northside and the southern coast,
and the following tables merely show the average
amount as observed at the extremities and the
centre of the cultivated part of the country.
The measurement, which is made originally in
lines at 8 to an English inch have for the greater
convenience reduced to the decimal system, and
from the subioined tables everybody will be able
to form an exact idea of the distribution Of the fall
of rain during the stated period.

The reports from the Atlantic demonstrate an
early and extraordinary descent of ice fields and
icebergs from the Arctic Ocean. On the first
of the month large fields of ice wore reported
from St Johns, sailing off towards the Grand
Banks of Newfoundland. The Cunard steam
Ship Calabria {" passed great quantities of ice on
