|aw, HOW TO *-"1' p,. occurs in the places, or who This is an ' n l"' r Jg W on unimproved spots, minds of ro *°]J u 'ch residents that much may have bu^' lWar j s an i mme diate supply with selection and management, and that the assertion which they often hear, that "it will take a lifetime to get fruit from a new plantation," is an absurd error. The quickest return is from planting straw berries. If set out early in spring, they will bear a moderate crop the same season. M e have repeatedly obtained fine ripe berries sev en weeks from the day they were set out. The second year, if the bed is kept clean, the product will be abundant. Wilson's Albany will safely yield, any year, a bushel from a square rod, or about two quarts a day for half a month. Musk melons and water melons will yield their delicious products four months after planting. Gooseberries, currants, raspberries and blackberries all bear at about the same period front the time of setting out. Good silted goosebery plants, say a foot and a half high, will give a good crop of berries for their size, the second year. We have had a bushel of cherry currants, the third summer after set ting out quite small plants, from a row thirty feet long. A bush of Brinckle's Orange raspberry has been known repeatedly to bear about a hundred berries the same year that it was transplanted —the fruit, however, was not full size. Dwarf pears of the right sorts, and under right management, come quickly into bearing. I'hc most prolific sorts give some returns the second year, and more afterwards. Among the dwarf pears which bear soon, are Louise Bonne de Jersey, Doyenne d'Ete, White Doyenue, Gift'ard, Fontenay, Jalousie, Jose phine de Malines, etc. The following sorts bear nearly as early on pear stock, viz: Bart lett, Seckel, Winter Nelis, Washington, On ondaga, Howell, Passe Colmar, Julienne. Grapes afford fruit soon —usually beginning to bear the second and third year. The Isa bella, York Madeira, Diana and Delawareare particularly recommended for this purpose at the North, and the Catawba may be added to the middle states, wherever it does not rot. Dwarf apples should not be entirely over looked in the list of early bearers. Half a peck per tree is often obtained the third year from the most productive sorts. A good supply of all the preceding will be sufficient to furnish a family wilh these whole some luxuries from within a year or two of occupying entirely new premises, and will not only add greatly to the comforts and attrac tions of home, but contribute materially to the uniform health of the occupants. —[ Thomas's American Fruit CuUurist. PLANTING STRAWBERRIES. Strawberries can be set out now at any time up to the middle of September—the ear lier the better. We see articles a column long of directions for cultivating this fruit, tending only to con fuse. not instruct, the uninitiated. The cul tivation of strawberries is about as simple and easy as any other small fruit or garden crop. The soil should be well and deeply pulver ised, made moderately rich, aud if it is de sired to have a close bed, set the plants, of this year's growth, from twelve to eighteen inches apart each way. in November cover with old stable manure, to remain until ihe first of April, when the coarse portions can be removed. Rampant growers like the "Triumph" aud the Albauy, will perhaps do better in hills or rows, allowing them to be two feet between the rows, and eighteen inches between the hills. We raised this year, however, a splen did crop of Russell's Prolific, which is a strong grower, in a bed. One advantage in growing in beds is that there is a constant supply of new plants, giv ing fresh vigor and larger fruit than the old plants in the hills. Another advantage we have found is, that a bed will continue to be productive for about twice the length of time as the hills. As to the best varieties to cultivate, there is a great diversity of opinion. For market purposes there is none, perhaps, equal to the Albany. For private supply we should pre fer the Triumph, Hovey, and Knssell. Ho vey is a pistillate variety, and should be plac ed in alternate beds with either of the other varieties named. Every family, however small the garden, should have a bed of strawberries. A well managed plot of ten by twenty feet ought to yield from thirty to fifty quarts of berries, which would be sufficient for any moderate sized family. We have raised in a plot 14 by 19, seventy-eight quarts of Hovey's Seedling, one of our oldest and yet one of our best and most productive kinds. Germantotcn Tele graph. THE POTATO BUG. I am satisfied that in a region of couutry which has beeu fully occupied and possessed by this little pest, it will not pay to attempt to grow potatoes in towns and thickly settled sections, where one is surrounded by neigh bors who plant potatoes, aud think it too small business to make war upon such an insiguifi cant creature as a hug, In that case, no mat ter how much pains the farmer may take to clear his own vines, fresh armies will be per petually invading him from the fields of his less diligent neighbors, and finally be will have to give up iu despair, and own .himself beaten. The best chance is where a farm is located several miles from any potato grow- ing neighbor. The Law lays it down as a general rule, that a man must so use his own property so as not damage his neighbor. But the Law does not always practice what it preaches. If it did, it wonld prohibit every man from keeping cattle which are notoriously breachy. If it did, it would inflict capital punishment upon all the sheep killing dogs in the country. If it did, it would make it a penal offence to allow a single Canada thistle to run to seed. If it did, it would not permit a slovenly or chardist to grow, every year, millions of the moth which produces the "Caterpillar" of the apple tree, so as to stock the whole country with hundreds of millions of "caterpillars" next season. If it did, it would compel every fruit grower to gather up and destroy all his wormy fruit, so that his neighbors might not be plagued next year with the Cur culios which he has raised. —If it did, it would prohibit every man from growing potatoes in the infested district, unless he destroyed all itiat he raised, so that, they the Potaite trouble his neighbor. But we shiv 'cotiaole ourselves with the reflection that this is a free country, and that every free-born American citizen claims the privi lege of making himself a public nuisance, as often as he chooses, and to as great on extent as he chooses. — practical Knlumologiot.

A I.ABT asked a noted doctor if he did not think the small bonnets which the ladies wore hud a tendency to produce congestion of the brain. "Oh no," he replied, "ladies who have brains don't wear them." "WHAT brought you to prison, my colored friend?" "Two constables, sah." "Yes, but 1 mean, had intemperance anything to do with it?" Yes, sah, dey was bofe of 'em drunk." SOMEBODY who writes more truthfully thau poetically, says: "An angel without money ia not thought so mneh of now-a-days as a devil with a bale of greenbacks.'' WHY is a man ascending Vesuvius like au Irishman trying to kiss a pretty girl ? Because he wants to get at the crater's mouth. THE stump orator who declared that he knew no north, no south, no east, no west, was told by one of his audience to go to school and learn geography. THK first financial invention mentioned in history was Pharao's check on the bank of the Red Sea. That cheek, |however. was li quidated. WHEN ladies vote, candidates will always be elected by "handsome," aud sometimes by "sweeping" majorities. IT takes three editors to start a paper in New Orleans—one to get killed in a duel— one to die with the yellow fever, and one to write an obituary of the defunct two. A OENTI.KM.4X once asked, "What is wo man ?" when a happy married man replied "She is an essay on grace, in one volume elegantly bound. Although it may be dear. every man should have a copy of it." To plunge a young lady six fathoms deep in happiness, give her two canary birds, a half dozen moonbeams, fifteen yards of silk, an ice cream, several rose buds, a squeez of the hand ; and a promise of a new bonnet. If she won't melt, it will be because she can't. "MY friend.'' said the Itev. Sidney Smith to a cobbler who was mending his shoe, when the wit was a poor curate in Gloucester shire, "you remind me of the sacred ordi nance of matrimony." "How so?" quoth the cobbler. "Because you hind two souls together ill unity." "You say, Mrs. Smith, that you have lived with the defendant for eight years. Does the court understand you that you were married to him?" "In course it does." Have you a marriage certificate ?'' "Yes, your honor, three of 'em—two gals and a boy." A pretty girl forcibly aud truthfully says : "If our Maker thought it wrong for Adam to be single, when there was not a woman upon earth, how criminally guilty are the old bach elors with the world full of pretty girls." BREATHES there a man with soul so dead— who never to himself hath said—l will my local paper take —both for my own and fam ily's sake ?—lf such there be, let him repent— and have the paper to him sent —and if he'd pass a happy winter—he in advance should pay the printer. " A certain young man in this region, says a new correspondent, " looking the other morning at a picture of Cupid on a valentine handbill, asked, "Who is that a portrait of?" 'Of Cupid, was the reply. "Humph!" was the rejoinder ; " 'it must have been taken when he was very young!'" AT a public sale of books, "Drew's Essay on Souls" was knocked down to a shoemaker, who to the great amusement of a crowded room, asked the anctioneer if he had any more books on shoemaking to sell. A Quaker gentleman, riding in a carriage with a fashionable lady decked with a profu. sion of jewelry, beard her complain of the cold. Shivering i:i her lace bonnet and shawl as light as cobweb, she exclaimed : " What shall I do to get warm ?" "I really don't know," replied the Quaker solemnly," unless thou should put on an other breast-pin."' A YOUNG member of the Bar thought he would adopt a motto for himself, and after ranch reflection, wrote in large letters and posted np against the wall the following : "Suum Cinque," which may be translated, "Let every one have his own." A country client coming in, expressed him self much gratified with the maxim, but ad ded : "You don't spell it right." "Indeed ! then how ought it to be spelt?" The visitor replied: "Sue'em quick." AN ORDINARY LICENSE. —A neat little girl, apparently about nineteen, says the Frederick Herald, a few days ago entered the Clerk's office, and removing her bonnet, inquired if Dr. Bradley was in.

" Why, madam," said the doctor, with mod est confusiou ; " there has been gome talk on that subject." . * "Then you are the very gentleman I want. Have you any licenses to dispose of?"
