M;=Z StrnawnEnnints.—The folloWini Essay On Strawberry culture was read before the Lan(W.4 l : l _VJEDVicultural Society at 1:41 Olijiby aftettioOni byff. Engle; Esq. ' Mr. President and Gentlemen:—Among the small fruits the Strawberry ranks second in impottance—the tleaperis yielded priority—but why it has not yet become a staple article of food in its season is to some degree unaccountable, especially since it can be so easily produced and so readily adapts itself to almost any soil and territory. 'ol2Bof - the leading, if not the principal cause, is that it is thought that some mysterious knowledge must be acquired in order to be successfully grown ; that it requires some special manipulating which only certain persons understand, and when produced, is simply a "dainty" with which to "tickle the paten)." Our object on this occasion is, to throw out a few hints in reference to its cultiva tion and value as food, because the people generally of this country, have vague and erroneous ideas in regard to the value of fruits for table use. Any soil that will yield a crop of corn, potatoes, or garden 'vegetables, will pro duce strawberries, and even good crops have been raised on soil that was consider ed too poor to produce almost anything else. They, however, require different treat ment upon different soils, and some varie ties also require different treatment from others. The first step is the preparation of the soil, which needs not necessarily be highly enriched, but thoroughly pulverized so as to be in fine, friable condition for planting, for which sring is the most fa vorable season. Planting may also be suc cessful in September, and even in August, if there be sufficient moisture In the soil, and the same not too hot while the plants are being established. If good, strong plants are put in at the latter season, they will generally produoe a moderate crop the fol lowing year; whereas spring plantings should, under no circumstances, be suffer ed to fruit any the first season, as it will be at the expense of the plant, as well as of the following year's crop. There are three general systems practised in treating strawberry beds and plantations, from which none other can vary much. They are the stool, the row and the running or bed. The distance of planting is goner ally with a view to the after treatment. Plantings vary but little from the follow ing distance upon the row : One to two feet, and rows from two to live feet apart. The running or bed system has proven most successful upon comparatively poor soils and with special varieties, such us Hovey's Seedling, Large Early Scarlet, Scotch Runner, ?Sze. To be grown on the latter system, they are generally planted at the greatest distances above mentioned, and are permitted to run or spread until the ground is nearly, or in some cases, en tirely covered. For the stool system, the plants aro set from twelve to fifteen inches on the row, and the rows from two to throe feet apart, . according to quality orsoil and vigor of variety. the after-treatment is altogether reversed from the foregoing. The runners are kept oft' from the main plants altogether, and clean culture applied, which results In their ?goofing and covering the ground on the row, leaving simply a path for piek log and ' working conveniently. For the latter aye tell?, Wilson's Albany, Dianne], and similar ?gloom; varieties, are best adapted. The row system Is u middle course be tween those just described.. In this case the plants should be set from olio to two feet on the row, and the rows about four list apart. The earliest and strongest run norm are so layered that they do not stand in closer proximity to catch other than eight or nine Inches unit until the bed im,frmo two arid a halloo three feet wide, all run ners appearing thereafter are kept off. 11..im our opinion that if the latter method be adopted and properly pursued It will ' give more general satisfaction thae r ..asisr other. The most simple-wity tn-tariry flout is to plant about, one footxfiitrt on the row, then selecting hest runners front each plant, 1Q ,N 57 them In the opposite all others front the main 4211114 - As. the young plants continue to grow larger, another front each of the latter in the Milne (111'0(41011 from the main ono, keep:nil runners oil' thereafter for theseason. Should any of the young plants at any time, Indicate more vigor than the main or origi nal ones, they should at nice be detached. By this method the beds can easily be dressed from either side with a narrow hoe, If neeessary, on account of weeds; neither will they be too wide fur picking the fruit front either side. Tits plan, we have no doubt, would give more general satisfaction upon all moils and with a greater number ol' varieties than any other. Mulching is an Important part of straw berry culture, both for winter protection and keepifig the fruit clean. In a winter with continuous snow upon the ground (such its the one yet scarcely past) mulch ing would be unnecessary for protection ; but experience has taught us that tile chances are too few to depend upon nature to do everything when we can so easily make success doubly sure. Everything considered, the strawberry can be grown with more certainty than any other fruit crop with which we are acquaint ed, and In such quantities as should induce every person who has a rod of ground, to plant at least a portion of it with this de sirable and delicious fruit. In order to make this matter more impressive it may not be amiss to call your attention to the following: Several years ago, a gentleman ` of responsibility, made a challenge (not yet accepted) in offering to stake one hundred dollars that he could grow more bushels of strawberries per acre than another can of potatoes ; the soil being equal, As there are so many valuable varieties at present, we deem it superfluous to re commend any one, two, or more that are in every respect superior to all others, especi ally as different varieties succeed best on different soils and in different sections of country. The Wilson's Albany, however, appears to have at present a more extensive reputation for hardiness and productive !team than any other. At the same time there are a number of varieties that are quite productive and fur superior to it In quality. It is therefore to be hoped that a variety will be forthcoming having more desirable qualities than any that are now before the public. Judging by an approximation to the cor mamma of the foregoing, the following questions will naturally arise with many. ft strawberries can be grown, in such quan tities and with such ease, what will become of the crop when everybody geta to growing them? flow and where could sugar and cream enough bo produced to-use them all? Would it pot cause much sickness, especi ally among children ? and would not cholera be the conmequence among adults? As though they could not bib oaten simple and alone, like other fruits—as if the Creator had erred In not adapting it to the human system without come artifielid preparation. We will admit, that not only Strawberries but other fruits—in themselves good anti wholesome loud when ripe and eaten in proper quantities and at proper times—lf mixed up with foreign ingredients to tickle a perverted appetite, and eaten in Improper quantities and at Improper times, would be mulllcient cause for cholera and many other ailments besides; but as We live in Junto of progress It is to be hoped that wo may also improve In our dietetic habits and errs toma—that we may yet learn that fruits are food, and so intended by the Creator; that they will, if properly used, make healthy blood, build up healthy tissue, bone and muscle, produce clearer brain, purer, more noble and exalted intellect, than a great many of the abominable articles con formed at present es food and drink. Therefore, as SOOll as a sufficient quantity of fruits are produced, and at such - prices as will Induce a preponderance thereof into our daily food, we may safely hope for a great reduction of intemperance, a better state of morals (and let the be suffered to add) a higher standard of intellect. In conclusion : An appeal to the ladies of Lancaster county, and to those of the city in particular, may not be out of place. As this society contemplates holding an exhi bition of fruits, flowers, and early vegetables at about the height of the strawberry season we appeal to you, to act well your part in the enterprise. Experience has taught us at Marietta (where we have held exhibitions surpassing any ever held at Lancaster) that In order to bo successful in such an enterprise, the services of the gentler sex can not be dis pensed with, not only in the floral depart ment—am they have also presented some of the finest fruits and vegetables—but in the former do they especially excel. They are greater admirers of flowers than men, and consequently take greater interest In their production and care. In arranging bou quets, who can do it so tastefully as they? How shall the articles be neatly and tidily arranged for exhibition unless they lend u helping hand ? In iltet, their presence in Itself will add greatly in making the exhi• bition respectable. The success, prosperity, and future nee fulness of ilia Society, will greatly depend upon Its first demonstration of this kind. For the sake of - the fruit growing and fruit, consuming interest of this County, let us " leave no atone unturned" that may aid in making it what it ought to be; a Model Society. As it requires tine and prepara tion to he successful in anything we under take it would be proper to appoint commit tees of ladies from among the most enter prising of this City and County, and also of gentlemen, at an early day, who will take part and also encourage others to prepare for the occasion, even if it be but a single article. We would, in titct prefer seeing many interests represented than large quantities by but few exhibitors. Hoping that these hints will not prove futile, the matter is respectfully submitted for your consideration.

On Tuesday there was another most re-. markable exhibition s iweonigiesur hir..Butler,'of 4413:Bad:Wit* . tts, asked and obtained unanimous consent to make a pet sonal explanation. The timebeing limited to fifteen minutes, be stated that he caused 'tote placed on the'derik of each member:a copy of Mr. Bingham's speech the other day, in the personal discussion with hini self, showing, in parallel columns, the speech as it appeared in the manuscript of the reporters and the speech as publish ed in the Globe. The speech, as written, contained bB9 words, and es printed it con tained 1,047 words; and there were in the reporter's manuscript 282 erasures and al terations. He had understood the rule to be that, in a personal debate, a member had no right to make any changes unless they were submitted to the member affect ed by them. That rule had been violated in this case. In the matter thus interpo- lated was this sentence: "What does the gentleman (meaning Mr. Butler) know of the evidence in the case, and what does he care for the evidence, when be thus assails the official conduct of those who constituted the court?" He would state the evidence on which he had the other day made the statement that Mrs. Surratt was improperly convicted. He held in his hand the printed report of the trial, and had examined it with great care long before, because this was no spo radic thought of his. It was the result of careful and.anxious investigation for an other and a different purpose, to see who were in the great conspiracy. The gentle man (Mr. Bingham) had said he was the advocate of the United States on that trial. That was a great mistake. He was the special judge advocate, whose -duty it was to protect the rights of the prisoner as well as of the United States, and to sum up the evidence and state the law. But there was nne piece of evidence within the gentleman's (Mr. Bingham's) knowledge which he had not produced on that most momentous trial. When Booth was captured by Lieuten ant-Colonel Conger there was, said Mr. Butler, taken from his pocket a diary like the one I now hold in my hand (holding up small morocco covered pocket-diary), in which he set clown day by day his plans, his thoughts, his motives and his excuses. That was put Into the possession of the gov ernment, hut it was not laid before the Military Commission, although the gentle man (Mr. Bingham) did lay before the court Booth's tobacco pipe, spur, knife, and other-articles found on his person. The diary was not produeed. That diary appeiirs now before our Judiciary Com• mitten, and let me say here that I did not obtain my information from that committee. With the eighteen pages-of entries made prior to the time of Mr. Lincoln's assassina tion absent. The edges show that these pages were all cut out. What I want to know Is—First. Was that diary whole when it came into the hands of the govern ment? Second. Whether it wasgood judg ment on the part of those who were prose cuting the assassins of Abraham Lincoln td put in a tobacco pipe, found in Booth's pocket, us evidence against the prisoners, while the diary In Booth's own handwriting, detailing all the particulars of his crime, wits withheld? I did not charge the able, brave and gallant soldiers who sat on that court with any wrong. They did not see the diary. They did not know of its existence. If they had they might have given a different account of the matter. Whospoliated that book? Who sup pressed that evidence? Who caused that Innocent woman to be hanged, while he had In his pockets the diary which wont( have shown at least what was the idea a id what were the thoughts of the main con,- splrator ? There is still remaining in that diary a memorable instance, wirlttet t tare. few hours before.D.9otrtrartath. I quote from memsa'y r I have endeavored to cross trnitomite five times, and failed; I opose to return to Washington and give myself up, and clear myself from this grout crime.",,llow clear himself by giving him self up, and disclosing his accomplices? Who were they? Wjio spoliated that book utter it got into possession Of the govern ment, If it was not spoliated before? Why was not Lieutenant-Colonel Conger allowed to go on and state what had been found on Booth's body? The questions were carefully put to him, so that he should not be misunderstood, about this book, lie Identities the knife, pall of pistols, bolster, tobacco pipe, cartridges, a bill of exchange, etc., but he was nowhere asked, "Worn these all the articles that wore found on Booth?" Übe had been asked that ques tion he would have answered that he took Booth's diary from his pocket, as he lay there gasping in death. I do not know what would have been the verdict of the Military Commission if that evidence had been produced. That evidence, found on Booth's person, should have been produced. I understand the theory to be, that the reason it was not produced was, lest Booth's glorification of himself should go into the case. I think that a lame excuse. If an assassin can glorify himself, 'Jet him do it; there Is no danger of It. Therefore, I again say, here was a most remarkable piece of evidence found on the body of the great conspirator, concealed. I will take that back. I mean it was not put forward ; not brought before the great pub lic mind. I believe that piece of evidence would have shown what in my judgment the whole case now shows, that Booth, up to a certain hour, meant a capture and ab duction of Mr. Lincoln, and that he changed his purpose and resorted to assassin Lion. Mrs. Surratt may or may not have known of the change of purpose. What I find fault with in the Judge Advocate, who did not sum up for the prisoner, is that there was no notice by him brought to the mind of the Court in his very able but very bitter argument against the prisoner, of this change of purpose. If Mrs. Surratt did not know of this change she would have had no knowledge of the intended assassi nation, and therefore could not have been convicted. • These are the reasons why I say I am glad the blood of that woman, whether she were innocent or guilty, Is not on my head. I meant by no means to say a word against the officers who composed that commission. They were military men, who relied for the law upon the Judge Advocate, who thought they had all the 'holm before them, but before whom all the facts were not put. Ido not mean to say that they judged wrong under the light which they had. The point which I made, and the point which should stand made before the country, is that ell the testimony was not before that tribunal. if all the testimony had been presented we should have been able to pursue the accomplices, and to find out who it was that changed Booth's purpose from capture to assassination ; who it was that was to profit by the assassi• nation, and that would not profit by the capture of Mr. Lincoln; who it was that should succeed to Mr. Lincoln In case the bullet made a vacancy. In some aspects of the ClOll3 that diary might nut have been legal tentimony, but its moral evidence would have carried conviction to the mind of everybody, because it wits the dying declaration of a man who, assassin though he wore, was telling the truth between him self and Clod. How was Booth, by coming hack to Washington, going to clear bineielf of the great crime committed. That ques tion still Ninnies. Wore the eighteen pages of Booties diary gone when it came into the possession of the learned Judge Advocate? If so, why did he riot inquire what became of them? whether Lieutenant-Colonel Con ger gave the book to somebody ; whether it went front his hands into other hands, and whose knife it was that cut out those leaves? I should not have pursued this matter fur ther except that the gentleman (Mr. Bing ham) charged me with having made the as sertion I Mil without an examination of the evidence. He has chosen to bring the Mat ter here—not I ; and I desire now that in some form thin matter shall be fully and thoroughly Investigated. Mr. Bingham asked and obtained leave to reply. He concluded as follows: No, sir. Ido not care about it. Having refused to let me Inspect the book on which he based his charges he may now imitate the example of the vision seen in the Apo calypse, and turn around and eat it. [Laughter.] The gentleman talks of a spoliated book. Who spoliated it? That is about as interesting a query as that to which I referred the other day—" Who killed Cock Robin?" Who knows that it was spolluted? If John Wilkes Booth tore pages of it, was that spoliation? The gen tleman's words are as impotent as they are unwarranted. "Let the galled Jade wince, my withers are unwrung.' I challenge him and dare him, here or anywhere, in thlotrilatnul, or In any tribunal, to assert that I spoliated any book. Such a charge am that, without one tittle of evidence, is only lit to come from a man who lives in a bottle and is fed with a spoon. [Laughter.) Hurled Alive An Italian In Mobile was put in his coffin while in a trance as he was supposed to be dead. Upon arriving at the graveyard the friends of the deceased found that the coffin had been partially broken open, apparent ly by force exercised within. They. at once hold a consultation, which resulted in the opening of the coffin, when the apparently dead man was found to present the most unmistakable signs of life. Although there was evidently life, there was no conscious ness. The whole strength of the almost buried man had been thoroughly exhaust ed by his efforts to make his condition known to his friends, and his consciousness deserted him simultaneously with the burst ing of the lid by his frantic exertions to save himself, for he was certainly . dead when the physician who was sent for arrived on the ground.
