JtjrThe idea of having a stiff, dissocial
old Bachelor in the White Ilou-e, is not
agreeable to the people generally, aud tbe
rumor was some time ago circulated, that
" Hon. Jauies Buchanan is about to load
to the hymenial altar tbe accomplished wi
dow of the late President Polk." Doubt
less the rumor originated with that "near
neighbor" who "knew that James K. Polk
was a better friend of tbe Tariff of 1842
than Henry Clay 1" Tbe story answered
until after election !
lwTbe Scioto Gazette was the first
paper to pronounce for Gen.Taylor, and is
now strong for Fremont. It refutes the
story of Thomas Ewing's declaring for
Buchacan, and sajs that Scott Harrison's
statement that Fillmore stood tome chance
of carrying Ohio shows him fit only for a
lunatio asylum. Ohio will give 50,000
to 100.000 majority for Jrenoae.

The Mica Journal, for nearly thirty
years the democratic organ of T oiipkins

published in that important County, has
taken down the flag of Buchanan and

other influential democratic papers in New

Strawberries.
As the Season for planting strawberries
is at baud, se bad thought of preparing
an article oo the sul j -ct tor our own neigh
berimed, but the two extracts given below
appear to embrace most of what is neces
sary to be said, anywhere. The first is a
portion of an article from the Cultloitnr
by V . Ii. Da'eliaiti.an extensive nursery
man at Columbus, U.,and the other is as
cribed by the Grrmiiutincn Tc'jri,h to
the Misttthitvtt J'iutcmnn. It is surpri
sing that Strawberries aro not more culti
vated aiiwiij us. Nowhere will they do
better. They are more certain to ucceed
with modura'e care, than onions or cab
bages, and a single square rod will yield,
the second or third season from planting,
bushel, at a low estimate, of delicious,
healthy, smitive fruit, at a season when
nothing except the earliest cherries can be
had of the fruit kind. Let the ground be
iui ('e'j-ae ou d preftr, tier,'o trench
if regularly two spils deep, throwing the
subsoil ou top, and then, when setting out
the plants, dig a suflicieut hole f r each,
through this poorer stratum and fill it with
rich but not freshly manured earth. In
this set them at least two feet apart each
way, aud then let them spread into clumps
but not send their runners abroad. The
surface in this way ail be less inclined
to grow wcedi, while it will gradually be

and heat, aud the depth of better soil be
low will secure the plants agaicst both
hunger and thirst. When it is an object
to get fruit the uext year, aud espi-c.a l
if a small patch only is to be managed, we
think it is decidedly better to put them
out as soon as the runners have partly ta

a rod or two is not much. They then have

The present season ns been on the whole
a favorable one for s rawl erri-s, altbo igh
the crop was somewhat shortened by (lie
drought; aud having tested twenty or more
varieties at the Columbus Nursery,we give
the following as the result of our observa-
tions. The soil is a good strong loam, in
clining to clay, not as deeply worked as it
should be, and tbe p'ants Wire allowed to
stand too thickly for the best production
of fruit ; but as all the varieties were trea
ted alike, the opportunily for cot paring
them was good. (Those with the letter

Uivey't S edliifj. This popular variety j
has not done well on our soil as yet ow
iug to the lack of deep culture, or s ine
other cause and we should have set it
down as au unprofitable variety for this cli
mate, if some uf our neighi-ors ha I n t
succeeded finely with it. At Cincinnati
also it has born tbe palm for the past two
or three vcars. cveu iu competition with
Longworib's aud M'Avoy's finescedlm-. !
We are couviuced that this variety will
oot bear bard fare as we'l as many others, '
but with proper soil and culture the fiuit
is remarkably large and handsome, Situr
iug for it the prizes at most exhibitions,
aud the largest price in market. In flavor
it is not equal to tbe next following aud
some other varieties.
Barr't Xew Pine. This Tariety origi
nated in Columbus, about ten years ago,
aud has been very widely disseminated.
It is everywhere comiueuded as a bardy
aud vigorous grow, r, highly productive,
aud the fruit of tbe finest flavor, tbougb
inferior in size and color to Uovey's Seed
ling. It is alto quite early, and continues
lunger in bearing than many others. For
private gardens, this is one of tbe very best
kinds, but its pale oulor and juiciness ren
der it less adapted for market than some
others.

this variety will longretaiu :' e popular!:
it has acquired, though fiuber i..ldwuct
may improve our opinion ut it. The plant
is a strong gruwcr,aul with prop.-rcuiiu.-r
j the fruit is very large, abundant, aud nf
line flavor; but it ii unsuited for a miricc:
fruit, owing to its. dull color anil tendei
fle-h, and so many of ibe berries are usu
ally defective ia form, that their appear
ance in a basket or dish is less attractive
h.io many other kinds of inferior size.
We notice too that these ol j -ctious against
this fruit are beginning to he openly ex
pressed among tbe horticulturists of Cin
cinnati, in spite of the presence of the Cxar,
(Nicholas,) and iu a Very severe eonfi-si
for pr'zes, at the late 1-xhibitiou of the
Horticultural Society, this tardy came oE

Lrnjic-riU'$ Prrjl.ftc, s. This variety
has done very well with us, though wear
not prepared to endorse the statement cf
Mr. L., that this "will be found of m-r
value thau all the oiLei see.liiu03 ever rais
ed." As a uiaifeet fruit, it is certainly
superior to tbe M'.Vvoy. The plant is a
vigorous grower, highly productive, fruit
stems very large aud long, berries large,
round, aud of goa l e dor and H vor, bu'
rather tender fir Carriage, and nuuy if
them defective in shape. If this variety
proves good as an impreguator, uf whicl
Wu have some doubt, ii will add much to
iia value.

"uniformly surpassed all others. We have
counted over seveuty ripe berries of good

girleuurs can trausplaut strawberries at
any season of the year, wheu the ground
u not tror -n, but it dine during the suav
nier months, in this climate, much care
aud labor is requisite in watering and
shadiug or mulching the plauts; so tnat
few persons of any experience in the busi
ness will chose to na derate it at this sea
son. In tbe month of September, or ss
soon as tbe heal and drougl-t of summer
are over, aud tbe ground is well molsteuej
with rain, is the bust time for the plant
ing; and this will allow the plants to be
come well rooted, to that by covering
them slightly for the winter, they will
bear a moderate crop of fiuit next S;rioo.
If theplautiog be not dons in September or
October, it had better be deferred till
spring. Spring planting is the easiest and
safest of all, but of course it iuvulres a
year's delay before any fruit of conse
quence can be realized.
