,ARGEGOOSEBERRIES.—Laticashire is the county

In which the gooseberry has been most cultivated: there is a gooseberry:
book annually printed at Manchester; and the Manchester newspaPert!,
recording the death of a person, and saying he bore a severe illness with
Christian fortitude and resignation, add that he was much esteemed
among the class of gooseberry growers. A harmless class they must
needsbe deemed; but, even in growing gooseberries, emulation may
by
carried too far, The Royal Sovereign, which, in 1794, was grown by
George Cook, of Ashton, near Preston, which weighed 17 pennylvetght.s
18 grains, was thought a royal gooseberry at that day, —llut the growth
of gooseberries keeps pace with the march of intellect. In 1830, the
largest yellow gooseberry on record
as shown at Stockport; it weighed
32 penny-weights 13 grains, and was named the Teazer. The largest red
one was the Roaring Lion, of 31 pennyweights 13 grains, shown at Nant •
with; and the largest white was the Ostriele shown at Ormskirk ;
far short of the others, and yet weighing 24 pennyweights 20 grains'
They have been, grown as large as pigeons' e, gs. But the fruit is not
Improved by the forced culture which increases its size. The gooseberry
growers who show for the prizes which are annually offered thin the fruit
so as to leave but two or three berries on a branch ; even then, prizes
are not gained by fair dealing ; they contrive to support a small cup
"der
each of these, SO that the fruit shall for some weeks rest in water that
Covers about a fourth part, and this they call "suckling the gooseberry

GIANT STRAWBERRY.—We have before US a
strawberry, grown in the garden of James Perston, Esq., of Crosspark,
which measures 5i inches by 41 inches.—Glasgow Argus.
Yesterday a young woman named Connolly was
charged at Lambeth.street with having deserted her mistress's child. It
appeared that she had asked a policeman to hold the child for a few
minutes, and had then run away, but had subsequently been taken. The
gill said the policeman had seduced and deserted her, and she had left
the child with him for a few minutes to frighten him, by making hint
believe ity4r4.lli4 Own. .lie was disaarged.
