influence yesterday on.th3 prices of Integrales, but this
impression did not last long, as little was doing at Berlin

opening of the Bourse ; and although there were some
sales for German Havre, the prices were steady, but at the
close they were rather weaker. Ardoin's Spanish. 24;

How TO EAT STRAWBERRIES—MaIIy`SerVe
up strawberries with cream and sugar, but give us the Italian
dressing for a strawberry before all others. It makes a splendid
dish for a dessert, and is sure to please nine nut of every ten
persons at table. The operation is simple. Take off the stalks
from as many berries as will form one layer at the bottom of a
dish ; sift some fine leaf sugar over them ; then place another
layer, and sift again ; each layer will be, found smaller than the
preceding. When there are five or six layers, cut a fresh lemon
and squeeze the juice all over them. Before they are helped,
let them be gently disturbed, that they nny have the benefit of
the lemon juice and sugar. They may be eaten of heartily with-
out danger, which is mole than can be said of strawberries and
cream ; and, generally speaking, those who have eaten them
with the Italian dressing will never eat them any other way if
they can help it.
DEATH IN WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON.
—On Tuesday an inquest was held in the Whitecross-street
Prison, on the body of S. Jones, aged 60. From the evidence
adduced it appeared that deceased was formerly a medical in-
strument-maker in Holborn, and was incarcerated on the 14th
of April last, for a debt of 291.105. Mr. Wadd, the surgeon,
stated that when the deceased was brought in he was labouring
under a severe attack of palsy in the left side. He was taken
into the infirmary, and every assistance was rendered to him.
A few days ago he was seized with typhus fever, of which he
died nn Friday last. Mr. Owen, a solicitor residing in Chan-
cery-lane, deposed that he had known deceased twelve years.
He was formerly in good circumstances. He was ill before
brought to the prison, but he had no doubt the imprisonment
hastened his death. Mr. Barrett, the Governor, said that
deceased had told him that his wife, Mrs. Jones, was in St.
Luke', madhouse, which preyed heavily on his mind. Verdict
—" Natural death."

An honest farmer was asked why he did not
subscribe for a newspaper? " Beeatve," said he, "my father,
when he died, left me a good many papers, and I haven't read
them through yet."
AN AMERICAN SHOT.--I had'a curious winter
shot at nineteen rooks as k wanted for a breakfast pie. These
here rooks were perched on apiece of zigzag of Farmer Muggs',
close to the location house as they built when they were scoping
out the pike for gravel. Nineteen rooks in a line, with their
feet all spread flat over the top of the stakes. So I slides ever
the grounds, for it was all over slithery, snew powerful, and
gets down into the follow. I calcylated I should be able to
hit the whole nineteen with one bullet, so I aims at the stake
and split it, so that it opened over the whole length on the top,
and in fell the feet of the nineteen rooks right into the split,
which closed again immediate on their feet; and I wish I may
be amazing disbelieved if I didn't ring the necks of the whole
nineteen, for they waited patiently while I come at 'em one by
one.— Uncle Sam's Peculiarities, in Bentley's Miscellany,
June.
