strawberry statistics.

The city of Edinburgh IS great strawberry
city; but doubt whothor that any other city
raises many strawberries as Cincinnati and It's
suburbs. Perhaps, indeed, somo large cities of
Europe and Asia do raise more; but not, we
think, III the samo proportion.
Mr.. Cist in his Advertiser gives tho following
facts, which sufficiently curious.
sit has been repeatedly stated that 1000 quarts
per day arc sold during tho season Of straw bcr-
rios in our markets. AS | havo understood, this
is considered abroad incredible, examined the
strawberry stands at Lower Market street last
Saturday, and found ono hundred and sixteen
cases, averaging thirtv-fivo boxes Of ono quart
each to tho case, boing total of four thousand
and sixty quarts. The quantity offered at Canal
Market, and at various stands through tho city,
would easily increase the aggregate TO five thou
sand quarts. These arc sold at present from 5 to
6 cents por quart, according 10 quality, tho price
of the article averaging 8 cents throughout their
entire period of sale.
ga four horse wagon drove up on Friday las.
to Fifth street Market with two tons of Straw
borrics
"Most of this delicious fruit is cultivated in ad-
iaccnt Kentucky, where patches of five TO ten
frequent. Two of tho straw berry gar
dons arc eighteen and twenty acres, and ono OF
ing at least ono hundred and forty acres devoted
to tho culture of this article"
There are about twenty five days of full sale
of strawberries in this market. At 1000 quarts
per day this gives ono hundred thousand quarts OF
strawberries sold in this market in one season
Thoy average cents por quart. which make:
eight thousand dollars paid in little more thar

Thrilling Incident.

Wo have tho following from a source Of tho
highest responsibility, and allowed to publish
It as warning to such any subject, triflo
with the cloar dictates of conscience:
Thcro was lately living in tho county Of Am
horst, Va, not far from Lynchburg, a blacksmith
who was we'll off in the world, and a decent sort
of man Ill his way-cxcept that he would, now
and then, drink too much. Not long since, he
wont to temperance meeting held in his noigh-
borhood, being quite sober at the tmo and listened
to very stirring address-whcn tho appeal,
warmly seconded by tho advice and entrealy of
somo of his friends, so wrought upon him, that his
conscience was reused, and no felt that he must
either fly from this place Of trial, or the forco of
truth. He hostatcd for n moment which alterna-
tive to adopts but his evil genius prevailed. Sitting
his conviction, no tore himself from the spot; and
coming to grog shop, on his way home, he there
furnished himself with bottle Of whiskoy. But,
ashamed to carry it to his house, he resolved to
hido 1t in somo place whore he might resort to it.,
without boing seen. He won't, accordingly, into
tho stable, but could find no hoo or corner tho 70
safo enough for his purpose. AT las, he thought
OF pile of stones behind the building. which
seemed to offer sung hiding-placc for his troa-
sure, and was in the act of opening spot among q
them, for the bottle, when rattc-snake concca l.
ed in tho pile, struck its deadly fangs into his
hand, thus terminating his life in few hours,
as a warning to others, made full confession
OF the circumstances, and died deeply dcploring
his guilt and folly, in not yielding TO his convic-
tons at tho meeting. The kind adrnoniton Of
Heaven to all, is, "He that being often reprovod,
hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be DESTROYED,
and that without remedy!"-New York Journal!

Gov. Wright Burnt III Eili-y.

The Western papers give account of the
burning of the Governor in efigy. by some of his
own political friends in Alegany county, who
took that strong mode of manifosting their hostl-
ty to his Veto. We know not who. how
nv participated in this most cxcep,ionable mode
of expressing popular sentiment. Nor can we
see that those who voted for Governor Wright
have any just ground of rcproach complaint.
He not only we'll known to be opposed to
the unfinished canals. but nominated by a
Party that had repudiated all tho Public Works.
Undor such circumstances, what had they to ex-
pect but n Veto! We are glad 10 see that no

atmospheric Railway.

A correspondent of the Boston Advertiser gives
description of the Atmospheric Railway, Of
which much has been said and which he saw
in operation Kingston, the artificial ha rbor of
Dublin. the only road on which this invention
has vet been put IN operation, though 1t Is said
that it is be applied to other md moro OK
tended routes. The construc ton Of the road is
like that of the common Railroad. only so far
the track and passengers concerned. Mid
way between tho rails is lrnbedded. TO three quar-
tors of lis diameter, cast iron cylinder of ID
more inches caibrc; this is put together in ioints
and FIRMLY secured TO tho Shoppers on which

giving motion TO large air pump. which exhausts
tho air from the whole tube. Directly on the
upper surface OF the tube, and running It's whole
length. Is n slit about inch wide, covered on
tho outside by flap of sole leather four inches
vide, screwed on side TO tho tube and free
on tho other. A small ridge in the cast iron of
the tubo allows composition of tallow and bees
wax. to be melted over the crack by ho, iron.
thus closing it moro etfociually.
The piston is made, Of course, TO fit perfectly
tho inside of the tube. A. each end Of tho route
is a valve opening into the tube. The piston is
connected with the car above. by a strong rod,
which passes out at the slit in the upper surface
of the tube. OF course if the piston moves, the
car must move with It.
Suppose the car, then. at one extremity, to be
sta rted for the other. A signal, BY the magnetic
telegraph, notifies the steam engine a, the other
end, by which the air pump is SC, in motion and
the air within the tube Is pumped out, The air
at the other end attempts. of course, to rush in;
but the valve being closed, It's whole force, equiv.
acnt of course TO pressure of fifteen pounds to
the square inch. is exerted upon the piston, which
must necessarily be driven towards the farther
extremity of the tube; and the car at the same
time is borne along. To prevent the air rushing
in through the Slit which IS opened by the passage
through it of the connecting bar, the piston is
placed several feet in advance of that bar. SO

portion, but directly behind The piston small
