RHURARR-

Only two or three years have elapsed, since
the Pie Plant was quite of ordinary size and some
eight or ten stems were regarded as only calcu-
lated for one pie. But the Improvements in this
valuable plant within the past two years, is really
astonishing. We have looked with wonder upon
several varieties which have lately been introduc
ed into our Nurseries from abroad. During the
present season. Messrs. Prince s. Co. have exhib
tied before the horticultural Society, specimen,
the leaf of which was nearly as arge,as an ordinary
umbrella, and the stem long enough for a walking
stick. This variety is called the Leviathan, and
Justly answers to the given it, for its leaves
are enormous, and generally weigh from two and
aquarter to two and a half pounds. Myatt's Vic
toria is an esteemed variety, has monsrous leaves,
and under proper cultivation will average two
pounds. On the whole. from what we know of
this plant, we recommend that the old kinds be
rejected, and that cutivators confine themselves
to the raising of the most profitable. We espe-
cally recommend the Leviathan, Myatt's Vic,o
ria; DalIeys New Scarlet Giant monstrous
leaves; Dalley's Admiral, do, do; and the Ear
ly Tobolsk, fine variety and very early There
may be other varieties equally valuable, but hav-
Ingiseen the above in their glory at Princes, we
we noted them down with a view of advising the
lovers of this valuable plant that one root of any
of the above kinds is worth more than half dozen
of those ordinarily grown Long Island paper.

A FRENCHMAN's CURIOsITy

Nothing IS more characteristic of your true
Frenchman than this irrepressable curiosity
which he will often crafty at the expense OF
danger, and sometimes at the risk of his life. In
matters of science, by the way, this peculiarity
OF the grand nation has been of great service to
mankind. A friend relates story pleasantly il

distended with large portion of his substantial

his unwilling Witness and this time fairly

Fanny McAuley recently recovered five hundred
dollars damages against one Roderic c. Phippin,
OF Grown Point, as some compensation for a
breach of promise on his part to commit matrimo-

stances of the case correctly stated the varet
ought to have paid more, if he had it to pay, or
to have been sold to hard labor till he had earned
enough. 10 the first place he had courted her for
three tedious years, and left her at last in the
situation in which fair lady writer says lady
=" loves to be who loves her Lord :" and secondly.
Mr. Phippin borrowed dollar of the expecting
brides own brother to pay the wedding fee, and
went off the same night and married another
womdn, paying the clergyman's perqusite, for

corded, and the fellow who was guilty of it.
