Strawberries.

On the authority of a successful cultivator we
say to those who have good varieties lpine apple
and Hovey, for instance, keep your old beds free
from weeds, and witho ut blowing or cutting up
and re setting, as is usually recommended. In
lieu Of that, buy one third of a pound, each, Of
salt petre, glau5er salts and sal soda, and l-2
ounce of muriate of ammonia, and dissolve in
ten gallons Of rain or river water. This is en-
ough for bed - feet by 10. Water with this
preparation once when the leaves begin to start,
once Just before the plants are in full bloom, and
once between these two periods. In the mean
time sprinkle often with pure water. With this
treatment it is said bed ten years old is better
than one three years old treated in the usual way.
We give this as we find it-ending as we began
be sure and keep the soeeds out It is what ice
never found time to do, but people of more leis-
ure and patience can do it.

The Boston & Burlington Mails.

There are now two trains daily between Bos-
ton and Burlington via The Central read. Can
not the Postmaster General give frro mniis day
from Boston to Burlington? The first and gen.
erci mails we suppose would take the morning
train frou. both ends Of the route; and the Sec
ond and special mails could be made up at Bos-
ton for the II o'clock train, for such towns as
the Postmaster General may indicate and for
Boston, from Burlington, by the evening train to
Montpelier, and from Montpelier by the a. m
train. This would give Woodstock, Montpelier,
Burlington, and such other places as might be
designated, t.ro daily mails 10 and from Boston.

Mr. Brownson, the reviewer, who has been lee

Quebec. l suspect his mission has not been en-
tirely without political object. He has both

He declared openly in favor of arbitrary govern
ment, and limited that it was merely bienseance,
which prevented him, citizen of Republic,
from exposing the vices OF a Republican Gov
eminent more fully.

RAILROADS.

Westcrn Vermont. Energetic, and it is said
successful, efforts have been made to build
railroad from Rutland via Bennington County
to Troy and Albany. According to some of the
newspapers, there are conflicting lines urged by
Albany and Troy. We do not see why both
cities should not unite on one line. By the way,
with the multiplicity and mixture of Vermont
and New York charters, we can hardly tell
what q really u Be ezEsssoa in Usssern VET
mont. Will not the Union Wing, Rutland, give
the public concise statement Of the companies
in existence and the lines in progress, or likely
to progress, in Western Vermont?

water gathered above it until powerful enough
TO break through the embankment. Two days
work enabled the trains to pass. During that
time there was of course some delay at this
point, bu, the main delay to the Central trains
was occasioned by injury to the roads below
It will be observed by the new arrangement sd-
vertised, that passengers to and from Boston and
Burlington, by the second train, can stop over
night either at Montpelier or Northield. Those
going North will gain half an hours sleep in
the morning by stopping at Montpelier: those
going South will gain the same BY stopping at
Northfeld. Gs

cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of nameing.

POSTSCRIPT.
Since the foregoing was in type, the annexed
gratifying statement has been received:
Mr.. Webster on the Fugitive Sape Question =
The Boston Courier states, and on what it calls
unquestionable authority, q that Mr.. Webster, at
the time of the delivery of the speech, had in
his desk fhree emendatory sections, prepared
under consultation with high Judicial auIhori-
ty, WAC has had more to do with these questions
than any Judge in the country, and one Of which
sections provides expressly for the right Of trial
by jury. These sections had already been sug-
gested to members of the Senate most interest
ed in the question, with an intimation that ii
was intended to propose them, when the bill
should regularly come up for considerations
The writer afirms that Mr.. Webster referred to
these amendments, and not to those Of MIR. Ma
son, as to what he would support
