UsE OF Gas METERs.-A suit for rent of
gas meters, furnished by the Gas Company,
was recently decided in New York City,
against the Company. The Court held that
as the meters were for the use of measuring
the quantity of gas consumed, they were for
the benefit of the Gas Companies, like the
weights and measures of merchants, or the
meters ofWater Companies. The seller, and
not the buyer are bound to furnish the means
of ascertaining the quantity he delivers, and
lie is bound to verify the delivery Of the
quantity he charges for in his bill, before he
can demand the payment. The Judge said;
IL am entirely satisfied that the Companies
have no legal right to charge for the use OF
their scales and weights, or the milk-man for
his quart or other meter. In each case the
dealer has to adopt some means Of ascertain
ing how much the customer has had"
This cuts off large revenue of the Gas
Company in New York, and will affect Gas
Companies everywhere, if it be sustained as
law. as it will undoubtedly be.

STRAWBERRY TRADE.--The crop of straw
berries in New Jersey has been unusually
large. The steamboat Keyport brought on
Saturday to New York, $50 barrels. Each
barrel containing nearly 200 baskets, worth
at wholesale, nearly seven thousand dollars.
A visitor to st. Louis describes farm few
miles below the city, on which there are is
acres fairly red with these delicious berries.
Some thirty or forty boys and girls were
picking. 1t is knobby, uneven land, set with
the choiscst fruit trees of every description.
They have gathered already over eight thous-
and gallons, which have sold from so cents
to 81 80 per gallon, and expect to gather
four thousand more. Their fruit which COW
crs much more ground than that occupied by
strawberries, they expect will be more pro-
ductive in dollars and cents than the berries
Their farm is three miles from Chestnut street
near the Arsenal, and was bought some ten
years ago at about a hundred dollars pei
acre.

Social STATIsTIcs.-The States Of Massa-
chusetts, New York, New Jersey, Connect
cut, and Ohio have passed acts requiring very
Minute returns of deaths, births, marriages
and other social statistical information;
which is annually to be reported to the coun-
ty auditors and to be made matters Of per-
manent record for future reference. The law
of Ohio has but recently gone into operation,
but it has secured some very interesting and
valuable statistics. 1t shows the births
greatly exceed the deaths and that the in
crease of population from natural rflultipli-
cation is more rapid than was supposed. BY
the reports made under the law in Msssa-
chusetts it appears that the largest ercent-
age of mortality in that sIite, during the
past year, was among mechanics. Shoema-
kers and carpenters are at the head of the
list. The average age of mechanics was 46
years; Of Merchants 4S; of professional men
SO; of public men, including statesmen,
walters, actors, chimney sweeps, jurists,
fencing masters, and the like. AZ. Agricul-
turists lead the column ut the ripe age of 65.
The information required is quite in detail.
Of marriages, it isrequired to know the date
of marriage, the age Of parties; the nativity;
the condition Of parties: whether of first,
second, or third marriage. Of'birhs-the
date, name, &C., also, the still-born are no.
ted: OF dsatAs-the disease, time, age, &C.,
&c. If these particulars CANAL be obtained,
they will be of immense value hereafter, as o
matter of legal reference. The laws wisely
require that the record Of these facts shall be
received Us evidence il the Courts.
