Strawberries.

At a late meeting Of the Cincinnati Horti-
cultural Society the subject of discussion was
the mode and preparation of beds for Straw
berries, and we give the opinion of one of the
leading members, which may benefit those
wishing to set out beds this fall:
Mr.. Howarth stated that he had been ask
ed what was meant by paved beds he con-
sidercd the term correct; they were matted
ones running to much to foliage. He was
still of the opinion that animal manure-too
freely used is prejudical to the culture of the
Strawberry; it begets too much foliage
Claimed that the Strawberry reproduced it.
self annually. Felt the force of conscious
ness that June planting was superior in its
effect upon the strength of the plant than
either Fall or Spring planting; suggests the
benefit Of immersing plants Immediately after
taking them up, for the purpose Of Starting
new beds, in mixture of ear tn and water to
the consistency of cream. Mr.. II. said of
the controversy in reference to spring and
fall planting, that he was fixed in the opinion
that fall planting was the best, if omitted in
the spring, by all means, for then the plants
took root and produced the first season,
whereas, in the spring planting of previous
year runners, you obtained crop only the
second season. 1t is much the best to take
the first developed rooted runners of the same
spring for spring planting.
And now, as to variety in formation for
the better enduring the severity of our sum-
mers and winters; also, the only objection to
Mr. Longworth's, which stated some wears
since, was, that there was such thing as a
necked plants, in varieties in the plant as
well as in the fruit, and not to be relied on
rs well as the varieties that start their leaves
directly from the ground And as to perpet-
mating the old bed, consider the best mode
to draw line over your bed across the run
ners Of previous year, and leave about six
inches wide Of plants, then dig about 1S
inches or two feet each side Of plants left
early in the spring, and alternate the entire
every year or two slightly with top dressing
with saw-dust or ether rotted vegetable mat.
ter, such rs rich vegetable loan, but not
without apparent exhaustion of the soil man
0ested in the weak growth Of the beds.

Period Of CESSATION of Animals.

As we are often enquircd of in regard to
the period Of CESSATION, and many persons
being unacquainted with the proper age, for
production, we thought it would be interest
ing to find in the following table the results
of observations made on this subject, by
scientific observers. The true causes which
abridge or prolong, more or less, the period
of CESSATION in quadrupeds, and the incuba-
ton Of birds, are unknown; but if they vary
more than few days from the mean or prop
er period, they must be considered prema-
ture or irregular.

Hqhss Harmony.
The lark maye q her sweetest song,
Al rising from the waving corn,
On soaring winss, she skins along
70 welcome In the rising morn:
Her sweetest song ID nought - me,
Compared to homes sweet harmony.
Deep In the woods, the nightengale,
At midnight hour, may tune her lay,
May pour upon the list'ning vale
Her loveliest streams Of melody:
Lovely her midnight lay may be,
But loveller homes sweet harmony.
Sweet are the songsters Of the spring,
And Of the summers sunny days,
And autumn's feathered warblers sing
In rapturous strains their sweetest lays:
Lovely the songs Of bower and tree,
But lovelier homes sweet harmeuy.
But oh, what cheers the winter night,
When al around 10 dark and gloom,
When feathered songsters take their flight,
Or All q gloomy little tombs
IT'S at such hours ~ these that we
Prize most our homes sweet harmony.
Oh, when dark clouds about M lower,
And LIES drear winter DER ~ comes,
IT'S then we feel your magic power,
Ye songsters Of our hearts and homes:
For soon the lowering clouds do dee,
From our dear homes sweet hsrmony.

Posi,ion of thc New York Herald.


The New York Herald an influential aud independent
Democratic organ, and paper of the largest circulation
in the Union coming out gradually for BELL and Ev-
ERErr We make the following significant extracts from
its issue of Wednesday morning:
"Whie the dissolution OF the Democratic party releas-
es the South from its despOtc rule of the last twenty
years and will operate in that section under BELL ana
Everett bring into the foreground substantial con,
servatiye Union party, somewhat resembling the od
Wing party there is good prospect OF similar reacuon
in the North.
1.-THE independent conservative men,
bers of the Democratic party looking to the future IRON
the ruins of their party camp in the North as well as in
the South will be very apt fall back upon the ticket OF
Bell aud Everett aording the best existing nucleus
for new, sound and healthy national organization.
1.-The mercantile and manufacturing classes of the
North ike the substantial savehoders of the South
emuenty conservative in their political instincts, habits
and opinions Their interests make them These SUBJ
stnal classes Of the community are therefore, as much
against the South they to that wild Southern faction
opposed to the 'irrepreSsibe conflict OF the North
which seeks to lead the cotton States into revolution,
and a separate Southern confederation.
THE Bell Ticket, North and South, at this moment
represents large proportion of the solid wealth OF the
country Out OF the existing confusion oil the Democracy
aud considering the sectional limitations OF the Repuo
can party this Constitutional Union party much rid
culed of late for its weakness will soon be respected fol-
its strength.
'From that moment this Constitutional Union party will
begin to shine as the rising suu and the heir apparent
for the succession-a great homogeneous national party
North and South resting its cause upon the solid ilnan
cal commercial and industrial interests Of the country
aud suspension of this terrible slavery agitation which
has wrecked all our deunct Presidential parties OF the
last forty years"
Verify. the friends of BELL and EVERETT have ample
cause to be encouraged and full of hope and confidence
All hands to the rescue and the day will undoubtedly be
