Another classification would be thus
Nos. 1-5 are summer varieties:
Go are early and middle autumn do;
20-25 are late autumn do;
26-29 are winter do.
80 is a spring variety.
The letters and against the names mean
respectively pear roots and ounce roots, the
letter first placed indicating the preferable
mode of cultivation. The letter indicates
naturally ornamental habit of growth. A man
of taste would always give these varieties
conspicuous situation, while he would endeaV'
or to keep such "sprawlers" as numbers o.
81, &C., out of sight.
It wouId be much easier TO double the num-
Der of pears in the above list, than 10 select
from it ten or fifteen varieties which should
combine the largest proportion OF desirable
qualities.
For a succession, however, of fine, and, at the
same time, comparatively profitable, pears,
some of which-with proper care in cultivat-
ing, gathering, keeping, and ripening-may be
had in eating every day in the year, we ven
ture, with some hesitation, to recommend
numbers 2, 8, Z, 9, II, 10, IA, Is, 10, 20, q,
%, 81, %, and 80. For ten varieties we take
numbers 5, Z, II, 10, IA, 10, 20, q, %, and
either u or %. Limiting ourselves to still
smaller number, we should hardly consent to
omit such every way excellent fruits as num-
bers 5, 10, 10, 20, 81, and we might add, also,
q or %.
For orchard culture, on pear roots, and with
an eye to the market only, numbers 5, Z, 9, IA,
IS, and %, are among the most profitable OF
their respective seasons.
For market-garden cultivation, on ounce
roots, we believe numbers 10, 20, 81, %, and
25, would prove as satisfactory as any
There are also great many new varieties,
of great promise, and well worthy Of trial by
those benevolent rich men who are disposed to
aid in improving the pomoIogy of the country.
Some further gossip about other fruits must
be postponed to another occasion. j.

blown to speed us on our way. We left Hong
Kong on the 18th, amid sautes from the three

transports filed with soldiers, to say nothing
of the incessant din of fire crackers and rock"

fireworks is an ovation 10 their god of the sea,

NARROW ESCAPE OF A MEMBER OF Con-

gress from Pennsylvania, had a narrow escape
from death, day or two since. The Wash

the Avenue House, and a large number of his
personal friends were present there, last even

the reticent Virginian has gone home to add

MARROW EsCAPEs.--Two instances OF mar
row escape from fatal injury occurred on
Main street, in this city, on Saturday. One
was in the case of a little son of Martin Lathe,
five or six years old, who was run down by
grocery wagon, opposite the post office. 1t
was feared at the time that the injury to him
was serious, but he is now doing well, and
will soon be out. The other case was that
of little fellow of about the same age, who
was knocked down by carriage turning the
corner of Main and Foster streets, in the
afternoon, fortunately without serious injury.
