the same good feeling by being the first of
the European powers to rescind the recog-

milton which the precedent of England and
France led, and virtually compelled her and

Hundreds of families were selling out at va

Scotch immigrants, who come gia Liver

to the demand for labor but they differ from
the Germans as to the locality it is best TO

which, after the two and a-half inch bore is
made, is only about a quarter of an inch
thick. On the outside of this core or cylin-

which it is impossible to burst except with a
most extravagant and enormous charge.

STRAWBERRY EXHIBITION of the
principal attractions in our city at this time
Is the strawberry show of Mr.. Knox, at his
fruit store, No. 20 Fifth street. Those of
our citizens who wish to see something per-
fectly awful should not fail to drop in for
a few minutes to-day There was an ad1ni-
ring crowd coming and going all day yester-
day to see the wonders.
The tables will be replenished with fresh
plates OF the same and perhaps other kinds
this morning.
The most noticeable feature is themagnif
icent specimens of his berry known as 700,
lie showed several quarts of this kind. that
were composed of berries weighing individu-
ally from three-fourth to full ounce, and
measuring from seven to nine inches in cir
cumterence. BY actual count, it required
but from twenty to twenty-five to fill aquart
measure. The producing capacity of this
variety is beyond belief, until seen ON the
plants on Mr.. X s farm.
Excellent judges and disinterested parties
who saw the great exhibition at New York
on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
declared most emphatically that this show
beat that. When it is known that the New
ork exhibition was contributed to bv the
most noted and successful growers in the
East, 1t will no longer be matter of sur
prise that Mr.. Knox is so extensively known
as the strawberry King All of this
