An IMPORTANT ENrEnrgIsE.-W noticed some
time ago that T. company had been formed in
Boston and New York, and that Col II. S. Me-
Comb, Of this city, had been elected President of
the company. On Thursday, the trial trip Of the
steamer Bristol of this line, took place on the
Naraganset Bay, and from the space the Boston
.4d'erfiser dcyotes to an account OF the trip, we
imagine that the citizens Of the Hub consider the
establishment of the new line an enterprise of
considerable importance.
The new company runs its own cars over the
Boston and Providence Railroad to Bristol, where
passengers will take one of the company's SPLEEN
did boats-thc Bristol or the Proyidcnce-for
their passage through the Sound to New York.
The boats, the cars, and everything connected
with the new line are got up in the most elegant
style, and the Boston reporter who accompanied
the excursion feels tempted to go to New York,
ria this line, every night.

the following very complimentary alusion to his
departure from Flint, in the Wolverine Citisen:-
PERsoSAL--Dr. VIM. S. Cornelius, who has
been remarkably successful practitioner of
Homeopathy in this city for several years, is about
to leave the city on account of his health. lie
will return to Philadelphia his former home, and
will probably locate in that city or near there
Dr. Cornelius Inns won golden opinions from all
skill as physician, while his gentemanly bear
ing, fne education, and his remarkable powers as
n conversationalist, will render his absence
source Of regret to all with whom he has associ-
atcd. May the Doctor recover his health speedi-
ly and again return to our city to remain with lis
permanently.

Strawberries as field crop are claiming
increased attention, and I propose to throw
out some hints, as to the best method of cul-
tivating them.
H. TIME of Planting. The best time,
for planting is in the Spring before the hot
Summer days make the ground too dry, care
always being taken to select the youngest
and most vigorous plants. They can be
planted with success, at other times but
Spring is generally considered much the best
Experienced cultiyators testify that they do
very well in Delaware planted in the fall.
To succeed well with strawberries, the
ground before planting should be well man
ured and thoroughly pulverizcd, then plough
light burrows three feet apart and place the
plants eighteen inches apart in the row. For
small plot they may be planted closer than
this. The one should be thoroughly work
ed the first year after planting; then in the
fall they should be mulched with straw
leaves or long manure, so as to cover up the
ground around the plants, and this covering
should be kept around them till after they
ripen the irait, when it should be raked off,
and the soil again thoroughly cultivated.
The next important matter to be attended
to is the
SELECTION OF PLANTS.
1t may not be generally understood, that
strawberry plants are Of three kinds, the
male, the female, and those that combine
both properties, and cultiyators must care
fully bear this in mind. There are some
kinds, as the Wilson's Albany, and others,
that have perfect blossoms, and will not only
fruit, themselves, but will fertilze some
other kinds. The Triomph de Gand, May
Queen, and some others need some other
kinds to fertilize them. Among the kinds
which have generally done best are Wilson's
Albany, JTriomph de Gand, May Queen, and
French's Seeding. saw to-day some very
fine berries Of the Agriculturist variety, a
new berry that is highly spoken OF, but be-
ing new, we cannot say how it will succeed
in Delaware. The Lady Fin ger is an excel
lent berry, sweet and delicious, well adapted
to garden culture.
In order to have good crop of berries
every year with the least labor, the best way
is to plant new patch once in two years, as
it is less trouble to plant new patch than
to clean out the old one, and besides, young
vines bear much the best fruit.
II were going into the business of cult
vatihg strawberries for market, / should
plant Wilson's Albany Seeding exclusively,
unless l might try, by way of experiment,
the Agriculturist, which is large fine berry,
and il it should prove to be prolific bearer,
may in time take its place among the most
valuable for field culture
1t is great mistake to plant many varie-
ties 4; there are very few kinds that will
more than pay the cost of cultivation II
there are any of our subscribers, or others,
who may wish any information on the sub
iect, not contained in the above communica
ton, we will cheerfully give it.-[AG. Ed. !

praise for though the constitution of the Institute
specially provides that such society shall be
maintained, the directors have not, for several
years, made any attempt to keep it up; and
though. to our certain knowledge their attention
was called to the matter last winter and they
were requested to call a meeting to take the sub
ject of forming such society into consideration,
they either refused or neglected to do so simple
thing as call meeting to consider the subject,

STOPPED ny LAw.--Shad fishing ceased ON
Monday by operation of law. An act OF the
Legislature Of the States of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey protect the fish by prohibiting their
capture after the 10th of juno. All that the fish

ton. For some days they have been scarce III
for food. 'As thin as June shad" is in some
parts of the country q proverbial comparison.
What the shad have 10 contend with is the stur-
geon, the gar fish and other joint occupants of
the river that fatten upon their spawn. The late
rains, rendering the river forbid, have been favor
able to the fish, and reverse to the fishermen, and
the chances for large multiplication of the
species are greater than for many long year be-
fore. As the fishermen themselves tell us this 1t
