STRAW wBERRIEs.-This delicious fruit is now album
dainty supplied in our markets. The fruit is, how
ever, not abundant in all localities Strawb berry
festivals are now the order of the day, which, with
cake and ice cream, constitute the main staple of
modern festivals at this season of the year.
AS general thing fruits are not as generally cul-
tivated as they should be, though we are fast be.
ginning to learn its value. There is nothing
wholesome than fruits eaten in season The small
fruits, straw berries raspberres and Others may be
eaten with sugar, but milk should be avoid
ed if the question of health is to be consulted 1t s
also better to eat it in the morning, say for break
fast, than later. The old adago that "ruit is gold
in the morning, silver at noon, and lead in the eve
ming" is n truesm now universally acknowledged.
In the use Of sugar for small fruits fine puverzed
should be used, instead of granulated as it is not
only better, but decidedly economical, as any
one can learn by making the experiment Only
that portion which is melted in the mouth is tasted
the remainder, perhaps one-half, is swallowed un-
dissolved. Confectoncrs understand this matter.
The vulgar idea that fine pulverized sugar is adul.
terated with -four is without foundation. If it wcrc
90, Il test is at hand teaspoonful dissolved in a
glass of water would soon detect its presence. II
pure the water will become perfectly clear II
adulerated the -four will be deposited at the bottom

The MIDDLECREEK RALRoAD.-The work OF
, the Middiecreek Railroad is progressing finely
About two-thirds of the road, between this an
Selinsgrove, has been graded and the appearance
of the state of affairs has favorable aspect. w
can no longer see any just reason why the roa
should not be built Sufficient money can be Sc
cured to get the road in running order between thi
place and Selinsgrove, which is about onef fourth
the distance. After capitalists from abroad tha
our people are in earnest about the matter they vii
lend us helping hand. Engineer Arms informe
) US that he had partly made arrangements with
party to furnish locomotive for the road on libers
terms. Every day brings with it something ne,
which adds to the success of the undertaking. Th
time for the payment of the subscriptions has e1
pired and nearly one-half of the money subscribe
remains unpaid. This is evil which should
a remedied ifpossble. Ifthe arrearages were prompt
ly paid up, the work would be pushed on much NOR
rapidly. Let the stockholders pay up promptly an
many of the present impedmen,s will be removed.
