TIE GREAT VALUE OF LAND NEAR CIrIRs.-
Peter Henderson, the noted New York garden
er, says it is more profitable to pay $4,000 per
annum rent per acre for land within two mile.
OF city than to have it, rent free, eight miles
distant. But in fruit growing, the more profit
able branch of farming, there is a much greater
difference in favor of land near city. Grapes
for instance, can be shipped without being
packed in small boxes and crates with an al
dltlOnal cost Of one cent per pound for express
charges; ] cent per pound for commissions; /
cent per pound for selling work of packing
carriage, &c, cent per pound, making K
cents per pound expense in dspOsing of tn
crop, or stopper ton. And as "A crop of grapes i
sometimes four tons to the acre, it would cost
$4,000 per acre TO dispose of the crop. While
for vineyard within two or five miles of a CITY
there is no expense for packages, above the
wear and tear of the baskets, which would not
exceed one mill per pound per annum. The
expense OF gathering, = cent per pound; cart
age 10 the city markets would not exceed l. 10 OF
cent per pound, making only 5000 per ton.

MRS. SMITH MAKES OATH THAT HE STOLE HER
FURs AND PRESENTED THEM To THE WIDOW
Peter F. Slecker, a genteel foreign-looking
individual of considerable STYLE and finish, was
before the Police Court Saturday, charged with
the larceny of set of furs, valued at S25, from
Mrs. Lydia Smith, who keeps a boarding house
on Capitol Hill. Mr.. SlecSer, it appears, rented
room in the fourth story Of Mrs. Smiths house
and took his meals out, and had his washing
done occasionally by outside parties.
DIsAPPEARANCE or MRS. SMITHS FURs.
Mrs. Smith, an lderly lady, testified that the
man had been a bOarder at her house for more
than one year; that she had put her furs away
and had had occasion TO get them out TO send to
the furrier TO do up, and found them gone; this
larceny had been committed about one year ago.
She afterwards called upon Mrs. Brown,
where he visited TO inquire if she had them.
and she denied having ever seen them. She had
lost many 9th er things from her house, but did
not know who took them until she found the
furs She went to see Mrs. Brown again and
found that she had received the furs from de-
PENDANT.
HOW Mr.. sLECKER USED MRS. SMITHS FUR
CAPE TO WRAP MRS. BROWN.
Mrs. Brown, a tall and genteel young widow
lady, testified that Mr.. S. gave her the furs
about the 18TH of October, last year; she recog-
nized the turs, and he presented a portion Of
the furs to her at her house. She had never
worn them, as she had turs of her own. She is

and afterwards, finding that he was getting into
trouble by pulled them both out of his pocket
and returned them to her. This convinced her
that he was a rascal, and she had no further use
for him. Detective COOnes recovered the furs
and they were restored to Mrs. Smith. The
court imposed a fine of 800 and costs, or six
months IN Jail. An appeal was noted, and
bonds fixed at $500.

drape them in half circle in front, let
ting them swing low around the edge
OF the oyerskirt apron they are then
caught to the waist on each side and
tied in long loose bow with hanging
ends on the left. Watered ribbon sash
es draped in this way are admired for

are similarly arranged. Velvet sashes
are rather heavy for this style, but are
worn nevertheless.
