With regard to shipping BERRIES & PEACHES
from your State to this market allow me to say that
il doubtless land it is to quite extenO be done
very successfully and satisfactorily. Ship all BY
American Express Company from Philadelphia TO
Buffalo, the rate being 81 90 cwt. and crates returned
free. The Adams Express Company brings feult
from most all points in Delaware TO Philadelphia at
75c cwt. hence the avarage charge from Delaware
10 Buffalo will be S2.75 cwt. and guarantee TO pay
for all crates not returned The fruit will be on the
way but IA hours from Philadelphia and you know
the time required TO transport them from where you
are TO Philadelphia. The fruit should be picked
about as many hours earlier tthan if intended for
New York msrket) ~ it requires extra TO get them
here. All No. Irut properly packed and shipped
will surely result satisfactory. have no soliciting
agents preferting to do all business direct with the
growers. Growers will be furnished with my own
semi. weekly Produce Circulars made up by mvself
exclusively from actual sales the day published.
Slra berries averaged in this market in 1871 2Oa2J

Novel Motor Machines.

The American Artisan, in a brie: paper
Oh small motor machines in Europe, gives
the following concise description Of the
Leuoir gas engine: "The gas engine OF
NJ Lenoir in external Appearance resem
bles horizontal steam eng ine, and indeed
is nearly the same Internally, baviu. the
same parts, piston, cylinder, valves, etc,
but he power is otained BY expanding IA
mixture of sss and atmospheric AIR IN the
cylinder. During the first half Of each
strOke the piston sucks into the cylind r
air aud gas in the right proportions At
the half stroke the mixture is exploded be
an electric 81 ark. which forces the piston
through the remainder Of the stroke"
Though it may be II question whether there
has as YET been invented motor more
economical than the steam engine, yet the
convenieDee of the gas ens,oe will gain for
it special fsvsr. With the medical test
ulsay regarding the Injury T. the system
from the operation Of s.wiaS assef,iue
pedals, It Is es,jcet that any Convenient
device fc~ ~opiying mechanical paser To
the workin, of these machines viii be re-

Doctors Visits.

1t is not only for tie sick mat, but for
the sick mans friends. tnat the doctor
comes. His presence is often dc good for
them as for the patient, and they long for
him yet more eagerly. How We have all
watched after him! What en- emotion the
thrill OF his carriage wheels in the street,
and at length at the door, has made us
feel How We hang upon his words, and
what a comfort We get from a smile or two
if We csn vouchsafe that sunshine to light
en-. Who hasn't seen the mother prying
into his face, to know if there is hope for
the sick infant that cannot speak, and that
lies yonder, its little frame battling with
fever? All, how she looks into bis eyes.
What thanks if there is high. there; what
grief and pain il he casts them down aud
dare not say "hope." Or it is the dear
father that is stricken. Then terrified
wife looks on, while the physician feels
his patients wrist, smotheFing her agonies,
as the children have been called upon TO
stay their play and their talk! Over the
patielt in the fever, the wife expe:tsnt, the
children unconscious, the doctor stands as
if he were Fate. the dispenser of life and
death; he must let the patient of this time
the woman prays so for his respite! One
can fancy how awful the responsibility
mus. be to a conscientious man; how cruel
the feelies that be has given the wrong
remedy, or that it might have been possible
to do better, how hsrrassing the sympathy
with survivors, if the case is unfortunate
how great the delish. OF victory!

balance in. favor Of the Odessa wheat Of
$l97.50.
The average yield per acre for the more
than two million :res of wheat raised in
Illinois, in 1872, was but thirteen and two
tenths bushele.~ sz
The three principal causes of this low
average are: First, defective tillage; &C.
cond, unfavorable season; third, poor
seed, which maintain is tbs most impor-
tant of the three. Perhaps it is too much
to cay that a jud;cious selection of wheat
would double the amount of wheat raised
in the state of Illinois.
