STRAwBERRlEs AND PEAcHEs.-
Croscdipg the Season. The New
York Express Of yesterday has the fol-
lowing:
"With bracing snowstorm in pro-
gress,it is pleasant to reflect that straw :.
berries are generally due about the
first week in April, and that they can
even now be obtained for the trifing
sum of $40 per quart The earliest
consignments of strawberries are from
Savannah, and usually sell from 81 so
down to 81 per quart, cheapening. as
the spring days lenghthen, until Jer-
sevmen can deluge the market with
them. The importations of peaches
come somewhat in the same as those
Of strawberries-that is, first from
Savannah, next from Charleston, then
from Norfolk, then from the ports Of
Delaware, and finally, in the tall sea
son, from the rich flats of New Jersey
each succeeding week opening a
new source of supply further to the
North. This year even the Southern
have experienced climatic severity and
the usual date of the receipt of fruit
will be deferred, and at present it is
only the wealthy OF the extravagant
who can indulge in the luxury Of fruit
1t is related that two weeks ago al
order was filed for one quart of straw
berries at $l3, and two ripe peaches a
$40, for wedding breakfast. Their
is something like a revival of Mida
and the golden touch in the story, TO
the fruit may be said to have been lit
orally worth almost its weight in gold.

An exhibition was given at the Colored
NJ. e. Church on Wednesday and Mon
day evenings last. by the eolorcd people
of our place. The object was to secure
funds for the purpose of repairing the
fencing around their cemetery. The
exhibition consisted of songs. declama-
tions and plays. Their parts were well
acted and the audience we're pleased with
their efforts. With the exception Of so he
misconduct after leaving the church,
everything passed off pleasantly. 1t has
become the habit of some of the younger
persons who attend this church to dis
turb the quiet Of the town by making
unnecessary noise while on their way
home. We are sorry to see it and hope
that hereafter it VII. be unnecessary to
remind them of this improperly.
