In my estimate of the proper size for

name forty rods, or the fourth of an acre,
as likely to prove sufficient. If garden
spot of such size be fifty laid out it will
produce from one and a half square rods
fifty quarts of Strawberries; from one
rod, thirty-two quarts of raspberries;
from one rod, forty quarts of blackber-
ries; from two rods, one hundred
pounds of grapes; from two rods, two
bushels of eurrants; the value of which
fruit we may reasonably set down at
$24.25; or the strawberries and raspber-
ries at twelve and a half cents per quart;
the blackberries at ten cents per quart;
grapes at six cents per pound, and the
currants at two dollars per bushel;
prices which are less than the majority
of consumers have to pay.

HISTORY OF MINNIE ROANE-oNB OF THE y.
II. v-INsANITY IN THE PAMILr-HER
BROTHER AND SISTER COMMIT SUICIDE.
The Richmond correspondent of the New
York Herald, of Saturday, says: The proper
name of the unfortunate girl who committed
suicide at No. $50 Fifth avenue, New York,
was Minnie Roane. She was native Of
King William county, In this state, and be-
lopged to one of the most noted z. +. V .'s.
Her parents were related closely to the FAM
ily of the Hon. William Roane, former
governor OF Virginia, and her grand
uncle was judge OF the state Court
OF Appeals. and at one time United States
senator. Her mother died while herself
and a sister named Bell were yet quite
Young. to which may probably be attributed
the cause of their misfortunes and terrible
tstes. About six years ago thesestwo girls,
Minnie and Bell, ran away from their home
in King William comfy, with the avowed
purpose of beginning life OF shame and
misery. They were pursued, however, and
with the aid of some distant relatives living
in this city were captured and returned to
their home, where Tor time they were kept
under the strictest surveillance. AS soon Rs
this was relaxed thev escaped again, and
oept upon leading life of sin they entered
houses of i'll fame in this city, Minnie lefi
here nearly three years ago and went TO st
Louis and from thence to New York, where
her history since is well known; her sistel
went to Baltimore, and, 1 am informed to
day, threw herself from the window OF {
| hospital in that city and was instantl,
killed. A brother who was employed in
drug store in this city took chloroform
| from the effects of which he died. Tn

A MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE, THOUGH OFTEN
BLOCKED WITH OBSTACLES, RUNS SMOOTH
AT LAST.
The New York Mercury says that about
two years ago Henry Beermsu, a young
man residing in Hcboken, made the ac-
qusintsnce of Sophia Urle. stylish young
lady residing in Ogden avenue, Jersey City
Heights, and his attentions we're accepted
so lovingly that he soon became her ac-
cepted lover. They attended q number of
picnies together, and when the ball season
came on they did not miss an enter
taiDment. About year sgo she told him
that the marriage ceremony could not be
put of much longer or there would be q
third party to it. They quarreled, and he
went awey in anger. A short time after
ward Henry, Junior, made his appearance,
and as soon as Sophia was well enough, she
went before justice of the peace and
brought suit against Henry. She won, OF
course, and Henry was obliged to pay SO 90
per week for the support of mother and
child. His bondsman sold out and moved
away soon afterward, and Henry moved to
New York. His neglect caused another
suit before Justice Volhsrt, and several
warrants were issued, but the constables
were not sharp enough, to catch Henry on
Jersey soil, and

go to him herself instead of sending officers
of the law, and she did. The charms that
had won his trst love were potent again and
Henry returned to his inamorita. He had q
long talk with the mother of his boy, now
eight months old and the very image of its
father. At last he promised to GO over to
Jersey and seer her, on condition that no
trap should be sprung on him. He went
over on Friday evening and talked the mat
ter over; said he y as sorry, kissed the girl,
and said he was willing to marry her at once
II she wanted to. She did not stop one min
ute to talk about what dress che should
wear, but called her father and told him the
good news. The old man went for Justice
Volhart, and about midnight the justice
went to the house of joy. Sophia and
Henry were made one in a few seconds, and
they killed the fstted calf, fguratively. The
merry-making ended at an early hour yes
terdsy morning, when the justice christened
the boy Otto August Frederick, and the
father is just as proud of his wife and child
as IL the course OF true love had been smooth
as glass.
