he means to look after the next Senator
ship from Oregon. A successor has not
yet been announced, but Ex-senator Car
penter, Secretary Bristow, and Edwards
Pierrepont of New York are supposed to
be thought of by the President in connec-
ton with the office.
The unusual severity of the past winter,
it is said has had damaging effect upon
the small fruits in West Jersey Straw
berries in many sections are entirely winter
killed. The early Wilson and Lawton
blackberries are very much injured, and
the crops, under the most favorable condi-
tions, will be light. The Dorchester berry
: which is very hardy, is not materially
5 affected. The Philadelphia raspberry
: which was largely cultivated some years
ago, has gradually succumbed to the
severity Of the late winters. Grapes are
, looking we'll Peaches are done for, and
other small and large fruits look as thrifty
as they generally do at this season of the
year.-Ne,oark ADVERTISER
