Strawberries.
IN, Y. Evening Post.

In general improvement has been noticed
of late in the quality of fruit. We have
more and finer varieties Of the apple; the
pear is much better in general than 1t was
ten wears since; of the grape there are many
new and excellent varieties which the mar
ket knew nothing of few years ago, and
there are some excellent varieties OF the ras.
berry lately introduced. But the strawberry
has decidedly deterioriated, and the result
ia owing to the general culture of Wilson's
ALBANY for the market. Wilson's Albany
is sour, crude berry which is not fully ripe
when it is perfectly red, and even when per-
fcetly ripe is still too acid. When 1t first
makes its appearance in the market 1t has a
decidedly harsh favor and very little OF the
agreeable aroma which distinguishes the
finer kinds of the berry. If not eaten very
sparngly it disagaees with the stomach and

the prices according to the quality of the
sort. This is the way they do in the mar
kets of Paris. A poor sort, although tn the
berry may be large, is sold cheap. The
more delicate kinds-the sweet, juicy and
high favored-are disposed of at higher
price. Here the Wilson should be sold the
cheapest of all, while such as the Jucunda;
the General Wilder, and the McAvoy should
bear prices corresponding to their excellence

A HOMEMADE GUILLOTINE.
From the Chicago Tribune

LAFAYETTE, Ind, June Thames A.
Moore, aged about thirty-five, living on .
farm near the Farmers Institute, about 10
miles south of this city, committed suicide
at the Lake House in this city last night.
He leaves a wife and three children. No
cause is known for the deed. The manner
in which It was accomplished is perhaps
unparalleled in horrid ingenuity. He came

of three inch wide by one inch thick iron,
sixteen inches long, which he had riveted to
the head of the axe. On either side, fas-
tened to these bars in the shape OF han
die to an axe, he had system OF wooden
bars eight feet long, the extreme end OF
which was fastened to cross-piece, secur-
ed to the floor by hinges. The axe was
raised and held to it's nearly perpendicular
position by q double cord, fastened to the
wall. Between the cords stood candle ar
ranged 10 that when the candle burned
down to the cords il would burn them Oft,
and the axe fall. Where the axe would
fall he placed q small box, open on one
side, in which, when found, was his head
with some cotton, which had been chloro-
formed. His chin was held mp from his
neck by stick run across the box, through
holes on either side, holding his head firmly
in position. He was strapped tightly to the
floor with two straps, one around islegs
another about his arms and breast. Inc
straps were both screwed to the floor, rem
