Strawberry and Asparagus Reds.
While in Memphis some time since we
were pleased to see the large fields of
Strawberry Plants, Asparagus Beds, and
Small Fruits of almost all kinds, that
Messrs. R. G. Craig & Co. have for sup
plying their large trade; and we also
were pleased to see the prices charged
by Craig & Co. are very reasonable.
Every household can afford to have q
strawberry and asparagus bed, and surely
every family will agree that strawberries
and cream amt bad to take, A good
orchard Of apples, peaches, pears, plums
and cherries will also contribute largely
to the health of consumers. Send and
get what you want Of Craig & Co., Mem.

A LECTURE ON CHARLIE Ross
Ex-C Councilman James A. Logan lee
tured in an interesting manner at Hen
bricks Hall, Paramount avenue, above
Second street, Philadelphia, last Mon
day evening. upon some things that he
knew about the Charlie Ross mystery.
He said that for the last three years he
has been an amateur detective, and
claimed inemphatic terms that "a knowl-
edge Of the boys exact whereabouts is
in his possession. The bulk of the
speaker r'sargument was directed against
the parents of Charlie, whose abduc-
tors, said he, were known to the Ross
family. A lengthy review of some of
his experience in the search eliminated
in dramatic recital of his discovery
of the child at the boarding school in
Maryland, where he is willing to swear
the boy still lives. A document, upon
which is based his suit against Nelson
Parker, the darkey, was exhibited. It
purports to be an agreement between
Mr.. Ross and Mosher and Douglass for
the carrying Off and keeping Of Charlie
for the space of seven years. 'Now,"
said Mr.. Logan, Il will have it demon
strated whether it is genuine or a for

The season is rapidly drawing to a clos
and unless prices get better than they were on
Thursday and yesterday, The sooner It is over
the better. The better varieties are nearly all
done and about ali that remains now are
Smocks and SaIways. These are, at the best
Of times, nothing extra, but this year they are
smaller than common, and, consequently, bring
but low prices. One cause Of this is supposed
to be that Crawfords and other good peaches
are going into market from New York State,
Jersey and other places, and our Smocks and
such like varieties cannot compete with them.
The shipments, this week, however, have been
pretty heavy, for the season, some days run
ming over hundred car loads. The whole
number shipped, by rail, has amounted to
something over 1900 cars or 1900, 900 baskets,
on condition that each and every car carried
500 baskets. This supposing that the water
shipments have been about one-third Of the
rail shipments would make the number about
:, 100000 baskets, considerably short Of the
lowest Of the estimates in the spring, tlch
was, we believe, :, 700, 900.

Bloody Battle Between The Liberals and Con-
servatiUe- Over Three Hundred Killed.

PANAMA, January 2l,-A letter to the
Panama Star and Herald, dated Palmira,
January Sd, says;
"0n December 18th it was reported
that the Conservatives intended to rise
in the cities of Gala, Palmira and other
places. On the Goth they attacked the
city of Cali overpowered the small guard
at the Quartet, freed the political prison
ers, and succeeded in organizing force
of about three hundred men, badly armed
and began to prepare for resistance Be.
fore many days, however, the Liberals
surrounded Cali with a force ofabout two
thousand to three thousand, and on the
Oath attacked the Conservatives who
tried to defend themselves for time, but
soon succnmbed. The Liberals were ex-
asperated, believing that the Conserva-
tives had abused the confidence which
had been placed in them. Therefore
General Pena, leader of the Liberal
forces at Cali, gave orders that no pris-
oners should be taken alive, and that the
town should be delivered over to the
troops. The consequence of it was that
every Conservative that was caught, with
or without arms, was cut down. Houses
were sacked, all the furniture destroyed,
and all other kinds of outrages commit
ted. All the store-rooms and warehous-
es ofmerchandise disappeared. Foreign
ers shared the same fate as the native. 1t
is reported that the number of killed
reached 800, including woman and child
ren. DR.. Vincent Borrero, aged ninety,
one of Colubia's earliest Presidents, was
shot down. The town of Palmira was
threatened, but escaped by paying
heavy reason. President PARA has issu-
ed proclamation declaring that peace
negotiations in Antioquia have failed,
and war as the only means of reducing
rebellion is an unavoidable necessity.
