New Strawberries of Merit.
Subjects of Interest to Lovers OF Fruit
BY L. II. HAINES.


The long continued dry weather in
many localities has prevented many
persons from setting out strawberry
plants during the past summer. 1t
may be of interest to such persons to
know that they can yet put out
strawberry plants with fine success
during the first six weeks or two
montGs OF fall. Even here, where we
have had abundant rains for a month
and a halt. there are number of per-
sons who Intend making plantations
of this irrit this fall The cool months
of tall are favorable for giving a rap
lid growth to the plaAtS, an though
VVss plants could easily have been set

preferred by many persons for doing

DAYS III II s'i s -,
James Viek is the name OF one OF
the newest varieties of strawberries,
and is attracting unusual attention
among those who saw tee2plants in
fruit during the past season. 1t will
be introduced to the public for tHs
first time this tall. 1t is especially
noticeable for its great productive
ness, two hundred 1 eighty berries
having been counted on one plant,
and nearly two bushels OF ripe fruit
picked from one row OF 80 or 100
Ieet in length. The fruit is of large
size, coxcombed, colored evenly, and
is OF good quality. It's frlnnesS"may
also make it of great value for mark
ct, as tho berries have been sent 30O
miles by railroad, and yet arrived In
fine condition.
FmchS Proljfc.-rhis is a variety
that is also now considered very
promising as market berry. 1t Is
almost, if not quite as firm as the
Wilson, of about the same size but
of slightly brighter color. The plants
nave hshter colored foliage, and are
healthy and vigorous growers. The
frnit has KEEP; five or six days after
being picked, being still in salable
condition at the end of that time.
.Jersey Queen is undoubtedly the
most beautiful berry in color and
form that is known. Upon suitable
soil the fruit grows very large while
It's flavor is excellent-Ihe large and
small berries alike being of delicious
quality. 1t rlpens late in the straw,
berry season.
Manchester is another very pop
uiar berry. 1t will be especially de-
sirable for those who have poor light
soil, or who cannot afford to use ter~
tilizer in enriching the ground, as it
gives abundant crops on such soils.
| The fruit is OF medium TO large size,
sufficiently firm for shipping long dis.
tances. aud sells we'll III market. The

immense crops of large berries. II

also hear good reports OF it from
points as. far out as Iowa.

From tie Times

TRENT, Sept. 81.
During the last fortnight a calami-
ty has fallen upon the inhabitants of
this valley more severe and more
widely spread than anything they
have ever had to endure in past
times from the passage of hostile
armies, which have in all ages found
the Bremen their readiest way into
the plains OF Northern Italy. The
devastation caused by the late floods
must be seen to be understood. The
accounts one could read in the TIA
lian papers were all so vague, and
bore the impress of terror and de-
spair so evidently upon them, that l
resolved to see what | could for my
self. Accordingly I drove from Riva
to this pIace-railway communica-
ton is entirely cut 1of-and have
examined the locality. The environs
of Trent present a spectacle of
ruin, and they are a fair sample of
what has happened along the whole
length of this valley, both above and
below the city, a distance of some
1870 miles. You will have heard
much of the miseries of the people of
Verona-how their gas was extin-
guished, their ovens put out, their
cellars filled up with mud, several
houses falling in, and famine only
averted by bread baked at Milan and
Brescia. This state of things, lasting
four or five days, was very deplora-
bic, and the lamentations of the news
papers were not at all exaggerated.
But great cities have the means Of
prOclaiming their misfortunes and
getting sympathy and aid, while what
affects the country people makes it
self known only within very mar
row radius. sr
The river known to us by its TIA
liam name of Adige,a but in German
Etsch, has a total cori rse Of somewhat
over 200 miles from its Source at the
top of the Vintschgau till it sinks in
the flats and lagunes of the Venetian
coast. For the first part of it's course
the fall is very steep, and the cur
rent has the rapidity Of an Alpine
torrent, while the body Of water col
lected during this long descent is
CHI greater than that of any Al

pine toTrent-grcater lar than thac
OF the Rhone above the Lake of &C.
neva. At Botzen the Etsch is Joined
by another river Of magnitude equal
to its own, the Eisack, and the two
together form a body of water sufi-
GENTLY imposing in itself, but capable
of becoming formidable from two
causes. The first is that the melting
of the snow on the south side of the
Alpine chain is much more rapidly
performed than on the colder north
ern side. The other source of dan
ger is the steep, mostly precipltous,
incline of the mountains which wall
in the valley along the bottom of
which the river flows. This steep
fall of the hills on both sides has the
effect of precipitating at once upon
the bed of the Adige the whole rain
fall of any given period.
1t happened that above the whole
region Of the Italian lakes there had
been a prolonged dry season, while
in the early part Of September the
F0hm, a warm southeast wind, be-
gan to blow. The mountains were
glorious in their colours while this
wind prevailed, and had that distinct
ness Of outline which precedes q pc
Rod Of wet. The warm southeast
wind raises the yapour from the
Adriatic, bringing it towards tho
Alps. AS soon as the tops of the
mountains are touched by the mois-
ture, charged air, the cold precipitates
the vapour in rain, and this process
must 90 on until the wind shifts to
another quarter and blows from the
land instead of from the sea The
rain began to fall about the second
week in September-nOt showers,
with intcrvals-not a steady slow
rain, but d deluge, turning all the
roads into brooks and the fields into
swampS. AS the rainfall runs very
quickly off on this side the Alps, or
is soon evaporated by the sun, we
did not at first view the matter in
any other light than in the compare
lively trivial one of the pleasure of
the tourists being stopped and the
loss of custom to the hotel keepers.
1t was rather amusing to have to get
to your hotel at Como in a boat and
to be hauled out of the frst-foor
window into the steamer in the morn
ing. But as time went on and the
rain showed no signs OF abating, it
became clear that more serious inte-
rests were menaced. The column in
the local papers headed Election
Movements" grew less, and that with
the rubric I" foundations" grew long
err every day. At last the intelli-
gence that Verona was under water
and the inhabitants placed in the con-
dition of a blockaded town without
bread, reused us from u apathy
and made us forget the grievances of
wet boots and dripping umbrellas.
The serious business to the English
tourist, whose time for return was
drawing near, was that the Bremen
was impossible. Not only is the
railway entirely stopped, but the high
road is broken up, and we must re-
trace our steps towards some of the
western passes, though it cannot be
ascertained here which of these routes

Welded TO LAURA.-She was beauti-
full he loved her devotedly, and happi-
ness seemed to pervade their every act.
But trouble came. Sickness paled
Laura's blooming cheeks, dulled her
sparkling eyes, enfeebled her constitu-
ton, emaciated her beautiful form, I'M
strung her delicate nerves and untitled
her for active life. With an aching
heart her husband consulted doctors,
administered their medicines and
talked with friends. Notwithstanding
all this care and attention, there ap-
peared no relief for her aching head,
that painful back, that irregular uterine
action and that emaciation. Another
friend called who had seen such sick
ness and at once suggested the use of
DR.. Dromgoole's English Female Bit
tiers. as he had known it to cure similar
cases. Her husband procured it at once
and placed her upon its use. He soon
had the satisfaction of seeing Laura
restored to health again.

of the negative, Of putting the word

Conference.

The Opelousas District Conference
of the Methodist Church was in session
in our town during last week. All the
business of the conference was trans
acted with open doors and free seats.
Ten preachers and twenty lay delegates
were in attendance, besides a large
number of the friends and members OF
the church in the district. Bishop Ii
nus Parker presided, and also preached
three sermons, which, for depth OF
thought, catholicity Of spirit, and gen
uine piety could scarcely be excelled.
There were ten sermons preached dur
ing the conference which were well re-
ceived by the large congregations. The
Methodist Church was full to overflow
ing. At several Of the night services
great numbers OF persons could not
find room. The conference. business
was directed towards the subjects OF
education, church literature, missions,
spiritual state OF the church, Sunday
schools, class and prayer-meetings.
The ministers seemed alive to their
duty and the interest of the church.
From their reports, it seems they have
not been idle during the year.
Bishop Parker expressed himself as
highly pleased with our country and
people, and remarked that this was the
garden spot of Louisiana. He also ex-
pressed great satisfaction at the pro-
gress OF the church. During his stay,
the Bishop visited several of our citi-
zens both in the town and the country.
Among our country friends visited, were
John c. Gillespie, Capt. F. J. Montgom-
cry, and Capt. Jones Smith.
The singing was congregational. AS
many as two hundred voices were at
times engaged, and the songs could be
heard for many squares around.
From what we learn the conference
made good impression on our people.
Several persons joined the church, and
will be received into full fellowship to-
morrow night Sunday night at s P. NJ,
at which time an appropriate sermon
will be preached by Rev. I. j. Hough,
pastor of the the Church, to which he
invites all our citizens.
The Methodist Church has been dull
and seemed to struggle against many
Universities for several years, but dur
ing the last year or so has had vigor-
GUS growth. They have large congre-
cations, raise great deal Of money
build extensively, and have received
nearly one hundred new members.
Mr.. Hough, the pastor, will preach to-
morrow night, and the next day leave
for the sea shore, to rest, and for his
health, and will be gone for six weeks
or more.
