THE HEDGES.
A Husband Seeks Protection from
His Wife.

His Wife.
A few days ago Mrs. B. F. Hedges, of
Wilmingt n, was arrested on q charge Of
insanity, at the instance of her husband,
who alleged that she had attempted to
mutilate him. She was examined for
insanity, yesterday, but was found to be
sane and was ordered discharged. As
she said she desired to go to San Fran
cisco, to relatives there. and as there
will be need of her services as attendant
in the case of an insane woman who is
to 60 north, it was proposed to allow her
to 60 with Deputy Sheriff to-day. Last
night her husband appeared at the Police
Station and demanded prot ection. He
said that his wife had gone into his
hotel, on Main street, near Commercial,
and had threatened to shoot him. He
was placed in cell and given lodging a,
the Police Station, but all the hotels liz
the neighborhood of Main and Commer'
nial denied that Mrs. Hedges had beer
there. The Jailor, at the County Jail
stated that Mrs. Hedges had been out
during the evening, but no report had
reached him OF any misconduct on hel
part. She had returned to the jail, where
she spent the night.

Saturday the Senate amended the ia
cobson county seat removal bill in such
a way that the author will hardly re-
cognize it. We have not been able to
secure a copy of the amended bill, but
can give some of its features. In or
der to remove county seat 80 per cent
OF those who voted at the last general
election must petition the county com.
missioners to order an election for that
purpose. Forty days notice must be
given of an intention to petition and
notice must be published in some
newspaper printed sin the county.
The commissioners must order the cleo
ton if they find the petition correct.
Fifty. five per cent of the votes cast at
the election will decide the removal.

Two Good Strawberries.

Mr. E. Williams, secretary of the
New Jersey Horticultural society, says:
The most promising of the new
varieties I have yet tried is the
Bubach. The berries are large,
bright, smooth and handsome. 1t
appears to be both prosperous and
productive-two desirable features in
a strawberry and the quality is fair
to good.
If quality and vigor alone were
wanted I should name the Crescent
as a most satisfactory variety, but
amateurs generally want some
thing a little better. Strawberries,
owing to their delicate texture, ought
to be grown very near the point OF
consumption, and consumers who
would secure the very finest flavor
should never buy a berry that has
been carried far or picked long.

Prices of Fruit.

P. G. Reynolds gives in the Rural
Home a statement of the unusually
high prices of early fruit in Rochester
in consequence Of the scant supply.
The retail prices Of strawberries
scarcely went below ten cents per
quart than double the price in
some former years. Blackcap rasp-
berries sold as high as twelve cents,
and occasionally at sixteen cents.
Early apples were very scarce, and
Red Astrachan and Oldenburg
brought a dollar and a half per
bushel. Peaches We're scarce and
poor.

Lilies of the Amazon.

A traveller tells Of the gorgeous
beauty Of some of the lagoons along
the Amazon when the famous water
lily of that region, the Victoria regia,
is in blossom. He describes one sheet
of water, comprising possibly 1000
acres, completely covered by huge and
gorgeous blossoms, the fragrance of
which could not possibly be excelled
by the celebrated odors Of 'Araby the
blest." AS seen in our hothouses, the
white flowers are splashed with Grim
son; but our author says they vary
much on the Amazon, some of them
being purple, and they have erect as
well as floating flowers. = Boston
