Strawberries and Roses.

A verltable fairy bower has sprang
into existence in Stuart Corner, under
the def hand OF beautiful women, to
signalize the triumph OF Natures
bounty. One could almost imagine
that Pomona watched with beaming
eye the delight of visitors manifested
at the tempting heaps of strawberries,
or that Flora's bright smile had left a
ray OF brightness in the petals and
amid the leaves Of the wonderful dis
play of flowers.
The exhibition opened Wednesday
afternoon and quite a large attend
ance thronged the hall, and in the
evening it became a jam, while the
sweet strains Of music floated through
the air to still further enthrall the
senses under the magic spell.
