THE CONTRAST. 

 By Magnetic Telegraph for the Daily Horticulturist. 

 Norfolk Ya., June 10. — Mr. Fraser, exposed for sale this morning at the 

 Plum St. market eight bushels of fine ripe figs of six of the best vai'ieties, for which 

 he obtained nine dollars a bushel. He contemplates devoting his whole farm to this 

 delicious fruit and next year will supply Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore 

 and Washington daily. 



By Magnetic Telegraph for the Washington Jacobite, 

 Buffalo, June 12. — Ann Jobson hung herself last evening at eight o'clock 

 with a bed cord. The desertion of her lover was no doubt the cause of this rash act. 



THE contrast. 

 By Magnetic Telegraph for the Daily Fruit Grower. 



Cincinnati, Sept. 26. — Never before have we seen such a 3'ield of grapes as are 

 now coming in from the neighboring vineyard. Mr. Greatworthy housed before 

 two o'clock with men, women and children, forty tons of Catawba grapes, by means 

 of the new patent Grape picker. The whole will be passed through the mash-tubs 

 before night, except a basket of selected fruit to be forwarded by express to the 

 Fruit Grower. We are no longer dependent upon the Rhine or Bordeaux for our 

 beverages, and since spirituous drinks are abolished by public opinion, we see no 

 drunkenness in this State. Wine in moderation is the sole beverage of our happy 

 people.

Yera Cruz, June 13. — A whole flock of woolly horses was shipped for New 

 York this morning, where no doubt they will be appreciated. They were caught by 

 lassos on the plains of Guadalaxara. Accompanying the horses is a baby two weeks 

 old that weighs one hundred and sixty pounds, consigned to a well known house for 

 exhibition. The Barnumite will please begin to puff. It is a boy and has three 

 teeth.

Boston, June 14. — The prospect for fruit in this region was never better. The 

 improved new varieties of June Pippins were in market to-day, and sold readily for 

 five dollars a peck. The June Bergainot Pear will be fully ripe to-day, and the 

 growers do not despair of so far improving this delicious variety as to have it fit for 

 the table in May. Mr. Grapeleaf has Peaches that will be on table next Sunday. 

 The new Lily, as large as a Sombrero, from Australia, bloomed this morning, to the 

 great delight of a refined audience \ the opening was announced by the ringing of 

 bells. Persons at a distance should hasten their visits. 



This, Mr. Editor, is suppositious, but I suggest to your readers whether the 

 information we sometimes do receive is as worthy of a place as that which I 

 foreshadowed ?
