Lancaster Annual Gooseberry Show. — This show was held at tlie Shakspeare 

 Tavern on July 23. The fruit was not so heavy as that shown last year ; the cause assigned was 

 the dryness of the weather, which stopped their growth, and ripened them too early ; this being 

 followed by heavy rains, the largest burst before the day of weighing. The crop generally is good 

 and line-flavoured. {Lancaster Herald, July 30.)
