Lancaster Annual Gooseber7'i/ Show. — This show was held at the 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 sto])ped their growth, and ripened them too early ; this being 

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

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