GENERAL REMARKS. 
HE heavy rainfall experienced. of late has been 
beneficial in 
The sharp frosts we > have in this part experienced at 
night have not, I find, on careful examination, done 
any large amount of damage to blossoms of fruit 
trees on walls. There will now be no further neces- 
sity for watering fruit trees for at least another 
month, pu ground having now had a thorough soak- 
ing of ra Advantage should be taken of the 
moist osi of the ground to throw out and 
finish any of the alleys, dividing the fruit tree border 
from the vegetable quarter, which will assist to give 
the garden a neat appearance. 
STRAWBERRIES. 
Those plants that have had old lights placed over 
them for an early supply, should either receive an 
occasional егар or, better still, have the lights re- 
moved w n seems imminent, so that the plants 
can receive re the benefit of the same; and the lights 
be aced before nightfall, Forced plants of 
provi satisfac 
for oneal pe com than younger plants, which sel- 
dom fruit well the next season after planting.

will: жо observe d, growt wth bei

LAW NOTES. 
MRS. FLORA CAMPBELL v. THE CALE- 
DONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. 
e has been a rather complicated and een 
interesting case. husband 
Campbell leased from Mr. Duncan анов dos 
9 acres of ground, the first lease of which expired at 
Martinmas, 1874. A second lease was drafted for 
nineteen years from that date, but was not executed 
—that is, it was not signed by either of the parties. 
It was, however, in a sense acted upon, and was not 
disputed until the Caledonian Railway Company 
obtained an Act of Parliament acquiring the neces- 
sary lands for extending their railway from Greenock 
to Gourock. In the course of their line they cut 
through the market garden of Mrs. Flora Campbell, 
taking 1 acre 3 roods 14 poles, and it came to be a 
question whether they were liable to pay from the 
date of taking over the or one year's crop 
and profits or for the termination "i the га but 
unexecuted lease. It was h parties to 
submit the ир part of the diede to the arbitra- 
ment, of Professor Professor Roberton, of Gl
