We are indebted to our friend A. O. Babcock, Esq., of East Troy, Walworth Co., for a very acceptable mees of ripe Strawberries, the first we have seen this season, They were mostly Burr's New Pine, with a few Early Scarlets, and in size and flavor not easily matched anywhere. Mr. Babcock informs us that he picked his first mess of Strawberries on the 31st of May, and that he has now fourteen different varieties growing in his bed. Of these, for a hardy, productive, and early plant, he gives the preference to Burr's New Pine. We have rarely seen or tasted berries of as large size, or fine flavor, as the specimen he sent us. - Milwas-kes Daily Sentinel, June 8.

The varieties noted above were not ripe at Rochester until about the 19th or 14th of June. Our first picking of Early Scarlet was on the 18th. There is not usually so wide a deference between the climate of that part of Wisconsin and Western New York, but Our correspondent, H. W. S. Cleveland, Esq., who has contributed to the pages of this Journal since its commencement, has sold his fine farm near Burlington, N. J., and is about to take up his residence somewhere in New England. He cannot but feel something of regret at parting with the orchards, vineyards, gardens, and graperies, to which.he has devoted so much attention for many years. "We wish him a favored spot for his new home, and hope to have an early account of his improvements.
