We are indebted to our friend Dr. Eshleman, of Down-ington, Pa., for a box of fruits, among which are specimens of the Shenk or Hesenschcnch Pear - one from Lancaster county, which though rather over ripe, was melting and fine; other specimens from Chester county were miserable deformed things, not worth picking up. The Doctor says his trees in Chester county which produced these knotty specimens were propagated from the tree in Lancaster county which produced the fine specimens sent. This corroborates what Dr. G. has before stated, that it is very good in Lancaster county and worthless with him. We do not pretend to say, however, that the difference is altogether owing to locality. Some two or three years ago we received scions of a Pear marked "Eshlman," from Dr. Brinckle, which are now bearing, and the fruit much resembles the Schenck, but it is very knotty and deformed, and not yet ripe.

Dr. Eshleman also sends us specimens of the Steinmits Catherine and Hemes Pears, neither of which are yet fit to be tasted. Also, the Brennaman Apple, a handsome looking fruit, but too ripe to be tasted; and a small specimen of Beurre Clairgeau Pear - decayed. The season at Downington, we think, must be two or three weeks earlier than at Rochester.
