A few Words of Welcome to our Strawberry Crop.

i,»
| Ix the Prince Edward Island wild straw- ‘berry is ever beaten in the competition for favor, it will only be by adding the one cubit to its stature. It would be woree than useless to try and improve its flavor, ounce for ounce, it is unspproachable by eny artificially ‘produced berry in the strawberry world. It is extraordinary ‘what pains are taken by garden historians | to locate the origin of the various fruits. The almond has Barbary assigned to it, the apple, Syria; the apricot, Epirus; the cherry, | Pontus; the gooseberry, Flanders; the grape, Portugal; the lomon, Spain; the lime, _ Portugal; the mulberry, Italy; the nectarine, Persia; the clive, China; the peach, Persia; | the pine apple, Brazil; the plum, Italy; the quince, Austria; and the strawberry, | Flanders; but there is very little reliance ‘to be placed on such a catalogue—but if ithe Geologist will tell us, who anchored |Prince Edward Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, we will tell him who first put |our wild staawberry in her meadows, along ‘her highways, and upon every little hill. ‘It was no human fiat that did the one or ithe other, for human effort has been direct- ed to its improvement for centuries and as yet signally failed. The P. E. Island berry (to use the over-the-border expression of supreme excellenge) ‘* takes the cake,” and jin return (it may be suggested) the short- 'eake takes the berry, and every body lucky enough to get a slice) extols the gastrono- mic alliance. It is not, however, every iwild strawberry plant that furnishes the berry. There are many kinds wild and worthy (asthe Fragraria Virginiana, eom- monly called the scarlet strawberry. The Fraygraria Vesea, variously known as
‘alpine, wood, English, etc) brt there is only
one kind that excels all others, and that is the common wild berry of Prince Edward Is!and, which in this year of grace 1885, hes developed more and larger blossoms, ‘than the oldest inhabitant remembers, which as we hope, are the coming straw- berry events that cast their shadows before arrival. Now all ye cooks and ladies fair, Vo herever ye are found, Of spoiling berries, do beware, And orly use the sound,
Don’t waste the juice, and serve the rest In sodden pies, too sweet :
The straw berry is only best When it and justice meet.
If you must make the old plate pie, (Fit only for the deuce.) A little cornstarch will defy, The capers of the juice, The following strawberry information may be of use to housekeepers, many of whom object. to undertaking what they do

after “‘knowing how.’’ The first receipt
shall be how to make STRAWBERRY WATER.
Crush together 4 ib. of finely-sifted sugar and 1 1b. of red-ripe wild P. E. L straw- berries, and add $ pint of cold spring water. Filter this throngh a seive into a pan, adding 2 pints of spring water and the (strained) juice of one lemon... When ready, put into a pitcher, stand it on a plate, and wrap it round and over with a wet napkin. The evaperation from the napkin will keép the strawberry water nice and cool, without the use of ice.
STRAWBERRY SUORT CAKE,
The ingredients of this are.1 cup of sour milk, } of a teaspocnful of soda, { teaspoon of salt, and 2 table spoonful of butter. These are to be mixed and baked in a quick oven. half of s‘aawberries, and mash them fine. When the cake is done, split it in two and butter each part. Put on a layer of sugar, then strawberries, then sugar, then the top of the cake an4 serve immediately.
STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM
The proportions are 2 oz. of finely powdered sugar, and } pint of good cream to every pint of picked, clean, ripe straw- berries. ‘The berries are put into a glass dish, and sprinkled over with powdered sugar. Siir the berries lightly to ensure even sweetness. Pour the cream over the i top and serve. ' STRAWBERRY JAN. i s fect well ripened and sound straw- berries, free from storks, and put in a pre- lserving pan, to each pound of berries, '} pound of loaf sygar. Simmer over a light fire frora 30 to 45 minutes, care- fully removing the scum, and only stirring enough to prevent burning at the bottom of the pan. Put the jam in jars, and when cold cover down. Well, the time to put these practical re- cipes to good use is now right here. Soon the fragrant strawberry,
In buckets fal! will come, From every road and ferry,
A substitute for ram”.
Then every thirsty seeker, May find the drink divine,
That fills his crystal beaker With unfermented wine.
Then shortcake comes in fashion To glad the young and old,
And slake the hungry passion For strawberries untold.
Then girls and b»ys in parties Will gang in picking groups,
And make their berry sorties With scarlet-fingered swoops.
And here and there (per steamer) On fruit enjoyment bent,
With berries ripe and creamer Will pleasure groups be sent.
While ample cream-libation, From ‘‘Jersey’s” richest store,
Completes the sweet ovation, And, asks for nothing more.
So come on berry season. Come thov, with ample toll,
Ang to our feast of reason Add thon, thy flowing bowl.

“‘strawberry.” It is variously attributed to its straw-like runners, and to the fact that straw mulching is so valuable a protection to its perfect maturity, but there is no truth in either allegation, Our Anglo- Saxon ancestors, finding it so broadcast over their lends, called it (from their Anglo-Saxon verb, Streowian to strew) the streow-berie, and if it were now correctly pronounced as strew-berry, it would express itself more nearly after, and by what it originally was known.
*It is said that the free use of straw- berries, has cured. the unholy thirst for rum,

LETTERS TO THK EDITOR.
The Alberton Vendorship and Hon. Mr. Strong.
Sir,—The question was asked by a cor- respondent, in a recent number of your paper, ‘‘ Is the Hon. Wm, G. Strong, who seconded the resolution in the Methodist Conference anent the Senate’s amendment to the Scott Act, the gentleman who voted to fasten a whiskey mill on the people of Alberton.” In reply I beg to say he is, and that in violation of a distinct promise given to the Alliance at its last annual meeting, where he made an eloqaent speech and characterized the action of that body as not only philanthropic but patriotic. He dwelt at length on the good they had done in enforcing the Act, and was glad to be among them, as he was in full sympathy with the work. The question was asked him: ‘‘ Do you think it will be possible for us to induee the Licensing Board, at its next meeting, to withhold all vendors’ licenses in the town and county, seeing that in the County of Holton none are issued, and knowing the manner in which they are violated here. in reply, he said : ** It seemed to him that the Act provided for the appointment of some, and that the Board were compelled to issue them, but he would assure the Alliance that the nwm- ber would not be inereased.” The Alliance then waited on Mr. Pope’and made the same request, and, to his credit. be it said, he was willing to give his vote with Mr. Strong and withhold al! licenses for one-year. The future alone will reveal Mr. Strong’s motive for refusing to act with Mr, Pope in this matter, and his promise to Mr. Pope that if he consented to the appointment of two vendors in Summer- side, and left the nomination of them to him and the chairman, they would not appoint any in the County for this year. Mr. Pope, finding himself in the minority, gracefully consented to this arrangement, and you, Mr, Editor, can judge of. his sur- prise and indignation on learning that this promise had been broken, and@ a vendor in Alberton appointed and dealing medicine out freely before he knew anything about it.
It now appears that some members of the Alliance were severe on Mr. Strong for granting any licenses, and the wisperer car- ried it to him, He then declared *‘that he had done all he could to please the Alliance (not from principle evidently) and seeing their ingratitude he and the Judge would run it to please themselves.’’ Hence the Alberton vendorship, which will in all pro- bability be followed by another in Ken- sington and Tyne Valley.
One of the vendors here is allowed to keep a premises with a right of way lead- ing to a back yard, and in the rear cf his oftice a room is fitted up with table, chairs, tumblers, pitchers of water and straw mat- trass, where liquors are conveyed from his
, t ith the full kuow- While baking, take a pint and a/| counter and cogsumetl ws
ledge of at least two of the commissioners, a member of Stanley Division having taken one of them in and exposed the modus operandi,
The result of this action on the part of the ‘Judge and myself” is that the Alliance have become disgusted and discouraged, and are doing nothing to enforce the Act, and whiskey flows here as freely as it did under a license system. The responsibility rests on Mr. Strong alone, and his best friends are grieved, if not surprised, at his conduct in this matter.

A House Struck by Ligatning at Canning. ESCAPE OF
MARVELLOUS THE OCCUPANTS,
A violent thunder storm passed over Capning on the afternoon of Saturday week. The lightning was frightfully vivid. The Western Chronicle says: ‘‘ The two and a half story house, owned by John H. Pineo and occupied by Timotay Dimock, narrowly escaped destruction. The light- ning struck the chimney, bursting it end scattering the laths and plaster all around. The electric current followed the chimney to the lower floor of the dwelling, then crossed the room by the floor in a north-west direc- tion to the corner of the room, where it burst a hole through to the shop beneath, running down the large front window, bursting out the glass, tearing off shut- ters and casting the wood work in a shower of splinters across the road. The most marvelous thing was, that notwith- standing there were three persons in the room where the lightning crossed the floor, the only one mjured was a young man, who received quite a scratch on his cheek from a flying splinter. The lightning passed right under this young man’s feet; the riven wood raised his feet from the floor. Fortunately he was standing on a mat, which must have kept 'the fluid from leavitig the floor and going up his legs. The mat was tern from beneath his feet and thrown up in a heapin the corner. The house was filled with dust and sulpherous smoke, and it was thought that the house was on fire. But no fire accompanied the flash, and upon examina- tion no trace of fire or even discolorment
could be found, but the wood looked as if
It is worth noting, that there is a curi- ous popular impression, about the name
it had been torn to eplints by a powerful wedge.”
