THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD. — The placid spirit of the celebrated monogamist

still presides in his old abode. The Yorkshire popers tell us of a Horticultural Society that met on the 2nd at WaliclIeld, when the Vicar produced—a strawberry ! that bears fruit from May to Oc- tober—indeed until the frost actually kills it ! What more could be required even of a gooseberry ? The 'Council of the Society strongly recommended to the meetine—a black Spanish radish ! and a turnip !

If the world would but follow the example of the people of Wakefield and their worthy-Vicar—cultivate strawberries, not neglecting black Spanish radishes, also turnips, what a delightful place this earth would he!
