Cranbery plants are an excellent substitute for white-thorn, as a garden fonce; a hedge formed of them presents an impenetrable barrier to cattle. They grow very quickly, bear fruit the third year of planting, and the crop of fruit become* more abundant and valuable every succeeding year. An account of the offering of an unlucky silver waiter, that had been a piece of plate in a house not of the best character, to the Rev.
