BROOM.

Ftre.—On Thursday morning hat, a fire was disco.
vered on the premises, in the rick yard of Mr. Moreton,
farmer, of this place. Shortly after the discovery, infor.
mation was sent to Stourbridge, and the Phamis and
Alliance Fire Engines were soon on the spot, and were
brought into play on a rick in the yard. The rick, which
ass a valuable one, was destroyed. It is not yet knot n
how the fire originated.

LIGHT WlNES.—Althoaßli the consumption of light
wines has trebled in England since the reduction of the
rate of duty, they have not at present taken the position
as beverages of rhtily and general consumption that we
may confidently anticipate for them in the coarse of the
next fa w yearr. That there has not been a more rapid
increase in due in some measure to the high prices of
that particular description of light wines, viz., those
from the district of Medoe, which more than any other
is suited to the taste and requirements of this country.
Looking at the many millions of gallons of claret pro-
duced annually in the diatricts around Bordeaux, It
must be admitted that peat prices have been somewhat
fictitious. Thus although the vintage of 1068 waa as
abundant and similar is quality to those of 1864 and
1865, the prices of that year were higher thau were ever
before known in the Medoc. Fortunately, however, the
year 1869 has also produced an abundant and equally fine
vintage, and this has caused a great change; the prices
for moet growths haring been less than half that of
1866, and the remaining wines of the 1668 vintage in
Bordeaux have been sold at prices little in excess of
1869. Thus, while the ordinary growths of the Medoe
have been eeeured at prices admitting of their being
sold as cheaply as the ordinary wines of less favonred
districts' the choicest growths of the various chateaux
need no longer be regarded as luxuriee beyond our reach.
The reports from Bordeaux mention considerable pur-
chases having (men made by the firms of Gilbey, Cruse,
Clossman, Schroder, Southard, Wastembarg. rtc • and
we may presume that a large portion of these are in-
•er ilett for the English market. The fact that good
wholesome claret, which when diluted with water forms
a beverage equally as cheap as beer, and far more refresh-
ing. can he obtained, through the medium of such
agencies as Gilhey's and ether houses, of the grocers in
almost every town and village, is a great boon, and will
no doubt bring about what medical men and other autho-
rities so muclo desire, viz.. a large consumption in this
country of light or natural wines. As far as price is
concerned, there iu no reason Why claret should not be
consumed here Sn freely as in Paris, the charges for duty
and i,onveyance being about the same to London as to
the French capital.—Morning Post.
