To The Editor Of the ITimington,an.
In your last Number, an additional io7p
and scurrilous publication has appeared a.
gaiust me from the famous would-be Irus-
tees Of St. Peters Church, backed by the
certificate of Patrick Higgins, and the after
piece of the notorious Quack Doctor, of OH
tossum memory. That shameful production,
fraucht with the most glaring falsehoods, is
degrading, and unworthy the character of
anv Trustees, and which, as member,
much regret.
have turned those "Trustces" over to
the legal authority who have no doubt will
duly appreciate their wants, and do them
that Justice their infamous deeds deserve.
MY statement, by way of reply, in your
former paper, is substantially correct; and
have been, and am ready and willingto settle
on Just and equitable terms with the church,
with any men selected who are not devoid Of
principle, but | never can condescend to
men 50 destitute of every principle that cha

WE, the trustees of st. Peters Church in the
Borough of Wilmington, State of Delaware, see
ng an appeal to the public by william LarkIn,
wherein he charges ,is, Peter Fierce, BERNARD
MCann, Bernard M'Guigen, and John Durnn
With uniIstly assang, and most wantony Sian
dcrng the said Vim. l.arkln's character. He
then proceeds to say he feels it duty he owes
to himself and his friends to rcpcl the unauthor-
izcd, base and ,lnfonudcd charges made by those
caiumniators, and expose them to that contempt
they merit. lie then comes forward, honest
man like, to exhibit 10 public view a statement of
the facts connected with the lottery case alluded
to: he rcqu, SIS the public TO recollect the pc
riol the Legislature granted the lottery, in 1922
for raising the sum of 5000 dollars for the use of
81 Peters Church and payment of debts, over all
expenses he then states the managers Of the
lottery then agreed that one of them should sign
the tickets, and receive the money, and pay
the przes--this was the most substantial part of
the business, although poor BILLY says it was un-
ortunatc for him, or as the selfcrcated trustees
would have il, it was unfortunate for the Church
the trustees are a get of impudent fellows, for
not pitying poor Billy's severe loss, and not the
losses of the church; poor Billy goes on to in.

faced falschood, that he paid the church, i'll cash

public opinion with the same insolence as he has
treated the congregation Of ST. Peters Church,
We now challenge you to come before any three
or more respectable men Of the Borough and we
are ready to meet any hour you appoint, face to

Mr.. Billy Iarkn why are you barking at me J
We never had the change OF an unpleasant word.

Do you state there is no suit against you but
you will find that you must get better security

December last, when you intruded yourself in
to my house, without an invitation. You then
heard Mr.. Keenan, say he wished | would
come to Lancaster and live; and you also know
that Mr.. Keenan is parish priest in Lancaster;
and that he told you never lived in Lancaster,
so see that telling lies is as necessary for your

you committed your falsehoods and defamations

inches from the ground, in March; the fourth
year cut them from two or three feet high
taking away all but one branch from each
vine, for tralings to make the new rows, or
for cuttings to set elsewhere. Some OF the
vines bore grapes the third year, on the

cut from three to four feet high, tying them
to a prop or stake. When the young clust-
ers appear, pinch off the shoot above the
second cluster, and also the buds or sprouts
which put out at the but-end Of the stem OF
the leaves. which sprouts would form limbs
or branches that would cucumber the clus-

and thus prevent them from coming to per-

GATHERING.

EXPENSES.
I calculate it cost me seventy live dollars
per acre to plant and attend to the vines,
until they began the third year to bear.
QUANTITY.
In four acres, about one fourth bore grapes
the third year, and made about three bar
rels of wine; the fourth year made thirteen
barrels; tie mn gear M,rty-one barrels,

observe, that many of the vines were young,
as yook away many that were not OF a
good sort, and replaced them, and the first
vines were two years old, and in some places
three, before they were sufficiently long to

SOIL.
Mine is slaty ridge. in a limestone
country, and presume there is limestone
under it.
PLANTING.
Iplanted my vines in rows, by digging a
french four feet long, and about nine inches
wide, and fifteen inches deep. In this plant
cd, at each end, two cuttings, about three
and half or four feet long, letting two buds
appear on each vine above ground, then l
filled up the trench, packing the ground
pretty tight; then, four feet from the end OF
this trench. dug another similar, and plant
ed 1t in the same way, and so OH until the
row was finished. BY this mode the vines
are two in place, and each two, four feet
from the next in the row. The next row
planted twelve feet from the first, in the
same way. The second and third years,
when the shoots were long enough, dug a
trench crossways, from each row, four feet
long, towards the opposite row, and laid
the branches or shoots from the first plant
ed rows, IN them, letting the ends of the
two vines be little above ground; by this
means two rows in the twelve feet interval
are formed, which makes all the rows four
feet apart.
