T6kefP Grapes Fresh-Thc following process
IS SIMPLE and the success certain. Take new
cask dry and strongly hoped, stand 1t IN some
spot where the temperature Is always very nearly
equal, cover the bottom of it with bran that has
been well died IN the oven and put INTO 1t therlpe
unbemlshed, perfect bunches layer by layer, film,
IN with the bran, before another layer 10 LAID down
When filled, the head must be fastened down air
tight. Grapes thus put up will keep 50 well, that 7
months after the vintage they will be unspecked,
without mould on foreign flavor, even the greylsh-
white down upon them, the same as lficeh that mo
ment from the VINE Klln-tlred spent ashes ar,
used by some instead ofbran or, as franhiiR re
commends, very dry milIet seed. 1t was his Gus
tom to keep grapes fresh in kegs lined with Chinese
sheet lead, and filled compactly with millel-seel
The Spanards use saw-dust, dried III the sun and
the casks are previously paint d inside with pitch.

LATE OMISSIONS.

ihe Esd ef JEAtafy Gto'y.-It is es timatcd that more than million of bush els of human and inhuman bones were imported last year from the continent ol Europe into the port of Huh. The neighborhood ofLeipsic, Austerlitz, Wa tcrloo, and of all the places where, dur ing the late bloody war, the principal battles were fought, have been swept alike of the bones of the hero and of the horse which he rode. Thuscollect- ed from every quarter, they have beer shipped to the port of Hull, and thence forwarded to the Yo; lshire bone-grintl- CTS, who have erected steameneines aHd powerful machinery, for the purpose of reducing them 10 granulary state. h thisscondition they are sent chiefly to Doneaster, one of the largest agricultu- fal markets in that part of the country, and are there sold to the farmers to ma Rure their lands. The only substance gradually evolving as the bone calciAes, makes a more substantial manure than almost any other snhstaHce-partieul ular- ly human bones. It is now ascertained, beyond a doubtsby actual experiment upon an extensive scale, that dead sol dier is q most valuable article af com meree; and for aught We know to the contrary, inc good farmers of Yorkshire are, in d great measure, indebted tothe bones of their children for their daily bread. If is certainly q singular fact, that Great Britain should have sent out such multitudes of soldiers 10 fight is battles upon the continent of Europe, and should then import their bones as n article of commerce to fatten their soil.--Enghsh qqper.

Extraordinary Coatest.--CaptainCro
 in a work recently published, relates the following as having occurred on yoy- age 10 Memel:-"One morning during a calm, when near the Herbrides, all hands were called up at three in the morning to witness battle between sew eral of the fish called thfashers and some sword fish on one side; and al enormous whale on the other. 1t was in the mid dle Of summer, and inc weather being clear, and the fish, close to the vessel, we had fine opportunity of witnessing the contest. As soon as the whales back appeared above the water, the thrashers sprang several yards into the air, descended with great violence upon the object of their raneour. and lntiict- cd upon tim the most severe slaps with
 their tails, the sounds of which resem-
 bled the reports of maskets fired at q distance. The sword fish in their turn,
 attacked inc distressed whale, stabbing him from below and thus besct on all sides and wounded when the poor crea-
 ure appeared, the wateraround him was
 died with blood. ln this manner they
 continued tormenting ard wounding ol him, and have no doubt they, in the end
 accom- rlished his destruction.
