GRArEs-We spoke few days ago OF the grapes
grown at the Iona vineyard, owned by John Beve-
ridge Of Newburgb, and DIR. Grant on "agners
Island. in the Hudson River three miles above Peeks-
kill. not for the purpose of drawing attention to the
fruit so much as to the fact that grapes OF delicious
favor can be grown upon many waste spot near this
city, That we did not over'rate the quality was taliy
acknowledged in editorial rooms on saturday %
all who assisted in delicious feast upon twenty-five
Mound box sent us from that vineyard The punches,
bots Of Catawba and Isabella, were well formed, full
and heavy. and the berries fully matured aud sweet.
Now the question is, if we can have such fruit per.
fectly rpened on the sd day of September, forty
miles north of this City, what in the name of common
sense if farmers have any, is the reason that we can
not have grapes enough raised to supply the demand
and keep the price below Isl cents pound at which
tuns of them are now retailing viii somebody plant

The BRERvooRr IoUsE.-One of the NEST elegant
hotels in this City and in particulars dlberngrom
any in the country, has just been opened by aessr
Judson & Sanderson at the corner of Fiftf-av. and
Elghth-st., and is called the Brevoort House. The
building is large, but combines all the domestic re-
pose, cleanliness and luxury of the most fashionable
mansion The materials of its construction and the
decorations OF the walls artsticay beautiful, and
in all the requirements OF carpets, curtains, furniture
baths etc. leaves nothing to be desired by the most
dainty and exigeant taste. We do not know any
hotel in Europe that will compare with it in its null
ttudinous attractions The distinction between the
Brevoort House and the leading great hotels of this
City lies prominently in the absence of table dhos,
or general meals There is splendid estng.hall,
but here each party or person has separate table
and calls by the card for what is wanted which paid
for and nothing more. Meals too are served in the
rooms Of the occupants if required. Mr.. Judson, the
senior partner is one of the most experienced hotel
keepers among u.s. and Mr.. Sandersen, the junior, is
rapidly acquiring Grand Vate reputation for the
irreproachable excellence with which he has any and
every dish served.
