TIE VINTAGE-Our wine growers are
busy gathering their grapes and making
their wine. In company with some friends,
we had, Oh Saturday, an opportunity of
witnessing the process Of wine-making at
the vineyard of Mr. j. A. Corneau, near
Latonia Springs. Mr.. C's place is very
beautiful one, and commands fine view Of
the Licking and Bank Lick Valleys. The
grape culture is extending in this ncighbor-
hood very rapidly, and the sides of all the
hills will probably, in a very few years, be
entirely devoted to it,
Mr.. Cornoau has eight acres in his vinc-
yard, which will be extended from year TO
year. Ills arrangements for making wine
are very complete, and are not supposedly
any we have seen. His machine for
"steaming' The grape is simple, but it does
its work rapidly and eiiccually.
The Catawba Wine has already taken
high place among vinous 'iluids,' and we
think is destined, ere long, to take and keep
the highest rank. Mr.. Corncau has, on the
same day, shipped his wine TO st. Paul,
Minnesota; Portland Maine Charleston,
South Carolina, besides shipping the grapes
themselves to Cincinnati

IL The Washington Globe publishes
letter from Mr Dorian, late Of the Arctic,
to Mr.. Holland, father of young Holland,
who stood to his gun and went down with
the Arctic. We copy the following para
graph, which ccomprehcrds the spring of
the brave Hollands action
about two hours after tho Arctic was
struck the firing Of the gun attracted my
attentions and rccolIect that, when saw
Mr.. Hollanc, it struck me as remarkably
strange that ho alone, of all belonging 10
the engineering department, should be there.
lie must have had good chance to 60 in
the Chief engineers boat and be saved, but
he did not, it seems, make the slightest en-
erlion to save himself. His whole conduct
can be accounted for by the simple word
dutN and nothing clsc.'

RAIN AND THUNDER SToRM.-Thick
darkness prevailed Saturday forenoon, so as
to require artificial light in doors to read by;
and for more than the period of an hour
the roaring and crashing Of the thunder and
lurid glare Of the lightning as it flashed
through the gloom, were truly awful and
sublime At no period for many summers
past have we experienced more remarka-
bic thunder storm, nor did it pass over
without leaving its mark.
Mrs. Kirby, who resides on Ferry Point.
not far from the drawbridge was very serl-
ously injured by the lightning, which struck
the dwelling and did much damage to the
premises. There was some six or seven
persons in the house at the time--Mr. Hope
father of Mrs Kirby, Mrs. J. X. Hathaway,
his grand daughter and several children, all
of whom were stunned by the fluid. Mr..
Hope, being less affected than the others,
recovered first, and proceeded 10 pour cold
water on the others, who soon revived,
with the exception Of Mrs. Kilby, who re-
mained insensblc for some time and was
still paralysed to considerable extent on
Saturday evening. A young child sitting
in Mrs. lis lap, was thrown several feet
from her by the shock.-NoJolk Herald,

two of their improved sx-roller printing

~ In the death Of Capt. Thomas Pratt
Newport has lost one of It's old and long
establish d landmarks, some of which are
peculiarly characteristic of the place,-but
none more particularly so than was the de-
ceased. Capt. Pratt was, in many res
poets, remarkable man, and one whose
quaint sayings will long be remembered,
and who will be much missed from the
streets by our citizens generally. As we
stated in a former article, he was a man Of
great eccentricites of character, and many
of his sayings were maxms of wisdom and
truth, in their sternest and most practical
elements. The chief topics of his conver-
sation and peculiar remarks were the short
ness and uncertainty of life, the utter vani-
ty of riches, and the absolute importance Of
a preparation for death and an exchange of
worlds. Upon these he would at times
comment with as much carnestness and el-
oquence, and in a very unostentatious
manner, as characterize the teachings OF 81.
