SHOCKING AccDENT--On THURSDAY morning,
two men, Frank FIenzer and Wiliian Weier,
who were engaged ia digging a pat on the prop
erty Of Mr.. John Albeitz, lost their lives by IN
haiing a current of foul air from privy vault.
The place they were excavating was for the
purpose of draining privy, and Frenzer, who
applied the auger in order to connect the Priyy
vault with the one which they were digging, was
overcome almost the instant the current struck
him from the hole he had bored. Weier strang
into the well, which was about - feet deep, To
rescue Frenzer, and shared the same fate. A
man named David Hays followed, and was al
most dead in less than three minutes, when he
was drawn out The two unfortunate men who
were dead in the well were speedily covered
with water. They were drawn out, after about
half an hour, with grSPnels. They were both
married men, and leave families behind them

Failurc f,he Cipciuunti Grnpe Crop.


Within I radius of twenty-five miles of Gin
cinnali, it is computed that there are twenty
five hundred acres of ground devoted to the cuI-
ture Of grapes In favorable seasons the ave
rage Of wine per acre is 200 gallons, equal to
half a million of gallons as the whole crop for
the section described, worth fresh from the
press S5OO,OOO. The failure of the grape crop
is therefore serious loss to the eultivators and
We regret to see by communication in the Gin
einnati Gassae, that to the general loss of the
fruit crop of apples, peaches, &c, in Ohio this
season, that of the grape is to be added. The
writer says;
The crop this season may be designated as a.
most an entire failure. Some few vineyards will
have something of a crop, but, in the aggre-
gate, al the wine produced viii not pay the ex-
penses of tending the crop. There are three
distinct diseases to the attacks Of which the Ca
tawb1 grape is exposed. The mildel0 generally
makes its appearance soon after the grapes are
set, and may be known by the appearance OF
white powder scattered over the grapes. But
this disease is not nearly SO destructive as The
rot. which attacks the grapes after they have
swollen nearly TO their full size Itcommenees
with = small blue blotch on the surface of the
grape, which continues rapidly TO spread till
the whole berry becomes rotten. And when it
attacks one grape on a cluster, it seldom stops
till they all become effected Within few
weeks time, vines that had at first given the
greatest promise of an abundant yield, will ex-
hibit nothing but clusters of shrivelled, dried
up, blaekened substances that had been plump
grapes. Another disease also called the rot, but
entirely different from the last, may be known
by its commencing in the inner parts Of the
grape. Through the transparent euticles, veins
Of dark color first make their appearance,
which continues to spread till the berry becomes
affected in every part This latter disease &C.
ours only occasionally, and it may be compared
TO the workings of death on the human race, as
exhibited by the usual disease peculiar to our
species; while the other malady is more like
the Pestienee or the plague, sweeping down
whole PlatoOns, and spreading destruction by
the wholesale.
Various opinions are held in regard to the
causes of the dsSirHefI0e rot. Some attribute il
to close pruning, some to the deterioration Of
Catawha grape plant and some to the atmos-
phere; while there are others who think it Is
owing to the condition of the soil, want of un-
der or surface drainage, etc.

Railroads in Minnesota.

Mr.. L'Hommedieu, President of the Cincin-
nsh and Dayton Railway, has just made a
pleasure trip to the Falls of St Anthony OF
course he finds great country on the Upper
Mississippi, and his eye very naturally takes in
the Railroads in progress thereaw5y. he writes
tIat the highest point on the Mississippi river
the roads now reach is Prairie du Chen; bot
that Mr. Selah Chamberlin, the great contrac-
tor, says that in about three months he will have
the Milwaukee and Mississippi road to La
Crosse. The same gentleman has contract
for so miles of the Minnesota and Pacific Rail
road from St Paul, and large force to work
on it tbeyond ST. Anthony. He is to complete
it in two years. THERE'S also road building
from Minneapolis, opposite St. Anthony, down
the Mississippi to Iowa, called the Cedar Val
ley Road, through which it is expected the first
o1tIet will be had to the Eastern cities from St
Paul or st. Anthony. De Graf, another Ohio
Railroad builder, is at work with large force
on road leading west from WinOna- The land
grants and State aid of credit, enable these
works to be prosecuted.
The Winona Republican took US to task with
spirit for remarking recently that the road west
from Winona is ten years ahead of the wants of
the country 1t insists that the route is not
through sParsely settled or wilderness section
of country, that on the other hand the line is
one of the Oldest and best settled in the State,
and that the road will pay as socn as built. We
trust our Winona friends viii get rich dividends
on their stock

ADvERTIsINo-The Philadelphia Ereai1g
Bulletin, noting the falling off in advertising
which has accompanied the hard times, says:
Disseminating to advertise is like taking
down ones sign. It is a sort of intimation Of
retirement from business, and the public treat
It as such. Or they may regard it as evidence
Of something having gone wrong IN the busi-
ness, which requires privacy for the purpose
of investigation. Whatever construction may
be put upon 1t, the result Is disastrous Now
we advise ell our readers who may have fallen
into the common erTor of the season, to come
out of their holes, 10 put up their signs once
more, and to advertise as much and in as many
papers as they did in the best times While
business creates advertising, it is equally true
that advertising creates business. 1t creates a
talk and 4 stir IN business circles, and reminds
people that they have no right to be leading
dfones' lives, even though the times be dull
And even in the worst Of times, advertising al
ways pays well, and the more OF it there is, the
greater viii be the circulation Of money, and
the sooner will we be restored to s condition of
prosperity.

SENSIBLE PREssNT.-SOme of the members Of
the lst Baptist Church, Chicago, recently agree
ably surprised Mrs Howard, wife of the Rev
DR.. Howard, by presenting her with one of
Wheeler & Wilson's best Sewing Machines
Speaking Of labOr-savers the Hartford COarg.f
remarks:
What wonderful assistance 10 female labor
have these machines been. They work rapid
ly, surely, strongly and accurately. The sew
ing for large family which formerly took
months, is now done IN as many days, and done
full as thoroughly. Women can now have
leisure for other employments or for mental
Improvement These labOr-saving machines
have made a wide difference between the con-
dtion Of women now from that Of l75S. Look
hack upon the old kitchen Of that year-the
two spinning wheels, large and small, the
hetchel for the fax, the loom, the colOring ket-
tie, each had their appropriate place. Now,
all these articles are unknown. Machinery
does their work. It IS no economy for even the
poorest to employ them WOman's task was
then arduoUs. Her hands were always busy.
Besides, the orlinaIy duties of cooking,wash-
ing, &c, and the sole care Of several children,
she had to manufacture from the fax and the
wool every article Of clothing the family used,
with the bedding beside. This she did alone,
until her daughters were old enough to help
her. and then they were obliged to lay up
stock Of sheets, blankets, towels and table linen
for their own married life. Women lcOrked in
those days Now machines do the work, leav-
ing the women to embroider s'scarlet tailed dogs
in sky-eolored c0nvulsiOns."
The only complaint We have ever heard Of
these sewing machines comes from the poor
seamstresses, who say that they diminish their
poor chances of earning scanty living.
