After series Of bad years caused by the rava.
ges Of the oidium, We may consider that the dis.
ease has nearly disappeared. The dryness Of the
temperature during the summer. which has proved
Injurious to cereals and other produce, has been
favorable to the vine. The fruit il abundant aud

our having been obliged to destroy many old vines
in consequence Of their having been attacked by
the disease, We anticipate vintage equalling the
averare years Of the old times. Picking for red
wine has begun generally, and We have every rea-
to believe that the red wines Of 1858, will be
in excellent quality, possessing flavor, body and
color in high degree. Az to white wines, the
vintage is later than in the case Of red, and will
not begin before the end Of this month, and will
continue throughout October.
