The Erie directors met to-day, to receive the
report of the committee which is entrusted with the
plan of reorganization. 1t is understood that the
committee propose oreduce the capital stock and
bonds to $50 500 000 to leave the mortgage debt as
it stands-say $4,000, 000and to give 80 per cent
of the new stock to the unsecured bondholders and
20 per cent to the old stockholders 1t is also pro-
posed to the new stockholders 81 200 OOO to
pay off the floating debt, &C., and to ask the bond
holders to fund four coupons If this be the best
the committee can do, we apprehend that they
have lost their time.

GRATING THE GRAPB.-The edl
tor of the American Planter says:

t0r OF Tue AmeIicdu IdDtef pa D
Having practiced grating grapes
for tae last ten years, never found
any difficulty in this operation; in
fact they graft as easily as any other
fruit. Instead of propagating grape
vines as is usually done by single
eye as a cutting, | always found it a
more sure way to graft them TO piece
of root,and lift bearare kind, cf along
;iointed growth, as American grapes
generally are, one bud vas sufficient.
l hardly ever lost more than five
per cent. / never used any grating
wax, but planted the gratis in the
ground Immediately, end covered
consequently the united piece with
earth. This is undoubtedly much
safu plan than relying on single buds
as cuttings. When grating on
stamps, taking two or three buds on
the graft, | have sometimes had
grapes the FIRST season, but always
a fair crop, the second summer.
