NATIVE WINE.-Nothing can be more de-
licious than pure wine, but rarely indeed is it
obtained in this degenerate age We had a
bottle of it, however, yesterday-the manu-
facture, too, of fair hands, to wit: those of
our highly esteemed friend, Mrs. W. p
Thompson, of this city. 1t is the best native
wine and the purest that we have tasted in
the country. Many thanks to the donor for
her kind remembrance of our editorial wants
and weaknesses. We found inspiration in
every drop of the rosy liquid.
