WINE rnos Native WILD GRAPES.


The Messfs. Tabor, Of Hennepin IN this
State, have been for three seasons past, ex-
perimenting n tie manufacture Of wine
from the native wild grape, sent us recently
a sample Of their most recent, and highly
successful experiment, which should have
been ere tlis acknowledged by Us. They
|areconfilent, and indeed itseenas abundant
ly indicated thu. they can produce what
will becomes with age a superior wine. The
great object to be attained is careful hand
ling and in sufficiently large quantities in
bulk to continue for longer period and in
greater seree lie yinous fernentation.-
They have already sent five barrels oftheir
products to this city, and express a conf
dence based on their own experiment, that
Chicago viii eventually receive and be the
market for no inc3As;,lerable amounts Of
these native wines. s. g. Tabor writes us
that be Is preparing to cultivate On 4 liberal
scale the best varieties Of the wild vine, but
that thus far a supply fully up to their IA
cilities for manufacture had been furnished
from the wild vines of the river bottoms
Experiments of this class, and more extend
ed ones are leading to a valuable but unde-
veloped field in the Northwest.-Press &

manufacture Of good wine from native
grapes, but no recipe for the manufacture.

ton to General Stephens Of this place to
meet him at the Town Hall for the purpose
Of testing their superiority as Swordsmen.
Last Tuesday evening the Town Hall was
crowded to its utmost extent by those wish
ing to witness the exhibition. AT about
half past eight o'clock Professor Wallace
took the floor and gaze an exhibition Of the
cuts, CARDS and tIrusts after which, Gener-
al Stephens took the floor, soldier ike, and
went into a long explanation on the utility
ofthe sword, practically Illustrating every
thing by giving the cuts, thrusts, guards
and parties.
In due time it was announced to the au-
dience that the gentlemen were prepared for
a ~set to" and in time both appeared upon
the floor, masked and equipped for action.
General Stephens received six cuts and IN
return gave ten, when the acknowledgement
was made that General Thomas Stephens
was the superior man Of the two. Thus,

|. UsuRy.-The legal rate Ct interest wa.
REDUCED from twelve to ten per cent; b
our late legislature. the locks, penalties and
terrors for excess of usury remaining the
same as before, being no less than forfeit
ure Of principal and interest. We regret
the reduction, not that we oppose the prin-

changed until the panic, I'll and all leaves
the country. Laws regulating and restrict
ing theusc and abuse Of money should on
" be corrected when such correction can
hurt nobody that is, when times are flush.
That the law will stand is probable, from
the fact that people 50 generally believe, in
fact they know, that the crisis hanging over
the country was produced mailly BY ex-
cessiye usury, by which the multitude Of
lenders we're 50 long and 50 surely but grad

that It should 60 into the market free fol

worse when let run free and unlicensed

CONNECTICUT ELECTION -REPUBLECANs

AT the Election in Connecticut held on

A q. S. Senator IS 70 be elected in place
Of Alr. Foster, Tie House is Republican
by a nearly two-third vote and the Senate
stands 3 Republican, los democrats.
Connecticut was the great battlefield Of
this year. The New York city merchants
had contributed $4,000 to please their
southern trade BY seducing Connecticut in
TO democracy. The cry from one end Of
the State to the~sher was, "unless thd
northern elections go democratic, the
:. South won't buy any more boots, shoes,
and other articles manufactured in the
north, and viii dissolve the union
The election WINS botly contested in eve
~ quarter; ii New Haven where tie dem
ocrata control the ballot box, the German
Republicans were driven from the poll, BY
which some hundreds Of Republican votes
were lost Still, the childish cries Qf no
more Conneeticut boots and shoes" "fare-
well union" did not avail. We say, to
thunder with trade, ifprinciple must be
sacrificed to obtain it. Better to root IN
the. earth and resort to tilling the soil and
dressing in skins than to be driven into
democracy and aid in supporting the cor
rnptest government on earth. God save
the spunlSy people Of old Connections, and
send them rain and sunshine
