Rlv1vAL OF ANHnlcAH Wmn- dRowzns' Asso-
oIAzIoH.-Dr. Ehalsr, Vioe-Prssident Of the
Wine. Growers Association, which has In times
past concentrated pablo opinion In favor Of
excsllsnt homemade wines, has called msot-
ing forrs-ofgan Of the Society, to be held
at2 p. N. Saturday, the 25th, inst, ct the
horticultural Rooms, Bacou's Building.
The special impulse to this was very pleas
ant reunion had on last Saturday afternoon,
at tho Office Of 8. W. Hassltins, late President
Of the Horticultural Society. There were In
attendance Messrs. John P. Foote, Robert Bu-
chanan, DR.. N. B. 6haler, John 4. Mottier,
DR.. William Bturm, Pster Gibson, William H.
Comstook, DR.. John D. Park, s. W. Hassltine,
O. b. Gefroy, E. P. Cranoh, and those excel
lent judges Of wine, the proprietors Of this
paper.
Mr.. Mottier, who has for thirty years past
been engaged in the cultivation Of the vine in
this vicinity, was called to the chair, and pre-
sided. Several specimens Of wine were sub
mitted for Judgment and comparison.
The first sampled was made from NoSton'a
Virginia Seeding BY Messrs. Husmsnn and
Manwaring, Herman, Missouri. The Nor
tons Virginia Is small grspe-the Prince
o native of Richmond, Virginia, said to be q
cross between tho Bland and Miller's Bur-
gundy; II was raised by DR.. N. Norton. Thit
sample Of red wine from Missouri was tasted
with specimen of Mothers choice Cape
wins--both Of the vintage Of 1859. Al
agreed ss to the choice flavor and bouquet oil
our townsmsn's wine, but, as o body, al
agreed that the Norton vine, from Missouri
only lacked age to prove as rich table wine
as the best Burgundy. Mr.. Mottisr, whose
wine received the diploma OF Chicago, 20.
bnowledged that the Missouri specimen Is bu,
shade below his own 10 richness and flavor
The grape Of Mr.. Mottier--of the Scbuy lkii
family Of z ape-is certainly very delicious
and these testimonials for the Missouri wine
give rs great encouragement that varieties fol
the appropriate latitudes by close attention
will insure to the West an abundant supply o.
tho choicest wines.
This Norton's Virginia Seeding at one tim,
attracted the notice Of Mr., Long worth, but Il
not giving as much promise IS expected, It rs
csivsd but little attention.
Now, as We learn from Mr. Buchanan, Il
having proved hardy and productive, Mr.
Fousnier, Mr.. Long gworth's Director, has re-
nswed to 1t assurances of bis distinguished
consideration. Mr.. Bogen, Of this city, hal
become so epsmored Of this Seeding for reI
wine, that ho has invested 81 200 In securing
bsst cuttings for giving it fair trial here

ETABBINs ATYRAY ON BRoADwAY-YoUsa
MAN SERIOUSLY INJURBp.-A stabbipg ARRAY
took place last evening, on the corner Of
Broadway and Fifth-street, in which young
man named James Mankin was severely
wounded by another, named Patrick Burkin.
1t appears that the parties were unknown to
each other, but met atlthe place above.namsd,
whom one jostled the other rather rudely as
they passed. This gave rise to epithets and
blows, and during the quarrel Burkin drew q
knife and stabbed his antagonist in the
abdomen, inficting Q very severe and dam
gerous wound. The wounds of Mankin were
examined by physician and dressed, after
which he was removed to the home Of bis
parents on Elm-street, between Eighth and
Ninth. Burkin was Immediately arrested and
confined In the Hammond-street Station house,
to await an examination before Judge Lowe,
which will take place rs soon as the condition
of the wounded man will permit definite
charge to be made. Both the parties are quite
young. Mankin, who, we believe, has been in
tina employ Of Moore, Wilstach, Keys & Co.,
not being more than seventeen, and tho other
less than twenty years Of age.

EXTRAORDINARY SuIoIDl--MAN KILLED By A
STREET RAILROAD CAR.--Between eight and
nine o'clock, on Saturday evening, man
whose name 10 unknown, lay down upon the
track Of the City Passenger Street Railroad
Company, ct the corner Of Fourth and Elm,
and patiently awaited the approach of the car,
which finally crushed him to death. He was
first taken into drug store in the neighbor-
hood, but life WAS extinct, and ho was re-
moved to the Commercial Hospital. Coroner
Carey yesterday held an inquest upon tho
body, but II developed nothing in regard to
his name or previous history which threw any
light whatever upon the circumstances which
led him TO self-deatrucMon.
Since tho above was written We have learned
that the deceased was named j. B. Bowen,
and formerly lived in Covington. He was
plastersr, but for some time past has been on
gagged as . bill-poster, and has wife and two
children residing on Sixth-street, between
Vine and Race. To judge from his appear
snoe, Lachesis would not long have stayed
her severing stroke, and suffering seems only
to have hsstened what must have occurred in
little while.

The announcement that tho Countess Of
Landsfslt would lecture at the Melodson on
Saturday evening, drew an Immense audience
to that establishment, almost every member
Of which, We are sure, had Witnessed her be-
fore, Sither a. woman, danseuse or actress, and
yet were curious and apparently rs much in
tereatsd in the new character she has assumed,
a. though they had not yet seen her.
She retains her piquanoy Of manner, and
distinct enunciatiop, and often smiling her
thanks for the applause which greeted her
appearance, bowed gracefully, and wished to
be EXCUSED for the liberty she had taken In
looking ct, heretofore, the almost unnotioed,
comical side Of John Bulls character.
England, she said, was tho workshop Of
the world, and the middle Glasses of that fog
beoloudsd island were as much alike their
Yankee cousins as two peas which had grown
In the Same pod. New England was English
OF tho base, and the habits, method of doing
business, even tho manner In which the poo
pie Of that portion of the country had de-
prived the aboriginess Of their land, were ar
guments in favor of the assertion. They re-
solved that the country was Gods, and that
they were Gods people, and thus reasoning
themselves into the belief that II was theirs,
they took and kept it.
The Epglish would meddle with the busi.
ness Of other nations, and she had taken the
opportunity during her lats visit to toll them
so. They were, nevertheless, social and
praiseworthy in domestic life, but their love
Of money ruled almost every other passion.
Tho mighty god, Cupid, was compelled to sue
cumb In part, although he continued, In spite
Of this, to make qoite q number Of fools and
rascals even there.

and there, and no difference existed even

more than half century old.
Now piquante and sarcastic, then droll ani
Witty, the petite Countess by turns laughed
and lsshsd the follies and foibles of tho peo-
ple, and entertained her audience Throughout
the lecture and sent them homo with pleasan
thoughts-s rare gift, and one almost abso
lutely necessary in any ono who undertakes
to do all tho talking for an hour.
This evening she will lecture on "Fashion,
