FINE eaterday after
noon We visited the premises Of Silas Glaspsll
at the lower end Of town, and took look q
bic grspsfy. IT is probably the BEST one In
the county. This year be has 800 bearing
vines. which he calculates will yield on On
average about two pounds each. They are
powiA blosson and in . very prosperous and
promising condition, Last year he sst ont
seven hundred vince, and this year about Ave
hundrsd more, making in oil fifteen hundrsd
oil OF which will bear fruit year after next
M. @. tskss much pains to forward the growth
Of bic vines. and il 10 highly probable thst in
few yeafs he will have grspery that will be
. source Of mach profit. The blu6 along this
vicinity is admirably adapted to grape culture
and the only wonder il. that more of the prop
erty holders thsrssbouts don't engage in the
sultar& Mr.0. hss also 6ns lot Of goossbsrry
plsnts. strawberry vines.Ae. He says be intend,
to set ous three Or four thousand more grape
vinss nsxt year. We hope be will be attend
ed with good success in his labors. not only fol
| bic own benefit but for the encouragement o
others in the sams line We think that grape
raising will be feature in this vicinity before
| many years.
ED. DEMocRAr The disquisitions
of on hullsd stra rawberriss. in the Gasetts
may evince great deal Of erudition, but only
think Of it: The fellow buys HE four quarts
Of nice. rich straw berries for qwavter-only
six cents quart-chsapsr than he ever knew
them to be in the East-and then sets up .
churlish grumbls because they are not
"hullsd." Only think of I'll If they were
givss to him. he would dispute and haggls
about the measure, and deliver lecture TO the
donor about "hulls." He puts me in mind Of
the old lady who vas offered the gift Of .
bushsl Of corn meal, when she querulously in.
quirsd if it wss sitted! Supporting they do
hull stra wbsrries down East; don't they put
on the price for It Strawberries never cell
In Boston for lees than IS cents per qusrt
Two stars better 60 bsck East he 10 too rare
plant TO flourish 10 this coil has evidently
been 'hulled' too often for this locality. The
next We hear Of him he will require farmers
to dig the "eyes" out of the potatoes, and op.
crate on their beans before selling them.
