How 70 pouble Our List.

If every subscriber to the Gazette
q lwould furnish one name besides his
own, our list would be doubled with
little effort and expense. Let every
reader Of the Guzette consider this ar
ticlo addressed to him personally, and
then set to work to furnish a subscri-
Der each. If the Gazette list was
doubled, a thousand more votes might
be secured to the Union cause. 1t is
to the interest Of every friend of the

only loyal paper in the county, and to
help him pay for it if he is himself
unable.

VALUE OF OLD SHERRY WINE.

g In no other part Of Spain is there mad any
white wine at all comparable in flavor witt that
made within small distance aorund Yerez ge la
Frontera respecting which it may be furthcr stated
that no other wine improves by age in an equal de-
gree respecting which it may be further stated that
no other wine improyesby age In an equal degree !;
so well established is this fact among the great wine
exporters Of St. Marys and San Lucar, that scarcely
any price would induce them to sell their MacEres
BotaS (mother buts that have arrived at more than
thirty years of age and some affirm that they have
some as old as sixty years certaiu--and probably
containing some wine double that age, having been
filled up from quintage; estimated value such
Maotres B0tas have had a price set on them equal
to S5OOO per butt of l30 gallons or about seventy
five cents per wine glassfuI; we once had an opp5r
tunity of tasting some, quarter butt of which was
invoiced at 81 O00, and cost the owner when bottled

A Yankee, from the Green Mountains, visited the

"Certainy he will 4"
The yankee thrust his hands into his pockets al
most up to his elbows, and walked back.
