STOP 1MPoRrArIoNs.--Movem are now
on foot in the loyal States, to stop importa-
ton of silks, jewelry &c. Why not include
wines and liquors? Are our patriotic ladies'
aware tat more gold is paid to 3 urope for
these articles than there is paid for silks and
satins, and these articles, too, CAN be replaced

called in a house on River street not long ago,
and in the wine cellar we tasted of strawberry,
Blackberry, cherry, and other wines, which to
us tasted far ahead Of the imported ports, sher-
ries, &c.
In the June number Of Harper's Monthly
may be found highly interesting treatise up
on wine making. "The production of wine,'
says the writer, sis the most important branch
of agricultural industry on earth; at all events
there are only to be compared with it, the cul-
ture of'ice, which forms the staple food of
nearly One-third ofthe human race

ducing little more than three thousand mil
lion gallons year; which, estimating the av-
erage value at place of production, is worth.

ct dollars, in gold. . s. \ ~ -
have or the past Three Years been a&hEe e.
tensive preparations for the mar ufacture of
home made wines. They have the most ex.
tensive arrangements with fruit growers, and
in the proper season they gather strawberries,
cherries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries,
&C., &C., to an enormous amount. Their wines
far excel many of the imported wines, both in
purity and exhilrating effects. Many of these
home made wines are being largely adultcra-
ted. Buy none but those with the unmistaka-
BILE label Of Bennett, Peters e. Co. These
gentlemen are men ofhigh responsibility, and
