the most Important and most extensively

few amateur cultiyators. The CULTURE of
the Grape is now beginning 70 receive
considerable degree Of attention in Ohio

ful as to stimulate enterprise in this direc-
tioR, and vineyards are now being plGoted
throughout the county AZ fast ss vines can
be PrOpaRated or procured for that pur.
pose. The profits OF the culture are sure
and remuneratiYe, and the time 10 not far
distant when the culture of the vine will
become one OF the most important inter-
este of Ohio county. The following facts,
obtained from Mr.. FrauSheim, an inteIli.
gent German genIleman OF Wheeling who
is Intimately acquainted with the vine cul-
ture of Europe, and has paid much atten.
tion to the incipient efforts for its estab-
lishment In this region, will give some
idea of the present state aud future proS-
pects Of this interest:- ..s...-.. Ig..-
lst. The soil and climate or the VAlley of
the Ohio, aud especially of this locality
sre admirably adapted to the cultivation |
Of the vine In the greatest .periec ton, and |
the Ohio river is destined to become the |
Rhine Of America s,.s .u.rfape
2ud. Our native vines are entirely hardy |
in this locality and produces q wine much |
superior 70 the common Rhine wines Of |
Germany. though Inferior TO the fiaer |
Wines of Europe. AS the CataWba and Is |
Abella grapes are the only varieties as yet |
cultivated for the production of wine, Mr.. |
r. suppose that new varieties will ulti-
mately be produced which will yield q |
wine equal to the fiueSlof the old continent. |
The Delaware grape, 90 far as yet tried,
promises to produce wine Of superior |
quality. ..as.-

of the city of Wheeling has Increased 100 |
per centum within the last two years.

for 1868 was so, 900 gallons realiEiuR TO |
the growers aboat SAC, 900.
9th. The produce to the acre is between |
30s and 400 gallons.
These facts will be sufficient 70 show,
that this branch of industry and enterprise,
