| TsE PsAx FAMLY.--It is unpleasant for
Us to make complaints, but in this instance
we cannot refrain from expressing our dis
pleasure It the performance Of the Bell
Ringers last evening. The change Of pro-
enmme, advertised for the occasion, was
simply no change at all, being merely repe.
ttion Of the performance OF the Previous
night, the whole rushed through in careless
and unsatisfactory manner. This troupe,
} heretofore, has been held in high esteem, by
The amusement going public of our city, snd
the manager can soon lose the good opinion Of
the people, here and elsewhere, If he fails TO
givs such perfosmauces ~ be advest;ses 10 do,
and which the public expect from troupe
making the professions which his does. The
Peak Family is capable Of doing better than
its performance Of last evening indicated.
TBRrE thousand acres Of grapes are under
cultivation in Erie and ottawa counties,
Ohio, including the islandS Of Lake Erie,
FROM which il is estimated that two hundred
thousand gallons Of wine we're produced tho
past year. Growers have established Z
standard of price at one mill per pound for
each degree Of specific gravity Of must The
average production of grapes on the islands
this year has been about one and . hall tons
per acre. The Kelley Island Wine Company
purchased the grapes from about 225 acres,
and have manufactured about 60, 600 gallons
of vine. Other parties have made at least
II, 900 gallons, being total Of il0,OO0 gal
Ions that is now stored on that island. Bass
Islaud it u estimated, had also in store as
O00 gallons in wine. Bass IsIand has sold
m ,rs fruit for table purposes, 10 proportion
to the ground in CIVILIZATIONS, than Kelley's
Island. Additional attention is being given
to the culture Of new varieties of grapes
This is occasioned by slight want Of conf
deuce in the CatAwbas. Among those being
most planted are Concords, Dehwares,
Hartfords, Rogers, Ives, Norton's virnia, ac.

THE Peoria Ttunscrfpt mentions The case
of Judge Bangs Of Lacon, who for some
time has been under medical treatment at
the Kenosha water cure, and says his dis
ease was caused by wearing paper collars,
into the composition Of which arsenic largely
| enters, and adds s.Such cases ara mach
moro common than sre generally sappo.ed.
The arsenic is used % give the high glo.sy
polish on what are known as "glazed" col.
lsrs. This polish the Precipitation Of the
skin of the neck dissolves, and the poison i,
absorbed, producing in some cases only an
unsighty bioteh, and in others frishtfal SWELL
ings and throat complaints. We know one
young man in town whose throat and vocal
organs were seriousl, affected from this cause.
The uasiassd collars are free from this
