Church, will assemble IN Port Clinton, on
Wednesday, the 3Ist day Of July
Last Sabbath we were observing some
Gatawha vines, and, much TO our surprise
found them TO be 10 what we should call
critical condition, no doubt owing to the
extreme dryness, which we have not had the
equalOf' IN many years. Several beautiful
bnnches Of fruit attracted our attention from
the different appearance Of the berries, and,
on passing them through the fingers, more
than half of them dropped off. We then
lightly shook seyerl vines, when the grapes
ratified down in profus;ou. This, no doubt,
is occasioDed bya lack of msisture ~ the
soil.
