has. been made to open quarry in the excel

The Company have an artesian well IS the
result of their labors. A small quantity Of
the water has been sent to DR.. White, State

report yet Several persons with chronic
diseases have used the waters, incidentally,
and their report is favorable as to their cura-

How TO BECOME CoNTENrED WITH
ONES Own HoME.-A wealthy man of
Boston, who owIs country residence in
the suburbs of that city, recently became
dissatisfied with it, determined to have an
other, and instructed an auctioneer famous
for his descriptive powers to advertise it
in the papers at private sale, but to con-
ceal the location, telling purchasers to APP
ply at his office. In few days the gen.
tleman happened upon the advertisement.
was pleased with the account of the place,
showed it TO his wife, and the two conclud-
ed it was just what they wanted and that
they would secure it at once. So he went
to the office of the auctioneer and told him
that the place he had advertised was such
an one as he desired and he would purchase
it. The auctioneer burst into laugh and
told him that that was the description of
his own house where he was then living.
He read the advertisement again, ponder
ed over the GRASSY Slopes" beautiful
vistas," smooth lawn" etc, and broke
out, as it possible Well, auc,ioneer,

SUMNER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, which
have been permitted to set all their fruit
freely and to grow without care, may be
now gone over, and the error of neglect
in measure remedied. If three punches
have got on cane, pinch that cane back
to three Or four leaves from the last bunch !;
then act your good common sense judg-
ment as to which of the three punches
promises the least results, and with your
vine scissors cut it away. Stop the late
rails now, except upon the canes you de-
sign for next years fruiting, by pinching
them off as far back as can be done by the
nails of your thumb and finger meeting
don't break and tear them away, or use a
knife,bu the tender, immature wood which
your thumb and finger will remove by
pinching will prove benefit to the vine,
while cutting and slashing will create in
jury. If you want really nice punches,
and even, wellmatured fruit for your own
table or market, we believe you will gain
even on large scale by now thinning out
the small and surplus berries On each bunch
by means of vine scissors. In small
grounds there is no doubt of the value of
this practice for the table, and we incline
to belief that the same practice will pay
in market by the extra price obtained for
the grapes.-Horticultu,1a.
