The New White araps--Martha.

George w. Campbell, the well
known grape grower Of Delaware, Ohio
has been telling the readers of the
Ohio Farmer, for several weeks pest,
"You Want Martha" Now, to settle
the matter whether you want Martha
we have the pleasure of giving a por-
trait of the fruit, and description of
its style and qualities
The Martha, Is a white grape,
Seeding from the Concord, originated
several years since by Samuel Miller,
ESQ, at Lebanon, Pa. 1t has been
tested for some six or seven years in
various localities, and found to equal
the Concord in the health, hardness
and vigorous growth of the vine aud
It seems to adapt itself to All sails and
locations where It has been tried with
the same facility that ehafaeterizes its
parent.
IN foliage and general habit of growth
the vine is almost identical with the
Concord, With the difference that the
leaves. are a lighter shade of green,
and the young wood a dark brown.
On young vines, the bunches aud ber-
ries are smaller than Concorde; but
they have uniformly increased IN size
as th vines acquire age and strength.
Vines in their second bearing year,
the past season, gave punches four and
a half inches long, and berries full
-fourths of an inch in diameter.
It's color is a pale yelloWish green with
amber tint when exposed to the sun.
In favor and quality, it is of the Con
cord type, but much more refined and
delicate. 1t is very sweet and rich,
with a slight infusion Of vinous acid;
skin very thin, but tenacious; seeds
few and small; pulp slight and tender
with no unpleasant acidity next the
seeds. Hangs very firmly to ,he bunch
never dropping even when ever-ripe.-
Ohio Farmer.

Ohio Game Laws.

Tt has become so much the custom
for our legislators to change the law
for the protection of game at each sess.
ion Of their body, that spoTtsmen find
some difficulty In keeping posted IN
regard to the changes. As the law
now stands the provisions of the law
of 1867 are unchanged, except
that section was added last winter
making the exposure to sale out OF
season, Of any game protected hy law
prima flcie evidence that such game
was caught OF killed contrary 70 law;
At any lime between the 10 h day OF

The Latest Agony.

Dave Randolph has a photograph of
a woman in the latest agony. eve have
a notion to see the fool-killer, and get
him to make it the last agony.) A copy
of the tortured object lies before US. 1t
is the G4recian bend-the real kangaroo.
Imagine a smart little drOmedary
taught to walk on his hind legs in pet
ticoats. Humpty- umpty, pilly-wig-
wog!
And woman be thus? We fear we
have seen her thus. This is only a lit
tie thus-er than some live cases of her
that have lately come upon us.
Agony! She looks as if she had been
catching baseball, and had been struck
back handedly in the vitals (prOnoun-
ced victuals) with a bat, which had al
most shut her up like a jack-knife.
It is painful; but it cannot be helped,
probably. If anything could relieve
her (or relieve of her), perhaps it would
be q surgical operation on the BRAIN
Ideas are hardly ever successfully got
in by that method; but we think if we
were called in to such a case, we should
take the responsibility to operate, with
the understanding that we wers to have
no fee if the patient died.-Xe11iG Torch
