I rlgRMs OF: ADYERTIsINa:
, A Vineyard onleYery Farm:

some;day.in the future the art and practice
Of wine making will be as: familiar and uni !
yefsal among US as;ths manufacture Of cideris
now.-A4AAud the jjuice-ot the grape properly
prepared, is greatly superior to that Of the
apple 10 strength and heslshgiying elements!
It is an easyamatter for l. the majority OF
farmers, to proyide5ample supplies of wines fol
their household use at a. comparative trifing
cost; A half acre in each hundred ofcnltiva;
ted land, set with vines of hardy varieties1
would be sufficient, if well cared for, to turnI
ish both fruit and wine for the number Of peo!
pie occupying, on the average that area!
Doubtless there are limited regions in our
country where, grapes would not succeed
but the area is vast where they would
thrive to sufficient degree to make. the growing
of them Tor family use satisfactory! although
it might be far from profitable ! to. raise them
tor MARKET In any neighborhood or locality
where solitary vine does well, it's certain
that enough others will thrivs;-to= supply the
wants of the population. By such universal
planting only can We. hope to see the rural
population of our land supplied with fruit and
wioe, for the products, of the favored grape
regions, where the culture is carried on extern
siVely, will be mostly absorbed by cities. s-s.
Let every farmer have his vineyard, as well
as his orchard, not planted with q yiewlo sell
ing its products, but to consuming them in his
own family. tits pretty safe to assert that
where apple trees will flourish some varieties
of grapes will do tolerabIy we'll alongside Of
them. The manufacture of vine for home use
should be conducted almost precisely like that
of cider. Have the fruit ripe and clean; mash
it and press Iout.the juice with care. Let it
terment:a few days like good cider, then rack
it, cleanse the: casks and refill them. Bung tight
and rack again early in the spring and the third
time on the approach Of hot weather. Have
sound, sweet casks, keep, them full, and store
in clean, ,coolceliar, and your beverage will
excelin grateful flavor and healthiul exhilarat+
log effects, when the hard labor and hot suns
Of summer tempt its trial. It is as easy apd
I Yield Of wine would probably average @ four hun
dred gallons per acre from we'll cultivated vine
yards Of strong hardy varieties like the Concord,
ives and Clinton.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-A warrant was ISSUED


A SINGULAR Casa warrant was issued
yesterday for; the arrest of a woman named
Phebe Blair, charged with assault with intent
to kill. The only grounds on which the charge
is attempted to be sustained are that the woi
man claims to have power to exercise all ills
and perform miracles. Among certain class
otthe populationahe slooked upon as sort of
demon. They fear her as they do the pesti1
lenee. Some time since she fell out with o
family named Herten, and denounced dire woe
upon their heads. As they live in the same
building, opportunities Of meeting are very fre--
quent. For week past she has been prepari
ing liquid substance which she told the tam!
lily had IN it the power of life anddeath, and that
she meant to work on them terrible retribuI
ton with it. Incredible as it may seem, the
foolish dupes believed it and watched the old
woman complete her decoction with sentiments
Of the most poignant dread. A day or two
since she got through with the liquor, and yes
terday rubbed the doorstep of the house with
the preparation, saying at the same time that
in one week they would all be dead. Wild
with terror the whole family fled the house as
from pestilence. They have not been back
since but yesterday procured q. warrant for
the old woman 9 arrest. The case will proba-
bly, be tried to.day.-M- O. &Rseayune.E
