s'Push trade or it will push you" There is
r9robably no more enterprising house than that
of I,asyrence ID. Dictz s. Co., of Baltimore, i'm
porters AID dealers in English French and Ger
man notions and fancy goods. They have most
certainly pushed trade and their immense facil-

attention to their advertisement in this issue
iif Some fellow, whose Imagination outruns the
facts in the case thus tells what he would do:

We acknowledge the receipt of pamphlet
copy of the admirable address of Patrick Henry
.Aylett Esq, before the German societies at the
Centennial Anniversary of the world-renowned
Fred. Alex. Won Humboldt at the Richmond
Theatre, Sept. 9th, 1869. Whatever Aylett
touches he adorns, and it is sufficient to say that
the address is worthy of the subject it so perspi-
cuously and eoquently portrays.
LUSCIOUS GRAPEs.-We have been presented
by Mr.. W. w. Peace with basket of delicious
grapes The varieties are the DIANA Catawba
and Bland and were raised his place two
miles from Staunton. The climate and soil in
this county are admirably adapted to the culture
of this delicious fruit, and more attention should
be paid to it. Nothing would pay better, if prop
erly attended to- than the cultivation of grapes.
