ROGERS HYBRIDs, Nos. A, 9, Is, 10 and
~, (Salem ).-These grapes are now at
tracing much attention, especially
among market frui.-growers. The show
OF these fruits, at Mr.. Knox's and else
where the past Fall, was remarkably
fine, and the quality of the several va
rieties of the class is found to be such
as to please the taste as well as the eye
of most people, while the growth of the
vines and their productiveness are such
as to give promise of much value al
market varieties. l have confidence
that all of these will succeed well on the
Ohio river hills-and they should bt
freely planted. Some of Mr.. Rogers
other numbers are also very good, but
not so well tested, and the vines are
scarce.
CREvELING.-This is a good early
grape, especially for home use, but the
bunches are not regular and handsome
enough for coed market variety. II
succeeds better with Mr.. Knox than
anywhere else that l have seen.
IsRAELLA is another early black
grape, worthy of trial, and good mar.
ket variety where it will succeed.
EUMELAN is still newer and finer, but
not yet sufficiently tested, and the
plants are quite dear.
Iona is a special favorite with me,
and succeeds finely along our lake shore,
where it promises to take the lead both
as table and wine grape; but quite q
number of experiments that have been
made with it elsewhere have not been
satisfactory. | should try it in differ
ent locations, and if it docs we'll push
it freely, it will be sure to pay.
DELAWARE is another of the fine
grapes, but rather too fastidious about
soil and climate. 1t succeeds finely
along the lake shere, but should be
planted cautiously elsewhere. 1t has
done well some seasons at Pittsburgh,
and also at Cincinnati, and other places
in southern aud central Ohio.
HARTFORD PROLIFIC is of the Concord
class, but earlier, and quite profitable to
send to market before tie Concord is
ripe. 1t is not a very good grape, and
the fruit is liable to fall from the stems
when handled.
IVES belongs to the same class
not good enough for table grape, but
very productive and quite popular at
Cincinnati for wine. The vines of this
class are very hardy, healthy and pro,
ductive-will thrive everywhere.
The foregoing embrace all the most
promising and valuable grapes that
should recommend for trial or extensive
planting, both for market and for wine

A Dispute Renewed.
TSt. Louis Times Jan. 81. 1869. J

The Wentzville Ne,rS has re-opened
the controversy regarding the author
shin of the poem, "Once l Was Pure,
bv the following statement: at was
written in the fall of 1859, by young
gentleman of st. Louis, who was lying
sick in boarding house on Pine street
at the time, and wrote the piece fol
amusement. 1t was headed Once / Was
Pure as the Beautiful Snow and after
his recovery the lady of the house
discovered the manuscript and sent
it to the Erening Ners for pub
lication, where it first appear
ed in print. We could give the
authors name if he was willing that II
should 90 before the public"
We happen to know something about
this poem and its author, the late
Henry w. Faxon. The poem has been
familiar to us for fully fifteen years. Ii
was written by Mr.. Faxon, while he
was a telegraph operator ut Troy, New
York, and published in one of the city
papers there, to which he contributed
occasional verses, over nom de guerrc.
This was in '52. A couple ofyears later
he was the local editor of the Buffalo
RepubIiC, and reproduced the poem
over his own name. There was
never any question as to its authorship
until fraIl actress claimed it as her
own. and the circumstances of her life
gave coloring of probability to the as
sumption, as it vividly told her own
story. She has since confessed to a
brother of the real author that she DID
not write it. A dozen or more people
have set up pretensions TO being It's
author. The last one is the st. Louis
invalid, who don't want his name
known-a. very proper precautlon To
prevent the imposture disgracing him
Any person who couldlw write so exquisite
a poem would have written something
else of merit, which would be corrSbo
rative evidence of the validity of his
claim. But, as in the instance of Mr.
Ball, of New Jersey, who pretended to
have written, "Rock Me to Sleep
Mother" or, of the clergyman's young
daughter who,insisted that Nothing
to Wear" was her production, none Of
these parties who have attempted tC
father the poem in question ever wrote
bit of verse that could give a color tc
their assumption.
Henry w. Faxon wrote enough good
poetry to fill volume, much of i,
almost, if not quite, equal to the one il
controversy, and many in a similar
vein. As in the case of Thomas Hood
he was externally humorist and wag
but had a deep vein of tender feeling
which he could express most pathetical
" in verse. Many of the late author
friends, we'll acquainted with thes,
facts, living at Buffalo, New York, ant
elsewhere, have testified publicly tha
they knew that Mr.. Faxon was th'
author of "Oace l was Pure," and it il
time that sick young men and other pre-
tenders to its authorship should cease
trying to gain Immortality by tilch
ing the productions of other people,
