VINEYARD POINT, Ulster Co., N. W
MAY 10 1853

MeasTs. Ferris & CuRlgOOd.
DEAR SIRs: Yours Of the 18th 1 am In RECENT of
n which you ask II 1 have any objections TO sending
you, for publication, the facts j am acquainted with
In relation TO the character of the Udlter Grape- /
have never Endorsed the character or usefulness Of
vines, or other articles Ofany description. and wOuid
not at my present stage OF life were it not for two
reasons which seem sufficient. First. I know the
Waller Grape viii meet the prejudices widespread
throughout the country, caused by the WOFthlessness
In most localities Of many Of its predecessors. Sec
ond, because l can say rom personal observation
that the Waller Is the best variety / have had any
knowledge of, and / think have cultivated nearIT
all that have been recommended, discarding them
all and falling back upon the Concord and Hartford
Prolific as vineyard varieties. / am interested in
knowing that the fruit OF the BOlteF grows larger
each year as the vine grows older, being last wear
fully One-third larger than IL was two years ago. II
grows well: sets fruit we'll ] have seen il riDe sew
eral times before Hartford, and 1 have never seen
any mldeW on its fruit or on its large and thick. but
Delaware shaped foliage. The flavor OF the mutt I
think superior 70 any other variety. You saw in
your circular IL Is a seeding Of the Delaware and
Diana; j think the character of each of these yarie-
ties Is quite distinguishable in the Walter. particu-
larly that of the Delaware. I alSd think II would
make a wine Of high character. / have visited il
annually since il first bore. six years ago. three times
in Ulster Co, n. Y, I'D a low valley, where the Isa-
bella seldom ripenS, and each time il WAS fully riDe
sons in POughkeepsie, Tipening at the same time,
excepting last year. when the constant rains pre-
vented all varieties from maturing at their usual
time, but IL perfected its fruit BY the middle Of Sep
have seen and eaten, which were good. From Its
succeeding in the low valley and tenacious clay of
MOdena, and also in the dry slatey position In
~POughkeepsie, / think il will be well adapted to the
varied sections Of our country. You may make
whatever use Ofthese opinions you deem proper.
Yours truly, WOOLEY.

THE people Of our city have been
unable to understand why nearly all
the streets Of the city should be rem
dered dangerous By trenches for
water pipes at the same time. We
have been repeatedly asked why twas
the trenches were dug so long in ad-
vance of the arrival Of the pipe.
Such a trench has been open on
Oak Street for over two weeks. and
other streets have been similarly
blessed. It has been a matter of great
surprise to Us that numerous acci-
dents have not resulted from them, for
which the city could be made to suffer
heavily in damages. It will be re-
membered that the Water Works
contract releases the contractors from
all responsibility for accidents, and
the city must be the only sufferer.
We learn that DIR. John Seantlin,
on Tuesday evening, fell into one of
these pits and broke his collar bone,
so that he will be laid up for some
time. Other accidents Of q like char
aeter, will no doubt, be recorded be-
fore the Winter is over. The city
authorities may look out for squalls.
