T HAVE several other varieties of vines but
i the Iona, Concord, Delaware and Clinton are
the only varieties can at the present time rec.
ommend for this climate. The Iona and Delaware
are SURPASSED by NONE as table grape. The Con-
cord is good table or wine grape, very snowy and
hardy. The Clinton is the hardest of all; q fair
table grape and superior as a wine grape.
The quality of my vines is much above the stan
dard when compared with those sent here from,
the East; and are unequaled IN cheapness when
quality is considered. They are accliihated snd
can be taken perfectly fresh from my cellar when
ready to plant. Many good plants are spoiled BY
being too much exposed, either on the way or at
some express ONCE. Is IT not better to have them
perfectly fresh and ready to grow when you set
them!
am at the present time in want of CASH
WOOD and FENCE POSTS l will sell vines for
either OF the above articles. Every one who has
a home should have few vines in his garden. and
and raise his own choice grapes: then please al
low me to say that believe this is the best time
for most of You to contract for them for il is not
always you can pay In cord wood and fence posts.

.H,eac City Charter.


Our Madison correspondent anuoun-
ces the reception of the new charter of
the city of Prescott in the balls Of legis-
lation. 1t seems the style of HERO
glyphics in which it was rendered crea-
ted quite a sensation among the legisla-
tive clerks whose duty it is TO decipher
unintelligible manuscript. Mr.. P. v.
WISE prepared the document and every
body acquainted with his manner of
singing ink will perceive the force of
our correspondents statement 1t is not
our intention TO disparage Mr.. Wise or
make sport of bis penmanship, but in
our humble judgmen: the pen puzzles of
Rufus Choate and the 'inky way" of
Horace Greedy are models of chirograph-
ical skill compared with the quill dri-
wing of Mr.. WISE. We hope the legis-
lative emil " will be able to grind its
grist I" decentIy and in ORDER"

The ladies of the Calvary Church
have wrought for Notwithstanding
their combined skill. taste and ingenuity
upon an elegant carriage Afghan, aud
were pleased to observe their efforts
crowned with complete success. The diff.
ficult work lie finished. and an Afghan
of large size, beautiful in design and of
exquisite workmanship is the result of
their labor. To describe it is not in our
power, and the easiest way to avoid do
ing so, is to tell our readers the Afghan
is at Mrs. MARKLE's millinery store, and
if they call, perhaps they may see it for
themselves.
BY the way. the ladies intend to
give a festival in the church hall some
evening next week. Many articles, in
Guiding the afghan, will be disposed Of
the proceeds to go to the church. As the
Afghan is almost too expensive to meet
with a ready sale these hard times, it is
proposed to make it prize-sell tickets
at one dollar each-and dispose of it by
lottery, and-we'll tell the rest next week.

The Ayres-Giiyer Tragedy.

George S. Ayre was committed on the
23d, ult., by Justice Goodyear for the delib-
crate ard wiful murder Of Anthony r. Oil
yer on the 10th inst, and was afterwards bail
ed in the sum Of $25,G00 to appear
When Miss Ellen Ayre was introduced to
testify, the COURTROOM was thronged Her
evidence was given in amid the greatest ST.
lence. She was closely yelled, which pre-
vented the scrutiny Of the curious. Her
testimony was substantially as follows:
Il first became acquainted with DIR. Oliver
at the depot in Alexandria in June last. He
came to my fathers near Upperville, having
just returned from England. On the Mon
day before My father left for Charlottesville,
| communicated to him that I was likely to
become mother do not recoloct whether
[ then told him that DR.. Oliver was the au-
thor OF my present condition; because
knew that DR. Brown, our family physician
had already told him. had taken mediciae
from DR. Oliver four times on different occa-
sions the first time was early in July, BE-
fore any improper intimacy existed between
us, but it is positively certain that he was the
man who committed the act. No member OF
my family knew of my condition. DR.. Oil
ver's visit to my fathers house was caused
by the two children Of Mr.. Hall, onr over
seer, whom he had in charge from England"
MS Ayre then left Courtroom accom-
panied by her brother, and after an agree
iaent between counsel on the subject Of bail,
the trial ended. Eight gentlemen, represent
ing nearly two millions OF property, went on
his bond, and the result Of the examination
gives general satisfaction.

NEGRO EMIGRATION TO THE SoUTH-
The demand for negro labor in the far South
is said to be increasing ia Virginia. High
wages and great inducements are offered both
upon the plantations and railroads Virginia
used to suppl y the Southern planting States
with good deal Of labor. and the same pro-
cess bids fair to be carried on hereafter on
more extended scale. It is not impossible
that the mass Of the colored race in all the
border States will ultimately tend to the ex-
treme South and Southwest, where their pc
cul;ar labor suits the cultivation, and the eli
mate and surroundings are more agreeable to
them than moro vigorous ATTITUDES. 1t is the
