BSSEE WINE.

A. prominent citizen Of Cincin-
natl, who was in this city a few
days since visited the vine cellar
Of ARSeretin on Market street,
for the purpose Of ascertaining if
the reputation Of the Tennessee
grapes for, wine, making was really
deserved. He was Shown Thirteen
different varieties of fruits grown
on ,tlfS s6frSiindin fidSes.S After
n careful inspection and trial, he
pronounced some of those shown
him the best native wines in the
country; and-fully equal to those
OF any country. He further testi-
fed his appreciation bypurchasing

should he borne in mind that it is
bad policy for any farmer to keep
more animals than he can feed,
shelter and properly care for; and
all should be discarded giving no
promise. of improving or paying
well Tor care and pfeeding; and es-
pecially should all such as disturb
the other animals be disposed of
right of. No surplusage of males
should be allowed to annoy you and
your nelghbors, and especially
none ofmterior grades; nor should
you keep a. number Q fhorses, suit
ed nor used for any particular ser
vice, growing older each year and

TO SUBORDINATE ORANGES.

We find many oranges failed to
elect their officers at the December
meeting. Tie usage had obtained
that the Master Of the State
Grange might, on application,
grant Especial dispensation for the
election to be held at any time
thereaitef,' sitting the grange.
We gave public notice to that
effect, and following that notice we
have had several applications, and
have granted the privilege or given
our dispensation for the election to
be held.
We now have an official ruling
from the w. NJ. OF the National
Grange, J. T. Jones, relieving us
of much labor on that subject, and
also relieving oranges that failed
to hold elections in December, of
the delay attending making the APP
plication for a dispensation. He
rules "a dispensation for this pur-
pose is not required" He says,
under the constitution Of the
National Grange subordinate
oranges may hold thcirr elections
at the regular meeting in December
or as soon thereafter as practicable.
.. gr 4
Therefore, those that have held
their election since the time of the
regular meeting in December, or
those that may hereafter hold
them, will be recognized as legal
elections. e,a .aa,s.I. as
This is sent through the papers
as authority to any and all subor-
dinate oranges in the State that
have not held their elections for
officers for the present year, to
hold their elections at such time as
may suit the grange, and the same
will be recognized as legal.

THE POPULAR ScIRXcE MONTY was start
ed to promote the diffusion OF valuable sci

piled by no other periodical in the United

The great feature of the magazine is
that its contents are act what science WGs

popular articles, covering the whole range
of NATURAL SCIENCE, we have the latest
thoughts and words of Herbert Spencer,
and Professors Huxley, Tyndall, aud r. A.
