There is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively adv crtscd nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill. the wcll-known
grape-growcr Of Croton Point, died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand 10 be sold Or any more 10 be made
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, alHl sometimes left tn decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that The other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for Il settlement
of the estate and the sale of tic wines Oh
hand. Among these Is n wine cf the vintage
of 1864. described as q "Swcct Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any o.hcr European winc, ard being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purity, age and r,cllowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and vine
fancicrs have special interest in it as the
oldcss native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable: quantity. The whole stockis in the
hands Of the wc!l-known wholesale grocery
house OF the Thurbcrs.--W. Y. 7i1dMus,
