merit to interest all persons who are S
fond of good music, but there is anoth- C

CAPT. A. SCOUT left at our Office yes
terday bunch each of the Monroe,
Early Dawn and Vergenness grapes that
were still in q good state of preserva-

were guaranteed to keep only till the
last of March, but have gone considera-
bly, beyond. They were simply wrapt
in paper and laid away in box in the
cellar.
