Munsch has thousands Of hardy
vines, mostly of the Concord and
Herbemont varieties, which appear
to be the best adapted to our soil

the wine cellar. where we found a
number of barrels of white and red
wine, which we sampled several

that it was all of the best quality.

The "Bosebuds" favored MS with
serenade las: Tuesday night. This
is new band, and they always;
have new strings Ito their beaus. ,
1t is not an "angel band" but the
next thing to it, a band of yonns
ladies. And when we awoke we
realized that they were favorins us
with some of the most perfectly iu-
harmonious discords that ever
soothed a Savage beast" When
we had everything ready. and were
about to invite them to take some
thing" they took themselves away,
amid shouts of laughter, and it was
then we discovered they were young
ladies. We hope the ''Rosebuds"
will improve with practice, but
warn them that "our pard." yields
bad broomstick, when she thinks
the occasion requires it-not on
us. however-and that was one of
those occasions. Come again, for
our sake, but leave the gate wide
open, and fasten it on the outside
when you get ont.
