New York, the culture of the grape
and the manufacture of wine have at
tanned a development not elsewhere
reached in America. There is a be-

the annual product averaging about
$50 per acre, or nearly 100000. The
Pleasant Valley company consumes
annually 1900 tons of grapes, from
which are made 100000 bottles of
champagne and 100000 gallons of still

brandies and a port made from choicei

In 1870 the Huguenot element formed

About the year 1900 clocks, which
which had been too expensive to be

the best wines where brought from

SHOOT THEN DOWN.


Arm ZOE Extra Men and Let Them
Fire Upon the Thieves.
There are many beings in this city who
have sunk to such a state of moral degra-
dation that they will steal from men suf-
fering even as our drowned-out citizens
are. Several cases were reported from diff
ferent sections yesterday, and public in
dignation was reused to the highest pitch.
The trouble is that not enough special po'
lice were appointed. There was difficulty
in getting good men, but certainly they
could have been procured. On the
Island, various unknown men, in
skifs, were pulling about all
night on unknown missions, and were
suspected of robbery. The SIX extra men
on duty there were helpers. There should
have been four times that number. A
good suggestion has been made, for to-
night, as the danger will still exist: Let
one hundred extra men be appointed and
armed with muskets from the State House;
let them have instructions TO shoot down
any msrsuding thieves found plundering
the defenceless buildings. This would not
only prevent future plunderings, but would
act like charm ip the way OF warning.
Let il be done.
