Grape Culture.

The town of Portland on Lake Erie
is six miles square, and according to
Grape Belt, published at Dunkirk on
Lake Eric. more grapes are grown
in it's northern part than in any equal
area of land in the world. Not merely
vineyards are here to be seen, butt
entire farms planted with vines, and
now loaded with their luscious fruit.
Messrs. Dean have a model vineyard,
embracing 100 acres all producing
grapes. The town last year shipped
1000 cars of grapes. The private res
licences Of these grape-growing farm
ers show that the business is a paying
one though prices the last year or two
have been too low to give the profits
that were formerly obtained. A great
many Of the grapes grown are Con-
cords, though where the Worden,
which is an earlier and better grape, is
substituted it is often sold as Concord.

Whenever horse is sold the harness
In which 1t has been used to working
ought always to go with the bargain.
No two harnesses were ever made to
fit alike, and especially where the
pressure comes on the shoulder or
neck In drawing. The skin under the
old harness has been gradually tough
ened by pressure on one spot. But
with the new harness the pressure is
shifted. 1t may be only an inch or two,
but it comes where the skin is tender
and will quickly break when exposed
to the collar. II the whole harness
cannot go, be at least sure to secure
the collar with any new horse pur-
chased, So that the animal can work
without belng tortured. The collar
once used for one horse ought never to
be used for another.

John Maher died at the home
OF his nephew, Daniel Maher, near
Hubbleton, on Friday evening. The
deceased was S5 years of age, and
lived in this city and vicinity for
many years. The funeral services
were held at ST. Bernard's church
Monday morning, and the remains
were laid at rest in the Catholic Gem
etery.
The death of Mrs. Frederick Schram

At the County Seat.

VIM. H. Rohr, the new deputy
clerk of the circuit court at Jefferson,
was in official harness during the pres
ent term He attended to the duties of
the position like an old wheel horse,
and filled the chair at the clerks desk
as if it had been especially made for
him,
Alex Joda, the turnkey, is right at
hor1o in his new position. and attends
to his duties with precision that gives
proof of former experience.
Sheriff Jaehnke is modest and un-
assuming, and what he does do has
the merit of being well done. He
obeys the mandates of the court with
alacrity, and puts on no more airs
than when he was an ordinary citizen
of Johnson Creek He will undoubt-
edly make a popular and pains taking
sheriff.
Under-sheriff Bullwinkel is clean
cut, trim-buil young man, the sort of
a fellow evil-doers will endeavor to
steer clear of. He is trihe austere
in manner, but those who know him
best say he is as kind and gentle
as school girl.
Probably the hardest worked man
on the sheriff's force is that old famil-
lar figure, Nate Bullock. When
court is in session he can always be
found Just to the left after you enter
the court room. He is constantly
kept busy attending to the hundreds
who are continually passing in and
out, but if Mates right arm doesn't
give out, and the authorities will only
see that his chair is provided with a
good soft cushion, he thinks he can
hold the fort for term or two.
Mates friends will watch his career
with much solicitude.
Circuit Court Clerk Tanck was
also there attending the first term OF
court since his re-inauguration. 1t was
plainly to be seen that he is no no.
vice, and things run along under his
guiding hand without ripple.
District Attorney Rogers is quite a
young man to be entrusted with so
important an office, but he is full of
push and energy, and it will not be
his fault if the county's interests are
not we'll looked after.
The county clerks Office has never
been celebrated for handsome men,
but the present incumbent is un-
doubtedly the Adonis of the county
administration. We caught a glimpse
of him Just after he had been excused
from jury service, and fully endorse
the Judgment of the ladies, who pro-
| nounce him the handsomest man at
the county seat. But notwithstand-
ing all that, Mr.. Haberman is re-
ported as very attentive to his duties,
and gives promise of making an ex-
cellent official.
Probate Judge Grimm came up aud
sat among the attorneys during the
recess of the court. His department
is in perfect order, and the business
of the court is dispatched without un-
necessary delay. He wears his age
unusually well, and judicial honors
do not seem to mar his happy disposi-
ton.
Janitor Schmidt is courteous and
obliging servant of the county. The
court house and surroundings are
models of neatness and cleanliness
and it does look as if John has 6
