As a" * cultivator of the grape, I thank you for c|' .ho great interest you have always taken in 1' this new branch of American agiiculture; ur tnd particularly for the opportunity you '1C now give me for refuting a most erroneous tin itateiucnt, which lately appeared under the iditorial head in the Vivvay (Ind.) News, to to ,he effect that "the Cincinnati Horticultural Society had it under consideration to de til . lare grape culture in the United Stale# a l'' ailure," that "the business would prove ru nous to those who attempted it," and that at 'the only way Mr. Longworth made it re te' nunorative was by the adulteration of his ?h urines," Ac. I am happy to say to you that iin hero is no truth in either of these slate en nenls. Put of thein the editor has since c? etraded, and nnri bus linon (>onimrnH<..i A >y one of liis neighbors, a grape grower in c'' hat vicinity, who says that fifteen new vine- ',fl [ trds have been laid out near thai town, in J that the culture of the vine lias leceiv- m ai a new impetus. The first attempts were na<le on the rich Irottom lands nf the river, lo ind necessarily failed. The hills nio now Ml elected in preference, and with promise of e" lomplele success. co That this crop is subject to lite casual- cy ies of other fruit crops cannot be denied, "" iut experience has pioved that it is about l,e is reliable as the apple, which is our liar liest fiuit. The average yield for a soiics CO{ if years, iu fair localities, and with corn iron attention, is at least 200 gallons to the Wl icre. In good positions, and with extra >:n ultnre, 300 gallons. One hundred gallons 101 >er acre will more than pay the co*t of citl wt ivation, and leave something for profit. ?I' 'or the last two ycais the crop has been \ 11,1 liort in this vicinity, but in Missouri and 1 ,>Vt ieorgia it is very good this year.

To my certain ktio*ledge, the grapo is uitivated for making wine, in 18 States of a" he Union, and is rapidly on the increase, specially in the West and South west. The c" ale of giapo vine cuttings iu Cincinnati 'tM1 lone was over a million and a half, and of outs 300,000, last year; and about the same lie year ptevious. This does not look like *IC lilure.

IIearon. jy An old woman who lived near the frontier during the last war with Gicat Britain, ne and possessed a marvellous propensity to m learn the news, used frequently to make a- inquiries of soldiers. On one occasion she of called to oneof those dcfendeis of our tights, o whom she had frequently saluted before: lit "What's the news!" b "Why, good woman," said he, "the Inin dians have fixed a crowbar under Lake Eiie, _>k and are going to turn it over aud drown r the world!" ;r- "Oh, mercy, what shall I do?" and away rt. she ran to tell the neighbors of the danger, n- and inquire of her minister how such a crIic lainity might be averted. d, "Why," said he, "you need not be alarmo ed ? we have our Maker's promise that he ue will nut again destroy the world by wa c.- ter." id "I know that," loluriied the old lady has ? tilt, "hut he's nothing to do with it. it's lie those plaguy Indians." to A good conscience is la tter than two wit K. n?*s-e-; it will eon-nine your gtief as the sun as dissolves ice.
