Grape Culture I in
Cincinnati. September 7th, 1857.? 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. So it is j ' >'
villi most crops, varying with the sea^uii^ I V01
() different sections of the country.
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. The charge that Mr. Longworth ,
billet ate* his w ine is too preposterous to K '
e believed hero or elsewhere. It is not bis l>;"
iteresi to do so, and certainly not bis in- l'K
lination. No man lias been more parlicu '
ir lo keep bis wine peifectlv pure than
fr. L. It was bis pride and his bobby to 1
itroduce puio native wines to the Amori- *lit

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

id "I know that," loluriied the old lady has ?
