All parties seem to concur in the belielf that in tihe event of a general European war, breadstuffs and pro visions will advance in price, wvhile cotton wvill decline. Farmers who are now pitching their crops8 had as well pay some heed to this. It will be remembered that last sum mner flour rose suddenly in price when war was announced between Russia and Turkey. Its decline wvas due to the fact that tile war did .not become general. Had the an ticipations of war prophets been real,ized, it is fair to presume that the present low prices of provision.s would not obtain.

There Is a curious story nbout some native wines which are extensively ndvertised nowa days, and have only rcently beens put upon the market. Dr. U nderhillI, the well-known grape-grower of' Croton Point, died in 187r. Someof his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that thcy were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes beern sent to market, and sometimcs left to dccay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Amion g these isi a wino of the vintage of 586.4, describedCC as a " Sweet Union Port,'' but suggesting the Im periail Tokay more - than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wino of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkiable, and boith physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest inl It as the okh-'s: native wine nowv accessible in any con sidlerale quantity. The whole stock is In the hands of the wvell-known wholesale grocery house of the Trhurbers.-N, Y.Tn'oune, N'ov.1J9, I&/'7. The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this Is the pure juiee of the grape, neithcr drugged, //guored nor svatered: that It has been ripened and mellowved by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes It Is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application, Respectfully, etc., H.
