There is a curious story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill. the well-known gape-grower of Croton Point, died In 387r. Som e of h is heirs eatertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or arny more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to rnarket, and sometimes left to decay 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. Am ong these is a wine of the vintage of 1864,. deseribed as a "Sweet Union Port,' but suggesting the Trov,erial Trokay more than any other Europ..am wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a speciar interest in it as the oldest native wine now ncessible in any con iderable quantity. The whole stock Is In the hands of the welli-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Trious, Nov. , /7 The above speaks for itself, but we would add that this Is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liguormf nor watered' that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacrameistal 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.
