The Grape Culture in Ohio.
Til7. WINE CELLARS AT CINCINNATI.
A recent visitor nt ('incinnati, pives ns the fol
low inj* a count of tlie wine cellars and wine
business at and in tlie neighborhood of that
city. We have on several occasions publish
ed interesting facts relating to the grape
growing and the wine business cf Ohio ; but
we are sure we shall add to pievious accounts,
by printing annexed information :
The wine houses of Cincinnati ,nre among the
most interesting enriosties of that city. We
have visited two of them. The establishment
of Longworth and Zimmerman is the most ex
tensive"; but tlint of Zimmerman and Brothers
being latest constructed, has many improve
mcnts. In those places, deep vaults are con
structed, from twenty to thirty feet beneath
the surface of the ground. These are kept at
a cool, uniform temperature, during the entire
year. The new wine is first stored in huge
butts, capable of holding from two to five
thousand gallons. There it stands, ferments,
and is allowed to settle during a period of se
veral months. When it is fit for bottling it is
racked oir, the bottles being filled and corked by
machinery. Tiiey are then stored away in the
vast cellars, where they remain for some months
until ready for nse. The still wine does not
require as much management as the sparkling
variety, which is more perfectly clarified, and
by means of pure rook candy it is sweetened
and the sparkle which distinguishes it is se
cured. The bottles of sparkling wine are, af
ter being filled, placed with the necks down
ward. Sediment gradually deposits itself near
t lie cork. Skiiifu! workmen then unclose these
bottles, holding them neck downward, and al
low enough of the wine to escape to carry off
i lie deposit. This process is repeated until the
wine is thoroughly clarified and fit for use. —
While it is ripening it is important to
keep the temperature low. An increase of
half a degree in heat will cause the bottles to
explode, and sometimes hundreds, even thou
sands of bottles are thus wasted, the destruc
tion sweeping far and wide through the cel
lars, and it is only conquered by the applica
tion of ice, to bring down the average tempe
rature. These losses are common to all wines
of a character similar to champagne, and they
have ranch influence in increasing the cost.
The descent into the wine vaults is like that
into the caves of Tartarus. With candles fix
ed npon the ends of shingles, the guides and
visiters explore the mysteries of these dark
and silent regions. The gloom is profound,
nnd is scarce lighted by the glimmer of their
candles ; the visiters pass on amid stacks of
bottles, piled crossways, and resting in mounds.
Miidcw. damp and moisture enshroud them,
and there is but little promise of the good
cheer within. Wine drinkers are rarely in
temperate ; it is your guzzler of brandy, whis
key, rum or gin, who rapidly, unless prudence
restrains him, becomes a drunkard. Mankind
have always had a taste fur stimulants, whe
ther in savage or civilized countries. This
weakness, implanted in us by nature, is not to
be eradicated by statutes, which make crimes
of indulgence toward which constitutional pre
dilections urge us. It is the part of wisdom,
therefore, in endeavoring to regulate the weak
nesses of men. The encouragement of the
grape culture and of the wine manufacture is
a great measure of social reform which will
ensure health and happiness to all who are re
lieved from the temptation of using the pro
duce of the still. The facilities for raising the
grape are so many in this country, and the ad
vantages to all by rendering wino a common
drink, are so much to be desired, that it is a
subject for fervent hope that ere many years,
vineyards will gladden the face of this vast
continent, and that wine will be as excellent,
ns pure, and as cheap, as it is upon the con
tinent of Enrope. If this great benefit shall
be secured us, let it not be forgotten that
among the benefactors of his country, to whose
energy, enterprise and courage great credit is
due, should be proudly eurollcd the name of
Nicholas Longworth.
GOOSEBERRY MILDEW. —Itis well known that
mildew is so destructive to gooseberries in this
country, that hut few of the large and choice
kinds ever perfect much of their fruit, and as a
consequence of one of the nicest of fruits is but
little seen in our market, in a ripe state. The
writer of the Calendar for the Horticulturist,
gives a very simple remedy, which if as good
as represented, is well worthy of extensive ap
plication. The following is the remedy as we
read it, merely require the application once,
" when the fruit is forming
Mildew may be prevented, by watering with
soap-suds, over the branches. A radical cure
for this pest may be formed by mixing a peck
of lime and a pound of sulphur, in ten gallons
of water; let it stand and settle. A pint, in
four gallons of water, syringed over the bushes
when thefruitis forming, will keep them clean ;
cover theground with manure, and spread a
small quantity of salt over it, to keep as much
moisture as possible about the roots.
Mulching is undoubtedly a good tiling as it
keeps the roots in a more uniform state as re
gards heat and moisture and salt is recommend
ed by several different writers at this time.—
Our experience goes to prove that if planted
under the shade of trees somewhat, they escape
mildew, although the fruit is small. The fine
show vareties of England arc much more subject
to it than the small rough kind. The White
smith and Houghton, are perhaps the safest to
plant. — Cou nlry Gentleman.
To DESTROY HOUSE FLlES. —Amongst the
" miseries of human life," during the warm sea
son of the year, may be reckoned the tickling,
and buzzing, and obtrusive familiarities of the
common house flics. A correspondent of a
British newspaper, tells us how to destroy
these pests. He says :
Pour a little simple oxymal (an article sold
by the druggist into a cmoinon glass tumbler, &
place in the glass a piece of cap paper, made
into the shape of the upper part of a funnel
with a hole at the bottom to admit the flies.
Attracted by the smell they readily enter the
trap in swarms, and by the thousands soon
collected, prove that they have not the wit or
disposition to return.
HORSE SHOEING. —William Mills, Esq., the
author of a recent English treatise on Ilorse
Shoeing, puts a gutta percha protection across
the sole of the foot, and secures the shoe on
the fore feet, by only three nails in each. He
•"leticc with six horses, for
iutrx a larger number as

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT &. TO St FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS, ELKCTRICI AN, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that lie has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical llatb.
which has proven to lie one of the most 'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
'lis art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, anil quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected. with like results. His success exceeded his mo.-t
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi
neral- that may be bulged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous niine
rals accumulating in the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
liaths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's (,'holic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
NVuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also S.B. Smith'snewlv invented DIRECT AND
TO-AND-FRO ELECTROMAGNETIC MACHINE.which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machine- hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv
great, in introducing medicines into the system through
the pores of the -kin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseases.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
