Department. Native Grapes. The following article we take from the Cin cinnati Commercial. It was written by K Lougworth. In rasing plants from the see ounces. It will have a good aroma and flavor. I find grapes from the North, geuerallv, when cultivated here, to possess less sugar than those from a warmer region, and in ma king wine North, an addition of sugar before fermentation will ensure a good wine. Even here, persons profess to have wine kept sweet, and all fermentation prevented, by a charm. I am satisfied that uo grape will make a sweet wine without the additiou of sugar, unless the grapes are dried, or the must boiled. Fer mentation is easily prevented by drugs, but are highly injurious to wine, and I regret to sec such wines lauded by pcrsous who make or sell them. It is to the moderate lattitudes we must look generally for our best wine and table grapes. Thus far, North Carolina stands ahead of all other states. I have a new va riety from that state 011 trial, that I deem may be of great value as a wine grape, but fear it will require a more southern lattitude than ours. In another year, if it equuls my expectation, I shall bring it to public notice. Increased grape culture will hereafter ena ble us to buy all the wine we want of a supe rior quality by paying an extra price ; and I believe our Still Catawba, when of proper age, will rival the best pure wines of Europe. If my life is spared, I shall try to prove it. To manufacture wine of the best quality, requires great iicatuess and care only, and is as easy as to make good butter. The Northern parts of Georgia and South Carolina will produce good wines, but, like the Sherry, Port and Madeira wines, require some spirit to be add ed. Deep, arched cellars, may be all that is neeissary ; but they must not expect the wild visions now existing there to be realized. One of their vinemeu says "an average crop will be from 2,000 to 2,500 gallons per acre." This would be six times the average crop of the tvinc districts of Europe and of our vineyards. TALCE OF SHEEP TO THE FARMER. —It is of more importance to the Farmer than is gener ally supposed, that a certain proportion of his farm stock should consist of sheep. Speak ing on this point, 11. S. Fay, of Lynn, recent ly remarked at an Agricultural meeting in Boston (as reported in the N. E. Farmer) " Sheep arc gleaners after other stock, and will help keep the cattle pastures in good condi tion by beiug turned into them occasionally, to cat the coarser plants which have been left. They will enrich the land. There is no manure so fertilizing as that of sheep, and it does not so readily waste by exposure as that of other animals. Sheep may be made ex ceedingly useful in helping to prepare land for a crop. A German agriculturalist has calcu lated that the droppings from one thousand sheep during a single night would manure an ucrc sufficiently By that rule a farmer may determine how loug to keep any given number of sheep on a particular piece of land. Mr. Fay said he was accustomed to fold his sheep upon land, which he designed for corn and other crops ; and in so doing he shut them upon half an acre at a time, keeping them there by a wire fence, which was easily moved from place to place. In this way his land was very well manured without the labor of shov eling and carting." These ideas are worth reading by the farmer. We believe any farm will bear a certain number of sheep, in pro {tortion to the other stock, not only without oss to the amouut of grazing which it will yield to the cattle and horses, but to the in crease of the same. Mr. Fay, by his manage ment makes the lambs and manure pay for keeping the sheep, and the wool is clear profit. EFFECTS OK DRAINAGE. —AII the rain that falls upou our fields mnst be carried away ei ther by natural or artificial drainage, or, hav ing thoroughly saturated the soil on which it falls, be left on the surface to he carried off by evaporation. Now, every gallon of water thus carried off by evaporation, requires as ranch heat as would raise five and a half gal lons from the freezing to the boiling point ! Without going to extreme cases, the great effects of the heat thus lost upon vegetation cannot fail to l>e striking, and I have frequent ly found the soil of a field well drained, higher in temperature from 1(J to Isdeg. than that of another field which has lieeu draiued, though in every other respect the soils were similiar. I have observed the effects of this 011 growing crops, and I have seen not only a much infe rior crop on the undraiued field, but that crop harvested full three weeks after the other, aud owiug to this circumstance, and the set ting in of unsettled weather, I have seen that crop deteriorated fully 10 per cent in value. DETTH EOR PLANTING SEEDS. —Minute seeds whose powers of growth must be feeble in pro portion to their size, will bear only slight cov ering ; while others of a larger size aud more vigor, will be capable, when their vital powers arc once put in action, of upheaving consider able weights of soil. The judicious gardener will take care to employ, for a covering, no more earth than is really necessary to preserve around his seeds the requisite degree of dark ness aud moisture. A seed, when it begins to grow, phiuges its roots downwards, and throws its stem upwards from a common point, which is tlie seed itself; and consequently, all the space that intervenes between the surface of the soil and the seed is occupied by the base of the stem, and not by the roots.— Llndly.

Back,and Limbs, Female Complaints, Ac., Ac. Indeed very few arc the diseases in which a Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much I sickness and suffering might be prevented, if a harmless but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per son can feel well while a costive habit of body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judi cious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Billious derangements. They 1 all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for midable distqjiipers whicli load the hearses all oer the land. Hence a reliable family physic is of the first im portance to the public health, and this Pill ltas been per fected with consummate skill to meet that demand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything hitherto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef fected beyond belief, were they not substantiated by per sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention : Poet. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Profes sional character is endorsed bv the— Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States. ROBERT C. WTNTHROP, Ex Speaker of the House of Representatives. ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plcn. to England. tJOIIN B. FITZPATBICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston; ulso Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New Y'ork City, endorsed by Hon. W. L. M ARCY, Secretary of State. WM. B. ARTOR, the richest man in America. S. KELAND A Co,, Proprietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, and others. Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi ficates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but evidence even more convincing than the experience of eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered to the public as the best aud most complete whicli th# present state of medical science can afibrd.— They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and combin ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef ficient remedy thau had hitherto been obtained by any process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by tlie old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with more or less of acrimonious and injurious finalities, by this each individual virtue only that is desired for the cu rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qualities ot each snbstance employed are left behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evident the effects should prove as they have proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an tidote to disease thau any other medicine kuowu to the world. As it is frequently expedient that many medicines should be takeu under the counsel of an attending Physi cian. and as he could not properly judge of a remedy without knowing its composition, I have suppled the ac curate Formula; by which both my Pectoral and Pills are made, to tin; whole body of Practitioners in the United States ana British American Provinces. If however there should be any one who has not received them, they will be forwarded by mail to his request. Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few would be taken it their composition was known ! Their life consists in their mystery. I have no mysteries. The composition of iuy preparations is laid open to all men, and all who are competent to judge on the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was pronounced by scienti fic men to lie a wonderful medicine before its effects were known. Many eminent Iliysicians have declared the same thing of my Pills, and even more confidently, and are willing to certify that their anticipations were* more than realized by their effects upon trial. They operate by their powerful influence on the inter nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow els, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangemeutg as are the first origin of disease.

JOHN CARMAN. Towanda, Oct. 22,185 G. GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN WATER PIPE AND CHAIN PUMP TUBING. 13 HE subscriber having lately commenced the raanufac . ture of WATER TUBING, at Wilkes-Bar re, Pa. with WYCKOFF'S PATENT IJOUINd MACHINE, which produces the article so long sought after by Pump Manufacturers and others, would call the attention of Rail road Superintendents, Pump Dealers, Farmers, Village Corporations and all others m want of cheap and durable Water Conductors, to the Pipes manufactured by this pro cess. They are made from solid Pine and other scantling from 3 to (i inches square, according to size of bore and pressure required, in sections 8 feet long, with a socket joint accurately fitted, both air and water tight. As Wy chnlFs Machine bores directly through the centre every time, the timber need only be large enough to sustain the pressure wanted, as the smaller they are the more perfect ly they become saturated with water, and the longer they will best when laid in the ground. It is a well-ascertain ed fact that while tire body or thick part of a puinp log is entirely decayed .he thin sharpened end will be sound ; at the same tin - they never atop up from impurities of the water or ' ,ng flattened, are free from rust or poison ous oxydes, lasting about as long as lead or iron, at only one-sixth the cost. The alxivc-mentioned Pipes have been extensively and thoroughly tested in most of the Northern States, for the I last two years, and wherever introduced they immediate y supersede nil other kinds of Pipe or Chain Pump Tub ing. They can be made to stand any desirable head of water, and can lie shipped to any part of the country with safety and at small expense. ftJ'Ordcrs solicited and filled with despatch. Address E. S.
