Native Grapes.
The following article we take from the Cin
cinnati Commercial. It was written by K
Lougworth.
In rasing plants from the see<l of the Ca
tawba, grapes of great value may be produ
ced, and varieties without number. But the
greater portion will go back to its grandfa
ther, the Fox ; and many of them of greut
beauty of color, and being of large size. The
Fox Grape is readily distinguished by the
extreme white color of the leaf on the under
side ; and where a full blooded Fox, the stem
will be covered with a hairy down. Where
there is a down, the plant should be thrown
oside as soon as the stem shows it. Where
tire steei is smooth, if the leaf is white, it may
produce a good fruit. W here the under side
of the leaf has less, or not more of the Fox
character than the Catawba, a plant of value
may be expected. The comuioa Fox Grape,
as the skin is thick, and the pulp hard, yields
but little must, and most of them not as much
sugar, aud therefore are not valuable as wine
grapes. Where wine is made from them, 1
should put 12 ounces of loaf sugar to the gal
lou. If a sweet wine is desired, 2t> 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.

CATHARTIC PILLS
ANEW and singularly successful remedy for the cure i
of all Billions diseases—Costiveness, Indigestion
Jaundice, Dronsy, Rheuiuatisui, Fevers ."Gout, Humors,
Nervousness, Irritability, Inhumations, Headache, Pains
in the Breast, Side. 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.

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.
