PLEASANT VALLEY' VINEYARDS.
•
Correeponeleaco of tho Agitator.,
About one yearngo, I gave you a; shed
,account of a visit to the , fair. of the
PleaSant Valley Grape Grower's associ
ation,' and then expressed the wish,
that when they next exhibit
• _ •• . "May Tbo there: to see. .•_ -
mat wish has beenJgratified . La 4
week, with my family and afeiv friendS,
I visited that 'sectionl again,' the
time of their tenth annual fair. I' told
you before, of the thousands of 'acres . of
grape bearing vines, and the great eel
lam, tilled with hundreds of;thousiands
of gallons of pure and, sparkling wines.
I found again the same vine-covered
hills, tho' same immense cellars,' and
oven as then, the same genial and hos
pitable people. I think. :the warm sun
which ripens and matures these fruits,
also thaws out that iciness of manners,
sucemmon tO us as AmeriCans towards
strangers. Our party were' most Cor
dially .welcomed and delightfully -en
tertained, and the general expression
from all was, "that seldom had three
days passedi, more pleasantly." • To in
duce others lto throw off their busy
eares,for a short time, and enjoy a cheap
easy And agreeable pastime, is the ob-'
ject of this note,
and I will therefore
give' you a short history 'Of the trip; and
whatis tobeseen and enjoyed. Reaching
Rath by railroad el! ptherwise,as.is most
agreeable; you go from thereAy "car
riage over magnificent • turbPikei . 'a
distance of eight miles. , This ride; in a
bright October morning is charming:H
The: country is very fine, and the road
runs along a sort of upland valley, with
large hills 'upon either side in.thu•dis
tame. A fine - landscape is all
„the
while - 46MM; before you. Sung rkii(t
tasty farm houseS, neatly kepHields,
orehardsloaded with fruit and the gra
zing herds present .a picture of rurid
beauty. As you approach \ Pleasant
Valley; view becomes rkid, -as •
well as beautiful. From eminence
that overlooks it,. the ,whole - is spread
out like a panorama, The broad ,green..
lieldS with a clear and rippling stream
winding through them, ttici scattered
farm houses, and:the grazing herds of
cattle and sheep seen through the yel
low sunlight of October present a scene
01 'pastoral beauty, a -hueulio eaim4‘ ‘,tr
itself. The hill sides, as farns' the *eye
can, reach, sloping upward from the
valley, are covered with terraces, upon
which are the vines, leaded With their
purple and golden fruit. The lenaceS
and rows of vines on them, in the. dif
fereut vineyards, running, in different
directions, and at various angles to each
other, give to the hillsides the appear
ance of a check work- of vines. • Here
and there a ,piece of forest, clothed in
the gorgeous - hues of Autumn, and
mingling with the emerald of the vines,
'gives color 'and beauty to the scene.
Away to the north, Luke Kelika lays
flashing in the sunlight, white tapering
spires 'seen above the tree tops, and
curling' smoke rising from the green
foliage near its head, indicate that the
village of Hammondsport has nestled
down there. 'Going down into the
valley and onward towards HammOcids
port, you come to the extensive Cellars
of the Pleasant Valley Wine, Company,
located upon the hillside, in the midst
of a large vineyard. stopping. here,
you wilinot regret the time lost, or' the
ma.kinal the acquain
tance of the gentlemanly officers and
agents of this Company, who will kind
ly show you, what not, one in--zr-tnoes
and of our American people have ever
seen, a wine cellar upon the same plan
and scale as some of the extensive wine
cellars of Europe. These cellars are
three hundred ; feet long, twenty-two
feet wide and eighteen feet high, and I
will not undertake to say how many
thousand of bottles of wine they con
tain. They paid in one year,, eighteen
hundred dollars in duties upon the
corks alone, imported by them. Leav
ing here, and passing onward to Ham
, mondsport, if at the -time of their fair,
you will find one of the finest exhibi
tions of fruit you have ever seen.
Grapes are the speciality, but I never
saw at county or state fair, or in Private
yards, so line apples, pears, and peach
es us .1 saw here last week. Rare and
beautiful flowers, vegetables, fancy
work,:and works of art, are also on
exhibition: The preamble to their
Consiitution recites, that the orgauiza
tion'is for the purpose of "combining
our efforts for the more efficient pro
motion of grape growing, and to en
courage the cultivation of flowers and
the growth of fruit in 'general." After.
viewing there ai; long as yOu like, you
can wander away to the bill side but a
few rods distant, among the vineyards,
where the lucious grapes hand; in tempt
ing clusters Waiting to be picked and
eaten'. it you like, and for this purpose
you can freely take them and the good 7
people will even press them upon you.
IndeAl you Will be fully satisfied, be
fore you have tried each different kind
that \Fill -be given you to test. By
this time, you will be ready to rest, and
the best way to do this, is to step down,
to the lake and go aboard On one of the
little steamers.fiying upon-it and then
to the Urbana Cellars, sonic four wiles
from Hammondsport. Here you will
receive the same cordial welcome from
the ollicers and attendants '7 and they,
will take unwearied pains to interest
and entertain you. , This Cellar is, I
think over two hundred feet long. and
of the same bight and .breadth as the
_Pleasant Valley Cellar. It is most
'beautifully located upon the banks of
Lake Reuka, and is all imposing struc
ture: After seeing, all there is to see
here, you' go on:board the steamer
again, and go down• and across the lake
to Grove Spring. In taking this trip
from Ilaunnoudsport to Grove - Spring,
I would advise any one, to secure pas
sa;!e• on the magnificent steam ship
"Henrietta," for two reasons, first for
the novelty of the thing, and second
, because her commander happens to -be
one.of those good fellows we all like to
meet. The Henrietta is a perfect steam
shjp, about a good sized skiff, and yet
she , "rides the water like a thing of life,"
swift as an arrow and' as stately as a
-swan, she is a perfect little witch. Ar
riving at. Grove Spring, to your sur
prise, you find hidden away in • the pri
meval forest, an elegant Hotel, cool,
.shady and-quiet, with well furnished
rooms and gentlemanly attendants.
The proprietor is Col.-Moore, late Of the
army, and while he has the reputation
of being "every inch a..soldier," he 'is
no less every Mob. a gentleman. , If by
this time, you begin to thing - of refresh

A Fight with a Etter. ~
i..•
The letter of "Pious Seents of Lo h- i
invar," to his friend Tilley, remin us
of, a similar combat we once witness . '
'Twas in,"our boyhood's days," : pa of
which were spent in Tioga County a,.
at that tfme abundantly supplied• w th
deer.. A mile from the little village of
CoVingtpti and further up the valley of
the Tioga there lived anEngliAbman,
a Mr. ;V tvho was very fond, of
1141 sports, rejoicing more, howeirer, ,
in his skill with the "double-barrel"
than the morel deadly rifle in general _
use among tlu hunters of that section.
On either side of the valley, where
his house waslogatpd, rose huge moun
tain spurs of the Alleghapies, and back
of them were unbroken forests. It was
no usual thing for the hounds to drive i
deer from the woods to the. river; and •
frequently in the Autumn days the •
harmonious notes of the pack would be
reverberated from hill to hill, dying in
echoes in the, ravines again to swell,
inuder as the river was neared.
• Mr. V.' had been sitting on the porch
in front of his door listening to the
music of a cotip . le of hounds, carried by
the light - Easterti. breeze from the op
'wane mountain. Indistinct at first, -it
grew' louder, and he was listening. for
the sharp crack of the rifle from the
guardian of the - "runway," when - the
voices ino longer came near.. The dogs
hail changed their course, - and were
running parallel with the ' liver- and
railway. Plually the sounds - were lost,
and hp supposed the deer had taken
the back track, seeking safety in the
big Ossif to Mu 8r1L31.1 of the mountains:
He refilled the pipe he had been smok s
ing,..resumed the perusal of the book
the bitying had diverted his thoughts
from; and was seen attentively engaged
as before the interruption.
•A beautiful cooker Spaniel laid at his
feet, the silky ears "partiallyraised as he
intently listened to the sounds, still
distinct to him, - though inaudible to his
Master. The dog, too, at last dropped
his head, his
.muzzle resting between
his paws, the eyes closed, showing the
notes of the - chase were beyond even his
circular powers.
Pei taps twenty minntes had elapsed
since the deep bay of the dogs had, been
heard, - when the Spaniel sprung 1- from
his reclining position, attracting the
attention of his master, in time to, see a
large buck climb up the bank of the
river: He was evidently :very tired,
looking wistfully at - the "-staked and
ridered" fence, as though he doubted
his capacity to clear it. Nor did he
make the attempt,, but walking along
until he found a low place, he pursued
his journey toward the woods that lay
to the Westward. Mr. V. ran into the
house, caught his gun, and gave chase.
He overtook him as he was entering the
, 34 1 ,31- char at him -as he
disappeared in the thick undergrowth,
which skirted the timber. Running.
toward an opening he fired the other
barrel, and the tired • stag turned di
rectly upon him. There was no chance
of getting out of the way,_ the tangled
switch hopple and upland laurel ham
pering him. The deer; hardly pushed,
.hastily tossed him amongst, a thicker
clump, and, apparently-satisfied, with
out attempting further injury, took th
back track toward the river. Ther
was a road near, and on each side of i
was a high rail: fence. -We were pass
ing where it intersected the river road,
and hearing a loud halloo, our attention
was attracted in that direction. The
deer was coming toward us, and a hun
dred yards in his rear was Mr .V. Pick
ing up a handful of rocks," we prepared
to contest the passage, and with :the
first fire of our battery he again turned.
We were surprised to see V. leave his
gun against the fence, pull out a stake,
the deer, not Seemingly a particle afraid,
watching MM. The spaniel rushed to
make the attack, but a slight tos sent
him flying to such a distance tlat he
did not care to renew the battle. The
buck stood perfectly still;! and Mr. V.
walked deliberately hp and struck him
a tremendous blow betwuen the branch
hey antlers The stake broke into a
number of I ,leces, without even stirring
the' animal, which charged at.once upon
the man.
Fortunately he caught the horns,
which threatened to impale hint; and
the grasp saved his life. Down they
both rolled together, and as fast as we
could get there wed ran to the rescue.
The buck laid on top, with his neck
twisted so that he could not get up so
long as Mr V. retained his hold. We
caught hin by the lower jaw, and, ly
ing 43 ,, crossw s athwart his body, had no
difficulty ' , n completing hid'l capture,
until a boy brought a knife, with which
we cut his throat. ~
It was some time after' the "crimson
tide" stopped running, and the last
spasmodic twitchings had ended, be
fore we could prevail on Mr. V. to fe- '
linquish his grasp. When he did so,
and the dead body was dragged 'away,
we found that he could not Klee, One
prong of the antlers had torn. a deep
wound in his thigh, which,Woined to
the heavy fall, completely disabled
him, and he had to be carried to the
house, which luckily was not fail away
Being a large, powerful man lie had
pushed the deees head down ' or raised
himself so that the points of the horns
struck below a vital place: . A few inch
es higher up and he woul have been
literally torn to pieces, as the horns
were wide spaced enough to pass on
each side of his thighs, but had they
struck higher he must have been em
bowelied.
The buck weighed a good deal over
two hundred pounds, and though lack-

much as old "Burnt - side," - he was the
largest that had been killed there up to
th e period we speak of.
vie antlers ornamented the hall; and
it was Mr. V's-intention to have the
skin dressed and kept as a memento
of the struggle. He needed iiii - other
lessozr to sustain a rifle for a double
barrel loaded with fine shot, when such
animals as this was the game to he bun

Ata so-called spiritual sitting in Hart
ford, recently, there was a woman who
mourned the loss of her consort, and, as
the manifestations began to.appear, the
spirit of the -*parted Benedict entered
upon the scene. Of, course the widow
was now eager to engage in conversation
with the absent one, and the following
dialogue ensued : Widow—" Are you in
spirit world ?" The lamented--I am."
Widow—" How long have, you been
there?" Thelamented—"o,Sometime." -
Widow—" Don't you want to come back
and be with your lonely wife?" The
lamented—" Not if I know myself. It's
hot enough around here!"
