GOT TOO FOND OF WINE. Bo This Southern Gentleman Dew stroyed One of the Finest Vine= yards in the South, A gentleman who lives on the north gide of the county, at the foot of the Peaks of Otter, recently destroyed what was one of the finest vineyards in the county, says the Bedford (Va.) Democrat. The vineyard was com- posed of about 1,000 healthy bearing vines of different varieties of fine grapes. For several years past, be- ing unable to market the fruit at a profit, the owner has been turning his grape crop into wine, making sometimes as much as 1,000 gallons of fine wine in a season. Having a great quantity of wine and being en- dowed with that hospitality characs teristic of old Bedford, he dealt it out very freely to his family and neigh- Yors. The habit of imbibing grew on im, on his family, and on his neigh- Jors, until, as he expressed it, “the thing got to be a nuisance,” and the only way to get rid of what seemed to him to threaten the vitals of his family and the entire neighborhood was to get rid of his vineyard, so he went to work and destroyed the finest vineyard in the county.

Frank £, Sproat, of Rapho town- ship, was before court last faturday and plead guilty to three cha'g:s of larceny. There were peculiar cirecum- stances connected with the cases. Three years ago he stole several ar- ticles of trifling yalue from Martin Risser. He was not suspected of the thefts and they were practically {or- gotten, when Sprout called on Mr. Risser and confessed his thefts, and made restitution, saying that his conscience had troubled him. Sprout also called on John G. Heisey and confessed to him that he had stolen chickens from him; and on Dav id Hitz, and confessed to him that he had stolen wire from him. He made restitution to both these parties and they had no intention of prosecuting him. The constable of the district heard of S8prout’s confession, he sued Sprout, and compelled these people to come as witnesses.
