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.

Sentence Suspended.
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. The court sus-
pended sentence.
