As you have paraded my name before your readers, in last evening's Express, in such flattering terms, in connection with the speck of frost that recently spread such consternation among the vineyardists, I cannot do less than to offer them some useful suggestions, by means of which they may be able, in the future, to receive in good humor the unlooked-for visits of Jack Frost, entertain him becoming-ly and let him depart a satisfied guest. If we had no frost at all we should have no great wine country. As I am no prophet at home, I will quote a few extracts from Frederich Mohr, the greatest living authority on viticulture and vinification, that must have greater weight with neighbors than if I played the Savant: "The grape vine is, among the plants, what the horse is among animals—one of the most precious boons Nature has given to man. It follows him to climates of a very different character, and admirably rewards him for all the trouble devoted to it. As in the horse, everything in the grape is beautiful and noble. The delicately-shaped leaves, the fragrant blossoms, the delicious grape extend their development." CARRIAGE PAINTER!

It follows him to climates of a very different character, and admirably rewards him for all the trouble devoted to it. As in the horse, everything in the grape is beautiful and noble. The delicately-shaped leaves, the fragrant blossoms,the delieous grapes, extend their development over the whole year, except during the severe months of Winter, and require uninterrupted and careful treatment by the hand of man." "The borders of the wine region do not coincide with certain isothermal lines, so that all countries of a certain average warmth are fit for the cultivation of the vine. It requires a long, warm Summer and is able to bear a considerable degree of cold in the Winter. Although the Winters of England are very mild, yet the grape vine does not flourish there, because the Summers are not warm enough. The hard,frozen soil of Tokay, in Hungaria does not prevent the production of wine of the greatest excellence. A sea climate is favorable to viticulture only in lower latitudes; in Germany it extends nearly two degrees further north than in France,situated nearer to the ocean.- Bordeaux, on the Atlantic ocean, produces wines similar to those produced in Burgundy which is considerably more northward but inland. "It is remarkable that the most delicate and precious wines are produced almost exclusively near the northern line of its cultivation.The noble Ahrleichert,and the Walporzhelmer, which rivals the wine of Bordeaux and Burgundy; grow immediately on the northern border of viticulture..Only a few miles further north,the cultivation of the vine ceases entirely,and the vine is only found growing on trellises and houses.The Johannisberg,Ruedesheim,Steinberg and Rauenthal are grown on the northern border of viticulture,在the Rhinegua,从 east to west. Only a few hundred paces to the north there are the Westerwald and the Taunas (mountains).The true poetry of wine,它的 beautiful fragrance,called the bouquet of the wine,是the exclusive property of the northern regions. "If there are many leaves on the vine,大型 quantities of oxygen are given off to the air,and so corresponding quantities of grape sugar and wood fibre are formed.Hence it follows that the foliage must be ample to develop many branches,the number of which is different every year;the foliage is needed to nourish the fruit and to render it sweet." "That the vine is dormant in Winter,show that it belongs to the temperate zone.It is not the cold which causes this dormant condition,但the natural desire to rest to prepare itself for new exertions in the next year."

PROCTER BROS., Publishers, Cape Ann Advertising Office, GLoucester Mass. ing quantities of grape sugar and wood fibre are formed. Hence it follows that the foliage must be ample to develop many branches, the number of which is different every year; the foliage is needed to nourish the fruit and to render it sweet. "That the vine is dormant in Winter, shows that it belongs to the temperate zone. It is not the cold which causes this dormant condition, but the natural desire to rest to prepare itself for new exertions in the next year." "The longer the season of rest, provided the ripening season be equally long and warm, as in California, the more robustly will the plant grow and the more perfect and fragrant will be its jucious fruit. There is no necessity, therefore, of pruning the vine in California immediately after the fall of the leaf in November, as the French do, whose ripening season is short and contingent from deficient heat, rain and early cold. Different varieties of the grape require to be pruned differently. This is a life-long study. The muscat of Alexandria, (the pense musque of the French) a very late grape, has not yet sprouted in my "Rising Sun Vineyard." Some vines bear well from the lower eyes, like the Chaesslon, and all early grapes; as a rule, all the late grapes require to be pruned long, as they only bear well from the upper eyes—sometimes from the seventh and eight eyes, while the lower eyes bear young wood for the ensuing year's pruning. I am afraid of making this article too long, but I must quote some valuable extracts from Dr. P. Mohr, in the hope that faith in him may destroy some prevailing superstitions connected with viticulture in California: Bronner says: "It is an established fact that vines grow best in soil on which vines have never before grown; in a virgin soil, never worked before; in such soil they also reach a greater age." "I," says Bronner, have endeavored to investigate the matter in the vineyards; I have conversed about it with scientific men; but no explanation is satisfactory to me as yet without resorting to hypothetical phrases." "We know that the whole doctrine of humus is nothing but error and deception. The only cause of the premature death of the vines, which is true and perfectly sufficient lies in the exhaustion of the soil of mineral constituents and in too short pruning." "By close pruning we prevent roots..." GAZETTE NO.27 ON THE GRAPE. Forming and Protecting Ozizing—Authority and graded my name bein last evening's flattering terms, in the speck of frost that such consternation hardists. I cannot do them some useful means of which they future, to receive unlooked-for visits certain him becomingdepart a satisfied just at all we should country. As I am I will quote a few Frederich Mohr, the minority on viticulture that must have greater opors than if I played is among the plants, among animals— delicious boons Nature It follows him to different character, wards him for all the tit. As in the horse, grape is beautiful delicately-shaped blossoms, the defrom going deeper in quest of food stored up there. There exists a mutual action between the formation of leaves and wood. The wood fibres, originating from carbonic acid, cannot be formed except by the excretion of oxygen at the surface of the leaves. The greatest quantity of wood fibre is formed if the vine is not pruned at all, but suffered to grow at will; in the same proportion also the root grows, provided that there is a sufficiency of mineral constituents. "All this leads us necessarily to the fundamental truth, already stated in the above, that viticulture can, in the future, only be based on manuring with minerals, and that without them it will disappear in the course of time as has already been the case in the plains of Middle Germany and in the Rhine country, if it cannot be carried on by manuring with minerals." How is that for high for those who think that the soil of California is too new to grow good wine? Those I mean, who look wise, turn up the whites of their eyes like a duck in thunder, and cry "gout de terroir." But knowledge is wanting. We have not the right varieties of vines in cultivation, and we don't know how to prune or care for it, and we do not know how to make wine out of the juice of it, notwithstanding that we have much conceit about it all. The French have introduced into California a pernicious style of pruning the canes of our robust vines to two eyes, cutting the wood off so close to the upper eye that if it lives it is in a starving condition, as the ardent sun dries the wood nearly up to the bud. MINECLEARLOOK. Rev. Josiah Henson, the original of Mrs. Stewels's "Uncle Tom," took part in a concert at Boston recently, singing, as well as he could, a plantation melody of his younger days. It is reported from Washington that between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 in silver will be coined at the mint this month. This will absorb all the surplus fine silver in the market. A German journal calls upon its Government to remind Plus DX. of the fact that "the German army is strong enough to manage him and all his allies, red, white and black." The newly united Presbyterian Church of British America will contain 600 ministers 1,000 congregations, and 82,250 communicants. Its ministers enjoy an average salary of $840 a year each. Many Tipperary women made a pledge never to walk with, talk with, cook for, wash for, court, marry or countenance, but let live and die as they like, any man who would not vote for John Mitchel for Tipperary. The young woman in Liverpool, disguised for months as a cabman, was at last detected by her unvarying civility, proper language, and refusal to take or ask more than the legal fare. The late Judge Church was once requested by some lawyers to hold court on Good Friday, in order that they might finish the business they had in charge. He replied, "No gentlemen. I think not.

They are all suckers of water—starve the vine—and attract the frost. The Hon. J. J. Warner, the wisest and most learned of us all, irrigated his vineyard in the winter, pruned it in March, pruned long, irrigated after pruning, cultivated the ground after that, and his vineyard has scarcely a notion of sprouting yet. There is the practice all in a nutshell. Some vineyardists who pruned to two eyes scantily will hardly have enough of wood to prune on in two years. Your most obedient servant, M.

It's just like having both legs in one pantaloon to wear the present fashion for ladies. If this thing continues the women will be wearing the breeches in good earnest and the despised petticoat will adorn the nether limbs of man. The new Spring trousers are big and wide and petticoaty; the new Spring skirt is 2 yards at the bottom only, and tied back at that till one can just walk. Verify there are breakers ahead. There are 450 acres of land in Mendocino county devoted to hop culture. Articles of incorporation of the California Labor Exchange and Real Estate Bureau were filed April 16th. The purpose for which the corporation is formed is "to induce immigration to California, to provide employment for such immigrants on arrival whether farmers, artisans or laborers, to act as legal medium between employer and employee, to buy or sell real estate, to receive deposits of money or valuables, pay out the same on demand, to transmit moneys or property from one point to another in the United States or in Europe; for such compensation as may be fixed by the by-laws of the corporation."

Nicaragua, though ylebling much treasure, has no Mint and no National money. Its people are believers in coin, and will take nothing else in payment for their produce. As a natural result, coin-collectors could find no more inviting field for the exercise of their harmless mania anywhere in the universe than here. The coins of all civilized nations are here in circulation, and the traveler often finds himself exceedingly perplexed in consequence. The favorite money of all, however, is Uncle Sam's American gold commands a premium of three per cent. The traveler who has his pantaloon-pockets well venerated with twenty-dollar gold pieces is a welcome guest anywhere; he is regarded in the light of "fresh fish," and will be treated with distinguished consideration wherever he may go. Still the art of ficeing is yet in its infancy in these countries. Hotel board may be had by the month for thirty or thirty-five dollars, and you may employ a good servant for fifteen or twenty cents a day. Horsemen are cheap. In the State of Oxnard, Mexica, a circular has been issued by the authorities, providing that "in such cases may be set apart a spot for cremation or the reduction of bodies to ashes, and the same legal steps will precede such act as are at present requisite for interment."
