Theie is a carious story aboat SORM flaSve wines which are extensively advertised nowa­ days, and have only recently been pat upon, the market. Dr. Underbill, the well-known; grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were. unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to he sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vine& It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine- fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con­ siderable quantity. The whole stock is Tin the hands of the well-known wholesale grocery | house of the Thurbefs.--•N* Y. Trihmt, I Now. 19, tSjf. } His stock consists in part of i oed Cutters, Fanning Mills. Corn ShelMrs, Feed MilUi Pumps, Plows, Drags, Cultivators, Wagone. Buggies, Bob Sleights, Outtero, Circular Saws and In short every kind of Tool or Machtae in use on or about the Farm.
