From my estimate at three per cent, per annum, the principal and interest amount to ever one thousand fiv hundred million ef dollars.

There Is a curious story about some native vdnet which nre riiensivelv advertised nowa days, rind have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Cnderhill, the well-known srrspe-grower cf Croton Point, died in il7t. Some of his helrt entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that ihey were unwilling to allow the itock of wines ihen on hand to ba aold or anv more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to markd, and sometimes left to decay upon the inen. It i i only now that the oilier beirs h.ivc succeeded in arranging for a settlement if the estate and the sale of the wines on h.iml. Among these il a wine of the vintage of iBtii. described as a "Sweet I'nion Port," but suggesting the imperii.! Tokay more ihin any.o'her Eurorwan wine, snd being wholly unlike riny od'.T wine of American jrowih. It; nuriiv. nre and mellowness sre remarkable, nnd both physicians and wine- fanciers have a special interest in il as ine oldest native wine now nccrssihle in pny con siderable quantity. The whole stork is in the hinds of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers. IV. V. Jntm, The above speaks for Itself, hot we would add fhat this 1$ the pure Juice of the grape, neither 4rufti, Hju. nJ nor valmJ; that it lias been riwncd nnd mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purpose .; it is unsurpassed.
