VINTAGE IN FRANCE. 

 The accounts of the vintage from Franco are 

 ▼ery favorable. In both Upper and Lower Bur- 

 gundy, in Chani|inigne and throughout the vicini- 

 ty, the vines are covered with blossoms, and as 

 the season was very favorable, an abundant crop 

 •was expected. Fears were entertained for the 

 quality, in consequence of the season being nearly 

 a month behind. Great distress continued to ex- 

 ist from the want of a market for wine.

 They have discovered in the operation, that men 

 can do more work, with less noise, and less 

 quarrelling, with better appetite and health, 

 without the use of strong drink, than with 

 it. The names of several respectable farmers 

 who made the experiment are given. 



At a late meeting of the Agricultural Society of 

 lIaniiltonCoiinty,Ohio, beautiful specimens of silk 

 and rolls of fine white linen were exhibited being 

 the growth and manufacture of the state. Com- 

 munications were made on the preparation of 

 hemp, on the making of wine, and on the cultiva- 

 tion of wool. Splendid cut glass decanters were 

 displayed ; and, says the Western Review, all 

 gave proof that we need send neither to France 

 for our wine, to Ireland for our fine linen, or to 

 England for the richest samples of cut glass. —
