Correction. — In the piece in Ihe last N. England Farmer; 

 enlilled " Notes and Obsen-vtioiis on^ the Vine," al Ihe 130lh 

 page, middle column, ISih line from Ihe top, after the word

 then read thus, " But iii this country, \\ here we are so seldom 

 annoyed hy hail storms, a vertical wall with a coping, seems 

 [not] indeed the most eligible; forduring," &o. 



But as the passage now runs, there is a manifest contradiction 

 throughout that whole paragraph.
