Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at Kenne 

 Square, Penn. July 5, 1827. 

 At the celebration of Independence this year 

 we had exhibited several specimens of wine, which 

 have been examined in Baltimore and Philadelphia, 

 and pronounced by good judges equal to the best 

 foreign wines. The vineyards in this neighborhood 

 are extremely flourishing, and the vintage of last 

 year affords a handsome profit to their proprietors. 

 The Tuffcanum vineyard, the oldest and most pro- 

 ductive, is now worth near a thousand dollars an 

 acte, and yields more than the interest of thjt mo- 

 ney. A gentleman ten miles below, who put out 

 ten acres in the white mulberry, assures me, the 

 field yields him annually, beyond all expenses, six 

 hundred dollars — or the interest of ten thousand 

 dollars. Sewing silk of the most beautiful thread 

 and colour is now made for exportation; and all the 

 lads and girls go a courting and get married in 

 silk stockings and dresses of their own manufac- 

 ture. [Village Record.
