The Horticultural Review and Botanical Magazine, conducted by John 

 A. Warder, M. D., and J. W. Ward, Esq., Cincinnati, 0., $3 a year. Un- 

 der this title, our friend, Dr. Warder, and his assistant, Mr. Ward, have re- 

 established the Western Horticultural Review, a work which had become 

 widely known and everywhere praised. We congratulate the Doctor on his 

 restoration to health — and his subscribers on again having such instruction 

 as he can give them. As an authority in matters pertaining to Grape cul- 

 ture, and the management of the Vine generally, and wine making, it is pe- 

 culiarly excellent. Emanating from the centre of the wine district of Ame- 

 rica, and having such able aids in this department as Messrs. Longworth, 

 Rehfuss, Buchanan, and other growers of that locality, it must necessarily 

 be read by all interested in that branch of industry. And here we must ex- 

 press our conviction that the only way to promote temperance in this coun- 

 try, is the home-manufacture of wines, such wines as the banks of the Ohio 

 produce, similar to those of the Rhine — light, agreeable, and not productive 

 of drunkenness. When our people have something better than whiskey and 

 brandy to drink, there will be no need of Maine liquor laws, which increase 

 hypocrisy without diminishing inebriety. We need not repeat the fact of 

 the well-known temperate habits of the inhabitants of the wine-producing 

 countries of Europe. In the other departments of horticulture the contribu- 

 tions and selections are able and judicious. We are especially pleased to 

 see the botanical portion of this journal. Too little attention is paid to this 

 useful science ; and from ignorance in this has arisen some very grave errors. 

 We hope that Mr. Ward's labors will be properly appreciated ; and from 

 what we have seen in the two numbers already issued, we think that Dr. 

 Warder will have reason to congratulate himself on the acquisition of such 

 assistance. When we add that the Review contains fifty pages of reading 

 matter, and that each number is embellished with a colored plate, it will be 

 evident that it is very well worth the price of subscription.
