T5.1 Broadway, 
NEW YORK, 
New Location and Business Office 
OP THE 
American Agriculturist. 
The different branches of business naturally lo¬ 
cate near together, usually grouping around a com¬ 
mon center As New York City is limited by rivers 
on each side, and as business is doublijug every few 
years, frequent changes of the centers become ne¬ 
cessary. Financial and shipping interests are now 
demanding a large part of the lower or southern 
part of the city, and many branches of trade have 
already moved “ up town,” two or three times. 
A very large part of the Publishing and Book 
Trade is now concentrating between Bond Street 
and Union Square, with Fifth Avenue on the west 
and the Bowery and Fourth Avenue on the east 
as its side boundaries, and the Astor Library as 
its natural center. 
Taking advantage of an opportune vacancy in a 
very central location, the Publishers of the American 
Agriculturist determined upon the occupancy of 
No 7.T1 SSroualway, which, as shown in the 
accompanying map, is just below Eighth Street, 
and but a short distance west of the Astor Library, 
the Cooper Union or Institute, the American Bible 
Society Buildings, etc. Here we have a spacious 
and convenient first floor, 26 by 100 feet, opening 
direct upon Broadway, with abundaut basement 
rooms for mailing, etc., and rooms above for print¬ 
ers and other purposes. The Electrotyping and 
Press-work, etc., will continue, as hitherto, in va¬ 
rious other buildings, where steam power and ma¬ 
chinery can be used more conveniently. 
The Broadway stages from various points pass our 
Office. The surface or horse railways pass near on 
both sides. The Stations of all the Elevated Rail¬ 
ways are but a little distance east and west of us. 
Our friends, entering the city at any point, will 
therefore find it very convenient to give us a call, 
which they are cordially invited to do. 
As an indication of the concentration in this vi¬ 
cinity of business closely related to our own, we 
present the names of some of 
Our Smisicdiiile Neighbors. 
The following Firms and Individual Houses, en¬ 
gaged in Publishing Magazines, various Journals, 
Books, etc., or dealing in them, have their estab¬ 
lishments nearly all within one-tbird of a mile of 
Our New Location, and most of them almost with¬ 
in a stone’s throw, as shown on the map or by their 
street numbers. The figures in parenthesis ( ) 
refer to corresponding figures on the map, to indi¬ 
cate the locality:

The Death of Dr. A. W. Grant occurred in 
Connecticut early in January last. Some fifteen years 
ago Dr. Grant was very prominent in grape culture, and, 
as he held views with which other cultivators did not 
agree, he was often engaged in controversies. Still, he 
did much service to the cause in insisting upon a high 
standard of excellence in the grape. He was largely in¬ 
strumental in making the Delaware known, and the 
Iona and Eumelan—one a seedling, and the other a dis¬ 
covery of his—in suitable localities, are still among our 
best grapes. He gave up business several years ago, 
and we are informed that an affection of the brain, in 
his later years, incapacitated him for any mental exertion. 
The Annual Horse Sale.— The March sale of 
horses, which was instituted four years ago by some 
gentlemen who wished to have a bona fide sale, at. which 
each animal should be actually sold to the highest bid¬ 
der, without any reserve or by-bidding, will be held on 
the 15th inst. As before, the sale will be held at the 
building of the American Institute, and be conducted by 
Peter C. Kellogg & Co., whose names are a guarantee of 
fairness. 
The Urhana AVine Co. was regarded as the 
most prosperous of several of the companies in that re¬ 
markable vine region around Lake Keuka, in Steuben 
Co., N. Y. We were much surprised by the announce¬ 
ment, in January last, that the company had made an 
assignment. The cause of the failure was not stated, 
but this disaster can not make the locality in which it 
was located any the less beautiful, or cause the vine-elad 
hills that surround the lake to be any the less the most 
interesting vine-growing locality east of the Mississippi,
