With the purchase made of Dr. C. VV, Grant, last 
Spring, we became possessor* of Hie ORIGINAL 
STUCK OF TUB BUM El.A N V INKS, together with 
a large amount of well-riponed wood for propagation, 
from which we hnve grown a very choice stock of 
vine* for fall and spring sales. 
" e have not made it our object so much to grow a 
large number a* to produce vines at best quality. 
Having been entirely familiar with the vine trade 
for the last ten years, we Confidently assert that the 
Biunelaii vines we Offer lor -.ale arc fully equal, in 
every respect, to auy. of whatever variety, that have 
ever been offered to the public. 
Whoever has pnnvsr with the Concord vine may 
Plant the Eumelati with full nssiimnce that grape* of 
surpassing excellence may bn obtained liy using 
average degree of skill In cultivation. The KU.MlC- 
LAN VINES we offer are grown from mature wood 
taken from the original stock, all of which is under 
our control, the old vines standing In our own 
grounds. To insure seeming the genuine plants, all 
parties should send direct to user to our authorised

Change at Io.va—The eumklan Grape.— » * 
* Under Dr. Grant’s vigorous and careful man- 
ngomont the nursery at Iona has produced many 
choice American grapes. The Eumelan lias been 
under Ills treatment for several years, and we are as¬ 
sured he bus devoted much pains and time to secur¬ 
ing a stuck Ot vigorous vinos—avoiding too rapid 
propagation be fore allowing them to he offered for 
sale. Dr. G. paid a large t'Hco for trie stork, 
<? 1,1*10 for ouiy twelvi vines, we believe.) and has 
since given much attention to its culture and 
propagation, expending a considerable amount to ac¬ 
complish lit* object. ■ * • • While fu regret that 
Dr Grant's health constrains him to give up business 
at Iona, wo are glad to know that his successors are 
gentlemen qualified to maintain the reputation of 
tlie establishment, and wish them eminent success. 
Pram the American Agriculturist. 
“We saw the fruit before, the stock of vines was 
purchased by Dr. Grant, and regard It »* an excellent 
and very early son, with more character than Is 
usually to be found in early grapes.”

The tunnel under tho Straits of Dover, which 
has been so long discussed, appears to be given 
up. 1 1 is stated that tho engineers of France and 
of England have just now pronounced definitely 
against the scheme. They ail agree, indeed, that 
tho tunnel !a unite feasible; but then they mid 
that the cost of It would be £10,000.000. To pay, 
such a tunnel would require twenty thousand 
passengers u day ul live shillings apiece.

The surveys for I he East Hiver bridge are now 
finished, and tho iino of the bridge nnd ap¬ 
proaches located. The caissons upon which the 
towci's are to rest are to be of yellow pine, and 
800,<XX) square feel, of lumber will be required to 
complete the work. The t imber is now lying at 
Red Hook, ready to bo bolted together tmd sunk 
in position. In consequence of the immense 
height ol the towers, nearly three years will 
elapse before the cables cau be stretched across 
the river, and nearly six years before the bridge 
can be thrown open to the public. 
The recent attempted bank robbery at Roch¬ 
ester, N. H., created a great excitement in that 
town. The burglars attempted 10Work through 
from the outside by exploding two pounds ol' 
powder iu tho wall. One door was blown open ; 
but the explosion was heavier titan they expect¬ 
ed, and caused them to leave without making 
any further attempt. Upon one of the doors of 
tho bank is a curious look, which has gained 
some fume. It was invented and made thirty- 
fi\c years ago by Charles Bonnet, one of the 
first directors of tho Rochester Rank. There is 
not another lock in the World like It. Twenty-six 
years ago, when an attempt was made upon this 
bank, this lock was twice charged with powder, 
and exploded, yet it did not give way. It is now 
in tts good condition, apparently, as when it wns 
made. Many years since a hieksmIth came from 
New York to sell a batik lock, and ho laughed at 
tills specimen, which he assured the cashier he 
could pick in half un hour. He was promised 
that tho bank would buy anyone of his looks if 
he could do so. To give him a better opportu¬ 
nity the door was thrown open, and then the 
bolts were sprung. Tho New-Yorker look his
