QP In the Detroit Free Press of Tuesday was an interestiog report of the discussions of the Indiana State Pomological Society, in annual session at Fort Wayne, touching grapes and the mildew which has spread its ravages so widely this year. Much of the value of the article, however, is lost, hy the repeated misprint of the naines of one of the leading varieties. It was Israella- nol Isabella- of which Mr. Knox spokeas a good but " Koung grape," and which was so frequent ly named by other speakers. lona is also misprinted throttghout tlie article as lorna. We notice these errors not in a spirit of fault-finding criticism, but beeause the general reader wil] be misled. ïO_ A correspondent ashamed to give his name, buthailingfrom "near Detroit," has sent ua #1.00 with an advertisement for a wife. If he wishes to adverüse in our columns over nis own proper signatura they are open to him,- though any man of sense can certatniyget a wife without,- but we wiab notbiog to do with the advertisement in its present shape.or with Ure answers it desires to.be addresaed to our office. We hsve more respectable business on handtlian that of a "go-between" to a senseless old bachelormore likely designing knave- and girls of 'sweet sixteeu" or maidens "fat, fair, and foi-ty." J53L "Wo have received an anonymous note, signed " Fresh," euclosing what claims to be a verbatim copy of a letter written by a ■' Mediek," which we are requested to pubiish. We doubt the genuineness of the specimen, but if genuine have no use for it.- "Fresh" is advieed to cultívate his own style, and especially to remember that so "Fresh" a signature is not a "pass" to the columns of a newspaper. tW The September number of tbe North.
