Gtarsay.—On Tuesday afternoon we paid a visit to the celebrated grapery of Mr. Chas. McPhee, Colborne. Mr. Mc- Phee has a vineyard containing about 1,000 vines, principally Concord, and although the space oocupied is but an acre and a hail, it is expected that the yield will be about six tons of luscious fruit. Mr. McPhee prunes closely, and grows the vines on wires, so arranged that all the grapes can be gathered with- out climbing. The enterprising owner ts more value rom is acre and a of fgrapes than any other man in Col- borne. We understand that the sea- sons yield has been sold to a gentleman in Blyth at a good figura. Our thanks are tendered for a basket of splendid gripes TEs CRAWL —We are pleased to find that the crop report gathered by the G. T. Railway concerning the state of the crops in the districts through which its lines pass, confirm the opinion that for once the yield is going to exceed the ex- pectations formed during the growing season. The reports themselves are not numerous, nor is the system pursued calculated to give a precise idea of the meaning of the reports. Only a general impreee&an can be gained.
