SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1874. Vineyards of Reading and Vicinity, Reading ami vicinity is noted for its vineyards. There is probably no other section of the State where the culture of thi irruiH! has received so nmcli alien lion, or wiiere the success of the culture him lieen so nmi kod. For the last tlireo or four years the crops have been uti usually lai L'u. with little or no rust or iiiililnw lo (leiract from theirexcelleuoe.

This Fall, again, the yield has been abundant aud more than equal to the product of any former ar. A reporter of the F.anle lias taken some pains to obtaiu the yield of our vineyards Uns vetir, and we condense from his state ment the following interesting partial The largett vineyard in the vicinity of Keadinsr is located on tne eastern slope of theXeversink, a short distance beyond Deugler's tavern, on the Frie densburg road. It is at present owned by John. iV. Fehr, and is in charge of his father in law.

Eberhard JJartli. Tins vinevard was planted by the late John Fehr, and contains about eight acrc3 of bearing vines ot tne nuton, uoucora, Jves Seed line and Taylor varieties. Mr Fehr has harvested this year about twenty tons ef grapes, and expects to make froia 50 to 70 barrels ot wine The vineyard of Catharine Amelia iSchoener, sister of Mr. Fehr. is located on the eastern slope ot Mt.

I'enn, mime' diately beyond the "Hessian Camp" ground, and consists of about 3 acres, principally of the Clinton variety. The vines are about a years oiu, graueu.anu the yield has been about seven ions, The tenant is Jacob Roth, who also cultivates small fruits of various kinds. John (. Auteureath, Kim and Lom bard streets, has a vineyard which, he says, is 3 acres in extent. The oldest vines were planted 22 years ago and are bearing still.

He has some vines "replanted" a year ago, which are full of trranes. He has 35 varieties of grapes, but the kinds he principally cultivates are the Catawba ana Clinton He has uathered about nine tons of grapes this season, and expects to mal about gallons ot wine, lie maim factures Jolden wine" from Catawba grapes, taking 12 pounds of the fruit to make one gallon of wine. A portion of the vineyard which was planted myeais ago was cut down so near to the roots as to ieave only one eye to a stump, and from the heads tiius formed new branches sprung out, and these are now in a thrivingcondition and very heavily laden with fruit. Win. Voting his vineyard at Twi'lfth and Walnut streets about 20 years ago, and he hasa vineyard an acre or more in extent.

He has gathered more grapes this year than ever before, the yield reaching probably over three tons. In former years he sold some seasons as.high as two tons for wine beside selling a great many eating grapes. Mr. Voting also cultivates very successfully various other kinds of fruit, apples, pears, plums, peaches, He has the reputation of raising some of the liuest fruit in this section of the country. In Mr.

Young's vineyard are some 40 varieties of grapes though he cultivates principally the Catawba and Isabella. The vineyard attached to the residence of A. K. suburban residence on the southern slopeof Mt. Penn consists of about two acres, and he has gathered nearly four tons of excellent fruit.

This vineyard was started about a quarter of a century ago by the late (ieo. W. Oakeley. Quite a large variety of smaM fruit is also cultivated on these premises. ieorge Walter, at the "White House," on thesouthern slope of the Xeversiuk, has gathered from his half acre of vines planted about a dozen years ago, nearly one Ion of excellent grapes.

Itoscius JSaumau, on the northern side of the road, this side of the White House, formerly Madeira's place, has gathered nearly a ton of line grapes. His vines were planted about seven years ago. The vineyard formerly owned by Augustus Vollnier, attached to St. Joseph's Hospital at the head of Walnut street, is reported as having yielded about three tons. Besides these vineyards noticed by the IUiiIc reporter, are a number of others that have yielded largely.

A. F. Boas, has a couple of vineyards on the western slope of Penn 'a Mount, both of which have produced immense crops. Our neighbor, James Jameson, on his line fruit and truck farm in charge of ('has. Long; Alderman Schoener, and his brother John Schooner, Michael Hauser, John C.

Hepler, J)r. John B. Brooke, all of the Otli Ward, are large amateur grape growers. Dr. Brooke, has devoted much attention to grape and fruit culture, especially iu choice varieties.

Dr. Franklin Keeser, in south 8th street, also gives much attention to the cultivation of choice grapes. Both of the Doctors named have over a dozen choice varieties in their respective gardens. Of other ama.teurgrape growers in the city we may mention Henry Kessler, Judge Hageuman, (ieorge Winters, Dr. S.

S. Stevens, Hiester Clymer, Henry K. Eckert, Morton M'llvain, Lewis Li. Seltzer, Adam Schwartz, Horatio Trexler, F. Leaf Smith, Berto let Connurd, I.

K. Stetson, Joseph L. Htichter, Frederick Lauer, C. B. Mc Kuight, James McKuight, Henry Crouse, and many others who cultivate choice varieties.

As for grape growers generaiiyj nearly every house holder in Heading, and fanner and gardener i tne coiiuiry, nas irom ojio to a uozt ii alulks about his or her premises. We are a grape growin; community, anil nearly every family in the county can literally Bit under its own vine aud par take of the luscious fruit during the autumn months. The grapes mostly grown in Berks are the (Joucord, Clinton, Catawba, Isabella, Ives Seedling, Maxiitawuv, Martha, Kebecca, Pelaware, racla, fcc. Vhe larger vine grovera, we believe, fiud the Concord, Clinton and Catawba varieties most profitable the first for the table, aud the two last for the purpose of manufacturing wine. There are liumlredH of barrels of wine made In Berks county every year, which commands a ready sale at from $1.51) to 3.00 per gallon.

RAVAGES OF A PESTILENCE. How I lie Iiiiliaiis Here Ilealroyed caiuurniK in inss. habited by hundreds ot Indians were desolate and the abodes of ruin. The same'appalling proofs of thisdire calam ity were constantly presented to us as we traveled up the San Joaquin.

Nei ther biblical nor profane history has por trayed such mouruiui results ot tne march of a destroying angel as were presented to our senses as we repassed through, along by, and around those si lent and vacated villages, which some ten months before we had seen swarm ing with Indian life and resounding Willi voices lrom hundreds ot human throats. Around the naked villages, graves and the ashes of funeral pyres, the skeletons and swollen bodies told a tale of death such as to us no written record had ever revealed. From the head of the Sacramento Valley until we reached the mouth of King's River, not exceeding live live Indians were seen, and here we found encamped a village of Indians, among whom the destroying angel was sating his greed of human victims by a ghastly carnage. During the one night, more than a score of victims were added to the hosts upon which he had been feeding. Tho wailing of that stricken village dining that night was incessant and most terrible.

Tho sword of the destroyer was a remittent fever with which the victims were first stricken down to be finished by a hot air bath, followed by a plunge into a cold water one. 1 1 was evident to us from the signs which we saw, that at first the Indians buried their dead; but when the dead became so numerous that the living could not bury them, resort was had to the burning of the dead bodies, and when the living from diminished numbers were unable to do this, they abandoned their villages, the sickandthe dyinir, mid lied iu dismay, only to die by the side of the springs and pools of water, and beneath the shade of protecting tre's. A Snake Enter. The IUclimoml Herinter gives an account of a strange character who livis at 'Waco, in Madison county. He is about forty years of age, and is a hermit extraordinary.

His mode of living is not very extravagant, as he purchases ten cents' worth of tueal at a time, which he keeps in a black satchel aud uses for a pillow, with the bare ground for l)is couch, am) nought ti'i pept tha heuvon furacov ering. He passed the most of bis time iu sleep. Iu anpoaranoe he is lean aud cadaverous. Possessing an oiuuiverous gullet he eats snakes, lizards, skunks, ground hogs, rats, moles and all creeping things.

J. J. AVarnerintheLos Angeles (Cal.) Star: I havo read of the horrors of the Lou don plague, and of the more than deci niation by pestilence of the inhabitants of various parts of the world, in different ages, and ot the destruction oi mauKiuu bv tne angels of the Lord, audbyde Htroving angels; but I have never read or heard of such a general destruction of a people by any angel, good or baa, or by plague of pestilence, as that which swept the Valley of tho Sacramento and Sail Joaquin in the hummer oi ibdo. In tho Autumn of 1832 a party, of which the writer was a member, trav eled from the mountain down along the banks ot the San Joaquin Kiver and up those of theSacrameuto to some distance tbove the confluence of the latter with Feather River. The numberof Indians living along and iu the vicinity of thi banks of the rivers was so much Igrcater than I had ever seen living upon the same area country, that it presented a constant source ot surprise.

Tne conclusion was then reached bv me that there was no other place on the continent, north of the tropic, tho natural productions of which could support so large a population as was then living in the section of country to which I have referred. in the latter part or tne summer oi wc entered the northern extremity of the Sacramento Talley troni the Kla math Lake and Pitt River countries. We found the northern part of the val lov strewn with the skeletons and trag' ments of skeletons of Indians, unfertile shading trees, around springs and the convenient watering places, upon the banks of the river, and over the plain, where wolves and coyotes, waddling from tree to tree or over the plaiu, their hides distended with unnatural fatness had drainred and denuded them. From the head of the valley to the American River but one living Indian was seen, and he was the most perfect personinca' tiou of solitude that was ever presented to mv view; his wasted muscles, ins eves deeply sunk in their sockets, as if there were no brain within the cranium, emitted a dull, vacant gaze, as it aston ished to behold a living human being, when he believed that all, all weredead, aud he alone left, telling most emphati cally of his utter loneliness, ot how lie hud'seen the destroying angel engaged in his work of death on every hand, and wherever his eyes were turned, until lie himself was prostrated, not killed, but left to rise upon his feet, and wander i bout among the bones and festering bodies of his folk. The dwellings or the Indians in tho numerous villages loca ted upon and along the banks of the Sac amento Kiver, and its tributaries, were void, and no loot tracus out tnose oi fowls and wild beasts were to be seen in the lonely villages.

we traveled southerly the skeletons were of a fresher appearance, and before reaching tire buttes, and irom thence southerly, the entire or partially de voured bodies ot the Indians, in all sta gesof decay, were so invariably found in and about all the convenient and de sirable camping places that it became necessary, in order to escape the stench of decomposing humanity, to seek our night's encampments upon the open plain. Alter crossing peatiier iciver, those villages along the Sacramento which in the Winter previous were each in $atu, Hats Ironed or blocked whilst waiting, for 25c. DR. NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND.
