; VINEYARDS oF CALIFORNIA. — The many, of the counties in regard to grape culture] maesirate, adds: The largest vineyard of the State “is. that of the Buena Vista Company,~ which has 806; 000 vines, covering 450 acres, in Sono: “+ that faisin’ sitid, and oh — 2 the experiment will be~interesting to ‘growers Th this viemity. The! vines from which the grapes were taken were set out three years ago,and the last was the second season of bear. ring. The yield was 450 pounds, which recéived/no other ‘treatment than drybriel, has 176,800 vines on 260 acres. The Lake Vineyard Wine Company ~ have 90 acres with 61,000 vines at the —same place, and they intend-to— set out ~~ 260 acres more this Winter and next Spring, making 850 acres, or 238,000 vines,_TheAnaheim _Wéine-growers Associationmakes more wine than any person or Other Company in the State, from vineyards owned by the members in their individual capacity.’ There are many vineyards of more than ‘75,000 vines in California, and-the number-increases every year, Several millions of vines will be set out this.year, probably more relatively in the San’ Pablo District—that is, the counties north of San Pablo. and Suisun ~Bays—than elsewhere. : The cultivation of the: grape has not yet settled down into a permanent condition, The preferred varieties of table grape ,are. tare, and,.command; much higher; prices than they. will when the supply is equal.to the demand. Now they pay from $300 to $600 net per acre annually, a rate which; of courge, can not be maintained. Many ‘of the vineyards are so remote from market that the grapes can not be sold for the table, nor can the wine bear the expenses of transportation. .The Government ‘burdens on the distillation of brandy are-oppressive co the extent of prohibition ; and the production of raisins is prevented by high wages, and the lack of the proper facilities for drying.’ AU these evils will be corrected in a few years, and after they are, vine culture . ‘will assume a fixed character. The vineyards of Vaca. Valley, are _almost exolusively occupied with the growth of grapes for the table, because . they ripen there’ earlier than ‘in any . other part of the State, and the time to Sai Francisco isless than six hours. . Green, Napa, Sonoma‘and Santa Clara Valleys, and Sacramento and San Joa-. ~quin Counties are divided.between ; table and wine vineyards. The large towns consume large quantities of fresh grapes, obtained from the vicinity. Los Angeles makes wine, because she can _ “not afford to send her grapes to San Francisco for the table. Raisins will be made in all parts of the State, and especially on the southern coast and in the warmer valleys. The northern part ' of Napa has taken the lead in brandy so far, because it has hada larger stock of grapes rich in spirit, and bad access by rail to districts from which large quantities of grapes could be obtained. ‘The largest and handsomest: grapes of *California are grown in the foot-hills of ‘the Sierra. Nevada; and ‘they will in time probably take much more prominent place in gtape-growing industry than they occupy at present. State ScHoo, Matrers.—The Report of Superintendent Fitzgerald, on school matters is brief, and iéontains very little information of interest to the public. He promises to add; after the amendments are made, other statistical matters, in another edition of the schoollaw. The report is certainly incomplete without the statistical tables, and should never have been issued until they could have been published. From the brief abstrgct. published, we learn that there are 1,354 public schools in the State, an increase of 126. There are 726 female and 962 male teachers, making a tutal of 1,687 in the State. The statistics of attendance are as follows: Boys enrolled, 36,080, girls 34,674, total 78,754, an increase of 7,926 over 1868. The average nuniber be. longing was 56,715, average daily attendance 49,802, new school houses built 180.: The’ valuation Of school property is given as follows; Lots, . Suez Canal. ing in the sum and packing. When -eured, the weight-was-teduced—to-125 ‘pounds, and at the present price of _rai‘Sins, the proprietors get eight cents per pound for all the grapes raised. The vines bore heavily this season, fifty-two pounds having been gathered from four stalks. The raisins have a. splendid . flavor and are equal to thé best Malaga, but they are not so large as they. will -be-when-the vines are a little older: —It . would be well for those who are setting out vines to ascertain the best varieties for raisins and plant some with a view ta their production, [t is sure to be come an important and profitable business in this State, Tut Oyster ‘FRADE.~The Baltimore Gazetté reports the oyster trade at'that “port livélier’ than’ ever before. There are 569 vessels engaged im bring-ing oysters from the, Chesapeake and its tributaries to that city eight months in the year,and they-freight.in theaggregate 4,000,000 bushels per year, giying employment to 4,000 seamen and oystermen. There are in the city. 100 packing houses,employing 5,000 people, the greater part of whom are females. The manufacture of the cans is an important branch of the business, but many of the large establishménts make part of their own.eans, while a number of establishments ‘do nothing else.— With the machinery used for cutting, two men can keep twenty or thirty soldering. _-_ PotiticaL.—It is said Chancellor of the Port of San Francisco, being recommended by Sargent and Cole.
