Virginia's Agrimltura I Imt list l ies. All Virginia is good for fruit, and from colonial times to this a steady progress has been made in enlargements of her production. Nurseries in (he earlier days were few, but now they are abun dant, and some of them are con j ducted with preat enterprise.— Improved and quick trnnsporta i lion, of course, has much to do with the success, ami where that i is rapid, no step backwards has occurred. Why could not as much he said for ali that has been in vested in vineyards t Beyond the luscious living the grape afiord% and some prolit a few have real ized who can ship the fruit for ta hie use to the larger cities, no permanent advantage, Imt rather loss in the aggregate, is the re sult. Almost every person who | commenced to make wine for market has abandoned the enter | prise. In Warren counlv, a very large establishment where the finest grades of wine and brandy i were produced, has recently sue combed with a wreck of invest inent. The outfit in buildings, j fixtures, vaults and cellars was ! superb. The proprietor is a gen Genian of excellent position and associations, and a worthy repre sent alive of those who make grand and successful schemes, and it is a matter of genaral re gret. that one so deserving and an enterprise so laudable should i even for a while meet, with Iron j tiles and difficulties. In the new tiold of develojt ment in canning fruits anti vege til bios bold and successful efforts have demonstrated that there is much latent wealth for Virginia in it. To work it iij, the coni mcnecment clearly indicates no lack of capital or skill. Below Richmond, in less than an hour's ride on the railroad, the historical Paimmky river is cross ed near the place where General Washington lingered after his in I rod net ion to Mrs. Curtis. Then come the possessions and shall ties of the remnants of the Pa intinky t.rihe of Indians, who still exist, and after that Lest or Ma nor, the largest tomato garden in the South, if not elsewhere. The acres thus in cultivation have long since gone into the hundreds and are annually enlarged. The buildings and fixtures tire com plete and the entire establish meat moves on in good order. I have not at hand statistics of the production ai Lestor Manor nor of t he points to which they tire ship ped, but some lime since they were made in quantities to Eu rope and all parts of the United States. 'The proprietor is John B. Davis, of Richmond ; he is a brother of the West Virginia Uni ted States Senator. Mr. Dtivis is front Maryland, but came to Vir ginia when a youth. He worked hard, and by his industry became a capitalist. Away ti|> in the valley in Bote tourt county it similar enterprise to that at Lestor Manor grew into large proportions before the peo ple round about knew much as to its existence. When the Scotch Irish came up the valley in colo nial.times, fixing their habitations and laying out the towns, some two of the nationality which pitched their dwellings on Man liattan island came along, and an other Amsterdam was founded up here in the mountains which still possesses its time honored identi ty As in Rockingham and |>arls of Augusta, so Botetourt county had, as well as Franklin, ils set tlenient of Dnnkards, a qniet, frit gal, industrions population. Eve ry good thing that, can come from honest, (oiling labor and husban dry is certain to be rewarded to them, as where they abound the courts anti lax collectors have lit tie trouble. A young man of this persuasion, the son of a well to do gentleman, who is versed in the ecclesiastical departments of the association, planted large or chardtt of peaches with a view of canning the fruit, which lie lias done for several years with good profit. This year he has planted many acres with the right kind of corn for canning purposes. Mr. Mooman is also engaged in a stock company with Mr. Willard of Ro [Subscription, SI Chester, N. Y.; Allison &i sonuijvcalthy firm of Ri<| who deal in seeds and !( ■ and Franklin Davis, <4f 111 city, in an extensivjeqfear r in Surrey county.
