February 182 deeds were recorded in the
office of the Chancery Court of this city.
In the Henrico County Court 77 deeds
were recorded.

fire during the month of February.
Virginia Wines? An Inspection of the
McCakty Vineyard.? By special invitation
a party, composed of several members of the
City Council, city officials, and other gen- j
tiemen, proceede'd Friday afternoon to the
vineyard of Dr. J. B. MeCarty, situated near
Oakwood Cemetery, and there spent a cou
ple of hours enjoying the hospitality of the |
Doctor, inspecting his vineyard and wine
cellar, and testing the qualities of the vari
ous wines manufactured by him. The uuHui
raous verdict was that the domestic produc
tions of the grape its put up by Dr. MeCarty
were decidedly superior to anything Hereto
fore seen. His wines bear favorable com
parison with those of France and other
wine-producing countries, and his efforts to
make the culture of grapes and the produc
tion of pure domestic wines an established
institution in our State merit every encour
agement.
Dr. MeCarty has nearly thirty acres of land
in his vineyard, seventeen of which are al
ready in vines. Ten of the seventeen acres
are now bearing fruit, and last year, be
sides selling a large quantity of grapes, 5,000
gallons of wine were made therefrom. Four
thousand gallons are now stored in the cellar,
ranging in age from two to three years.
From the grapes raised four kinds of wine
are made? counterparts of the pure and light
claret, the more substantial and heavy Ma
deira, and the pleasant white wines from
which the sparkling champagne is produced.
The Doctor has spent the labor of seven
years in briugiug bis vineyard to its present
conditiou. ______________ ___

Danforth, chairman; R. E. Armstrong, secre
tary. ' Reports were made for east Malu
street district by J. L. Maury and J. W.
Shields ; amouut collected, $135.45. From
west Main street district by II. D. Danforth
and J. M. Stevens ; amount collected, $1S1.
From east Franklin street district by Mr.
Anderson ; amount not specified. From

The committee ha3 only partially com

vided ; and a very large portiou of tbe city
has not been districted at all. The commit
tee would therefore urge on the ministers
who have not appointed solicitors the neces
sity of making such appointment.
The Theatre ? On Saturday night Mr.
E. L. Davenport closed his engagement at
the Theatre ; and if his appearance in Rich
mond was not profitable, it was not because
he failed to present tbe characters he at
tempted in the most masterly style of the
actor's art, but was principal!? due to the
fact that those same plays have been placed
upon the boards of the Richmond Theatre
several limes this winter, and the theatre
going public is too limited in numbers to
supply a lull audience for that class of plays
for more than two or three nights in a sea
son, unless there be some unusual attendant
attraction.
Tc-night Miss Katie Putnam commences
an engagement, and the hou.-:e will be filled.
The gieat public prefers something lighter
than ponderous Shakespearean tragedies,
even though interpreted by a monarch ot
the modern staije. Miss Putnam appears
to-night as " Little Nell" in " I he Old Cu
riosity Shop."
Hon. J. Wyatt Ajxek, cf Sou'.Ii Carolina,
will deliver a public nddrers at the concert
room of the Exchange JTctcl oi? next Thurs
day night. Mr. Aiken v?iil explain the ob
jects of the Patrons of Husbandry, ucJ ali
who are interested in the great farmers'
movement are privileged to attend.

Stale Treasury on Saturday was

Means of Clearfn? it?
As an addendum to " Pharmaceutist's "
lengthy article on the above subject, lot me
say : Take a lump of alum as large as a man's
thumb, tic a string to it, draw it up and
down twice slowly through a lai^e pitcher
of water,? say two gallons? and the thing is
done. In an hour, or perhaps less, the
water will be clear, regardless of cubical
theories and what James river contain?.
Practice.
[For the Dispatch.]
The Trees and Grass ef K?c"snaon??.
Richmond is full of trees, yet it is rare to
find one sound and healthy. This is owing
partly to their roots being obstructed by
pavements, partly to the numerous injuries
they receive, partly to the increased heut anci
dust of town, but more to the manucr in j
which they have been allowed to grow.
They are usually set out with a very Icn^
body, having a lew short branches on top,
and the subsequent trimming continues to
develop long trunks and branches. Tbe
sap (the blood of the tree), in its long course
of circulation from root to leaf, becomes
heated and impure, and the whole tree soon
assumes a prematurely old and diseased ap
pearance. Many of these trees can never
be much improved, aud should be replaced
as soon as practicable. A large number can
be renovated by a system of trimmiBg called
"shortening in," and the great damage done
to them by the late sleet gives a fair oppor
tunity to "commence it. It is not necessary
in this article to describe the process; those
wishing to pursue it will employ a compe
tent arborist.
Those who wish to raise healthy trees
should set them out with less length of
body and more limbs, and suffer the first
limbs to grow about five feet from the
ground. If a regular and judicious system
of pruning is then followed, tbe tree will as
sume a beautiful pyramidul shape, and be
lull of strong, healthy limbs and greeu
leava*. The sidewalk is some twelve feet
in width, and most of trees might be made
to shade an area of eighteen feet, and allow
ample room under their limbs lor pedestri
ans with umbrellas.
The importance of trees as depurators of
the atmosphere, to say nothing about their
beauty, should make us desire a healthy
growth. The animal expires carbon and in
spires oxygen, the trees absorb carbon and
give out oxygen, aud are thus continually
furnishing new breathing material to our at
mosphere and destroying deleterious agents,
aud their efficiency In this process is in pro
portion to their number of green, healthy
leaves. . z .
We have two squares In our city covered
with some green ;?ward, wire-grass, and wild
onions. The bcauiifu! green, .velty yards all.
over Virginia prove conclusively that it is
not the soil or climate which produces such
a result. Governor Wise Pwore with a great 1
oath that he would exteruruiate the wiid
onions on the Capitol Square, yet they re
main in countless numbers; and wire-srass.
largely predominates in Monroe Park. Fine,
green sward cannot be kept on land with
out pressure, and the beat pressure is the*
hoof of animals. Whenever land is not
grazed the soil becomes loose and puffy, and
grows coarser grasses, weeds, and bushes.
A few Alderncy cows, deer, Southdown
sheep, and rabbits would adorn and improve
the Capitol Square, and a wire-screen fence
on the inside of the present enclosure would
keep them in and keep out the dogs, Iheir
natural and implacable enemies. The beau
tiful green sward, spread out like a carpet
over the earth, is also a depurator of our
atmosphere, furnishing new breathing mat
ter, and destroying the deleterious agents ro
abundant in cities. Science has fully de
monstrated .that we may prevent diseases
whi(ili cannot be cured, and we should che
rish those agents so kindly given us by Na
ture to beautify our.worldas well as make it
more healthful. Tuckahoe.

Exhibition of Holly Water-Works.
A WONDERFUL DISPLAY.
TESTS NEVER BEFORE ATTEMPTED IN
THIS OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
WATER COMMITTEE, PLEASE READ.
fFrom Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat, February 19. J 1
AT TI1E GREAT PARIS EXPOSITION
of 1S67 a display of an apparatus for throw
ing water for fire and other purposes was
made, the result of which was deemed ex
traordinary, and it was flashed by telfR'-aph
all over the civilized world. What was it?
Simply that a two-inch stream bad been
thrown to a height of 250 feet. Nothing of
the kind had ever been done before, but it
will be seen from the official figures piven
below that a height of 297 feet was attorned
vesterday by a stream of double the diame
ter. Though subjected 'to the severest tests
vesterdav in order to bring about such re
sults the machinery of the Holly work?, m
its every part, was found equal to every re
quirement, and there is every reason to be
lieve that it is the best of its kind ever put
up. It is considered by men of the greatest
experience that the display of yesterday
transcended in every particular all others of
the Holly, or any other system that have
ever taken place, either in'this country or in
Europe.
After telling of various experiments, the
Democrat says :
An opening had been left in the street,
which when not in use is covered with a
ti^ht-fitting iron plate. By means of this
opening a pipe of peculiar shape was fas
tened to the main in the bed below. This
pipe was fitted with moutli-pieces of differ
ent sizes, and its position or angle of execu
tion could be altered at pleasure. The first
exhibition given with this apparatus was the
FOUR-INCH HORIZONTAL STREAM.
If the exhibitions previously given were
such as to call forth praise and admiration, J
the one given by this stream was, in truth,
most astonishing. After it had been playing |
only a few minutes every one thought it
was doinpj splendid work. They thought,
however, it had reached the lull extent ot
its power, and the crowd began to elo*e up
to it Of this they soon after repented, as
with a spring the water shot suddenly tor
ward and continued to increase its distance
until the astonishing sight was presented
of a four-inch stream issuing from a pipe,
'trehin"- trracel ully in the air, andstrikiUfj the
ground at a distance of 4UU feet from the
point of starting.

The horizontal stream was shut oil and
the delivery- pipe raised to a vertical posi
tiou The water was then immediately le
on, and the stream crept gradually up until
the great height of 285 feet was reached.
the four-inch vertical stream.
Cutting off the three-inch stream, the
mouth-piece was removed, and another one
adapted for a four-inch delivery fastened in
its place. Soon another fine stream, four
inches in diameter, was seen mounting m
the air. This stream reached the extraordi
nary height of 297 feet. After it had played
its allotted time the water was shut off, the
nozzle changed, and in a few minutes the
great
FIVE-INCH VERTICAL STREAM
was In operation. It would seem hardly
credible that a .stream of water five inches iu
diameter could be forced by any system of
machinery to a height far above the one-inch
streams thrown by fire-engines. Neverthe
less '?uch was the ease, as thousands of peo
nlo 'witnessed to their infinite wonderment
Hud surprise. The height reached by this
stream was 250 feet. Some idea of the force
with which the water was thrown may be
learned from the fact that two or three
stones the size of a man's fist, which had in
some manner got into the pipes, were thrown

The highest steam-pressure applied at tbe . r
works was eighty pounds. In each case the
engineer in charge, F. W. Holly, begin by a
pressure of twenty pounds, and in the ease
or the single exhibition-streams, in- -
creased the pressure so slowly that nearly
every spectator thought- it would prove im
possible to force such volumes of water to -
so enormous aa altitude. But as the pressure
was applied the streams rose bodily into the
air until the observers would hardly Kave r
been astonished to see all the water* in the.
race sucked in to be thrown in one enormous <
column high over roofs and towers and flag
stafi^, and the eagles which looked heaven- "
ward from their tops. The masses of water
forced to these great heights seemed infused ^
with a positive determination not to ascend.
They rose unwillingly second after second
till, as the force behind them grew over
whelming, they suddenly seemed to spring- ;
of themselves into the clear blue sunlit can
opy, and thenceforth each separate dropout
strove the other in the endeavor to Ieavo the
dull earth farther nnd farther below.
AT THE WATER-WORKS.
The water enters the wheel through gates
at the circumference, which gates are regu*
htcd from above bj' means of proper geer
lug, also connected with the regulator^ which
are remarkable productions of inventive
geuiup. One of theso is a hydrostatic pres
eure-gauce, by means of a regulator connect
ing the demand for water with tho supply, >
so that the demand is supplied by self-resru- ~
latins: machinery. Thus the person in charge
of the works is notified in an instant when
extraordinary power and more water (&"
fi.e or other purposes is demanded fn ;nny 4
part of the city, and also by this regulator ?*
the motion of the machinoiy is so con
trolled, without the intervention of any hu
man aid, that the supply of water called for
is at once furnished. Another is a contri
vance wlrich regulates the pressure upon the
scrvice-pipcs in dwelliugs and other places
when the machinery, is being worked up to a
fire-pressure. I'his regulator is so constructed
that in any ciise when an extraordinary pres
sure L< required in the mains, as in time of
lire, this valve will close, sothat-the oressure
on the service-pipes in the houses is not in- ?
creased, and it is also so constructed that .
it will furnish water if wanted in such
houses during such time of extraordU'
nary pressure on the mains, and will-again
close without an increaee of pressure on
such pipes. Still another contrivance
is a water safety-valve, so constructed that
it from any cause, as, for iustauce, the sud
den closing of one or more hydrants, the
extraordinary pressure from tbo recoil
is removed and the water allowed to escape -
UDtil the reaction has slowed the machinery,
by the action of the hydrostatic pressure*
regulator, and the pressure brought to the
required standard. Were it not for this
coutrivanco the recoil of the water from the
sudden closing of the hydrants would he so
great that it would be impossible to Jay pipes
that could withstand the extraordinary
pressure. -
Simmons'* Confirmation.
Correspondence is now published by the
opponents of Simmons showing the efforts
made to cause the President to withdraw the
nomination, urging upon him that it was
not In accordance with sound policy or party
usages, nor with the wishes of the majority
of the Massachusetts delegation, but was ir
regularly brought about by one man, General
Kutler; that it was unlit and against the in
terests of the mercantile community, tho >
great Republican party, and the wholo coun
try. The President, however, did nothing,
and after the fight was over in the Senate
and the opponeuts of Mr. Simmon9 found
themselves defeated they telegraphed the re
sult to Boston :
"The tight here is over. Tho fight at
home is to come. We propose to keep the
Republic j n party of Massachusetts where .
Governor Andrew left it."
EFFECT IN BOSTO.V, .* .
A dispatch from Boston, to-night, says:
" The continuation of Simmons to the Boston
collectorsbip was received too late to bccomo
generally known over the city, but was can
vassed with much liveliness at ho-'els, clubs,
and public resorts during the evening. If
not a surprise it was certainly unlookcd for
by tlio>e who had read earlier dispatches
from Washington on the subject/'
