Great Grape Vine.—At Oxford, Md. in the yard of Mr John Willis, is a grape vine of enormous extent and fruitfulness. The owner and some of his neighbors recently counted the clusters, as well as they could. From the American Farmer we learn, that they counted twenty five thousand one hundred and ten bunches, one third or nearly half of them are double bunches and only counted as single bunches. The vine is commencing its seventh year's growth, and the stem is only from nine to ten inches in circumference. One limb was up a fruit tree so high that it could not be counted. The vine covers a large part of the yard in an espalier form, and has run up four fruit trees.
