learn that Mr. Giles Symonds, aucti .neer, of Sydlinc,
met with a mishap whilst huntin; in the neighbour-
hood of Plush 0,1 Friday. Although sustaining rather
severe injorie. it is hoped that in a few daya he will
be .uftimently recovered to attend t • hie bodiless.
WITH her wonted kindness, Mrs. Gnon'ry, of
Syrilln4 Court, gave a liberal supply of beef at
Christmas to all the poor of the pariah. The most
needy poor also received a regular allowance of

ness on the part of the Gundry family endear them
to the poor, and make th-ir reeidenoe at the Court •

JUMBO IN HIS NEW HOME.

Some interesting particulars are given by Mr. W. B.
Tegetmeier in the Pieid about the conduct of the
elephant Jumbo. in America :—" One of the latest
account* I have received ia that contained in the
Bri *sport (Conn., 4.5.) Evatiny Partner of November
13, 1882—Bridgeport being the winter headquarters
of 8.131102%1 celebrated menagerie. Jumbo t 401/4 it
Into his head one night recently that he would like a
little more liberty, so be braced himself up, and,
placing his head against the aide of the building, walked
through it as easily as lilt were tri.de of paper. His
compartment in the elephant quarters had been
.pectithy prepared f a hie reception on his return from
• travelling show, it being overlaid with planks crossed
arid recroas-d, spiked and bolts I together, until
a wall nearly a fo ,t thick hod been fo -toed ; but
Jamho prized off the boards with his tusks which
have grown s nue inches beyon i the surf ice since be
has left England, and maile an opening through which
he walked with the grestest ease. His prodigious
strength has been abundantly exeroissd in hi. now
location. He is described as en .pviug beams six
inches square with the greatest ease, and it is stated
that to pr t any further excursions on his pat, the
building has been repair .d with stout.r pinnies and
Ig., which are used es oblique strata on the outside.
The article conclude. by the statement that -uch little
freaks, however pleasant for the animal, are most
expensive and troublesome to his owners. 'rim privste
amounts that have r 'ached us are rather more peo-
n mucai. By them I learn that Jumbo not long since
was in what his present owners term his 'tantrum,.'
In his travelling car is a c .mpsrtaie t in which Scott,
whole still his keeper, deeps at night. On one 4n-ca-
lion Jumbo, to use the exoression in which the &Hsi!.
won represented to me, ' went for the compartment,
which w s crushed up like a luctier mstcubox, his
tusks making indentations in the ehle of the car, but
tot tunetely missing Scott's boy. As it was necessary
that Jumbo should be convinced thst be was not
master of the situation, his hind feet were nobbled,.
and by the aid of a couple of the other elephants iu

BRADFORD PEVERILL.

Winn FLowsalea naves.— Amongst the occu-
pants of the stove, Kupkorbia jacquinbeflors justly
claims a foremost place as a winter flowering plant,
forming, ea it does, its long floral wreaths or bright
orange-scarlet flowers through the winter months.
With many, perhaps, white fhwers are in great
demand at chi* time of year; but this old plant will
amply repay any amount of care bestowed upon it.
To obtain a stock of young plants, take one that has
had a rest after flowering, and introduce it into a
little beat in the month of April, when it will soon
put forth side shoots from the old wood. When these
are about three inches long, take thrall off with • heel
of the old wood, insert them in pots, cover with bell-
glasses, and plunge them in • bAtom heat of about 15".
In a fortnight or three weeks they will be nicely
rooted, and may be potted off in • compost of good
fibrous lowa and pest in equsl puts, with a little
broken charcoal and silver sand added. Keep them in
a little heat until well established and the weather
gets warmer, when they may be transferred to an
ordinary greenhouse, and be grown on in the full inn,
syringing them daily to keep down red-spider, and
potting and picchiog as required. When the nights
begin to get c lii, remove them to their winter quarters;
they will 6 iwer well in a temperature of 60' when In
their flowering pots. Supply occasionally weak liquid
manure-water, male of soot and fresh horse-droppings. Poinsettia palcherrima may also jointly claim atten-
tion now. It may be said that this old favourite is
universally grown; but it is not in every place that
you will find it grown as it should be. What affords
• more cheering sight in the dull days of winter than
to see • house lighted up with their well-developed
bright wallet bracts, measuring from 16 to 20 inches
over, and all within a foot of the rims of the pots,
and the (Aisne almost hiding the pots from view ?
