At Petwortb House, the seat of Lord Leoonfield, in
I the midst of the lawn and pleasure grounds, between
the kitchen garden and the boom, there Is • gigantic
dragon coiled upon the gram. His formidable folds are
twined about an apple-tree, and hal extends from that
central spot 350 feet. This scaly monster sheds his
skin several times during the year. In spring he may
be men bright with Crocuses, early Tulips, &low-
drops, primenees, polyanthuses, forget-me-nots. pansies,
Baismarias, pendulsa, and other early-flowering
plants. At the present time he is gor sous with
various kinds of bedding plants. His formidable back-
bone ia well done in roses, his eyes glare with
Koheveria and Alternanthera : his jaws are repre-
sented by lifesembryanthenituns • claws of the NUM
firmly grip the turf; the nail; are well defined;
Iresine la used freely; there are teeth of white
Cerastium ; the beard is of Ivy, and • darting red
tongue is simulated by Alternanthers. The Dragon
of Petworth is a work of much art and ingenol.y.

WHEAT BECONfEsi OF DEAD HORSES?

To the Editor.
Sir,—My attention has been lately drawn to the
fines that has been justly inflicted on some of the
horse-owners at Portland, for driving, &c. these
animals when in an unfit state for work.
It is very offensive to see the mere frames of horses
that have to pull heavy loads up the hills but even
after theoe horses die the o wners still allow the CAICIV4
to be offensive to the rwtepayers. On Saturday last a
horse died at Portland, the akin was taken from the
carcase, and the remains were then 4eiswited in a field
within • stone's throw of about 30 or 40 horsea. In this field
there are numerous pigs, and the remains of the horse
(a ghastly objectl are allowed to stay within sight of
the ratepayers for several days, until the pigs h.ve
devoured the flesh. This horse, having died, the
question arises whether these pigs, after eating such
flesh, are fit to be killed for human fowl. The owner
of the,.pigs is very careful to keep the disgusting sight
away from his own premise., at the same time he pr,i-
vides • class of meat that sells well, although for the
future I shall lie very careful what pig's meat is
brought to my reeilence. In life they are offensive to
the sight, and in death they provide the food we eat.
Your obedient servant,

Frampton v. Sontag was a claim against • gentleman
for Cl 13a., balance of an account of Cl 1.3 e for hire of •

H Mr. anne appeared for MO% Mr. Pally Hooper for
defendant—Plaintiff hay deposed to his account's
correctness, was cro..-eo.amlned by Kr. Hooper as to
whether he did not rend in two accounts about this
matter. Plaintiff said yes, be lid; Mr. /docent lost one
hill, and asked him to send another, which he did.—Mr.
Hooper said the bills did not agree, and pared them to
his Honour ; but the Judge rid they only disagreed in one
being made out to • Mier date and haring the additional
charge for the further time. In answer to Mr. Hooper
plaintiff further said he left the stable in charge of Mr.
Hawkins ; but the latter did not receive payment • hen the
pmy was brought in.—Mr. Hooper milled Mrs. Mond,
the actual defendant not being present—The Judge did
not see bow the lady could contradict the claim—Mrs,
Manua was, however, sworn, and and she disputed the
balance of account, because the charge for the pony was
paid, every time it was brought in--i3d, or la , according
to what the pony had. It was paid either to Mr. Frampton
or his brother, by herself, Mr. Kraut. or her outer, Miss
Parnell. She dui not always pay Mr Frampton; they
sometimes paid Kr. Hawkina Oroa-exanained : Mr.
Morant paid the 43 by cheque, the net they always
disputed. Could not say whether she had been living
from March till May at Portland; was not certain when
she left Could not say how many items she had paid
herself, nor the total of what she had paid. The pony and
trap did not come in every day, sometimes only once a
week.—Plaintiff, in answer to the Judge, said sometimes
Mr. Morant came in, and sometimes Mr. Morant, with
her eider, Mr Parnell. The stable was his, and not Mr.
Hawkins's ; the latter wee in charge—Rio Honour mid no
doubt the lady was speaking the truth to the best of her
knowledge and belief; but really she had not the same
means of knowing what was paid or unpaid, as plaintiff
had. Why did not Mr. Moira attend I—Mre. Morant
He has not the ability of attending Court —The Judge

A fanner in Essex has this year grown on ten acres
of land a crop of fifteen quarters of wheat. The corn
was greatly injured by the wet erenther, and sold at
the low price of 24a. per quarter. The return was.
therefore, at the rate of 38a. per acre—probably about
enough to pay rent, tithe, and taxes.

The following letter has been read by His Worship:
—" My dear Mr. Mayor,—l find it otated in the
somtAtrn rine: that I an • candidete for the seat on
the Counci!, about to be vacated by Dr. Drew. If it
to the intention of any of my friends to nominate me.
I thoroughly appreciate their kindness, but write at
once to you to Bay that. while I am deeply sensible of
the honour which they wool I confer upon me, it is
quite impossible for ma to devote that time, which is
abooolutely necessary t I carry out the duties of the
office, if elected. lam quite aware that this is an
irtant crisis in the history of our town, and that
it is necessary that practical clear-heade 1 men of
business should be electel to the C outwit, at the Came
time it must be those who are able to devote some
spare time to the duties. I feel that in Dr. Drew we
have such a Man, And I most sincerely hope that he
may be inducel again to place his oervites at the
disposal of the town, and that he will not only be
returned again to the Council, but that he will also be
elected to fill the office of chief magistrate during the
Important period which is immediately before us. I
cannot conclude this letter without expressing my
unqualified approval of the manner in which you are
proposing to act—viz., to cal in an eminent scientific
man to advise as to the drainage, but this scientific
man, I feel m at strongly. should be an eminent
engineer, and not a chemist. Although I cannot
devote the time necesaaty for the office of Town
Councillor, it would at any time give me great pleasure
to confer with my friends am to the atop which, in my
opiaiou, should be taken in reference to the drainage
or any other matter which will condone to the
prosperity of our town.—Believe me, my dear Mr.
Mayor, yours faithfully, G. H. CRICEMAT.—To John
