An English steamer. which arrived at

hid on board three giant chacmas, or
bhboons,' two crocodilcs, several monkeys,
and other specimens of the natural history
of the country. The balloons were very
ferocious, and possessed of great strength.
For their safe custody, strong den with
iron bars was provided and placed near

paused for. q moment, and in dignified
manner surveyed his captors. A rope
having been got, a moose was formed and
cast over his head, and he struggled hard
to extrtqate himself, but without avail He
then attacked one Of the seamen, whom no

that several Of the men belabored him with

From the Boston Herald.
Several weeks ago number Of the yonng
people who reside in tho neighborhood OF
Snvin Hill, in Dorchester, came together
and Oh the spur OF the moment improvised
Il jumping match fora small purse, between
Mike Flynn and yonhg lnnn named Muir
ply. In this match Murphy was badly
worsted, ~wheroupon his sister -kHte,- "a
bright, strong and sprightly girl Of about
twenty; spmplers, became, very indignant,
and gave ont 10 her companions that she
could out jump Mike Flynn il her brother
could not.
Katie became very earnest In her assev-
erations, and to satiafy her match was
made fora puxSs Of SIS, and greatly to
the surprise of her friends when the match
came oifshe won it. This greatly shamed
the Flynn jumpist and his friends, so Miss
Kate was challenged to: another contest,
for 5000 side, which came off at Savin
tract, d quite q crowd 10 witness the sport,
not less than 400 people being present
Kate made her appearance dressed in flow
ing red flannel drawers, a Ia bloomcr, with
white merino shirt, and o pair of pretty
CATERS tightly laced to her feet. Mr.
Flynn was dressed nearly in the same man.
ner.y The. arrangements being all COM
pleted, tho exercises began, Flynn leading
off with q leap of ten feet and three. inches.
Katie then took her position; oheered ON by
her friends, and made the leap, clearing a
distance of ten feet four. and a half inches.
This created great excitement in the crowd,
and nerved up Kntie for something still bet
ter. The second leap was called for, when
Flynn came up to tho scratch aud cleared
ten feet seven inches. This was very long
jump, and the Flynn party felt greatly
encouraged. But Katie was again intro
duced, her friends cheering and feeling
confident that she would beat. Carefully
she placed her little gaiter boots on the
line. and straining every muscle in her
we'll knit frame, made the leap, cleAyins

following method Of packing corn for mar
kot is recommended by several market
gardeners, who supply large canning estab.
lishmepts: The ears of corn arc thrown
lndiscri intimately in q barrel, the number of
cars, however, being carefully kept, until
Ills filled within six oreight inches of the

number Of good large ears placed upright,
Inc point OF the cor downward. After these
19 aas ears are fitted in nicely, the butts arc
driven down with the fiat side Of q piece Of
board Two feet long by eight inches wide.

Picking Seed Wheat.

\ correspondent in the Cdnada Farmer,
writing on the subject of wheat growing,
offers the following:-"A important oper-
alton i'll the process of wheat sowing is too
often neglected-I allude to picking of seed.
First, it points out to us the bad grains
which may thus be removed, reducing the
percentage of lost seed; and secondly, it
strikes the root of smut and other fungi:
for it is these very imperfcctly formed
grains that are chiefly attacked by such
parasites. Now smut is found in the impcr-
feet grains. and in such small quantities as
botanists tell us that it is absorbed in the
"oot of the young plant, bursting out Il
Il short time after the caring, throws upon
it fungi, in the dark, rusty form with which
we are but too familiar. If we simply
steep our wheat in water, the light grains
which, though too light to be blown out by
the tanning mill, are imperfect, will rise to
the surface, and may be removed. If to
this water we add lime, We shall kill all
traces of smut. &C.. which may have chung
to the otherwise sound seed by contagion
with the imperfect grains. But let us
remember above all, that the most certain
prescription for the securing of good crops,
is change of seed; get your seed from a
different variety of soil. :
