"A leaf was brought to our office yes
terday which was taken from a polOnia
plant that is at present growing at Mr..
Jacobs place on b NOncOnnah road,
that measures thirty-four inches seross
and thirty-twO lengthWise. The tree was
brought from South America, Of whiohsit
is a native. It has been planted here only
a few months and Is now fourteen feet
high, and covered With those enormous
leaves. For purposes Of shade this tree is
unrivaled. Il is ssid that the foliage not

skill is chrOnicled in the Louisville pa

years Of age. while playing on the stair
way Of the Gait House, fell 3 distance OF
seventy feet, alighting upon q stone floor,
from which he was raised apparently 3
nfeless, shspeless mass. In the course OF
his fall he struck q projecting corner OF
the staircase, breaking an inch board
across the grain, and further down he
struck and broke an oak baluster sn
inch In diameter. Numerous fractures
and q terrible scalp wound were pro-
duced by this frightful fall. The right
arm was crushed into pieces above and
below the elbow, both legs were broken
at and near the ankle joints, and inDum-
cradle cOntusiOns were received al over
the body. Notwithstanding these dread
full injuries, under skillful surgical care
the child not only recovered, but now has
q perfect use of all his limbs.
