 'Jimny'sH chief troubles, just now, are caused by the wolf. and by the burrs which adhere to his heavy coat. And often enough these two causes of annoyance work together. Made un- comfortable by the burrs, the bear will sit on his launches, and using his long front claws as a comb, he will work away steadily until the wolf sneaks up behind and gives him a sly nip, when with an angry cough, he will turn and give chase to the coyote. The latter is very calm over it, and, neatly avoid ing the mad rush of the bear allows the latter to slow up, turn clumsily round, and make another rush, which of course is avoided like the first. After Jimmy usually escapes his tormentor by climbing tree. or by craving un- der the piazza, stronghold which the wolf has more sense than to enter,
 "Jimmy's' relations with the lawn are more pleasant, though there is sometimes clashing of interest. They are both fond of bread, and when bread is served neither one of them is absent if he can help it. If the deer gets slice which is too large for him, he daintily chews one end of it, and gradually draws the rest of it in. But unless the bear happens to be very much occupied, he promptly seizes the end which is protruding, and, pulling, the slice away, gobbles it up himself; and the deer, as though to reprove him for his selffishness, will often strike him smartly on the head with sharp fore hoof. But Jimmy" seldom re- sents such a blow. Perhaps he does not care to take the trouble, or perhaps he allows it, for the reason given by a certain strong man, who when asked why he allowed his wife to pumnel him, replied, It pleases her, and it dou't hurt me" Now and then, how ever, the bear will seek friendly bout with the deer, but the latter usually takes great pains to keep out of reach at such times. If, when in a playful mood, the bear sees the fawn walking on the piazza, he is almost sure to make rush, as though with the inten- tion of C rrefing his agile playfellow. But "Actaeon'' is not to be caught in this way. for taking quick stride or two, he clears the rail at a bound and IS soon half way round that garden while "Jimmy" stops and turns his head in another direction, as though the deer were the very last thing on earth likely to occupy his attention. A first the fawn was much afraid of the young wolf. and would dash away at first sight of him, and, often as not the wolf would pursue with every frl- tention of doing the little deer an ir- jury. But there came a day when the deer did not run, and, after the wolf had nipped it slyly from behind sever al times, something suddenly har Ed. The hitherto gentle fawn tunr, on his tormentor, and though the latter ran off at his pace, he was pursued and quickly overtaken, knocked down and hammered unmercifully with the fore feet Q fthe lawn, who with tail and ears erect, danced over the body of his antagonist, and would surely have killed him had not considered 1t time to interfere.
 Gentle and courageous as the fawn is he is as high strung. as ever, and some tlmes his nervousness causes him to do astonishing things. Yesterday while we were at dinner, something startled the little fellow, and he leaped right through 3. closed window into the room. alighting on the floor amid a cascade of glass He was slightly cut in two or three places, but otherwise none the worse for his unusual performance,
