FLOODS IN Worcestershire. The damage done in Worcestershire by the floods is very extensive, The river Severn overflowed its banks nearly the WllOle of its length, and at the con- fluence with the lerne the volume of water which has been distributed over the surrounding lands is very great. In the northern part of the county the river Stour has also done much mischief. At Kidder- minster the water came out into Mill-street, the main thoroughfare of the borough and locomotion, except by vehicles and boats, was for some time impossible. Some of the carpet mills were partially flooded, but the rapid rise of the waters had been carefully watched, and hundreds of men were engaged removing stocks out of the reach of the rising waters. The greatest consternation prevailed, as the residents feared a repetition of the disastrous flood of May, 1886, when many thousand pounds worth of damage was done. In a few hours, however, the river began to fall, and all danger was past. A massive wall, 100 feet long, and of great height, fell, wrecking a good portion of the road above which the wall had been erected to protect. On Sunday morning there ¡ were indications that the worst effects of the flood i had Of en experienced.

GARDENING FOR THE WEEK. STOVE.—Mr. Thomas Baines writes: For large houses or roomy conservatories big specimen plants are necessary but for structures of the size which amateurs usually have, medium-sized or small examples will be found best adapted, as by their use it is possible to have more variety and, in addition, small examples are better suited for the decoration of rooms—a purpose which has to be taken into ac- count. This being the case it becomes requisite each year to propagate a good number cf the various quick-growing subjects that bloom in spring and summer, and also those that flower later in the year. As a matter of course, the earlier the cuttings are struck the earlier the plants will bloom. These re- marks apply to such things as Lantanas, Fuchsias, Heliotropes, Abutilons, &c. A warm house gives great assistance in the cultivation of plants of this description, as by its use the propagation can be carried out months before it is possible to do much where greenhouse warmth is all that is available. Amateurs who have a house in which a temperature of 6U degs. can be maintained do not need a special propagating-house. With a house or pit that can be kept at something like the heat named, all that is necessary is to set apart a few feet of the stage over the pipes for the purpose. If the stage is composed of lattice work cover it with slates, and on these put cocoa-nut fibre, sand, or finely-sifted ashes, in which to plunge the cutting pots. It is best to enclose the space to be used in this way witb a light frame made of boards, covering it with a glazed light like an ordi- nary small hot-bed frame. Should a light not be at liberty loose sheets of glass will do laid on the top. It is needless to say the end of the house where the hot- water pipes enter, and which is consequently the hoti est, should be chosen for the purpose in question. There is no difficulty in striking large quantities of cuttings in a frame of this kind. A plant or two of the dillerent subjects mentioned ought to be cut in slightly and placed in the house: keep the roots moist enough to promote growth. At the same time care must be taken not to give too much water, as until some top-growth has been pushed the roots will not require anything near so much moisture as will be necessary later on. Syringe overhead every after- noon this will assist the production of the young shoots from which the cuttings are to be made. They ought to be ready to take off in about five or six weeks. To show the advantages which follow early propagation we may instance the profusely flowered, densely-clothed fuchsias in five inch or six inch pots which are to be met with each year by the end of April in Covent-garden Market. Before plants of the description under notice are started it is requisite to see that they are quite free from aphides, for if any of these insects are present they will increase rapidly in a genial, warm atmosphere. CvrEHrs.—C. laxus, C. alternifolius, and C. alter- nifolius variegatus, are distinct-looking plants that associate well with others, whether fine-leaved or blooming. They have handsome foliage, and are well adapted for room decoration their leaves, also, are very serviceable for use in a cut state. Where a stove or intermediate temperature can be afforded them their management is easy. If the conditions under which they are grown are of the kind that will suit them best, they make their growth earlier in the season than many things. When the plants have been used through the autumn in living-rooms and cool conservatories the old leaves usually begin to get shabby-looking about this time, and if they have filled the pots it will be as well to turn them out and divide them. Cyperus, for most purposes, are best when kept to about five-inch or six-inch pots; if they occupy this size, and are strong, each may be divided into three, giving each piece a pot similar in size. Either peat or loam, with some sand added, will grow them. When they are potted, put them in a warm house or pit, and they will begin to grow soon. Directly the young leaves are moving, let the plants have a position near the glass; by this means the growth will be kept stout, and not get drawn up weakly. Treated in this way, they will te much better able to bear standing in cooler places in the summer. By carrying out the division before there is any movement in the new growth the danger of injuring it is avoided. AsrAKAuus FI.CMOSUS.—Where it receives a little warmth in winter this Asparagus will keep on grow- ing. This being the case, whenever more room is re- quired it may be potted. Any half specimens, or young examples that have filled the soil with roots, may have a shift. Fots three or four inches larger than those they have had may be given. To get the plants on without loss of time they must not bo stinted for root-room. The drainage must be secured against the copious supply of water required by the plants washing the soil down into it. The beautiful elegant sprays of this Asparagus are unsurpassed for using in a cut state in floral arrangements. Not the least of their merits is the length of time they will last. IMPATIENS HAWKERII AND I. SULTANI.—Plants of these bright-looking Balsams that were struck in spring or the early part of summer, and have been well-managed, should be given moderate stove-heat. Treated in this way they will bloom on all through the winter. From their quick-growing, succulent nature, they require more light to keep them in ^oml condition than slower-growing things. They should be stood close up to the glass; so treated the growth will be kept from becoming drawn, and colour and substance will be imparted to the flowers. When the days get longer and lighter they will do further away from it. OUTDOOR GARDEN.—Mr. E. Hobday writes Calceo- larias, Fentstemons, and other plants not quite hardy in frames, must be matted up in frosty weather. Do not be in a hurry to remove the coverings for a day or two after the thaw has set in, as a plant slightly touched with the frost will take no harm if permitted to thaw gradually in the dark. Keep bedding plants wintered in heated structures, on the side of dryness, and only burn as much fuel as will keep out frost, as the cooler, short of being frozen, such plants are kept now the better. This refers only to the hardier kinds of bedding plants, such as Pelargoniums, Verbenas, &c. The more tender things, such as Coleus, Iresine, and Alternanthera, must be kept on a shelf near the glass in a warm house, where the night temperature does not fall much below 60 degs. Keep all plants free from dead leaves, and dust a little sulphur over Verbenas jf there is the least sign of mildew. In open weather all kinds of spring flowers may be planted. Beds of Violas, Daisies, Primroses, and Wallflowers are among the most cheerful things in spring, and are within the reach of the cottager if he is fond of his garden. No time should be lost now in getting in the remainder of the bulbs, always excepting Gladiolus and Ranun- culus, which had better be held over till February or March. As regards the Ranunculus, in most soils some special preparation should be made, and this is a good season to do the work. Dig the soil out a foot deep, place a layer of cow-manure in the bottom, and fill in with a mixture of sandy loam and leaf-mould or, if the ordinary soil is of good quality, if some old mellow hotbed manure is mixed with it, that may suffice. Let the bed remain exposed to the atmosphere till an open, genial time comes in Feb- ruary or March (and this should be waited for), then rake down the surface draw drills five inches apart, and two inches deep, and plant the bulbs, claws down- wards, four inches apart in the drills, sprinkling a little coarse sand in the drills just before covering them up. In the event of sharp frost setting in see that every plant at all tender has the necessary pro- tection, but do not coddle hardy things. FrnTr GARDEN.—Fruiting pines, especially those approaching maturity, must have a brisk temperature, but successions should be kept quiet till the days begin to lengthen. Very little water will be required now, and the atmospheric moisture should be reduced in quant itv. This is a good season to cart in fresh turf and stack it in a ridge-shaped heap ready for next year s use. The best soil for pines is the top two or three inches of an old sheep pasture. This mav be enriched as much as required, either, when carted in. by placing layers of manure in the heap to hlend with it, or it may be mixed when cut down for n-e. If bone-dust or artificials are used they will, of course, be mixed in on the potting bench. The sooner late vines are pruned now the better, and to this eie1, where there is a grape-room, the grapes yet hanging may be cut and bottled. If the grapes have been well ripened they will keep as well off the vines now as hanging in the vinery, and this will give an opportunity to get the house tho- rou-hlv (leaned and painted if it is required. In tho early peach house, where the buds are showing colour, discontinue syringing the necessary moist ure may be given by damping the paths occa- sionally on bright, days. Peaches are impatient of too much lire-heat; fifidecs. at night should not he ex- ceeded till the blossoms are set. In ventilating avoid cold draughts. Do not leave fruit-trees in pots to stand in the open air with the pots exposed, but place drv litter round them to afford shelter. To have ripe strawberries in March a start should be made now, but it is no use beginning thus early unless the plants have been well grown and ripened. This is an in- dication that the pots are well filled with healthy roots. Those who have the convenience for early melons may shortly sow seeds for the first crop, placing one seed in each 3-inch pot, and plunging the pots in a bottom-heat of 85 degs. When the plants reach the rough leaf stage shift into 48's, or 5-inch pots, and do not plant out till they are quite strong and robust. It is advisable to raise more plants than are required, as some may be weaklings. VEGETABLE GAKDEV.—Do not overcrop cucumbers in houses. If the plants are exhausted too much by bearing too many fruits at this season they easily fall a prey to insects. If the same plants are required to keep up a supply-say, till March—be contented with a few fruits till the days take a turn. As a rule, the most difficult time for cucumbers is about the end of January, when the influence of the ad- vancing light is being felt. If the plants are strong and vigorous they are benefited by the greater influx of light, but if weakly and exhausted the reaction frequentlv kills them. The beds cannot be too fre- quently top-dressed now; only a mere sprinkle is required; it sweetens the atmosphere and invigorates the foliage. Fresh turfy loam, enriched with manure, is the best compost, but be careful about introducing wireworms. At this season it is customary to re- arrange the plan of cropping for the coming season, and when the land is trenched and manured some regard for the fitness of-the situation for each crop should be ¡ observed. The seed lists are beginning to arrive, reminding one that the seed order must soon be made out. As a rule, practical gardeners of a long exper- ien-e do not go in much for novelties. They have t!ied many tilings, and have discovered the best in each class for their own particular soil and sitmtion, and, if they do not go as far as Solomon and say there is nothing new under the sun, they are chary of buying novelties. Still, progress is being made, and those who never buy a new variety of vegetable are apt to be left behind. Make a good supply of labels in bad weather to label the different crops as they are sown without this is done valuable information may be lost. Thick bits, a foot or so long, of Laurel, or other green woods, smoothed on one side, make very good labels for this work. Stake early Peas. Sow Cauliflowers and Lettuces in heat. WORK IN THE TOWN GARDEN.—" B. C. R." writes In very smoky localities any plants of an evergreen character, even the hardiest herbaceous subjects, will lie certain to suffer severely at this season if not covered with glass. Lilies, Delphiniums, and other deciduous plants will be all right; but whenever the air is very impure even such vigorous things as Sweet Williams. Canterbury Bells, Auriculas, and others of this class should, as far as possible, bo wintered iu frames, while for choice Carnations, and other florists flowers, such protection is absolutely necessary. it may, indeed, be laid down as an axiom that unless one is content with annuals and summer bedding plants alone (which last must, of course, in such 'a case be purchased anew every season) some amount of glass, in the form of either houses, or pits and frames, is an absolute necessity in the town garden proper-little or nothing can be done without it. Pansies it is almost impossible to preserve throughout the winter where the atmosphere is laden with smoke, and 'ho best and only way to manage these favourite sub- jects is to raise them freshly from seed sown in the spring each year; if sown in February they will commence blooming in Mayor June, or in July, if not started until the end of March or the beginning of April. Violas will succeed fairly well in open fpots in all but the worst localities, but these must be rrnpagated in the autumn, and wintered in a cold frame. Violets 1 cannot manage in town air at all, hut many may be glad to know that some good strong Trimrose roots, planted in a sunny frame early in the Rutumn, and carefully attended to, will afford an abundance of their pretty blooms throughout the greater part of the winter. In the greenhouse, plants ot all descriptions now require the greatest care, this being the most trying period of all the year fer small and delicate ones particularly. Endeavour, there- fore, to maintain a constantly sweet, buoyant, and genial atmosphere, to study cleanliness in the minutest particulars, and pay great attention to both watering and ventilation. Although it is a mistake :o unduly excite bedding and other plants that are now in a comparatively dormant state, yet I have found that very cool treatment is equally in- jurious, and even Zonals, kc., will succeed better in a temperature ranging from 45 degs. to 50 degs. than iinder really cool treatment. Primulas and other plants in flower should have the warmest and best positions, while Palms, choice ferns, &c ought to have a house to themselves, with at least 10 degs. more heat that I have indicated above.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH AT POPLAR. Mr. Baxter, coroner, opened an inquiry at Poplar town Hall on Saturday morning concerning the death of Benjamin Harris, 34, labourer, who met with his death under suspicious circumstances. He was taken to Poplar Work house on Boxing Pay in an uncon- scious condition, and died on the following day from injuries alleged to have been caused through being si-1 ii"k by a fellow lodger during a quarrel at Bow- cllallllwr", Bow-road. John Harris said he heard that his brother was seriously ill. He went to Bow- chambers and saw him on Monday. He said that he had been knocked about and struck with some sauce- pans. The witness went into the kitchen and asked who had injured his brother, and a man, called Tinker Lee, said I was one of the men who did it." The deceased also said, "Tinker Lee did it." He asked his brother why they struck him, and he said it was in a quarrel over some money that had been stolen from him. The fight occurred in the lodging-house on Sunday night. 0 His brother afterwards got out of bed and went to an adjoining public-house, where the witness left him. lie had several cuts about the head. Dr. Bowkett said he saw Benjamin Harr's at Poplar Workhouse on Wed- nesday. He was in a dazed condition, and smelt strongly of beer. The witness directed that he should be kept quiet. Next morning when he saw the man, he was breathing with difficulty, and he died an hour afterwards. Witness made a post-mortem examina- tion, and found 12 abrasions on the front and side of the body, a superficial cut over the right eyebrow, and another over the left. There was an abscess in the left lobe of the brain. Death was caused by blood poisouing through an abscess in the kidney, which must have been of some weeks' duration. Either abscess would accelerate death if the deceased got drunk or excited. No external violence had caused the abscesses. Alfred Burrows, deputy at the lodg- ing-house, stated that he found Harris on Sunday night lying on the floor of the kitchen. He was bleed- ing from a cut on the head, and several men were there. A row had been going on both up and down stairs. The witness sent for a doctor and the police. Flams was confined to his bed the following day, and the next day was delirious and had to be tied down. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.

DEATH OF VISCOUNT EVERSLEY. Lord Eversley died on Friday of last week, at Heck field, near Reading. The deceased nobleman, the Right Hon. Charles Shaw-Lefevre, D.C.L., was the eldest son of the late Mr. Charles Shaw-Lefevre, M P. for Reading (who assumed the name of Lefevre in addition to Shaw oil marrying a lady of that name, whose ancestors were among the Freie h refugee families that lied to England at the revocation of the Edict of Nantes), was born in Bedlord-square, l-'eb. ITU I, educated at Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in dui1 course, and was called to the Ba.r at Lineoln's-inn, but did not practise. In 1830 he was returned to the House of Commons for the now disfranchised borough of Downton, sat for Hampshire in 1831-2, and represented the northern division of that county from the passing of the Reform Act till his elevation to the peerage. He was chosen in May, 1830, Speaker of the House of Commons, in succession to the late Mr. Abercrombie (afterwards Lord Dunfermline), and retired after an IS years' tenure of office, in 1857. In this capacity his dignified and courteous demean- our, strict impartiality, and thorough acquaintance with the forms and rules of the House, secured him the confidence and respect of all parties, and ?ven under Sir R. Peel's Conservative Administration no attempt was made to substitute another in his place, though ho professed Liberal politics. His lord- ship, who was created Viscount Eversley on his retire- ment from the Speakership, April 11, 1857, was High Steward of Winchester, Governor of the Isle of Wight, honorary Lieut.-Colonel of the Hants Yeomanry, and an Aide-de-Camp to the Queen for the Yeomanry service, with the rank of colonel in that force. In 1858 he was appointed a Commissioner of Church Estates, which office he resigned in 1850, when ha was appointed an Ecclesiastical Commissioner.

THREAT TO SHOOT A TITHE COLLECTOR. At Denbigh on Saturday Thomas Lawrence Hill, gentleman farmer, of Llandyrnog. a well-known member of the Flintshire and Denbighshire Hunt, was charged with threatening to sbootCharles Ellis Jones, estate agent, of Hut hin. Mr. Jones said he was engaged to collect tithes for the Rev. David Williams, rector of Llandyrnog. and on the Otli of November he levied a distress on the goods of Mr. Hill, he being in arrears with his tithee. On Thursday he revisited the farm to realise, accompanied by Police-constable Tanner and his driver, Phillips. At the house he saw Mr. Hill, who asked for further time in which to pay the tithe. Witness declined, and said he must sell the stacks, whereupon Mr. Hill, with an oath, said he would take eare that no one took a stack from hio farm, and, angrily leaving his seat, took up his gun and examined it to see if it was loaded. Fearing what Mr. Hill would do, witness rushed out of the house, leaving his hat and papers behind. Phillips blew a whistle for the policeman, who had been left in the road, and he then ran up. Phillips proceeded to the stack yard to value the stack. Mr, Hill advanced towards witness, saying, I will shoot VOlL" Witness exclaimed, "For God's sake, spare me," and jumped behind the officer's back for pro- tection. Ilill then said, "If I catch Phillips in the stack vard I will als,) shoot him." They had to leave the farm without selling the stack. Folice-constable Tanner said that he saw Mr. Hill go towards the stack vard, where Mr. Jones and Phillips were stand- ing, c;rrving a double-barrelled gun. When Mr. Hit. threatened to shoot them be held the gun at the ready. Mr. Hill afterwards drew cartridges from the gun. Defendant, who before said he simply carried a poker, now pleaded guilty. The Bench said they were sorry to see a man in his position charged with such a serious offence. He would have to be bound over, himself in £ 100, ?nd two sureties of i50 each to keep the peace for 12 months.
