The increasin': magnitude of my business has imposed 
burdens on me which have become oppressive, and required 
an amount of attention and labor that I cannot give it per¬ 
sonally,1 have therefore disposed of my entire Nursery stock 
to Messrs. It. Cumming, ,J. Dermitt, J. T. Rowley, and Jas. 
F. Grimes, to whom I have also permanently leased my 
farm, so admirably adapted to the growth of fruit and the 
production of vines and plants. 
Three of the above gentlemen have been connected with 
my establishment for some time, and are thoroughly con¬ 
versant with its management. I can cheerfully commend 
the new firm of R. Cumming & Co. to my numerous friends 
and customers, as worthy of all confidence. I feci assured 
that the high reputation the Knox Fruit Farm and Nurseries 
has achieved in the past, will not suffer in their hands. 
I bespeak for them a continuance of the patronage so 
liberally extended to me in the past. 
Tlie stock they have purchased is the largest and best I 
have ever grown. J. KNOX.

Bayard Taylor, in his entertaining hook entitled: “ India, 
China, and japan,’ mentions this peculiar game of India, 
which lie saw in Delhi, formed of marble, on a large and 
magnificent plan, occupying a portion of the king’s palace 
grounds, as follows: 
" Within these fairy precincts lie tlie gardens.still overrun 
with roses and jessimlne vines, in the midst of which foun¬ 
tains are playing. There is also a court, pavect with marble 
ol various colors, sons to form a Pakcheksi Boaiid. This 
is a game somewhat resembling Backgammon, hut instead 
of Ivory pieces, it was played by Akbar and Ills wives, or 
eunuchs with girls, who passed from space to space, as the 
moves were made.’ 1 
We publish beautifully colored editions of tlie above de¬ 
scribed game, which is played by two, three, or four per¬ 
sons, upon a folding board 18 inches square, with directions 
for playing two distinct games.
