THE DATTLV. OF TUE BF.F.S.—A curious circum-
stance occurred a few days back at Ouißesit e, Eure-et-
Loire. Annuli farmer had in a field about 250 beehives,
containing a vast number of bees. lie sent a man as ith a
cart, drawn by five horses, to remove some earth from a wall
near which the hives were placed. The carter having occ:i •
lion to go to the farmhouse, tied the horses to a tree. Almost
immediately after a multitude of bees, either irritated at
the shaking of their hives by the removal of the earth iron
the wall, or excited by the electricity with which the atmos-
phere happened to be charged, ie•ued from their hives, as it
in obedience to a given signal, and with great fury attacked
the horses. In an instant the poor animal, were entirely
covered with bees from head to foot; even their nostrils
were tilled with them. When the carter returned he found
one of the horses I)ing dead on the ground, and the
others rolling about furiously. His cries attracted several
persons. One of them attempted to drive away the bees,
but they attacked him, and he had to plunge into a pond,
and even to place his head under water for a few seconds,
in order to escape from them. The cure* of Gulleville also
attempted to approach the horses, but he, too, was put t•,
flight by the enraged insects. At length two fire engine,
were sent for, and by pumping on tbo bees a great number
were killed on the horses, or put to tight. The horses,
however, were so much injured that they died in an hour.
The value of the bees destroyed was 1,500 f., and of
horses 2,600 f. A few days before bees from the s
killed 17 goalinp.—Golsgwant.
