Ou Mouday week a strange swarm of bees lighted
on a chimney of Major Warlit's house, in Fisher-
street, Carlisle, and seemed bent on taking up their
future quarters there. A hive having beets put upon
the chimney-top, the truant colony at once took
possession of it, and are now carrying on their usurl
operations.

A few days ago a man was crossing • small rivulet
near Coniston Lake, and observed • Mai sitting on
the hedge, which, iu attempting t• escape, fell into
the water, where was • large eel, which immediately
gave it butde. It seized it by one of its hind
leg.," says the man, t' and shook it as a terrier
would a rat." Still the toad defended itself with
vigour, till the eel actually severed its leg from its
body, which it swallowed, and again returned to the
charge, but with greet care evaded coming in front,
till espying one of the toad', unguarded moments,
it seized the remaining hind leg, which soon shared
the fate of the former. There being co more pro-
minent parts behind, nor any other part to mze
upon without rushing into the very heat of the con-
test, the poor toad was suffered to escape with the
loss of two of its most useful members.--( Neu,
