MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.

WILLIAM Henry BENNETT, son Of WlIIiam 4.
Bennett, of this place, left his fathers shop. on
the morning of the 2Sth ult, and has not been
heard Of since. No cause can be assigned for
this painful circumstance. He is a youth Of re-
markable steadiness; fond Of study; and has uni
fofnln exhibited more than ordinary devotion 10
his parents and his home. He isin the nineteenth
year of his age; OF healthy appearance; black hair
and dark eyes. He is a Tailor by trade. This
announcement is made in order that the distress
ed family may, perhaps, procure by it some in
formation, which may possibly relieve their pain
full suspense.
Newspapers, throughout The country, will con-
Ter q favor by giving the above an insertion.

Com. Stockton has long had political aspira-
tons, and processes himself a Democrat of the
FIRST water. The doctrines of this address, The
a%bsurdlty and evil tendency of which he has so
ably exposed, are but the carrying out, to their
legitimate extent, Of the principles every where
avowed by the Democratic party. We are clad
to find them thus denounced by a distinguished
Democrat.
Whilst we think the Legislature cannot lawful
y interfere IN any way TO resume its rights, with
out the consent of the other party, we hope this
agitation may end in a voluntary surrender of
their exclusive privileges by the Companies in
question, and a accomplishment, by the Legisla-
ture, OF the assessment upon fleight and passep-
gers. We feel assured the true interests of the
companies would not be seriously affected by a
surrender oil their monopoly. The fear of oppo-
sI'lon lines might possibly lead TO reduction of
fare and increase Of facilities, which would rem
aer them unnecessary by giving general %satisfac-

A SURE WAY TO PRoTECT THE BEE
FROM THE MILLER.

| was this summer witness, in Western
State, to contriyance for protecting the bee
from the miller, which was novel to me- and,
indeed, to the contriver himself, until it
struck his mind in the beginning of the sea.
son. The continuance / witnessed was this !:
A bce-house eight FIfeet square and eight
feet high, surmountedI by roof running up
into spire, with q weathercock. In the
middle of each of the four sides of the
house, was close fitting door, of sufficient
width and height to allow persons to enter
with case, standing erect Within was a
series OF shelves or platforms, one over the
door, four feet square, supported by corner
posts, reaching from tine ground to the top
of the walls, and mortised perhaps into
cross pieces from theStop of the wallis
These platforms would accommodate from
twelve to sixteen common hives In the day
time all these doors were fastened open !;
but as soon as the bees swere in at evening
they were closed Early in the morning
they were again thrown open, and the little
prisoners let forth to his toll In the winter
the doors are to be kept locked, except when
access is wanted to tho hive !,
By the means above stated the miller was
kept completely from the hives. He would
often be seen coming round in the evening,
and shocking in vain for admittancc One
morning, indeed, believe few millers
were found in the house, when the doors
had been closed at too late an hour in the
evening previous. But they had evidently
found themselves entirely in the dark, and
had done no mischief 1t is obvious that the
house, with its intcrnal( arrangement, could
be of any size that common sense would
dictate-N u Farmer.
