To Bee Culturists and Others.

A ELSEY'S Alternating Bee Hive, patented INA May 9th, lS46. These Hives, the only ones of real value and utility to farmers and oth- CTS engaged in the culture of Bees now before the public, are constructed upon natural princi- ples, and combine the following advantages.
 The bees are easily hived in them; it never becomes necessary to kill off the swarms, and honey can at all times be taken away without disturbing the bees; the swarms are entirely pro- tected from robbery by neighboring bees, and from mice and insects; they can be handled with perfect safety, and always living and breeding in new honey combs, are kept entirely healthy and young swarms are always fully developed; the eggs or embryo of the bee moth or miller cannot hatch or mature around these hives, therefore the bees are entirely protected from | the ravages of that destructive enemy, while | the alternating principle is such that the bees are kept industrious the whole season though, | by always having plenty of room to work in; old honey-comb cannotaccumulate, nor will the bees "run out' or "de off" in these hives They have been fully tested by actual use by Upwards of five thousand extensive bee cultur lists.
 This patent gained diploma from the Mary land State Agricultural Society, held at Balti- more 10th, l. tn and l2th of October, ls49
 Ample directions accompany each hive, giv- ing full instructions for the management of bees. They are sold very cheap; and all farmers and other persons who keep bees, or wish to enter into that profitable culture, will find these hives all that can be desired.
 The subscriber, as attorney and agent for the patentee for the State of Arkansas, is now in Helena, and ready to grant individual rights, or to sell counties, townships districts, to parties desirous of engaging in lucrative and pleasant occupation.
 According to an interesting calculation by bee culturist, which is given in full in the trea- tise accompanying this hive, he proves how, in about ten years, any bee culturist may be worth nearly $38,000, simply by the sale of the honey, and swarms.
 The price of an individual right to make use ofthis patent hive is $5.

BENTON AND FOOTE.

1t is a lamentable thing that such scenes as
those of Tuesday and Wednesday should tram
spire in the Senate of the United States. Public
censure will undoubtedly however, fall chiefly
upon the veteran BLACKBOARD of Missouri 1t
was certainly un-Senatorial in Mr. Foote to al
lude to the family considerations which he sup
posed to influence the course of Mr.. Benton but
the reference was natural retort upon his arro-
giant assumption to speak exclusively for "the
friends of California" 1t might have warranted
personal notice, but gave no justification for the
outrageous epithets, with which Mr.. Benton in re-
ply violated the sanctity of the chamber. After
their utterance, he could expect nothing less than
the blasting allusion to certain black and dam.
ming page of his early history It's the first time
we believe, that this subject has been formally
preached, before his face, in the Senate, though ii
has in past times OBJ aimed very wide notoriety
through the newspapers. For him to talk of Ian
guage that would disgrace pot-house or a brothel
is degree of preposterous assurance, which no
other man that ever lived could have exhibited.
