rise. His voice being also affected by par
alySis, he could not make himself heard at
any distance, and owing to the height of
the furze, there was no chance of his being
seen. He lay there for an entire week, sub
sisting on few cherries and beans and the
young shoots of the whins, ard was at last

A SINGULAR ALTERING OF BEES. With n
the last week, several citizens of Howard
Bottom have called to tell us of a strange
gathering of bees, on a Cherry tree, on the
farm belonging to Mr. Nash Smith, living
about to 3 miles from the ferry About
thirty swarms have gathered on and about
the tree, mostly coming from the east, but
some from all directions. The drouth
and consequent lack of the usual supply of
food-~has probably made them leave their
hives, but it would be difficult to determine
why so many swarms, keeping distinct after
they arrive, should fix upon the same local
ity. Strange as it is, this convocation of
bees, is not without precedent, as many of
our readers will recollect that similar
incident took place in or about Nashville,
some years since The circumstance has
created considerable excitement among
the soOthsayers and old women of the
neiglibOrhOOd, who infer that it indicates
something awful to the world akin to Mil
lerism.-BOonrHe OJserrer, 3D.
