The BATTLE OF THE BEEs.-A curious
circumstance occurred at Guileville, Eure-
el.Loire. A small farmer had in o field
about $50 beehives, containing a vast
number Of bees. He sent man with
cart, drawn bv FIVE horses, To remove some
earth, from the wall near which the hives
were placed. The carter having occasion
to 60 10 The farmhouse tied the horses 10
a tree. Almost Immediately afterwards a
multitude Of bees, either irrilated at the
shaking of their hives by the removal Of
earth from lhe wall, or excited by tho
electricity with which The atmosphere
happened. to be charged issued from their
hives, as II in obedience TO given signal,
and with great fury attacked the horses.
ln an instant the poor animals were entire
ly covered with bees from head 10 foot:
even their nostrils were filled with them,
When the carter returned he found one of
tlle.horses lying dead on the gronnd, and
the others rolling about luriously. His
cries attracted several persons one Of
them attempted 10 drive away The bees.
but they attacked him, and he had TO plunge
into a pond, and even 10 place his head
under water for few seconds, in order to
escape from them. The care Of Guile-

insects. AT length two fire engines were
sent for, and by pumping on The bees
great number were killed on the horses, or
put 10 flight. The horses. however, were
SO much injured tina, they died in au hour.
The value Of the bees destroyed was 1900
francs, and Of The horses $500 francs. A
