An Attractive Lady.

The Springfield (Mo.) Journal relates the
following singular occurrence
yesterday afternoon, while lady of that
city was engaged at her household duties,
swarm of bees entered the room, settling upon
her head neck and arms. As may be sup
posed, the lady was sadly frightened and quickly
brushing them away, she sought refuge in an
adjoining apartment. The window being in.
advertently left open, the bees Immediately en-
tered, and again took possession Of the lady,
who finding they did not harm her, and unable
to remedy the evil, quietly went about her
work, experiencing but little Inconvenience.
The bees continued to hover around the lady
until near shutdown, when they departed as
suddenly as they came, having paid no atten-
ton TO several children who we're in the house
the whole time
