Of that memorable "black fort" which caused
the Americans so much annoyance during the

Ia Anna, such a constitution the nation may
establish, the Cabalos tariff the abolition on the

ton of provisions, the abolition of prohibitions on

BATTLE AMONG BEES Terrible Slaughter Of
The Inraders. --The Toledo (Ohio) Republican
relates the following as having occurred, few
days ago, in that county;
= A new swarm Of bees came out Of their pater-
nal hive and gathered around their young queen,
in the warm, sunlit atmosphere. But, instead Of
going TO some neighboriRg tree or shrub, and
forming hanging cluster, as has invariably been
the rule with all predecessors with whom we have
ever been acquainted, they settled on hive and
began a murderous attack upon the peaceable in
mates.
The unsuspectng workers were taken by sur
prise, and many of them were killed by the inva-
ders before they became fully aroused, when the
conflict became quite obstinate. The fact that
most of the working bees Of the hive were out
gathering honey gave the new swarm all the adj
vantage, and, though the battle lasted all day,
they finally trumphed. Thousands Of dead
bodies were dragged to the entrance and thrown
on the ground each hour.
