"a heavy case OF forgery and swindling has
just come to light. 1t appears that some person
in ST. Thomas, West Indies, forged the names Of
wcll-known firm in that island to bills of lad
ing purporting to be on the shipment Of sugars,
&c., TO a fir II in Chariestoe, South Carolina.--
Thee bills of ladiDg were sent TO the latter
house, with tdviccs stating that their agent in
this city would receive the amount of bills IL
not long before the Charleston house re-
ceive adyices from the supposed agents here, re-
bills called in cotton, and ship to him. This
was done: and the cotton was received in this
CITY, and the most of it sold once or twice over
before the fraud detected. In the mean
time, the agent fled, probably to Europe. 1t is
supposed that the Charleston house will have to
stand the chief loss. As far the fraud has
been developed, it amounts to about $4,000, or
to about $l6 ,000."

mir. S. Hooper, residing near McK,ssack's
Grove, Iowa, while lately driving his team
past the house Of Eli Slusher, was attacked
by bees. They made the attack in three dis
tnct strings about the size of mans arm, first
attacking the horses. Mr. II. still held to the
team until Messrs. Gilmore and SIusher came
to his assistance. One horse, in endeavoripg
to extricate himself. broke blood vessel and
expired shortly after. The other is severely
injured. They next attacked Mr.. Hooper and
those who came tohis assistance. Everything
was done that could be to extricate the unfor-
tunate men. but not until Mr.. Hooper and Mr..
Slusher were so severely injured that but little
hope Of their recovery is entertained. The
symptoms and suffering of the unfortunate
men resemble those Of hydfophobia: isi1f
