Patent Bee Hive.

Mr.. ]. W. Johnson, of Philadelphia, has beer
in this place for week past engaged IN selling
Rev. l.. L. Longstroths Patent Bee Hive. This
hive has taken premiums at various Agricultural
Fairs and Mechanical Institutes, and is highly
recommended by large number of persons en-
gagged in the culture of bees. Its numerous and
obvious advantages are summed up in the re-
mark of a gentlemen of q neighboring county,
who has fully tried it, that 'in other hives bees
do as they please, and in this you can make
make them DO as you please" The ready &C
cess which q person has to the bees and every
part of the hive, enables him not only to take
honey with perfect convenience, but to rid the
hive of insects, strengthen feeble colony,
transfer honey in the comb from one hive to an
other when it is needed. and do hundred 9TH
er things. All the operations of the bees, more
over, can be observed without disturbing them
in the least.
On Thursday last, in the Courthouse yard,
Mr.. johnson transferred swarm of bees from an
old box into one of the Langstroth hives, in the
presence Of q crowd of persons. He Knocked
the box to pieces, took out the comb and placed
as much of it as was necessary in the new
hive, brushed the bees in, aud after a few hours
they were at work as if nothing had hap
peLed. The bees were in fair way of being
DESTROYED by insects in the old hive, but now
they are as snug and happy as possible.
This hive is the result of seventeen years stndy
of the habits OF the bee by Mr.. Langstroth, who
has also published an elaborate and interesting
work on the subject.

The Crops.

The August No. of the Ameriean Farmer
published at Baltimore, takes the newspapers
to task for giving erroneous and exaggerated &C.
counts of the wheat crop OK the country. 1t es-
uecialv ceusures the editors of country papers,
who, living in country towns and frequently
conyersinc with farmers, could, with reasona-
BILE share of care and judgment, make reliable
and valuable reports of the crops of their res
pective counties. We beg leave to say that this
is more easily said than done, as we know from
experience. Within the last month or two we
have sought information from number OF our
farmers, living in different parts Of the county,
and they give such different accounts ofthe crop
that we have given up in despair, and to this day
are unable to say whether it is good, bad or in
different. Hence We have never expressed any
decided opinion on the subject. The conclu-
siops to which the Farmer comes as TO the
erops of the country are, that wheat is under an
average, oat crop unusually large, hay crop and
fruit ditto. aud corn and tobacco may be good
If the season continues favorable. On the whole
n very favorable account.

AT His Old Trick.

We did really hope that the tribuations thro
which the Richmond Enquirer has lately pass
ed, had softened down its asperity of feeling to-
wards Southern men who do not fully agree
with it in politics; but we were mistaken. A
few weeks ago the Enquirer declared that it had
grown tired of the idle twaddle of the seees'
sionists, about who are friends of the South and
who are not" and spoke in bitter terms OF GER
tain "anointed defenders" Of tue rights OF the
South. who assume to issue "bulls of excommu-
nication against those who do not swear allegl'
ance to their rickety platform" Yet, after all
this, tho Enquirer returns to its old trick, and
in late issue publishes long TRADE OF abuse Of
Senator Bell, of Tennessee, from the pen of the
famous General, Gideon J. Pillow, which the
editor says he has read with great satisfaction
and interest" Gen. Pillow undertakes to show
that Mr.. Bell is sat heart an aboiitionist," and
cites his votes in Congress on various queSaeas,
in reference to which there has always been a
diversity OF opinion among Southern men. One
of the specifications against Ar. Bell is very re-
Pillow taxes him with having
voted for all Of the Compromise Measures OF H.
so, notwithstanding these measures have been
soemnly endorsed by two Democratic National
Conventions, and two Democratic Presidents
have plumed themselves upon being their pecu-
liar friends and supporters! And the Enquirer
chuckles over this Showing up'' of Senator
Bell, pronouncing the letter bold and able The
secret of the matter, however, is, that an cleo
ton was pending in Tennessee, and the noise OF
the battle caused ths Enquirer to bang away
with its old blunderbus, forgetfui Of its recent
WEAKNESS of idle twaddle"

The JUDICIAL ELECTION in the Washington

from it now Is, that, at the meeting of the Sher.
lifts at Abingdon to make out their certificate, it

his poll at Lee Courthouse, where he had re.
ceiyed pajority of some 200, was not anthem

missioners experimenting the election at that
place. In this state of the case, we learn, three
of the Sheriffs certified the election of Mr.. Full

Springs of western Virginia.

From all accounts the various watering places
of Western Virginia are reaping harvest I'M
parallel in their history. There are probably
more people in the mountains now than have
ever been at the Springs during any former sea-
son and large crowds are still rushing out by the
various routes. Hundreds are daily passing
through this place on the Central Road, and as
many more are doubtless passing along by the
South Side and other routes. Notwithstanding
the largely increased accommodations ut the
White Sulphur, that famous resort Is SAID 10 oe
full to overlooking. The crowd at the Rock
bridge Alum is unprecedented. The two Sweet
Springs are filed to their utmost capacity, While
the Hot, Warm, Healing, Blue Sulphur and 9TH
er Springs are all enjoying an unusual visitation
If REPORTS be true, it is reasonable to estimate
that there are at least three thousand strangers
in the mountains at the present time, and that
the number will not be diminished during the
season. The amount of money left in that Sec
tion of country bv these strangers will astonish
those who make the calculation. AT the lowes'
estimate each individual viii spend two dollars
per day. which is sixty dollars per month, Oh
one hundred and fifty dollars for the season o.
two months anda half, expended for the item
of board alone. This would be $3.50, 900 expen
ded by the whole number during the season tol
board Add to this the travelling and other IN
cidental expenses, and we may safely put dowr
the amount at 100000. This result is arrived
ut upon an estimated expenditure of two dollars
per day. but the probability is that it is double
that sum.
The migratory disposition of the people seems
to increase with the facilities OF reaching thu
various watering places and the farther the rail-
road penetrates into the mountains tue more
crowded the cars become By the time it reaches
the White Sulphur, the visitors at those Springs
will. count by thousands instead OF hundreds.-
Branch roads will doubtless be ba:lt to othel
watering places, and the revenue derived iron
the resort of health and pleasure seekers to tue
mountains will mount up to millions An im
mense market will be afforded for all KINDS
agricultural produce; the surrending country
will be dotted with vegetable farms, and th'
wealthy men of the South will erect cottage
residences in the neighborhood OF the Springs
where they will keep house during the Summer
months, and resort 10 the Springs for frolie, tui
and medicinal waters There is nothing vision
ary i'm these calculations. The tide is progress
ing and by the time the Railroad is completed
to the Ohio River all these wonderful things
will be more than accomplished.

it, Heidam struck the bear with his axe, but
the animal caught the blow with her fore paw,
and sent the axe flying through the air. He
lost his balance and the bear caught him in a

Eli Tbayer has selected TOR the settlement ip

from the Southern poinr of Ohio. Five thou
sand acres have been selected on creek about
two miles from the mouth of the Big Sandy riv-
er, which forms the boundary line between Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. There arrangements are
making for the building of a city which is to be
the centre of colony. This city is to be called
Ueredo. The tract of ground is Q splendid
wheat growing and pasturage country, it Is very
healthy, snd well supplied with timber aud coal.
1t is we'll situated for navigation, and from this
point there is constant water communication as

A FISH IN HUMAN SKULL.-Two sons of
Mr.. Iscett, of Greensburg Pa, were in the hab-
it of setting might lines" in the Allegheny riv-
er, in order to become possessed of the tinny
tribe. One morning very mysterious looking
thing was observed from the shore as being at
tached to one Of the lines out some distance.
On drawing in the line fish was fast on the
hook, with it's head protruding from the orfce
of human skull, which rests upon the verte-
bral column, IFS body being in the skull and too
large to allow its escape therefrom. The theo-
~ is that the fish became domiciled in the skull
some time since, grew until it became imprison-
ed therein beyond its powers to escape unaid-
ed. The skull is sound and has yet four teeth
in it, the remainder having dropped out. Its
shape indicates that 1t possibly belonged to q
negro and was perhaps that ola female.
