LARGE DEPosIT OF HoNEY.-A somewhat
singular discovery was made few days ago ia
| the house occupied by Mrs. Gen. Wingate. on
| the corner OF Spring and High streets. Port
land. The Argus has the following account OF
| the story
The inmates Of one of our largest up town
mansion houses, few days since, yera sur
prscd to find large number of bees flying
apont IN TWO OF the upper rooms. AS the lit
, Iio ielloWs continued to occupy the places a
bee naturalist was sent for to investigate the
matter. On entering one of the rooms, he ex-
claimed, You have honey somewhere here p
ana proceeded to search for it. On removing
the iire-board he discovered that ono fue OF
the chimney was full of honey comb, and was
hanging down into the fire places and the hon
ey was dropping from it. Proceeding to the
Top OF the house to sound the chimney he found
ut the same F.; one tiue of the chimney was full
also.
The fues of the chimney had never been
used they were plastered smooth inside, and
were perfectly dark, a stone having been plac-
cd upon the top of each fue. The bees had
descended the adjoining flues, and found small
holes about ten inches from the top of the
chimney, leading into the closed flues, and
through these holes they had made their way
IN aud out. They have, as is supposed, occu-
pied tnese places for three years, having
been kept warm by the heat from the adjoining
llues.
On removing tile fire board, the bees seek
ing the great light which had broken in upon
them, descended TO the room, and gathered
on the windows, until they were covered to
the thickness of three inches. 1t is estimated
that there are, in the two tiucs, from 40, 900 to
$4,000 bees, and from two TO three thousand
pounds Of honey.

TO THE VoTERE OF THE CRY OF WILMINGTON.
You are called upon to decide INFO whose
hands the government of our city shall be en-
trusted Tor the coming year. Two names for
aaeb office to be filed are before you. Upon
one OF them The choice must fall. Which one,
YOU are to decide by your votes. Your choice
is free. 1t your sovereign right, as Ameri-
can citizens, to express your preferences by
your votes, without being questioned by any
one, as to WHY you have thus elected. But
the possession OF this right involves a duty, and
a consequent responsibility. Our American
political Institutions pre-suprose astheirbasis,
the ability and the disposition OF every citizen,
to perform his duties to the State with an hon
est purpose Of acting Tor her best interests
We presume you to be DESTROYS of doing 3d.
Therefore we present no apology for asking
your attention to the following brief statement,
of what, in our opinion, constitutes your res
possibility, at the present election.
The end Of all governments, great and small,
national and local, is the maintenance of good
order within their respective limits, or in other
words, the prevention of trespass by any indi-
vdual upon the rights Of others. To secure
this end, laws arc enacted, and officers are
provided for, whose duty it is made to sec that
obedience is yielded to their provisions. II
these officers neglect or refuse to enforce the
laws, they are practically nullified and the of
Acers are guilty either of contempt of the all-
thority OF, or practical rebellion against, the
power by which they are created. Hence, il
order that the laws may be made operative, il
IS necessary to have officers who will enforce
them all. Honest, conscientious men, whose
characters are guarantees that they will accep
and perform, in good faith, the duties imposed
upon them by their fellow citizens. When ii
the performance OF our daily duties, We fins
the aid oil another necessary, We arc careful l.
select one whose reputation, hahts Of life, &c
are such as TO assure us that what he under
takes, will be performed honestly and ettectuO
ly. Should We apply another rule to our pull
lie life q Should we in public affairs, revers
this process which our good sense approve
and select men whose character and habits
life offer us nothing Of this kind, but fro
which we must infer directly the contrary al

In offering for your votes the names Of &c
W. Sparks, John 7. Robinson, George

tive offices TO which we hope to elect the
will be well and faithfully performed. III

A fOUNG WIFE DESTROYING HERSELF FROM
JEALOusY.-Mrs. Matilda kaltenbacker, who
resided with her husband and two sisters in
the building No. 1856 Court Street, took poison
on Sunday night, and died from its effects the
next morning. Mrs. X. had been married
about two years, and was the mother OF one
child. She was young and handsome, and gem
orally amiable, but at times troubled with deep
dependency, when she often spoke of destroy
ing herself. Recently, it seems, she had be-
come jealous of her husband, who, she beliey-

SPRING rs COMING.

Spring is coming!-Spring is comel
Don't you hear her in the rills,
Tripping gaily Ger the valley,
Flying DER the sunny hillsi
Nature leaps to meet her coming,
Ic With her teeming babbling throng;
Gladsome Spring, with joy we greet thee,
With cheerful voice of song.
Spring is coming,-Spring is comingl
She is in the Southern breeze;
Merily the birds are singing
Mathis in the forest trees;
Modest violets are springing
From the gladstone earth the while,
And the butter-cups and daisies
Greet her with lovers smile.
Spring is ccmihgg!-SPring is coming!
Tiny leaflets venlI.e out;
Torrents that for months have slumbe.-ed.
Hasten seaward with shout
Nanton breezes kiss the flowers;
Butterflies are on the wing;
Birds have set the day to marry,
And invited guests to sing.
Spring is eomingl-Spring iscoming.
Joyous beats the pulse Of life:
Weary ones. almost desponding.
Start anew to meet the strife,
Natures bosom throbs with pleasure;
Spring has set the captive free;
Earth with all her teeming millions,
Chants the song of jubilee.

GgS" II vouch for the literal truth of the
following incident" says the worthy gentle
man who sends it to the Drawer. sin our
village we hsve man who makes himself
very unpopular, and, 1 may say, very odious,
by his everlasting fault-fnding with other
people. He is good man, perhaps, but
if he sees any thing in one of the other
members of the church that he can take
hold of he talks about it and harps upon If,
and makes it twice as bad as it was or
would have been but for his censorious
meddling with the notes in other peoples
eyes. His name is Sharp, and well it
might be. Not far from him-indeed,
there is only a garden between the houses
live Mr.. Davis, mild, inoffensive, good
man, who would be very slow to do wrong
at any time, and has the fear of Mr.. Sharp's
tongue before him at all times. 1t happen
ed, during that coolest snap in last Decem-
der, that by Sunday afternoon they had
burnt up all the wood that Mr.. Davis had
provided on Saturday, and he must go out
to the pile and cut some more, or the chill
dren would suffer and perhaps be seriously
injured by the cold. After some hesitation,
but seeing no alternative, Davis took his
axe, and keeping one eye ont at Sharp's
h,;o,se and c.na on his work, he soon had an
arnful cut, which, he was just picking it up
as some one spoke to him from the road
side:
"I say, Mr.. DavisY
aHe dropped the wood, and looking up,
cried,
'oh, Smith! All! Yes, Mr.. Smith
Cold day, Mr.. Smith; glad to sec you;
thought at first it was old Sharp
well, what if it WASP
"'Why, you see, | wouldn't just like,
YOU know, to have Sharp see me chopping
wood Sunday
But, neighbor Davis said Mr.. Smith,
don't you think the Lord will see you?
"'Oh, yes, suppose likely he will; but
then he pon't make such dreddtm fuss
about itP"
Davis may have meant very well in this
expression, but he let out the real feeling
of many man who IS willing to do wrong
if any body but the Lord sees him. The
fuss is to come by-and-by. i'9
