KIDDyR's GUIDE I, ArAKlAN SCIENCE.
Burlington. 5 S.aucl Nchols 4 Co.
This is ..cticaI treatise on the culture
and and management Of the Honey Bee, by
X ?. Kiddcr, well known in these parts as
practical apiarian of uncommon ability
The object If the work is to teaca those en-
gagged in raising bees how to manage them,
how to make them breed rapidly, how to
make them swarm and how to prevent their
doing So how to promote their health and
to make them produce honey abundantly,
and in short to give practical instructions on
almost every point which concerns their
culture and profitable management Mr..
Kddcr has consulted many of the works of
celebrated writers on the Natural History of
Bees and he brings also to the work great
experience, and practical tact in the care
and treatment of them, which we think is
rarely to be found. The volume is published
at fifty cents copy, and can be obtained of
the author, and we suppose at any of the

SAGAcITY or Doc.-One day, during the
recent sleighing Mr.. Ebcr Hart, of Brighton,
harnessed pair of spirited young horses to
a sleigh, partially loaded, for the city. The
horses took fright while standing without
driver and ran away. A large mattif owned
by Mr.. Hart saw the horses start and gave
chase, pursuing for half mile before he over
took the runaways. He passed them, and
by presenting himself in the track in front of
them, endeavored to check their speed, but
to no purpose; they actually ran faster for
the barking of the dog. Failing in this, the
dog dropped out of the track, and following
behind, he seized the reins which were draw
ing upon the ground, and did not relax his
hold until the team stopped. After he had
been drawn for some distance. his pull be-
came greater upon one line than the other,
which drew the horses toward a fence, where
they stopped. We are assured that this was
an actual occurrence as stated.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE on WooL.-rhe
primary effect produced upon all animals by
u change of climate is the alteration in the
character of the outside coat or covering (;
whether it he Of wool. hair or fur. In many
cases this change is almost instantaneous -
single night of exposure to cold storm
being sufficient to raise the smooth hying
hairs upon the well grooned horse, and
make them stand out almost at right angles
with his body.
The horse, if carefully housed, warmly
clad, and properly groomcd, will retain,
with little change, his short. silky coat of
summer during the entire year. But ex-
pose him without shelter to the frosts Of au-
tumn and the storms of winter, and his thin
glossy dress of summer will be gone, and YOU
will find in its place mass of hair harsh
and long and SO thick and close that it feels
under the hand almost like fleece of wool.

more speedily adopts itself to II change of
climate than the sheep As a wool bearing

the culture Of fine wool has been pursued
with little success in latitudes where the
temperature is either extremely hot or cold.
Extreme cold tends to check the secretion
Of the oily substances which furnishes the
principal nourishmcnt to the fbrcs of wool
and also keeps it in soft and pliable cond-

of the wool, by tending to promote excessive
evaporation. ana thus rendering the fibre

Use OF THE TELEGRATu.-Thc Boston Cou-
rier humorously relates the case Of the mini
ster of an Episcopal church in this State,
and an offending parishioncr whom his spiri-
tual guide felt it necessary to suspend from
the communion. Personal notice must be
served. according to the canon. but the deli
qucnt contrlvcd with success in many ways
to eyldc it. Letters Were invariably return-
ed unopened, and the pastor could hy n,
stratagem get within speaking distance of
his pcryerss disciple.
1T seemed really hopeless case; but
vino shall reckon the extent Of the final per-
severance of the saints? And what man can
count upon being victorious over the resolute
fidelity OF the Church? After the lapse of
some time, the clergyman was called away
from home t. attend IL convention at Il dis
tancc vt his first stopping place, IA bright
thought occurred to him, he took his way
to the telegraph Office, and thus, in Il mode
not to he suspected, communicated to his
parishioncr the fact of his suspension from
the holy ordinance Of communion. The lat
ter was struck aghast ut first, but saw there
was no help for it, ''Well," said he, -
see the telegraph is not only the means of
communication, but Of communication
