MISCELLANEOUS READING.

\ SWARM or BEES LIT LOOSE IL DEPoT.-
\ couple Of days ago a man from Illinois
passed through on the railroad with one
hundred and ten cases of bees, en- route for
California, where he says he receives 500
a box Tor them, They cost him So box in
Illinois. While the boxes were being con-
veyed from the Toledo to the c. i E. train
one of them fell off the track and burst open.
and in an instant the air was filled with the
buzzing insects. The depot being crowded
with passengers. quite commoton was ex-
cited. The bees. tired of their confinement
and jolt over the rails, resolved on spree,
and playiully lighing on the faces Of frantic
women and nervous men. left them more
frantic and nervous than before, from their
pointed attentions. Warren, Lawrence, and
Robson, though efficient depot officers, and
adroit in catching thieves, stood no chance
with the winged rogues. Clark was seen
beating n hasty retreat through the side
door, not with a flea in his ear exactly, but
with an agile and exceedingly tenacious
honey bee down the back Of his neck Others
received stinging reproofs for their constitu-
tional tardiness of locomotion and were Oh
served 10 move at a speed never before at-
tempted by them There was degree Of
warmth about the attentions of the bees ne,
Ia be resisted. They disappeared after
time and the depot resumed its accustomed
quiet.

over that OF many Of the other States we WI
state one little fact for the information Of our
friends abroad, who desire moving TO this conn'
~. In the latter part Of August after having
dug and housed our spring crop OF ls'sh Po'a-
,oee. we. by way OF experiment, prepared a
yery small piece Of ground. and rtplan'ed
about half busheil more OF the same potatoes
rhey ean,e'up, grew lusurian!ly, and, without
killing them once, we obtained from Inc paicn,
on Saturday last, as fine mess as any ioSef
