The MoRMoNs IN WALEs.-An article in a
late number of the London Spectator tells of
the alarming spread Of Mormonism in Wales.
Says the Spectator -
The rapid growth of Mormonism in Wales
seems to be entirely escaping the attention Of
those who ought to have done all that was pos
sible to prevent it. Ministers of all persuas-
ions seem to be agreed in considering the sub
ject scarcely worth a thought. A Wesleyan,
living in Cardiff, told US tie other day there
were very few Mormons left in the principali-
ty. If there are not, it is owing to the regu-
lar stream of emigration kept up from Wales
to Utah. A few days after this very remark
was made, about eighty men and women--the
latter nearly all young, good-looking, robust
girls-lett Cardiff station en- route for the
Salt Lake. They had been gathered from
the surrounding country, and many were re-
spectacle in appearance. One young man
had been assistant to surgeon at Cardiff.
We remember many such embarkatiOns from
the ports of South Wales, and yet, in the
very heart of this district, the notion is gen.
eral that Mormonism is dying out. The truth
is, it is subtly and surely extending. In Liv-
erpool, where there are many Welsh, there
are also many Mormons. Let it be remem-
bered, the sect is little more than thirty years
old, and it will at once be seen that it has as
sumed formidable proportions. Statistics and
census returns do not give the full measure
of its progress, for the simple reason that as
fast as Converts are made they are sent to
Utah. A perpetual emigration fund is in ex-
istence for this purpose, and as the people are
taught that Christ himself will certainly come
to establish his kingdom in Utah or Missouri,
they 90 out with an Interchangeable belief that
happiness here and high rewards hereafter
await them The Book of Mormon has been
translated into the Welsh language, and finds
ready-amost eager-acceptance among the
poor, ignorant people of the hills. The
women, young and old, adopt Mormonism
greedily.

AN OvERsToCK OF BEEs.-There has been
controversy among the bee doctors as to the
danger of overstocking sections of country
with bees. Mr.. j. Hazen assumes, in an ar
ticle written for the Country gentleman, that
it is possible to overstock the honey-field of
any locality. This he thinks is often done,
and as an instance cites the following =
81 have gathered few facts from one
neighborhood in Watervliet upon the subject,
that think may be of some interest. Sever
al neighbors in a vicinity that may take in
field of six or eight square miles, had, last
tall, about 300 swarms OF bees, Last season
was an untaY season for honey, and
more than two thirds of the whole number
died. One keeper had thirty swarms, lost
twenty -four-four-ffths of the whole number;
another, with six swarms, lost them all. Last
spring was commenced with number that,
with the swarms of the present season, have
this fall reached about one hundred. Very
little surplus honey was secured last fall.
This season has been perhaps still more I'M
favorable, aud from inquiry aud examination
of the keepers and hives, | should think there
was not 200 pounds in the whole hundred
swarms, and not half of that in full boxes.
The course has been in this neighborhood to
encourage swarming until the locality was SO
overstocked that in an unfavorable season
more than two-thrds of them starved to
death"

MoRGAN's EsoAPE.-Gov Tod of Ohio says
that in the escape of John Morgan and his
men, there is not the slightest evidence to be
found of fraud or corruption on the part of
officers, either civil or military, concerned in
their custody, nor on the part of any indiyid-
ual or citizen without or within the prison,
but that the sole reason for their escape lie to
be found in the misunderstanding of Gen.
Mason and Mr.. Merton, the warden of the
penitentiary, as to which should, after the Sd
of November, be responsible for and have the
care of the inspection of the prison cells.

WHAT IS OUR COUNTRY? -"Perhaps you

laws which protect you, the bread which pays
for your works, the words you interchange
with others, the joy and grief which come to
you from the men and things among which
you lve-this is your country! The little
