A PETRIF1Ep BEE TREE.-The Grass Valley
National of California says:
There was found few days since, in the dig
gings of John Chew &.Co., on Buckeye Hill,
in this country, between Grecnhorn Greek and
Chalk Bluff Mountain, bee tree and large
bee hive, honey and bees petrifed. The re-
manning portion of the tree in which the hive
was found is 2 l in diameter and about forty
feet long. Chew & Co.,. found the petrifed
bee hive 65 feet benesth the surface while pip
ing their claims. The bee hiveis no matter of
fancy, but of pure demonstration. Before us
is Sample Of the comb full of honey, petrifed:
The normal thickness of the comb, the dupli-
cate Of cells with their inEariable hexagonial
shape are all before us as distinctly as if fresh
piece ofhoney comb, all dripping and just cut
from the box, had been brought and placed be-
fore our eyes on sheet of paper.
