l3oSEy Pen Feeling apxious TO
know how much honey an acre of white
clover would produce, one fine morning in
month OF June examined several fields in
the outskirts of Burlington. then CON-
menced numbering the heads of clover up
on single foot. then made calculation
OF the number of square feet in an acre,
~, 24O square feet. then asccrtaned the
number of drops in pound of honey,
which found to be near 1850 drops. 7
then supposed thcreupon an average Of fifty
clover heads to the square foot (Which /
think very low estimate, especially for
the year 1869 and, according to the above
estimate, / found Que acre of white clover
will produce the enormous amount of $50
pounds, supposing each head to give but
one drop OF honey; showing conclusivey-
that white clover country cannot be over
stocked with bees, and it also shows
the millions Of pounds wasted every year

The BUFFALO EXTENSION OF TIE ATLANTIC
AND GREAT WESTERN RAILwAY.-We have
already noticed the fact that the contractor
and leading men connected with the At
lantic & Great Western Railway have gone
to Buffalo on business connected with the
extension Of that line to Buffalo. The Buff
falo Commercial Advertiser says =
"James McHenry, Esqy,,t eminent f.
nancier and representative of the Atlantic
Great Western Railway in England T.
W. Kennard, ESQ.,, Engineer-in-C Chief and
Vice President; Mr.. s. Wann, Financial
Agent at New York; Mr.. II. F. Sweetser,
General Superintendent; Mr.. W. G. Ham
ilton, Superintendent of the Company's
Locomotive Works, and c. E BlskesleeJ
Private Secretary of Mr.. Kennard, are
among the guests at " Boomers " to- day
The party has just returned from the initial
trip over the route from New York to st.
Louis, which was made without change
of guage or car, performing the hitherto un-
paralleled feat of travelling 1900 miles on
one unbroken line of railway.
"The object of the visit to this city, is to
locate the route of the " Buffalo Extension -
of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway
from this city to Randolph, where it inter
sttIS Jut uldll lluts 70 GAdultut JIlG ttD-
ders and award the contract for building
the road, which is to be put in hand imme-
diately, and pushed through to completion
with that speed and vigor which have char
acterized the other works of the company.
Knowing what we do of the gentlemen
who have this enterprise in charge, we
have little hesitation in predicting that the
% Buffalo Extension " will be completed
and regularly at work within year.
'Tt is proper to mention in this connection,
that the grading of the Erie i Niagara
Railway-WMch is to connect Lake Erie
with Lake Ontario, and is practically
branch of the Buffalo ExtensIon-is already
done, and the road VIII soon be completed
and IN running order This enterprise is
also the work Of the \. / G. W. managers.
We understand that the Company is about
to commence an immense and powerful
vessel which is TO perform the partof steam
bridge across the river at this point, until
the Niagara International Bridge is COM
pleted. This will enable the company to
transport coal and other freight direct from
their road over the Buffalo Extension to
this City, and across the river to the Erie
and Niagara branch, thence to Lake 0nta-
rio without breaking bulk. The importance
OF this arrangement, in its effect upon the
traffic Of this city, is SO evident that it re-

DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLABY.-The Plain
Dealer states that on Saturday evening last,
a daring burglary was attempted in the
house of Mrs. E. T. Stevenson, corner of
Prospect and BrownelI Streets. A young
girl was discovered by Mrs. Stevenson,
about nine o'clock that evening,
asleep in a room of the house,
and on being aroused, confessed that she
had been secreted there in order to aid the
burglarious entry of her father, whose
name she refused to give. The police were
notified, and watched the building, but no
demonstration was made by the burglars.
The name of the girls father has since been
ascertained to be Caspsr. He has not yet
been arrested.
