AN EXCELLENT BEE-HIvE-We had an OPP.
REY's Maine State Bee Hive, " patented June T.
1859, and which has become so celebrated through
out the country We might here remark that Mr..
ToRREY, whose residence is at Bangor, Maine is
probably the most extensive cultivator of Bees in
the United States
That this hive is justly entitled to celgrity there
can be no question 1t is, according to our humble
judgement, the Plus ultra of bee hives. 1t is
simple yet perfect in its entire construction and
its value cannot fail to beappreciated by all intel
gent minds who will give it examination. We
not alone in our good opinion of this hive, fol
it has never failed to take the first premium at all
state and county fairs where it has been exhibi
ton ; and it has the unqualified endorsement OF
the largest and best bee men in the country, who
are using the hive also all the leading Agrcul-
tural and other Journals of the land
We know that patient bee hives like many other
patients are regarded, and often justly with dis
trust but the common sense exhibited in the con-
struction of this hive is papabe that there can
be no misunderstanding its value 1t is not expen-
sive-it is perfect in form and construction all
surplus honey can be easily removed without dis
turbing the bees hive-the condition of the bees
can be at any time-it has perfect and scien-
tfc Yentilation-no frost or ice, which is fatal
to the swarm, accumulate i'll winter-it is perfect
dead shot against the moth, robber bees, &C., if
properly managed.
In times like these, when we are paying such
eXhorbitant prices for all kinds of sweets it be-
comes more imperative than ever to save by cult
waiting the bee, what would be otherwise ''lost up
on the desert air. "
Now, our4advice to farmers is to teke care of
their bees if they desire to make the bee culture
profitable Let the diligent little bee" live, and
it will repay you tenfold for your trouble. To do
this secure Torreys Hive, and follow his directions
and You are all right
Mr.. L. will remain in the county for a week or
two, and all communications addressed to him ut
Towanda, will receive prompt attention-Arg,S. 4
We join in the above concentrations of our
neighbor We have seen Mr.. ToRREYs beehive
and examined it thoroughly, and in our judgment,
is the most perfect thing of the kind ever nven-
ted.

have returned the appropriation bill of last
year for such revision, as when | had the
opportunity of deliberately examining it,
found provisions which could not have ap-
proved but that opportunity was denied
me before the bill had become law, and
in fact, as the Legislature was on the point
of adjournment, the only question present
ed to me was whether that bill should be-
come law without amendment, or the
necessities of the Government remain un-
provided for. The gallantry of our soldiers
in the field still sheds lustre on the Com
monwealth, and that their merit is appreci-
ated by generous people is shown by the
continued and cheerful lberality with which
the men and women of the State contribute
of their means for their comfort and well
fare May the blessing of God be on those
brave men who have stood by the country
through the dark hours of her trial

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT--A sad and
appalling accident occurred at the Depot, in Owego
on Thursday night last. The particulars of the
accident, from the Times, are follows The Dis
patcher, about II o'clock, began to make up trains
for the morning, and in doing so ran caboose and
three freight cars out on the western bound main
track and with the switch engine started for Others
and while away in the lower part of the yard train
heard approaching with great rapidity and be-
fore any thing could be done, it dashed into the
lodging for the night. The shock crushed the ca
boose like an egg-shell, ripping its floor up some
six or eight feet The head of the engine shat
tered all to pieces-the smoke stack hurled
pipes connecting with the cylinder crushed and
broken at once throwing the whole steam of the
engine into the caboose and literally boiling the
two unfortunate men completely that the skin
skin of the hands and feet were as complete as
glove the nails of the fingers and toes accompany
ing the skin. They lived for about two hours, and
were sensible almost to the last. Their names
were 1. WATERMAN, of Catlin Hill, and W. H. LAW
RENEE, of near Athens, Pa both are said to have
been returned soldiers, both the sons of widows.
and both had been on the road one q week the
other, we believe, only two days. The train that
came in is what is called Wildcat" that is, a
train running on particular time.
