We can cheerfully commend it as being SUI
perior to anything of its kind we have ever
seen In use. Mr.. NORTON exhibited to us

its high excellence. 1t Is manufactured by

Fl. A. KING & Co., of Nevada, Wyandot
county, Ohio, received the first premium
on their American Bee Hive" as they
had done at the Ohio State Fairs of 1854
and 1866 The first premium bad also been
awarded them at the late United Fair of the
New England States; also at the Pennsyl-
Ivauia State Fair; and at the Indiana State
Fair, for several years past They were
Undoubtedly entitled to this distinction, for
the american we regard as the best
Beehive ever invented. Their work,
which they call "The Bee-Keeper's Text
Book" is exceedingly valuable, containing
as it does everything important to know on

neat little book of 14O pages; and was sold

excited a good deal of indignation against
himself, by causing to be injured several
very fine specimens of the Union Fence
Company's Fence, which they had on ex-
hibition near where he had located himself.
