piled for upon the assembling of the next
Legislature. attention of all persons
interested in bees and their product is invi-
ted to the advertisement of Langstroth'S

efficacy of this improvement, and no man
who has bees, or wishes to have tEem, can
afford to do without this Hive.-Under

and told him to use it, which he did with
the result stated. Ball and Baer are now In
Jail. The deceased leaves . wife and four

numbers Of the Williamsburg Temperance

literary and local journal and All earnest ad-
Vocste of the cause it has espoused. Could

and they are the men who should see tina. it
secures it.--Judge Dean has presented the
editor of the Williamsburg VindicGtor with
an ear of corn containing 1878 grains. and
hence we take it that the aforesaid editor is
pretty well cOrned for temperance man.
John M'Oolgan, EST, we should have
said before this, has been appointed Post

JoLLY.-By MEcSAaHe.--Jolly is char
acter. He was born in England. Ia the
prime Of life and usefulness he emigrated to
the United States, which he has continued
ever since to make happy by his presence.
His avocstion has been double-that Of Pub
licau and Common Voucher. The duties Of
the FIRST position are pretty we'll understood
the duties of the latter will be found by the
student of Blackstone. somewhere in his
very entertaining Commentaries. where a
certain Jacob Moreland performs that office
Jolly, though his means of loco-motion
don't seem of the best, has q surprisingly
6ne knowledge Of the people of England and
Wales. He has ascertained further the fact,
which was not heretofore considered entirely
clear. that they have all "liVed in the United
States Eve years." and are very much at
tached to the constitution !" and the still
more remarkable fact that they are all men
''of good morut character"
This difficulty is explained. however, on
photographed principles. He only swears
TO their good MorreH character, and in this
be thinks he is Morley (m0raIly) right.
We understand that not long since an un-
fortunate Wechman came to grief by in

THASKSaIv1Eo.-To-da will no doubt
be pretty generally observed by our citizens,
and business of ell kinds will likely be sus-
pended for the time being. The churches,

livered at lO3 O'Clock A. N. by the pastor,
Rev. B. N. Kerr, on the subject "The Ma
tloE-Its heproach and Exaltatlon." A cor
dial invitation is extended to the public.
And here it may not be inopportune to say
that there is no more practical or pleasant
mode of giving thanks than by giving the
poor and hungry reason to feel that they also
have something for which to be thankful -
Therefore, while you heap up your basket
with all the delcacies of the season. 90 not
forget that other tables may look bleak
enough without your help.
TX AND OUT.-We should have noticed
ere this the fact that Mr.. Christian Singer
was sworn in as one of our Poor House Di-
rectors, to which he was elected in October,
at the last meeting of the Board. Mr.. S.
will make an honest and efficient Director,
and is just the kind of man that political
parties should elect to Office. Mr.. Jos. Dai-
ley, the outgoing Director, performed the
duties of the position faithfully and we'll, and
has our good wishes in his retirement The
