tFrom the Ohio Farmer.I
Bees Killed by Hornets.

Having noticed in several Of
the agricultural papers, lately, the
inquiry "What has become Of the
Bees?" / am induced to say some.
thing on the subject.
i see that the death of the bee
is attributed by several writers 10
the cold, wet Spring of1eG8, which
prevented their laying up an early
store Of honey; consequently they
died of starvation, or if they sur-
vived, were too weak TO resist the
attack Of the moth, etc. We have
had many Springs as wet and
cold as the last; still our bees have
not died. Now can you tell us
why the bees should be SO incon-
sistent Perhaps the writers
have not watched the bees closely.
Now | want to tell you what
killed the bees of Ross and Picka.
way counties last Summer. The
assassin was the Hornetl Did you
ever hear OF such q thing before2
We never have; but it is neverthe.
less fact. | saw it done myself,
and many Of my acquaintances
testify to the same in regard TO
their bees.
Last Summer bod eight stands
OF bees. Kept them in the com.
mon box hive at some distance
from the house. They seemed to
be doing very well, and sent off
several swarms, until the latter
part of June. wher ] noticed them
behaving strangely. They were
in great commotion, flying all
about the hives, sometimes
leaving the hives and settling on
trees and bushes near by, from
whence they would return again
TO the hives. Upon paying some
attention to them l found hun
dreds of hornets flying about, kill
ing the bees and entering and re-
turning from tho hives. This
continued for several days, during
which l found my bees rapidly de.
creasing in number. l concluded
they would do no good, so | killed
seven stands, from which l got
reasonable quantity of honey
The remaining stand, which yet
appeared quite strong, l removed
to a spot near the house, where
| could conveniently watch it,
The hornets followed the hive
| stopped up the holes in the
hives so that only bees could pass.
Still the hornets would come to
the hive each morning, remain
during the day, and kill every
bee that ventured out. / frequent
ly kept my eye on one hornet while
he would kill q half dozen or more
bees.
This continued for some time,
and as | could not trace the uar.
mints to their holes or prevent
their coming, l killed the few re-
naming bees, and got about forty
pounds of honey from the hive.
Almost every bee keeper within
an area of several miles around
me have been treated in the same
mander, bat never until last Sum-
mer. During dhe winter, since
the leaves fell from the trees, |
have noticed n greater number OF
hornets nests than ever before
Now | would like TO know if the
of the hornet have been
to my immediate vicinity
or has the like occurred in other
parts of the State, or in other
States? Aud how can we in future
prevent the evil. Respectfully,
G. A. ZELLE.

The Envelope Business.

Few persons are aware of the vas
rious results which have been con-
sequent upon the introduction into
extensive use of letter envelopes
Tons of paper and barrels Of muci-
lage are used every month in the
manufacture of the different kinds
of envelopes. In New York four
firms are extensively engaged in
the business, and many others do
something at it in q small way
The number of envelopes turned
out weekly is not far from four
millions, The gum used is +
preparation of starch called der.
trine, the value of which for seal
ing and stitfening purposes was
accideatally discovered in England
some time since. During the con-
flagration of a large -four wares
house, q cotton spinner worked at
carrying water and rolling out the
partially charred flour. In the
morning he found his cloths ire
mediably stiffened and glued to
gether.
On investigation, he ascertained
that the scorched -four would
form, with water, glutnious mat
ter much moro adhesive than any
known gum. Experiments res
vealed the fact that this prepara>
tion was better than gum arabic
for stiffening cotton goods, and the
discoverer kept his secret and
made money out of the manufac-
ture of "British gum" for cotton
dresses. But his success was his
ruin; He became q proAigate, his
secret was discovered, and dertrine
came into notice. 1t is now used
for all purposes where cheap mu'
cilage is required. For dressing
cotton goods, for preparing backs
of postage stamps, the edges of
envelopes, manufacturers la-
bells, &C., it has nearly ruined the
gnm arabic trade, as we'll as that

A COlOred Girl's Descent
into He'll and Ascent
into Heaven.

~~~N
The Rev. Mr.. BalIy, pastor Of
the Loring Street (colored)
Church, furnishes the Springfield
(Mass) Republican the following
curious and remarkable statement,
taken from the lips Of Lizzie West,
the colored girl who was lately
cntranced four days and four
nights. She says:
Before l went up to the mourn.
er's bench two spirits strove with
me. One said, Don't CO." and
the other Go" At length /
felt hot steam coming into my
face. / then rose and started to
the mourner's bench, and my face
was as cool as usual. Shortly af-
ter, while knceling, strove to get
up; but could not. Finally l lost
all knowledge Of things in this
world. The first sight l saw was
two white horses, which | started
to follow, but something snatched
me back and thrust me down into
a lake Of fire, and there burned
one whole day in the flames of
hell. 1t was a world of fire, and
/ saw the souls of many thousands
of thousands of men and women,
many Of whom | knew in their
lifetime, and knew they were
dead, rolling and crying in the
flames of hell, waiting until the
day of judgment to be judged. |
saw one man / knew, who died in
New Haven, nearly one year ago.
lie was burning in hell, waiting
for the day of judgment, and he
requested me 10 warn his son in
New Haven not to come to that
place, but to get religion and save
his soul. After my days burning
l was caught mp to God in Heav.
en-, where | saw the Lord himself
and all the mighty angels stand
around him, and with them the
souls of all the saints that died in
the faith Of Jesus. Many Of them
were people with whom l have
been acquainted in their life. time.
! saw some Of my own relatives in
Heaven and some in hell. While
there l looked over the whole
world, and saw what all the
churches were doing. When the
churches below are happy, singing
and shouting and praising the
Lord. all Of the saints and angels
sing the same songs Of praise with
them. saw every person that
touched my body while it lay un-
conscious of anything around it,
When some people came near my
body they were hot as fire, and
when others came they were as
pleasant as the summers breeze.
| also saw, while the Christians in
the Loring street Church were
praying for me, there were certain
others who pretended TO be my
friends in times past, and had com
muned with me often, who were
that l would never wake
out Ct sleep, but the Lord never
received their prayers. Twice
while Brother Baily was singing
certain hymns, ard all heaven was
singing with him, l desired to
come down and be with them, but
was still detained above. The
Lord told me that l must never 60
to balls or any wicked parties any
more, but be good girl and serve
Him all the days of my life, and
then como to Him. l hope this
will suffice to let every sinner and
hypocrile know that there is a heav.
en- of happiness, and also q burn
ing hell of torment.

HAPPINESS AT HoME.-If man
is so situated that he can not be
happy in his family relations, he
will not enjoy happiness at all.
Man must cultivate, therefore, and
look for this great end Of his Ia
bors at home in the bosom of his
wife and in the affection Of his
children. Around his own hearth,
in the presence of a loving family,
the husband and father, himself
the affectionate head of the house
hold, can not be otherwise than
happy. he has no competitor in
bosiness there, no opposing candi-
dates for hOnors, no grasping, un.
scrupulous enemy.
