'Tis early morn the light mist floats away

ALady Dies from the sting ora Zee.

A very strange, and we should say
somewhat doubtful case Of death from
the sting of bee, is reported to have
occurred at Lynnville, Ill. A Mrs.
Strange, the wife of blacksmith Of that
town, and the mother of several chill
dren, was stung by honey-bee while
picking apples in the orchard, AMI died
from the effects of it in about ten min
utes after going to her room. The
poison took effect so rapidly that the
head was swollen to twice its natural
size in less than an hour, and on the
following day the whole body presented
the appearance of being in the last
stage Of decomposition. We find from
our exchanges that several persons have
lost their lives in different parts Of the
country during the past few weeks from
a similar cause. In wet weather the
sting of the bee is always increased in
venom, and just at this time the hives
should be approached with great caution.

A thoughtful observer on woman s
rights comes to their defense very effect
lively as follows: II have seen women
so delicate that they were afraid to ride
for fear of the horses running away;
afraid to walk for fear the dew might
fall; afraid TO sail for fear the boat might
upset; but l never saw one afraid to be
married, which is more riskful than all
the others put together"

a process by which maple sugar can be
