A SINGULAR INCIDENT:

|
Haynes, his wife and little boy,went
to gather some blue grass seed, and
while engaged in gathering the seed,
a swarm of bees alighted upon the
boy, literally covering him from
head to foot. They hung from his
ears, chin and nose in great lunches,
and clung in thick clusters to every
part of his body. Mr.. Haynes re
alizing the dangerous situation in
which his child was placed, com
manded him to stand perfectly still,
andif possible not to move muscle,
This the brave little fellow did until
the bees had all settled. Mr.. Hay
mes then took a stick, gently lifted
the boys hat from his head, and
placed it upon neigboring bush,
when the entire swarm left their ex-
traordinary resting place, and took
to the hat and bush. Strange to re
late, the boy received but one sting,
and that was caused by his seizing
with his teeth, a bee that was trying
to make his way into his mouth.
If GOODNESS, presence of mind,
and unflinching nerve in the pres
ence of danger, entitle one to the
honors Of a hero, then this little
boy should certainly be enrolled in
the calendar.-Randolph { Mo- Cit
