HONEY by THE TON.

In Los Angeles County. on the east
ern slope Of the San Francisco range
of mountains. and in the Immediate
vicinity Of the Leaning Petroleum
Company's oil region, there is the
most wonderful collection of wild
honey in existence. The hive is locat
ed in a rift, which penetrates the rock
to the depth, probably, of 100 feet.
The orifico is thirty feet long and sew.
entecn feet wide; four passages. The
rift was discovered to be .he syiding
place of swarm Of bees that is rep,
resented as coming out in nearly
solid column one foot in diameter.
Certain parties have endeavored to de-
scend TO the immense store of honey
collected by these boes, but were in.
variably driven back, and one man
lost his life in the effort Others have,
at the expense of much labor and
money, built scaflold l25 feet high
in the hope Of reaching place whence
they could run a drift into the rock
and extract its well boarded sweets.
but finally ceased their work. With,
in four years the bees have added not
less than fifteen feet of depth to their
treasure, as aseertained by actual
measurement, and it is thought that
at the present time there cannot be
less than eight or ten tons of honey in
the rock. A man named ID. Brophy
lives in cabin not far from the SPOT
and obtained from the melting of the
honey by the suns heat more than
enough for his family requirements.
All through that region immense
stores Of wild honey are found in trees,
in the rocks, in nearly every place
where Its industrious manufaetu
think of-for bees seem to think--tbat
il is secure. They consume very
small proportion, as the climate en-.
ables them to keep up operations near.

when the little fellows are not seen
abroad in vast numbers, busily engag
ed in their melliiluous work.

LIQUOR DRINKING.

Rev. DIR. John Hall closes a strong
article in the Independent, against
liquor drinking, with this paragraph:
The moderate drinker is giving the
sanction of his acts and the weight of
his example, perhaps, to strengthen
tendencies he has already communicat-
ed to the physical system of his child.
Any one may loosen the stone from
the hillside; but, once let go, he can
not call it back to his hand And a
thoughtless parent may give the earli-
est impulse to the appetite Of child,
and be powerless, even with tears and
groans and prayers, to check it when
the child is mature and an inebriate.
Oh parents, stop and think ! And
meantime God speed the men and the
societies that are trying TO form opin-
ion, check vice, reclaim the fallen and
save endangered; and who are doing
this under cold contempt, sometimes,
of the very persons who should have
the deepest interest in their success.
1t is small comfort to know that
drinkers are the victims of great sys-
tenn of fraud and deoeption-tTo-
thirds of the MADEIRA, champagne
and port being fraudulent, half that
which is called wine brushing lie,
and great portion of the So called
spirits the cheapest substitutes for alco-
hol. The mischief in the end is none
the less dreadful. "The devils meal"

verb, sis all BRAN" or, in the sober
denunciation of Scripture, there is
"woe to the drankards Of Ephraim."

While pain is a condition ef humanity
every effort to ameliorate its intensity, or
remove tine predisposing cause, merits our
warmest gratitude, our careful considera-
tion and its success our frank acknowledge
ment. There is peculiarly about the SEN
sation called pain which is of infinite service.
1t is a premonition of impending i'll, declar-
alton of war against the well being OF the
body which cannot be removed while the
cause exists. Remove the cause, and the
effect will cease, endeavor to cover up the
effect, and the cause will be intensified, the
anguish temporarily concealed, break forth
again with rcdoubled ardor. Many remedies
merely do this, and, after repeated trials, fail
to satisfy the conditions upon which only
can they be useful to humanity. Such medi-
cines have brief popularity, and are retired
as unworthy of public approval. There are
others which time tries but to enhance their
value, TO endorse and spread abroad their
usefulness and common humanity, the public,
is perpetual gamer by their extended popu-
larity and expanded sales. OF these, per
haps, there are no such two notable in
stances as the Davis Pain-Kiher and Aliens
Lung Balsam. The Pain-Killer may be
styled the mathematics of medicine, for 1t
never makes a mistake, its modifying intu-
cnee pervades the system, and one trial only
is requisite to make il a treasure forever. 1t
does not merely cover up, cures. All the
civilized nations of the earth admit its value,
accept its fame, and benefit by its use. 1t is
no fiattery to compare it to the sovereign
balm spoken of in the Holy Writ, for pain
flies from its presence, as night is dissipatcd
by the rising sun. Externally, internally,
and eternally it proves its value wherever
tried. The same holds good of Aliens Lung
Balsam, which, for all complaints of the air
passages of the lungs, has proved itself what
it processes to be-a positive specific. The
western world owes debt of gratitude it can
never repay to T. Fl. G. Allen, whose instru-
mentality was the handspring of the intro
duction of these medicines. For years he
was the painstaking pioneer of the Pain
Killer and other remedies westward, and the
old man and matrOn, the sturdy pioneer and
his courageous helpmeet, now enjoying a
prosperous old age, will testify to the aid and
comfort they received, years and years ago,
from these medicines, when drug stores were
few and doctors far apart. Under Providence
they will attribute their green old age, lusty
and kindly, to their acquaintance with these
mixtures, through the admirable ADvERTIs-
ING ENTERPRISE of T. II. G. Allen.-DdreIl-

Lost in the Snow.

TUESDAY, the 23d of January, 1872,
will long be remembered by the people of
Northern Colorado. Snow covered the
ground, yet the weather was pleasant,
and the mountains stood out grandly in
the sunlight. On the afternoon of this
day, jeremiah Fisk left the Higley coal
mine with load of coal for his home in
Greeley The distance is fourteen miles.
Two teams had gone before him, and
others were on their way to the mine. A
little after four o'clock, when in sight of
town, he passed two of his neighbors cut
ting ice in lake seven miles northwest
of Greeley. The Cache la Poudre River
lay at the foot of the slope, about two
miles due south of him, and the road
leads almost directly down to the river.
and follows it to the town limits. Not
long after leaving the lake he heard a
noise like the roaring of great water
spout. Instinctively he turned toward
the mountains they were calm and beau
tiful as in the morning, but northward,
where the Black Hills rise from the plains,
he saw vast wall of cloud approaching
with the speed of whirlwind. The roar
ing increased. At this moment the frozen
tidal-wave touched the foothills and
chased the sunbeams from the mountains
| like an avalanche. The horses rushed
| forward in terror, and second later they
were in darkness, the storm sweeping
over them with resistless fury Snow,
finer than the finest flour, filled the
air so that it was impossible to see a
hundred feet in any direction. Fisk
wrapt a buffalo robe around his neck and
shoulders, and urged his trembling horses
on, but they could not keep the road, and
in short time the plain was as trackless
as the sea. After the horses had left the
beaten way they could scarcely walk, and
it was not long before they refused to
move. The darkness increased and the
mercury was rapidly running down tc
zero.
No time must be lost The traces
We're unhitched and, mounting the
strongest horse, Fisk attempted to urge
him forward; but he would not go. Ther
he led them for time, but finding that
it took all his strength to keep the buffalo
robe from blowing away, he left the team
and pushed on before the wind, for the
wind was his only compass. The storm
increased in violence every moment, anC
it soon became dark and intensely cold
In many places the snow was deep, anC
more than twenty times the strong MAJ
