cred on a portion of his land, on Hamp-
tons branch, quantity Of rock resem-
bling sandstone, which is supposed by

in the ground which are several feet deep,

To Bee-keepers Everywhere

To Bee-keepers Everywhere:
The following points ofexcellence comprise
few of the many, that may be truthfully
claimed for my hive:
|. Ii is simple in construction. neat in APP
pearance and is the most easily understood and
managed movable comb frame Hive ever in
vented.
. The only material required in its con-
struction is 20 feet Of lumber, the nails neces-
sary to fasten il together and a few small scraps
of wire cloth To cover ventilators. Not u
screw, screw eye, hook and eye, hinge, pivot,
piece of tin tin tube, glass, or other expensive
material is used in its construction.
g. When properly used, IL Is the coule-s hive
for summer AMI as warm ~ the warmed for
winter use, aiiording ample protection for the
successful vintering Of colonies ON the sum
mer stand.
T. BY it, uae the necessity for "honey boards
or "honey bars" is entirely dispensed with,
while the chambers may be contracted to suit
the condition Of any sized colony Of from one
single frame VI ten, enabling the keeper to con
fine the animal heat to the space only occupied
by the colony.
ling, and the brood is less exposed than in
using other irst-class hives.
o. While il does not claim 10 be positively
moth proof" under all circumstances, yet il is
provided with the least expensive and most
eiiectual device for the capture and Obstruction
Of moth millers ever attached to hive, and
will do more To protect the bees from the raw
ages Of that terrible seourgc than all the ex-
pensiye and complicated traps" ever invented
and will in most cases afford perfect protection.
T. The construction is such that the frames
and false ends fit equally well either the brood
or surplus chamber.
g. A number Of small colonies or nuclei
may bc u,ed in the same hive, or one or more
may be kept in surplus chamber, receiving all
the necessary natural warmth from the colony
confined To the brood chamber.
Other advantages might he enumerated, but
the above arr deemed sufficient.

Ben Hardin's Revenge.

We are indebted to Major Geot ge Work, :

used by these gentlemen in the course of the

State while the Legislature was in session.

rendering him the freedom of the House OF

was by courtesy entitled to a seat within its
bar The resolution was defeated by the ac-
tlys efforts OF friend of Mr.. Prentss, rs it
was thought, in memory OF the Harrodsburg
affair. ctore this Mr.. prentiss had gained
in the courts of Mississippi the great suit i,-
volying tlhe title to the leyee Of the city of
Vieksburg. The opposing counsel had unan-
ino,lslv concluded that an appeal 10 the Su-
prel,ie Court OF the United states could not
be successfully prosecuted. A copy of the
suit had been thrown aside as woi hless, and
had found its way to tile house of legal
gentleman with whom Mr.. Hardin was
spending few days. Idle curiosity, or that
intense love of mischief which sometimes IN
spiled Mr.. Hardin. led him to examine the
record. lie thought the case could be re-
versed, ordered an appeal and followed it to
Washington city. Mr.. Prentiss did not seem
to tear the result, although lie had sold MANY
levee lots at fabulous prices with deeds of
general warranty, and did not go to Wash
