KILLED By BEEs.-We understand
that fine horse was killed last week
by having been stung by Bees. The
horse belonged to Mr.. Daniel Shelter,
but was in the service of Mr.. S. B.
Roland, residing on Baltimore street
Of this town, whose bees attacked him,
and stung him so severely as to cause
his death in some fifteen or eighteen
hours afterwards. The sting, of
single bee with its accompanying
poison, is shock to the nervous sys- /
.em, and it is, therefore, not surpris.
ng that the concentrated power Of
hive of them should be sufficient to
destroy life in both uan and best.
