The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1874-02-05

A BEE raiser in New England is
said to have patented an invention for
the protection of bees from the attacks
of the honey moth, which enters the
hives at night and rifles the stores.
The idea arose out of his familiarity
with the daily routine not of bees only,
but of hens. Hens, he observed, re-
tire to rest early; bees seek repose
earlier still; no sooner arethey sunk
in slumber than the moth steals into
their abode and devours the produce
of their toll. He has now built n
stand ofhives with hen-house above
it. The bees first betake themselves
to their dwelling and settle themsel-
yes for the night. The hens then
come home to roost on their perch,
and, as they take their place upon it,
their weight sets some simple mech
anism to work, which mt once shnts
down the doors of all the hives.
When the day dawns, however, the
hens leave their roost, and the re-
moval of their weight from the perch
raises the hive doors and gives egress
to the bees In time for their mornings
work.

this: "How many yards of cloth,

at each end for the lap, would 1t re-
quire to reach from the centre OF the
sun to the centre of the earth, and

THE London Globe remarks that
some statistics, contained in Mr..
Winslow's book, Just published,
that the increase of insanity in En-
gland Is too formidable to be contem-
plated without dismay. The census
of 1861 In England showed one insane
person In $40. Ten years later the
proportion had increased to one In
403, which, taking into consideration
the relative increase Of population,
makes the number Of insane very
nerrly double.

Seeing Is Relieving,

If in this liberal age there are persons TO be
found who are SO blinded by prejudice as not
TO believe that medical stimulani is an item
of immense importance in the catalogue Of
human remedies, we should ike them 10 wit
ness the wonderful effect which Hostetter's
Stomach Bit;ers are now producing all over
the country in cases Of intermittent lever,
rheumatism, bilious disorders, dyspepsia,
nervous complaints, unconstitutional debility,
mental depression and premature decay. 10
be sure these effects re nothing new. The
great vegetable inyigorant and It's cures have
been before the people for more than twenty
hive years, and in every year OF The twenty
five its popularity has increased and its sale
has become larger. Yet there are no doubt
many thousands of intelligent citizens who
have never had an opportunity Of observing
Tor themselves the surprising changes which
this unequalled tonic and Alternative produces
10 systems which seem to be hopelessIv bro
ken, and in cases of disease which are not
amensble TO ordinary remedies. Probably
many Of these regard the statements MADE 10
relation to the sanitary properties of the Bit
tiers with some degree Of incredibly. Would
that all such skeptics could see with their own
eyes what the medicine is doing for the sick
and feeble everywhere, what q staff Of life II is
proving to the aged and infrm, what help in
time Of trouble 10 feeble women suffering from
the complaints and disabilities peculiar 10 the
sex, what protection 10 health and life in
malarious districts, what a panacea for Ian
guor aud depression, what specific for all
diseases in which the system requires 10 be
yitalized and sustained. or all stimulants it
is the purest and safest, Of all tonics the most
genial, effective and agreeable. Of all alteIa-
tives the least violent and the most Certain 10
its beneficial results.

A WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED IN
CALIFoRNIA.-The details of horrible
murder, commttd at San Diegito, about
twenty-six miles from San Diego, have
been received by way of the latter
place. The discovery of this terrible
butchery of the whole Oyerend family
was made bya neighbor, and he brought
word of it to San Diego. On passing
the house of the Overends, and not
seeing any one about he approached the
door to Investigate, when he found a
man lying near with his head beaten in.
Near the stove was the mans wife
whose head had been split open, appar-
emily with an axe. Lying in the cradle
was an infant girl, only few months
DID, who had also received fatal blow
with an axe. Under the bed, where he
probably crawled to hide, was nine
year old boy, whose head had been split
open while in sitting posture. A boy
of seven years and girl of five were
found on the bed, each ones head hav-
ing been rent in twain with the same
fatal instrument. The murder was pro.
badly done Oh Friday or Saturday, as
the blood was still a bright red, and
fresh in appearance. John Overend was
ffty-fve years of age, and native Of
Ireland One year ago he was married
to Mrs Mary Horseteldt, aged thirty
years The children above mentioned
were Mrs Horsefeldt's 10y former hus-
band.-,San Francisco Chronicle.

\ DAsTARDLY ACT.-On Saturday G.
rening last an outrageous case of shoot
ing occurred a short distance below this
city which might have been attended
with fatal results. The particulars as
they have been given to US are as fol
lows: Two or three quite small boys
among them a son of Mr.. Ed Gassman,
barber, and Mr.. Henry Magruder,
Chief of Police, while walking along
the railroad track on the BERN side of
the canal got into war of words with
one John Rawlins, better known rs
"Georgetown," who was on boat just
leaving this port for Georgetown. The
nature Of the quarrel was trivial and
childish, but Rawlins took umbrage at
it, and picked up gun loaded with
shot and discharged it at the boys.
Three shot took effect in the person of
young Gassman, one in the chin and
two in the upper part OF the head.
The wounds are by no means DANCE
rous, but that does not relieve the act
of any of its heartless barbarity. The
boat proceeded on its way carrying
Rawlins with it, but he will be inter
viewed on the subject if he ever returns.
