Sunday.
On the eve of the 21st, A. T. Mason
met with an unfortunate accident, break
ing the leftleg near the ankle. Dr. Mitchell
was promptly called in, and the extreme
carehlness, yet thorough manner with
which he attended to the case, affords the
best of evidence that he is master of his
profession. The fracture is doing well
and we hope he will in few days, be able
to take charge Of his business.

quite a noted place in those days; the

After so long a season of extreme cold
weather, we are more reioiced at the
Spring-like appearance of the season,
which again reminds us of the promise OF
''seed time and harvest" We arc also
rejoiced at the spirit of improvement
which seems to be taking hold of our vii
lage, by way of Sticking up and painting
up; we do hope 1t will not stop until the
Congregational Society rejuvenate their
house Of worship by giving it at least two
coats of outside painting and then geNa
good warm hearted minister, so that il
will be source of delight to sit under the
droppings of the sanctuary; more espe.
cially do we wish this if it shall turn out
that our Methodist friends are not going
to be able to pay up for past preaching
and support it in the future. For the feel
ings of lamentation and sorrow would
seize hold of us at the thought Of having
no preaching in the shire town of the
county, the coming year.

Island Pond.

The Secretary of the Treasury has de-
cided the question SO long in dispute be-
tween Island Pond and Portland rela tive
to the transportation Of goods in bond.
The ruling is that the provisions for seal
ing cars under Consularmanifcst does not
secure the goods in question from the ne
cessity of entry at the first port, but that
an entry thereof is indispensable before
they can be permitted to traverse the ter
ritory of the United States. This is de-
cision against Portland. Instructions to
this effect will be Immediately sent to all
collectors.

SWEET DREAMS OF NIGHT.
BY WILLIAM BRUNToN

BY WILLIAM BRUNToN.
Sweet dreams of night come like the stars.
To save from want the waste of sleep:
And Fancy's hand the gate urbars,
That cares of day from mortais keep;
The angels speak in loye-tones sweet
To ears ali deaf in sunny light,
And soul with soul doth fondly meet,
In dreams of love, sweet dreams of night !
Sweet dreams of night come like the dew
That cheers the flowers that droored in d AZ
And faded hopes and loves renew,
That else would die and pass away.
We are not left alone in woe,
To grope forlorn to reach the right:
Sweet angels come. we truly know,
In dreams of love. sweet dreams of night
Sweet dreams of night come like the fow-
ers-
Tie flowers spring brings fresh and fair.
To tell of summers surely ours
In realms of light beyond compare:
They may be touches faint and few.
But still they come with wOndrous might.
For heaven appears to vision true,
| And spirit friends in dreams of night

RULES IN HIVING BEES.

). s. ]. Parker, M. D.. giuvef the Ger
nsonto"a Telegraph series of rules to
be observed in hiving bees which W,
have somewhat condensed as follows:
fst. Allow no one to stir or max,
the least noise while the bees are light
ing What Not blow horn, or ring !
bell, or drum on tinpan, or throw dust
or water Not do anything! Yes
readers; just exactly do nothing but
keep still, Now | have followed this
rule in over eight hundred swarms ]
have hived for myself and others, and
tell you the broad fact I have never
| lost o single swarm in all that number.
Bees aosW not 60 tao hundred feet from
the h6Oe they come out of If you Jet all be
peg5sctly quiet, and there is ANYTHING to
| light on. My bees not one out hun
dred swarms SO evea one hundred feet
before they Gls0ays light. So it will be
with your bees. no noise, but all quiet
until they are we'll lighted: Then bring
oat the hive from the cool cellar-where it
has been day or two, lest it get damp
and mouldy-neat and claen, and as yoo
of course have the strips Of boards or
sticks, boards, hiving-cloth, ETC., ready,
proceed to place your ladder and plat
form in the tree or on the ground, and
other appliances SO that before the last
bee has Lit you are ready to hive them.
End. Never put o swarm of bees
directly into a hive. You ask why not !?
Because If you do the bees may not
know it is hive they are in, but only
think they Lave had slight accident
or jar while yet on their lighting-limb
or place. So they will leave the hive
and go off to the woods, because they
dent know they are hived. Hence,
you will place the hive so that when
shaken off of the limb they lit on, they
alt have to creep buzzing into the hive,
aud all go Voluntarily up ON the inside of
it, Then they will not make the
mistake of thinking they are not hived,

Sd. You need not he very quiet or
e}ow about making bees go into. the
Hive, You minded the bees till they lit,

,shem mind you. So a gentle lndeness
III shaking eff the limb is as good as
saying to them, Bees you have left

in the hive readily, take dippep or fiat
piece OF shing4e or board, dip Up. few,
q pint or SO, and shake them roughly
close to the hive, as if to say ":Fhere

Then brush rapidly, but gently, the rest
towards the hive.
4th. AS soon as the most of them
are in, be rsa6y to remove them to their
permanent stand. Thus you avoid the
coming OUT of second swarm, and the
lighting and commirgllng of two
swarms. Thus you get.rid, too, of the
few bees always uneasy and flying about
this swaaaa, and who doubtless are the
ones that find and lead the swarms off
to sons hollow tree or log in the woods
These bees are rarely over twenty to
fifty IN number; ofteu not ten of them
