We desire to express our hearty ac-
acknowledgement to the people of Sand
gate, for their very liberal donation,
last evening, amounting to $llO.4S in
cash, and about $40 in produce. We
assure our friends their kindness is
appreciated, not simply as testimoni-
al oil personal regard, though as such
it is invaluable, but as another indica-
ton, added to the many already mani
tested, of an increasing interest in the
Gospel Of our blessed Lord and Saviour.

add that these conclusions have been
supported by the actual experience o.

!. That the narrow gauge road,

business demands, is capable Of per.

a much less cost

the cost Of similar outfit for the broad
gauge road.
A. That it can be operated for from
so to 10 per cent. Of the cost Of operat,
ing broad gauge roads, depending up.
or the amount Of business to be done
and that both the road and machinery
can be kept in repair for about one hal
the usual expenditure for that pur
pose.
5. That the speed now usual,
maintained in our ordinary railwa,
traflic-both passenger aud freight
may be fully adhered to on the three
feet roads.
6. That, on account Of cheapness il

greatly increased durability, the three

THE ELECTION
--latest by Telegraph.

The Louisiana returning board has
declared for the Hayes electors by
over 1000 majority. The state officers
aud legislature are also Republican.
In South Carolina the Republican
Legislature has canvassed the votes
and declared Chamberalin Governor.
There has been no outbreak, though
matters look threatening and
Wade Hampton is reported as saying
that he will be Governor or there will
be military governor.
A despatch from Florida, Dec. 9th,
says that the result has been declared
for the Hayes electors by small ma
'lority. This gives 1876 votes, or just
enough to elect Hayes, unless the
Democrats can devise some means &c
reverse the decision or carry it into
congress, which they will try hard tC
do, but we DO not sec how they car
succeed without producing serious
trouble.

BHATTLEBoRO AND WHITEHALL
a.. IL. co.
We publish, in another column, the
act recently passed by our Legislature,
aud approved BY the Governor, for the
organization of the Brattleboro &
Whitehall Railroad Company. While
changing the name and giving all need
ed authority TO extend the road to
Whitehall, and to towns to aid in the
construction of the same, it preserves
all that has been done under the West
River railroad charter and organization,
so that no step backward becomes nee.
essary under the proposed changes.
The act is entirely satisfactory to the
/ friends OF the enterprise, and seems to
meet every requirement of the case
The engineers, who have now spent
six weeks in the survey, have nearly
completed their field work, and in two
or three weeks more the results of their
lsbors will be put 10 proper form for
public inspection, with profile, maps,
estimates, &C.. from which an accurate
judgement can be formed OF the charac.

Honey Production

T. B. Miller in the Country Gentleman,
gives the following insight into the glowing
accounts of bee keeping SO often met with
in the papers:
Many persons are interested in knowing
what the profits in bee keeping are generally,
as they often see in papers accounts of enor-
nous quantities of honey being produced
sometimes as much as 200 or 300 pounds OF
box-honey per stock of family; and, as have
been bee-keeper about forty years, in diff,
ferent states, having studied the subject
thoroughly, and being the author of the first
full work on the domestic economy and man.
agement of the honey-bee in this country, I
think may claim to understand the subject
to some extent. / make these remarks be-
cause New Jersey is not famous for lis great
apiaries, nor has this state ever produced
any very skilful apiarians, owing to the fact
that the bee pasturage is not as good here as
it is in some other places. In the first place
bee keeping in its most successful point of
view is scence-that is, it requires about as
much skill, care and watchfulness, in order
to be successful with an apiary of three or
four hundred hives, as it does to run steam
boat or cotton factory; and as was truly
observed by bee-keeper, at a late conven-
ton of apiarians. ''those who make money on
bees earn it." We seldom see in the bee
papers, or elsewhere, a fair candid Statement
OF the dlf1cnltleS one has to encounter IN This
business. when bees are kept in large and
small quantities, the bright side being gen.
orally held up to view, while the dark side is
concealed. This is to be expected, as few
men take the trouble to send an account of
send an account of their misfortunes to pub
fishers, while those who are successful hasten
to lay their achievements before the public,
often embellished with few extra touches of
the writer's pen that facts do not warrant.
Sometimes the man is the originator of a
hive, and as advertising in the usual way
costs some money. these persons write to the
papers stating what enormous quantities of
honey they obtain in "the--hive that
use''-so worded that many bee-keepers will
write to them inquring about the merits Of
their hive and where it can be obtained.
Then the great quantities OF honey stored up
by the particular families of bees may be true
in some cases; but they fail to inform their
readers that the stocks that stored up this
honey were in non-swarming hives, large and
capable of containing two or three families
united, in order to produce a large amount of
box-honey, as an advertisement of their
hives.
