A Fit of Jealousy.

A friend of ours in Palestine, who has taken an interest in us from our start, had an unpleasant experience a few days ago, growing out of his attachment to the BEE His bees seeing that the NEW TOWN BEE received all his attention, to their neglect, became jealous, got their ire aroused, and determined to punish him. They laid plot and carried it out with fiendish ingenuity. They turned out e,. lRaSse, pretending to "swarm, and after reconnOitcring and skirmishing about, took a position on a high tree apparently well disposed, and awaited their opportunity. Our friend, supposing they had no evil intentions, went to hive they had had demonstrations of that in the interest he took in the BEE and when be swell in the tree and within range. they pitched for his cranium, and finding it mot very well protected by it's natural covering, they commenced stab- ufIIg risht and left, making good use of their lime. Our friend did not exactly fee, but be fell back to obtain better position, fighting bravely as he withdrew. The battle over, his good wife extracted the stings with considerable difficulty, and bathed the wounds, pouring in oil and wine (all but the wine). The bees Overshot the mark (as sudden passion generally oyerdoes itself), for our friend immediatelyrenewed his subscription for the BEEtand doubled it. His wife made a cast of his head in bi-carbonate of soda, and contemplates having bust of the hero of the battle executed, to com memorate the event.

The Storms.

The heavy thunder showers ot last ~aak and the damage by Lightning In many sections of this State was very severe. The number of lives lost and the quantity of property destroyed ,exQites alarn and scores of persons who niaye never felt my anxiety before dur ing thunder storms say now that the two last storms have made them feel very nervous. In this town the lightning struck in many places, but fortunately In every case reported the objects struck were trees. The lightning struck tree near Mir Philo Clarks house; chestnut tree near the residence of Mr. B. Platt, in Dodgingtown, was shivercd; n chest nut tree near the residence of Mir Josiah Booth (which WAS struck last Summer and greatly damagcd) wa again struck Tuesday, the 9th The theory that lightning never strikes in the same place twice does not seem to hold good in this instance.
 Mir. Burr Mallctt of Bridgcwatcr, is reported to have died of the injuries he received during the storms of last week.

A Dog Celebrating the Fourth of July
 in Ncwtown.

After Fred (his kind mastery had ex- plained to him the reason of so many firecrackers on the immortal 4th, he tied pack to "Spot's" tail and "touched them of" Spot instantly commenced to celebrate the victory of the Young Nation" ,oyer the " British Lion" He was big dog to start so suddenly, and he seemed to think that the greater the speed the greater respect for the immor- tai day. He went up street with winged feet, to quote the father of all poets, but turned about as if no no firing was needed up that way. and made for Fred, (as if he could help celebrate ) Fred and his patriotic companions only laughed, and yelled hurrahr' Every explosion seemed to change ends with the dog, and he made more noise than was wanted to do honor to several lFourths. Itis estimated by good judges that Spot travelled twenty miles before the last gun was fired, and he never met his master for two months after without dropping his eyelashes. Spot never will be anxious to celebrate again. The smell of powder drives him under the barn, and the report of gun within hearing distance makes him tremulous with fear. Why Fred should be so excessively patriotic as to call on his dog to celebrate the glorious day, was probably owing to his being an earnest '' Union man, and the son of the great est military genius Newtown ever had.
