 "Hot" furnishes no description of the kind of weather we have been hay ing in this devoted valley for some time past.

If they do not stop sending us such hot blasts, it will be a just cause for dec- laration of war. Stop it.

Miss Betts, of Woodbury, assisted by Mr. Charles Hawlcy, of New York, played several fine piano duets. The violin was fairly made to talk familiar airs by the hands of MT. Frank Hawley, of Brook field. The vocal part of the entertain ment dcvolved upon Mr. Charles Hawley. This furnished pleasant part, as the selections rendered were well received and justly appreciated by all present. Mir.

Editor of the Bee:
 The array of figures by Bro. Wheeler, last week presented to the readers of THE BEE. are wonderfully interesting. We are glad to know that they did not originate with him, and that they were compiled by the highest authority. It would be interesting to know who were employed to travel about and gather up such statistics, and what salary they had for doing it. How fortunate in the following statement: "Cost of liquors in the world in ten years, s64. 405, ,042. 234 that the three last figures were not cyphers. Had they been, We might have thought that 1t all was guess work entirely. Aa old teamster was once praising his horses to passenger; he said one horse was disposed to draw all the load, and the other was perfectly willing it should. So If Bro. Wheeler wants to carry about with him such an overwhelming load of figures. we are perfectly willing he should; there. is nothing in the Constitution to prevent him; but when he attempts to fire them of he may expect to get fired at in re- turn. The right of self-defence (which he denies to his hearers in meeting) he can't prevent his opponents from exer- cising outside. WILLIAM PLATT.

 Downes X Mitchell have just received a choice stock of new goods, which they are selling at astonishingly low figures ; so low, in fact, as to make the advertised prices of some out-of-town dealers ap- pear ridiculous when compared with the prices they actually sell at. AS to flour, they receive theirs direct from the mill, thus savingthe commission of the whole sale dealers, giving their customers the benefit of it; and your correspondent Is ready to vouch that there is not better flour in the market than their choice pastry" which they deliver at your own door at the exceedingly low price of s7 per barrel. The flour cannot be beat, and do not believe the price can.

Editor of the Bee:
 In your issue of the 18th inst. Mir. H. L. Wheeler favored-after long delay the public with an answer-or. as he says, conclusive answer"-to my criticism in reference to the statistics read by him at the temperance meeting in the Methodist church. Mr. Wheeler says the "assumed conclusiveness Of his article" (mine) "and the attempt to throw discredit upon the speaker makes this reply necessary" Now if these are the only reasons MT. W. has for answer ing me. he need not have taken the trouble, as I will endeavor to show. Why should not 'assume conclusive ness" when I gave extracts from the sworn annual reports of the superinten- dents of iasdne asylums, whose word cannot be gainsaid. and which MT. ". has not refuted, or even eontradicted Why did not Mr. W. go to the fountain head for his information it was as ac- eessible to him as to mel instead of talk ing and repeating those whose accuracy had been called in question? Now I as- sert the statistics Mr. W. produced in reference to insanity are aot correct and if all of them made that night. and subsequently, published in his article. are based upon the same source of iIi- formation, simply say they are not rt- liable. Now I will take the report oi one of the largest and test-conducted asylums in this or any other country, situated in the city of Utica. N. r.. a
