We were. rather premature, last
week, in reporting that Rev. ]. B.
Pritchard, of Ludington, conducted re-
ligious services at the Hall, Wednes-
day evening. We trust, however, tho T.
no harm was DONE. 1t isn't quite as
bad for us as 1t might have been if we
had given a full report Of the exercises,
sermon and all.
We acknowledge receipt Of COM
plimentary to the State Fair, which
takes place at Detroit, next week. We
certainly would be pleased to use the
card board; rs we've no doubt but that
the exhibition promises to be one of
the finest ever held in the State. Pres
ident Hayes will visit the show, and
no pains are being spared torender the
Thirty first Annual Fair OH occasion of
profit and pleasure to all concerned.
As sample of the profit from keep
ing bees In this locality; fact we have
alluded to at times; we take the ex-
perience of John Watson, OF this town
ship, who commenced i'm the Spring of
1873 with two swarms of Italians and
the Mitchell hives. Last year they
gave him an increase of seven swarms,
and about 200 pounds of honey. This
year has increased the colonies to
twenty-five; and the seasons product
of honey will not fall short of about,
600 pounds. The plains are covered
every season with variety Of wild
flowers, which, together with the bass-
woods along the streams, the buck
wheat, clover, &C., afford ample ma
terial for the industrious little creatures
to manufacture the luscious sweet of
honey from. s ~.
