4 Rashful Groom.

Last night man, evidently very fresh, walked in to ono of the hotels of this place, and looking timidly at the handsome blonde clerk, indica
 ted in the usual way his desire to register. The clerk made adive for the pen and handed it to him, and as quick as thought his name went down on the book. He hesitated . moment, and planted the name of . miss right under his. The clerk look
 ed first at the young man and then at the book. and finally put the num- bers of the rooms that the two were to occupy opposite their names. When the couple got ready to re- tire, the blonde clerk was very forci- bly informed by the young lady that she had been joined to that young man in the holy bonds of wedlock just that morning at 10 o'clock, and she also rcminbed the blond clerk that she had no idea of roasting away from her fresh hubby. The blonde clerk of course explained the matter in accordance with the action of the young man. and then retired, leaving the timid couple to argue the point whether or not the same blankets should sheild their forms from the cruel sangs of Jack Frost.

The Most Extensive Bee Farm in
 the World.

Near the village of Beeton, Ontar- 10, Canada, there is bee farm which is probably one of the most extensive and successful things of the kind in the world. It consists of four bee yards situate at the an- gles of a square which embraces several square miles of country. The current year, so far, has proved favorable for honey. Mir. D. A. Jones, the owner, had at the end of July already secured 50,000 lbs of honey from 620 stocks of bees. The hives used are oblong pine wood boxes, with a cubic capacity of 3, 240 inches, the inside measure being 15 by Is by 12. Ths proprietor ex
 poets . total yield for the year of 10000 lbs of honey from 90,O0O, 900 little workers, in which case he would net between $7,000 and $l0,000 for the years product, without talk ing into account the sale of swarms or of queen bees.-Grocers Manual.

RUSSELLVlL MARKERS.
Jan 1st 1880.

Cotton, ever since the holidays, has been dull, with light receipts. The doubt and great difference of opinion as to the extent of the crop has also had tendency to make both buyers and sellers feel cautious about dealing in cotton-all hands preferring to await the developments of the first few days after the holidays to sec how receipts would hold up. It is now generally conceded that the crop will be at least 200, 1000 bales in excess of last seasons yield.
 There will, however, be good demand for it all and no decline in prices is ex- pected. As to the extent any rise which may, by some, be expected ,!that is all entireIy problematical.
 We give quotations in the Russell vile market as follows:

Clark Township Scraps.
 LONDON, Jan. 2d, 1880.


 It being some time since anything appeared in the DEMOCRAT from Clark township, I have concluded to give you some scraps.
 The New Year has come and found us as happy as usual.
 Health tolerable good.
 The Sheriff is here gathering up some of our nickels.
 The roads over here are getting pretty muddy, We have just ended a seige of working on road district No. 4 and the hands are re-warned to work on the 9th and 7th of January. We have an energetic, go-a-head overseer, and we expect to have a road second to none, though we are not prepared to work as we should be; we generally have few old bro- ken shovels and spades and shrub axes and the like. This is giving Clark some heavy jolts, though the above is about the kind of imple- ments we have for road tools, and with such it is almost impossible to keep . road in good condition. Can't the county provide3 Why not pay road tax, which is the on. ly remedy. $. U. E.
