that the price of swarm of bees just
as they issue from the old hive in
swarming time, is from $3.50 to 50.

worth $500. My price in the past,
for hives, has been $3.50 all COM

Agricultural and Horticultural
Fairs.

Tie rapid advance OF Horticultural
and Agricultural pursuits, during the
few years that Florida has obtained
prominent notice in advancing new
line OF commercial vegetable pro-
ducts, has had a marked effect in the
improved growth, and general mans
agement OF groves and gardens run
by men, who, a few years ago, We're
unfamiliar with any thing pertaining
to this business. Much Of this is
undoubtedly owing to the mutual
exchange OF ideas, tostered by the va
riuus Horticultural Societies estab>
lished in all the advanced settled
districts; the care and supervision, of
their more wealthy neighbors, many
ofwhom are to be found giving freely
their time and money, or both, to as,

And again, the fairs established
throughout the country are doing
good work in bringing together the
results Of the practice for the edit
cation of the visitors and emulation
of growers in general. Nor is this
the only advantage to be seen. The

Accidentally Poisoned.

Rev. James Cameron, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, Oakland, was accident
ally poisoned yesterday afternoon BY a dose
of carbolic acid, administered in mistake by
his wife. He resided with his wife at the
house of DR.. Barber, Oakland, and he was be-
ing treated by DR.. Barber. An operation had
been performed on his foot on Monday, and
he was using a carbolic wash for the wound.
He was also taking tonic digestive medicine.
A few minutes after four O'Clock yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Cameron was reminded by DR..
Barber that the patient had not taken his
medicine. She went into the back room
where the medicine was kept. The room was
somewhat dark, the blinds being drawn down,
and Mrs. Cameron took bottle off the man
tel, not noticing any other, or thinking Of any
other, and filed out dose in a wine glass.
She brought it to him and he drank off about
half of it, and then stopped, saying: ut
tastes very strong. Is there anything in
it," Then he swallowed the remainder OF the
dose. Mrs. Barber said: "Could it be any
the odor of carbolic acid, and remembered
that the bottle of carbolic acid was also on the
mantel. She whispered her suspicious to DR..
Barber, who quickly obtained an emetic and
ordered an antidote to follow. The emetic
would not work, as he could not swallow,
but they forced down as much magnesia and
oil as they could. DR.. Wythe and DIR. Buck
we're sent for, but too late to be of any as
sistance, as he died in few minutes after.
The bottle which contained the tonic MKT
ure hypophosphites which Mr.. Cameron WAS
taking was highshouldered medicine bottle,
about three sizes larger than the carbolic acid
bottle, and both were labeled, but Mrs. Cam
eron had not been in the habit of giving her
husband his medicine. Mr.. Cameron was .
native of Greenock, Scotland, and was sixty
four years of age.-Sdn Francisco BuNetiA.

Tho fatal pork parasite, trichine, has again
brought disorder and death to family who
neglected the prscaution Of thoroughly cook
ing their meat. Thursday Of last week, DR..
G. II Emrick was called to visit the family OF
John Straese, . German, and the physician
found Straese, his wife, two men boarders and
6 male relative Of the family suffering severe
illness, with symptoms of trichiniasis. He
administered remedies, and the patients
seemed in fair way Of recovery, but in the
case of the woman, Henrietta Straese, aged
thirty-two years, the parasites soon left the
internal canals and began to multiply in the
muscles, and she died Thursday in great ago
ny, and was buried yesterday.
The men are stiIl In fair way Of recovery,
and Dr.. Emrick believes he can bring them
through all right. There are three children
in the family, but they are not affected, not
having eaten any of the diseased meat. By
questioning the victims the doctor discovered
that at wedding held in the house about
Christmas his patients had partaken of some
half-cooked ham, and it was by means OF this
meat that the animalcul1 entered their sys-
TENS. DR.. Enrich was seen last night by re-
porter of the Tri6sse, and he stated that he
had removed some of the muscle from the body
Of the woman and submitted it to examine
ton under microscope, and found it to
be completely filed with trichina, as many
as 200 of the parasites appearing in .
particle one-eighth of IN inch in size and up
wards Of 40, 900 in q square inch OF the muscle.
He stated that the symptoms Of illness in all
the cases were identical, beginning with
nausea and vomiting, accompanied BY pains
in the stomach and intestines and muscular
contraction and soreness. He knew Of no
specific treatment for the disease, and be-
lieved that most physicians in its treatment
would conine themselves to watching the
symptoms and trying to counteract them,
with view in the earlier stages Of keeping
the parasites out of the muscular tissues and
confined to the intestinal channels until they
were destroyed. The fatality usually de-
pended upon the amount of the diseased meat
eaten and the physical condition of the victim.
The men in the present case are all strong and
hardy, and, as stated, will probably recover

An Efficient Young Woman.

One day last week Mrs. Douglass vass, .
bride OF two weeks, by her GOODNESS and cour-
age saved the life probably Of her husband
and herself, as well as their team. The rains
and SHOWS Of the last few days have made many
of the river and creek fords very dangerous
crossings. Mr.. Vass and his wife, who was q
Miss James, of Fauquier, were attempting to
cross the RappahannOck, at Beverly's Ford. in
a two-horse wagon, and when near the middle
of the river they were washed by the current
from the ford and down the dangerous stream
The couplings becoming unfastened, they
were in a perilous situation, and the gentle
man, losing his presence of mind endeavored
to leap into the river. As he had on his over
coat, he would have in all probability been
drowned, but the lady caught him with one
hand and with the other guided the horses to
point near the shore, where the wagon hung
up. Then, insisting on his remaining and
looking after the horses, she leaped into the
stream, swan ashore, and went mile to Mr..
Cunningham's, the nearest house, for assist
ance, which in an hour or two was procured,
and the half drowned and frozen man, with
bis team, was rescued.-Culpepper Ha.) Cor.
