Immense Swsrms rake POsses-
sion of n Kentucky Town
Stung 20 Death.
Nashville American, "A.


At the Maxwell House yesterday
Mr.. Il. Il. Fuqus, Of Lafayette, Ky,
gave q description Of the manner 10
which his town was taken possession
OF last Sunday byan immense swarm
OF bees, some acres in extent, that
were driven by the wind from the
southwest. They we're so thick that
they looked like q tremendous fall OF
hail. They stung everything animate
that they lit upon, aud arrived at the
church yard about eleven o'clock,
while the services we're going On. They
lit on two horses that were standing
hitched in the c%hurchyard, aud soon
stung them to death. AS o as the
bees commenced to sting the horses
the latter began to kick and con inued
until they were literally broken down,
when they could do nothing but lie
down and be stung to death. A vicious
old mule was next attacked. and en-
tered into the contest with the bees,
at first regarding 1t apparently as a
joke He kept up his high kicking
for some time, after which he held
down his head aud dropped his
ears, and apparently began to
kick as a mater Of business
He did not hold out long at this,
when he fell down, rolled over and
began to kick in his position This
was kept up until the bees left the
town, when the mule died
Men, women aud children all over
the town and especii lly 10 the church,
were terribly stung aud maDy are still
suffering from the damage d5oe BY the
bees. The church Windows had to be
closed and the ladies and children did
not leave the building until two
o'clock, when the bees few away after
doing all the damage they could.

that Of Friday has occurred there.
We believe, so early in the fall since
1874. While the development Of this
anomalous eoldin Manitoba does not
necessarily portend an exceptionally
cold autumn, il should be a warning
to all farmers, and especially tobacco
growers, to lock out for early frOsts.
When the FIRST frost took place in
the Northwes, and New England III
September, 1873, it was repeated al
most every day from the 9th to the
18Th of the month. The late area OF
killing irosts happily did not extend
much, il at all, below the iortieth
parallel. But it is to be feared that
the next large cold wave will carry
this area south Of Virginia aud Ten
nessee, and such a wave may be ex
pected within the next ten days as the
natural sequel OF the great hurricane
now moving off our Eastern coasts.

The first importation Of gold from
abroad is reported on the ocean under
way from France for New York. The
amount is something over a million
and a half Of dollars, and as the rate
of foreign exchange is not lew enough
at present to justify gold shipments, or
render the same profitable, the move
ment is regarded as arbitrary. Mean
time the money market Of New York
rules quite easy for tho season, and
time loans on prime discounts are
readily negotiated at from A to 81 per
cent, while single named paper is more
difficult to place. Here,the monetary
position is unchanged, and rates Of
discount rule at s per cent. Ex
change is steady. Bankers
ers are buying commercial bills on the
East at par to to discount and on
New Orleans at to of. Selling rates
for drafts on the latter are par and
on New York at to premium.

S~outhern cotton ConsumpNon


The following is from the annual
statement Of the National Cotton Ex-
change, just issued:
The year has not been as favorable
for Southern spinners as the preced-
ing one, and there has not been the
increase 10 consumption that was ex-
pected twelve months ago. The
profits have not been so large, and it
is said there has been very slow sale
for makes Of goods of coarsor and
commOner kinds. The new mills
under construction at the date of our
last report nave nearly all been work
ing, though not to their full capacity
throughout tho season. The increase
in consumption, however, is quite
substantial and likely to be followed
by larger fig1res next season, when all
the spindles now up are likely to be
running full time aud sufficient new
operatives been trained to their work,
to give full employment to the ma
chinery. The actual number OF spin
dies in all mills, new and old, idle and
running, in the Southern States il
now 1,O55,6 600, with a consumptivC
capacity Of about $4,000 bales. There
are but few mills in contemplation
The response to our circulars askinl
information has been general, and W,
have the most complete returns from
the mills yet received. We beg to re.
turn thanks to mill owners and official
for their favors.
The figures of consumption By

The Late Frosty Wave and the
Crops.
Nav York Herald. 70.

NOV ANAh hoAAAAf L.
The reports from the Northwest
leave no room to doubt that the corn
crop in that section was seriously dam
aged by the untimely irosts Of last
week, though, it may be hoped, not to
the extent at first apprehended On
the 23d ult. the Herald pointed out
the importance Of securing the corn
crop as far as possible from the FIRST
killing frosts, and the lesson the
Northwestern farmers have now
learned is one they should not forget.
When the fall season is exceptionally
cool, as this has been, it is obviously
better in the higher ATTITUDES to cut
it, even if not fully matured, than to
risk the first black frost" the oc
currence Of which is almost invariably
premOnished by two or three light
lrosts separated by intervals Of several
days.
The last cold wave seems to have
been the coolest for the first week o.
September recorded for some years

grees at Fort Garry, Manitoba. 0i
September 30, 1876, he same minimum
was reported at Fort Cary, aud o.
