Honey in Roofs.
IN the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
Two extraordinary takes of honey
have just been made in West Surrey.
For the last sixteen or eighteen years
acolony OF bees has taken possession
OF q niche between the walls of the
Hautboy and Fiddle public house at
Ockham, near Ripley. The outer walls
OF the building are about three feet in
thickness, and the bees made choice
OF their store-house at the very top Of
the building, which is three stories
high. The landlord and landlady, with
Their daughters, resolved this year
upon finding the exact Whereabouts Of
the colony. A diligent search was
made one morning under the roof of
the house, and a piece of comb was
found Immediately below the states,
but in such a position that it could
not be reached. Mr.. Smith, the land
lord, then descended to the bedroom,
and. with chisel andhammer removed
q number of bricks from the wall,
where the whole stock OF bees was
found. More than two feet square of
the wall had to be removed, when q
wonderful sight presented itself. A
large mass Of comb, about two feet in
thickness, filled with honey, was ex-
posed. The bees were fumigated, after
which large pieces of honey were cut
out, until dish after dish was filled
with a total quantity of about 12O
pounds. The bricks have. not been
put into the wall again, but q glass
door has been inserted, SO that any
neinterested in bee culture may have
an opportunity of seeing them.
Another andstill more extraordina-
ry take OF honey has been secured at
Winters Hall, Bromley, the seat of
George Barrett. Some men were sent
to take some bees which had got be-
tween the ceiling of the coach house
and the granary. They succeeded in
300 pounds Of honey. The
bees had been engaged in their novel
place several years. 1t was a
very interesting sight to see the way
in which they had worked.

selling homestead ACCOMPLISHMENTS, or
otherwise engaged in specializing in home

speculation, should thereby be rendered in
capable OF practicing az attorneys before
TINS department or local land Offices, and
inhibited from access to the records. The
second section OF the act OF June l5,1SSO,
"hich allows the purchase oflande embraced
IN ~abandoned homestead entries made
PRIOR to 1879, has proved unaualitiedly
pernicious, and should be repealed.
The subject OF land office fees is provoc-
alive OF increasing dispute. The whole

by lees is a~ntiquated, cumbrous and un-
economical. l recommend the adjustment
oil the leo system for entry on public lands |
and the substitution OF fixed salaries to
