A Bee Hunting Expedition.

TO THE EDITOR: Soon after the seven days
fight before Richmond, Cos. H, and K, of the
4th Pa Cav, were halted near Fredericksburg,
Va, and ordered to be ready Immediately for
shipment to the seat of war. While waiting
there about 20 of Co. K started off in quest Of
honey. Recollecting an apiary we had noticed
during the day we struck out for the place.
The modus operdndi was to throw our blouses
around the entire hive, pull it off the stand and
retreat as fast as possible. We had just started
out of the garden with the hive when the owner
and about 20 negroes appeared on the scene
with double -barreled shot-guns and opened
rather a lively fire upon US. Not being in good
condition for hOstilities we simply endeavOred
to retreat with our spoils; but unfortunately,
one of our number in getting over the fence
let his blouse fall on the wrong side, and con-
cluding that his health might suffer if he at
tempted to regain his coat, he left without that
useful article of dress. We knew now that we
were in for row, as foraging had been strictly
prohibited, and the lost blouse contained letters
which would undoubtedly lead to our identity;
but our Major was an officer whose heart was
always with the boys in their troubles and esca-
pades, and we thought the best thing we could
do under the circumstances was to make clean
breast of the matter to him and trust to his
kindness to get us out of the scrape We
accordingly went to him by daylight the next
morning, carrying as a peaceOtfering fine
comb full of rich honey. We stated the diff
Guilty to him, and he promised he would do all
in his power to get US out Of the trouble. We
had hardly left the Majors tent when an old
man clad in butternut was seen approaching.
We recognized him as the owner of the honey
we had stolen. He asked us the way to the
Colonels headquarters, as he had q complaint
to make against some of the men. We, know
ing what the complaint was, directed him to
our Majors tent. The Major received him po-
litely, inquired his business. and then said:
What side do you sympathize with 2" The
man said: Well, Colonel guess you have
asked question that / don't feel inclined to
answer" The Major then said AZ have no
doubt that you are a rebel of the worst kind
and will give you two minutes to get out of
this camp, or will have my men fill you full
of lead" 1t took old butternut about five Sec
onds to get out of there. and we saw no more
of him, or his bees, or his negroes Or his shot
guns-W. c. YARD, Preston, Iowa

The Associated Charities will CONTINUE their
work through the summer months A meet
ing of the central council was held Yesterday
afternoon with a representative attendance,
and the work Of the association was dis
cussed at considerable length. Mr..

painted on the sides, in which to gather up
clothing and other contributions to the poor,
Miss Hale, representing the Plymouth
church took occasion to state that benevo-
lent work was not in the province of the
Associated Charities. Instead Of that, its
work Is to secure the cooperation of all
benev olent societies, to promote kindly
and cordial feeling, 10 ascertain aud keep u
correct record of all benevolent work of the
various societies, and to protect them from
imposition. Ii was generally agreed that
the wagon system would interfere with the
separate societies, aud was consequently
abandoned.
The secretary stated that be had so sys-
tematized his books and records that he
could give almost any desired information
on a remarkably short notice.
1t was resolved to hold meetings in the

meet with the clerks office, and the third
room will be used as the judges private
office.
