The Apiary.

If the entrances to hives are very
small, and they should not be large
during winter, there is danger OF the
same becoming blocked with dead bees
that accumulate to quite an extent dur
ing this time. On the approach to q
warm day, when the bees are likely to
fy. he-entrance should be opened.
1t often occurs that the dead bees
are wedged in the entrance SO COM
pletely that the bees are unable to re.
move them, and sufocation of the col
ony is the result. 1t is not necessary
to be continuously opening the en-
frances thus during cold weather, as
NO harm will arise except on such oc-
casions as above, and damage may be
done otherwise.
It is not necessary tosassist the bees
in removing the dead bees, or to clean
the hive during winter, as they will
attend to that properly, and if the en-
trance is such that one or two bees
can pass in or out, they will not fall to
arrange everything properly. 1t is q
mistake to shovel away snow from the
hives.
IS is also a mistake to clear away
snow from the entrances. Snow will
not prevent the necessary amount OF
air reaching the bees, and hence there
is no danger whatever of suffocation.
In very cold weather snow is good pro-
lection, when banked up around the
hives, and many make a mistake by
shoveling it away, and not only that
but greatly damage the bees by the
disturbance at time they should be
strictly let alone. During heavy
snow and severe cold spell hives
may be totally covered with snow

had then been cleared OF the large
trees with which it was covered This
work was continued from year to year,
and the patches of land which were
cleared were planted in corn and other
farm products. There was then, as
matter Of course, no bridge spanning
the Ohio, but there was an old style
chain ferry which was used fer crossing
to and from the city. Subsequently the
first suspension bridge was built and
the remarkable growth Of population
on the Island may be said to date from
it's completion. There are yet number
of corn feds and garden patches
there, but it is within the memory of
many Old citizens when the Island was,
for the most part, divided into small
farms
The building which Ebenezer Zane
erected for his home was located at
the southern extremity of his portion
of the Island 1t was a substantial
brick structure, considered magnifi-
cent residence in those days. Like all
other buildings Of the period, it was
erected with a view to solidity and COM
fort and durability, rather than archi-
tectural beauty. After it passed into
other hands an addition was built, but
the original house was in fair state
of preservation when it was torn down
within the last few weeks.
Ebenezer Zane occupied this house
for a number of years. Like all the
other members of his family, he was
very prominent and active in public
affairs, and during his occupancy of the
house, and since, it was the scene of
many brilliant social gatherings. The
name of the next owner of the home
stead could not be learned. The third
owner was Joshua LukenS, who occu-
pied the house until about 1858, when 1t
was purchased by the late Jacob Ber-
ger. ST., who continued to occupy it I'M
til the time of his death. Mr.. Berger
made a number of improvements upon
the property.
The late Mr.. Berger was, in his day,
one of Wheeling's prominent and re-
spected citizens and an old time Jack
sonian Democrat. After the old sus-
pension bridge blew down and the pres
ent bridge was erected, which was in the
early COS, Mr.. Berger entertained at his
residence the Board of Directors and
large assemblage Of visitors and citi-
Zens in honor of The opening.
It's splendid location made the prop
erty very desirable for residential pur-
poses, and it was recently divided into
lots, a large number of which have al
ready been disposed of. Three modern
residences are already in course Of con-
struction upon the property. Mr.. Mes
bitt is erecting a handsome residence
and the contractors recently completed
a residence for Mr. John I. Reed which
he is now occupying. A residence has
been completed for Will Schenerline,
and work will be commenced within
short time upon a handsome home Or

However dear to the student of his
tory are the things which are sugges-
tive of earlier days, they must be de-
stroyed to conform with the modern
idea. This is practical age, and
those who favor the preservation of
structures of historical interest are in
a hopeless minority. One by one the
old landmarks are disappearing. There
is little remaining in the Wheeling of
to-day to recall the conditions which
obtained in the early part Of the cen
tury On the site of Fort Henry are

Judge Cranmer, who has devoted
much time to research and TO the com
pilation of facts concerning the early
history of Wheeling, is Of opinion that
a museum should be established in the
city, for the proper classification and
exhibition of relics connected with the
early history of this section. Judge
Cranmer possesses a number Of old pa
pers, including the first volume of the
Wheeling Repository, the first newSpa-
per published in this city; number of
old muskets and cannon balls: several
official documents of importance dating
back a century, and many other articles
which might well form the nucleus for
such a collection as he suggests.
During the past few days Judge Gram
mer has been enabled to augment his
collection of relics. The old Berger
homestead, one Of the first houses erect
ed upon Wheeling Island, has been
RACED for the purpose of making room
for modern residences. Some of the
timber used in the construction of the
house was taken from Fort Henry

tree beam, which showed no signs of
decay, but was as fresh and firm as

WHITE HOUSE VISITORS
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Secretary
Sherman and Senators Lodge, Cullom
and Burrows took up most of the time
of the president today, SO that compar-
atively few Of his other callers had an
opportunity to see him. The contest for
the Swiss mission, according to the pre-
vaiiing White House gossip, is said to
lie between Mr.. Leishman of Pittsburg,
formerly president Of the Carnegie Steel
company. and Brutus Clay of Ken
lucky. The friends of the>latter assert
most positively that if Leishman does
not press his claim Clay will be tlomi-
mated.
1t is understood that D. Hunter of
Kentucky who made the protracted
fight for United States senator as the
cauucs nominee of the Republican party,
but who was ultimately compelled to
give way in the interest of harmony,
has been informed by the president that
he would be glad to bestow upon him
some fitting position. The Chilean mis-
sion, which his friends urged in his be-
half, has been promised. 1t is announced
that DR.. j. S. James will be appointed
United States marshal of Kentucky.
