CURIOUS LORE.
Natural History Contained in Very
Rare Book.

From the London Express.
1t iSinteresting to know that among
some country folk the curious idea still pre-
walls that with the master die the bees
Somebody tells me that instances of this
have been noticed OF late. At sale of the
humble effects Of a villager lately dead two
or three hives Of bees in old straw keeps
were to be disposed Of; but when they came
to be examined it was found that all the
bees were dead.
A coincidence Of this kind will probably
keep alive the superstition in that village
for generations to come.
Some curious specimens of folklore and
natural history are contained In a rare
book, called 1.-THE Sportsman's Dictionary"
