Work of Bees.

Three hundred billion bees made
enough honey during last year to fill
a train of cars long enough to reach
from New York to Buffalo. At the
low wholesale rate of ten cents q
pound it was worth $25.OOO.O 900. and II
the 100000 bee-keepers of the country
had worked as industriously and skill
fully as did the bees. the weight of the
output would have been three times
as great and the value $75,0O0,0OO.
In one year the beehives sent to
market a product worth nearly as
much as the barley crop. three times
as much as the buckwheat crop, &c..
600, 900 greater than the rye crop. and
nearly 100000 greater than the rice
crop. All the the rice and buckwheat
grown on an aggregated area OF
2.126 1-3 square miles did not reach to
the value of the honey by $151.259.
To appreciate these results, one
must necessarily strive also to appre,
ciate the number of insects at work
That is rather difficult, for 100000. 600.
900 stretches long way beyond intel
ligent human comprehension. The
human mind doesn't work we'll in any.

On Tuesday there arrived in Fullerton
a woman with load OF trouble. She
had come all the way from Cheyenne to
try and induce Ed Dahlmsn to marry her.
1t seems that she and Ed had been liv-
ing together as man and wife, but a
quarrel came up and Ed hastened back
to Nebraska. The widow, (for the wo-
man has been married and has three
cnildren) learned that Ed had left Chey-
enne and started &C once in search OF
him. At Columbus sne telegraphed the
sheriff aud inquiredif Dahlman was here
and signed the deputy sherifs name to
the wire. As there was no charge
against Ed the sheriff would have moth
ing to do with the matter as things like
little love affairs have no place IN the
sheriff's curriculum. When Ed learned
that the women was here he went into
hiding and up to the hour that this is
written has not come forth. The woman
runs q millinery store and is said to have
a very stylish establishment. The
quarrel arose over religious matters. the
woman being q catholic and Ed a pro-
testsnt, they couldn't settle the affair
satisfactorily, hence Ed refused to wed.
