We hope to meet our many friends and have a grand re-union on Fri- day, the 39th inst. J^t»t Honey only, but the crops gen- erally are not prospering. The cause is the abnormally high temperature, with an in- sufficient rainfall. One factor in the blighting of vegetation has evidently been the hot winds that have scorched it, from one end of the continent to the other. These have also dried up the nectar so that nothing was left for the the bees to gather. The honey crop is therefore a very light one, and the prices must go up. <]ioIarky recently hitched his mule, with a bale of hay on its back, near a neighbor's bees, which were about to swarm. The bees came forth, and settled on the bale of hay, after which the Darky drove the mule home, and hived the swarm of bees.

When the first warm days of spring came, and the bees cames out in numbers, we then predicted that they would prove to be a nuisance, and we have no reason to change our opinion. They not only destroy the fruit, sting old and young alike, but the housewife who takes her preserving kettle to the porch, or yard, is eompelled to divide her time be- tween fighting the bees and attending to her
