THE HOUEY BEE. History of the Bee Several Species Stingless Bee llees should.be Imported Bee Moth First appearance of the Miller here vras in 1827 or 1829 How did the Miller find it way int,o the United States Good and Bad Luck The freat value ef the Langstrotb Hive. -Written fur the Ohio fanner by Prof. J. P. Kirtltid, Cleveland Medical Cullrrje.. The IIoxfcT Bee, '(Apis tnellifica, was not native of America. When and by whom intro dueed are undetermined points. Separate im portutions were prubably made by the earliest French, English, German, Holland and Swedish emigrants- for iu the eves of those frugal and calculating pioneers, a well stocked hive would appeftf as a necessary item of household furniture, at the moment they were, arranging Aheir paraphernalia, for leaving their native lands. The fact is better established, that this insect, after its introduction to this coo ntry flourished almost without care, and multiplied without an impediment. Swarms, escaping from domesti cation, sought the forests, and extended into the interior, in advance 01 tb progress 01 numan settlements, under all the extremes of climate and latitudes, embraced by this contineaL A false tradition has gained credence, and been sustained by repeated republications, that after its introduction into the West India Islands especially those devoted to the raising of sugar cane, it discovered that supplies could be obtained during the whole year without the labor of accumulating stores. In consequence it soon abandoned its industrious habits, and ever after be came a troublesome and intrusive idler about the sugar houses. This error has . arisen from the circumstance that a native and non accommodating species of the Bee has multiplied and become a troublesome pest in those localities where sugar and molasses are manufactured extensive ly, and Superficial observers have mistaken It for the Apis meWJica, which, in all ages and in all climates, has been designated as a model of in dustry. . If the believers in this report would take the trouble to recollect that extensive importations of tioney are made into the United States from Cuba-and that Bees-wax forms an important item of export from Africa they would cease to propogate such an absurdity. All the travelers in the interior of Africa, from Dr. Sparrman down to Dr. Livingston, speak of the flourishing condition of the floney-Bee in hot climates of that country. All tropical climates art congeni al to health and industry. Under all circumstances it is true to its habits and instincts. It is the same industrious and persevering insect, whether ia Sweden, Nova- Scotia, Cuba or Borneo.' It has neither changed its habits, nor gained; knowledge bj experience through the lapse of ages. Ia all respect it is the same to-day, as in the days of the Hantaan Bard, individual identity excepted. ' Its movements and manifestations are always coincident with its instints. Reason and inven tion have no control over its labors, farther than instinct suggests.. : i- .' One species only has ultberto been cultiraled ia the.United States the One above indicated- bat it seems probable, if not certain that in mm MOUNT YERNON, Mexico, Guadaloupe, and especially in certain portions of South America, other species, and even Other allied genera, are employed success fully for producing honey and wax. Some of these species aire described as sting- less ; whether correctly, or not, is problematical. Many years since a New York journal contained a statement that a colony of stingless Bees had been imported into that city. As nothing was ever said of it subsequently, it is inferred that the report was not correct, or that the experiment was a failure. It is certain that "the continent of Africa a- bounds with many species, whichln both a wild and domesticated condition, accumulate large quantities of honey. ' ', In Europe, two species are familiarly known First, The Apis meUifica ; Second, A. ligustica, The latter is found in Italy and the Grecian Ar- chipelago. Certain departments of our Government are engaged in importing into the country new spe cies and improved varieties of animals and vege tables. Might not some attention be devoted to the diEferent species of wax and honey producing insects in various parts of the world, visited by our consuls, naval officers, and other agents or representatives of our country T Would not this subject come as appropriately within the scope of duties of th Patent Office, as to import cane-slips and seeds ? From the earliest introduction into North Am erica, of the domestic . Bee, till the beginning of the present century, it flourished without inter ruption, as before remarked, though treated with neglect and cruelty. - In the spring of the year 180$, I first noticed a brief article in the Boston Patriot, describing the depredations of the BeeMoth and Worm ( Tineo inellonella,) in Massachusets; and during the autumn of the .same season, similar depre dations were found progressing in the Apiaries which were then numerous in New-Haven couu ty, Connecticut. So rapidly did the evil progress that ip a very few years Beecultivation was abandoned there by people generally. On visiting Northern Ohio in the years 1810, 1818, and 1823, I had the pleasure to find this section of country exempt from the intrusion of the Miller, and the Bee to flourish in prestine vigor, though the cruel "fire and brimstone" dispensation prevailed among the Bee cultiva tors. ' The first appearance of the Miller here, was in either the summer of 1827 or 1828. Iu pro. gress was as rapid and as fatal, as it had been twenty years before in the State of Connecticut. At this stage of our article, it may be approp riate to inquire From whence did this Miller find its way into the United States? recognized here, up to about the yearT80S, In Europe it was known in the time of Virgil, and has continued its attacks upon the Bee down to the present time, yet has never been as destructive there as in this country. Had it been imported into the New-England Colonies with the Bee-stocks by our Puritan Fathers, it would have, multiplied and extended with the Beeitself. As no recent importations of Bee stocks were probably made so late as the time of the appearance of this enemy, some other means for its introduction must be found. Most likely a box of honey and comb, contain ing the larva, or eggs, of this enemy," were brought into the British Provinces, or New-England, about the time of its first appearing n Massachusetts. ; This event marks Tery unfavorable era in Bee culture. Previously, it had furnished a prolific source ol profit, equally to the rich and the poor; since, it has been abandoned as unsuccessful by most people. An individual, perhaps more enterprising or persevering than his neighbors, has continued his efforts, yet they have generally proved so profitless, that be might deem himself an. object of special good luck, if each succeeding year foand the number of his stocks undiminished. Bee.rai8en, like certain industrious bouse wives, have long been under the control of those two Deities, "Good, and Bad Luck.". Science, at this day, seems however to be assaming the control over both of these occupations, and ensuring a more certain result in both.: As the introduction .of the Moth was evidently the main cause of the interruption to Bee-cul ture, the attention of the ingenious portions of community has since been directed To Vie dis' covery of a remedy. Patents without number have been secured, but withouV restraining or obviating the evil. The jenore extensively they have been employed, the more unfavorable have been the efforts of the Apiarian. Under their application, the Bee has rapidly diminished in numbers and productiveness. Like certain un fortunate patients of which we have heard, it seems to have! died cf the Doctorj or, perhaps more corectly speaking, of the coinciding re sults of the disease and the remedy. Certain it is, that every Patent Bee Hive, brought before the public until very recently, has contained within itself two fatal objections. In theJurat place it furnished many secret and an reachable retreats for the Miller, and in the sec ond, it compelled die Bees to work against their natural habits. . . Though inventors may clai m credit for their perseverance and ingenuity, it is only truth to say that they contemplated their subject from a wrong point of view.' Their efforts have been in a wrong direction. Another, and a brighter era, if I mistake not. is now dawning on Beecnltare. In ten years' time, it will be restored to. its former satisfactory condition and results. '' " 7 '. For this important resolution, we are exclo sively indebted to the , Rev. Mr. Laagstroth. Ia bis investigations be has pursued a new track governed by the principle bf working in coin-cidence' with the habits of the Bee, while his predecessors, in similar investigations, ran coun. ter, in all instances, to those habits.'

ISsy- A CoRRESPOSDEXT of the Kew York Sun day Dispatch gives the following account of a rather equivocal .; DEATQ-BED REPE3TTENCE. Dr. Paul Goddard tells a good story about a patient of his who came near dying a few days ago from pneumonia. The patient was an old German farmer named Cramer, who lived on a beautiful place near Chester. Cramer had a bad attack of pneumonia, so bad that the chances of recovery were very small. While lying thus. Dr. Goddard informed him of his condition, and ad vised .him to send for.a clergyman, as his time would probably be very short. Cramer rather reluctantly consented, and a clergyman was soon at his bedside. The clergyman found our Dutch friend with very little idea of religious obligation. and proceeded to instruct him in the principal essentials which go to make up a preparation for death. The first he said was. that thm oV 'mam must forgive all his enemies. 4,I has but one," was jbe reply, "and dat ish Harry Ludwig. I quarrels mit him thirty years, and my daddy and his daddy pefore ns quarreled for more as forty years. "in that ease," said the minister, "an entire reconciliation must take place, at least so far . as you are concerned, or you will never go to Heaven." "Never go to Heaven unless I for geefes Ludwig?" "No, it is impossible." "Den you sends for Lu Jwig aud I forgeefes him." A messenger was at once dispatched for bis old en emy, and two hours afterward Ludwig and the minister were both beside Cramer's bed. The atter raised himself upon his pillow, ."Ludwi,? said he, "der doctor Bays I'm goiu' to die, and I can't go to Heaven until I fergeofes you for tear, in' mine bull rait your sorrel dog, Hans. Now I sthops der law suit and forgeefes you for settto' Hans on mine bull, pecause I wants to go to Heaven,; nnd de doctor says I dies in about a week."" Ludwig took the extended hand of the patient, and said he "was sorry too, would pay the costs of the suit, and wpoJfJ.Mvg dj)guxhA thing again.' Le reached the door, the faint voice of the sick man called him back, and he again came to the bedside. "Ludwig " said the sick man, "you understfcands, I forgeefes you be cause I is goin to die and tan't ; go to Heaven mitout it. But den if I gets well, you minds den 1 don't foryeeje you, and 1 carries der suit into dsr Supreme Courts, and makes it cost you two hundred dollars more." As luck would have it. the next day Cramer was better, and in a week aiterwara, was a wen man, indulging in sour krout. He was true to his word. He carried "der prindle bull" up to the -higher Court, and stuck his beredetary foe to the amount of two hundred dollars more costi. : Elder Fawsil on ."Speerits.

Phoeaixina. ;"- The redoubtable John Pbcenix, in a late letter, gives the following account of the meeting between a Memphis man aud his better-half at the St. Charles, in Ntw Orleans. Comment is useless: . Accompanied by my old friend Butterfield, who had joined us at Memphis,! landed at New Orleans, and proceeded forthwith to the St. Charles Hotel. At this tavern Amos expected to meet his wife, who had arrived from Califor nia, to join him after three month's separation. 1 never have seen a man so nervous. He rode on the outside of the coach with the driver, that he might obtain the earliest view of the building that contained his adored one. It was with great difficulty that I kept pace with him as he "turn ultuously rushed" up the steps to the Rotunda In an instant he was at the office, and gasping 'Mrs. Butterfield." "la the parlor, sir," replied Dan, and he was off. I followed and saw him stop with surprise as he came to the door. In the centre of the par lor stood Mrs. Butterfield. That admirable woman had adopted the very latest and most voluminous style ; and having on a rich silk of greenish hue looked like a lovely bust on the summit of a new mown haystack. Butterfield was ap palled for a moment, but hearing her cry "Amos" he answered hysterically, ,-- My Amanda!" and rushed on. He ran three times around Mrs Butterfield, but it was no use, he couldn't get in He tried to climb her, but the hoops gave way Land. frustrated the attempt. He extended his arms to her ; she held hers out to him ; tears were in their eyes. It was ; the most affecting thing I ever witnessed. Finally Mrs. Butterfield sat down, and Amos got behind the chair" and kissed her, until their offspring, by howling and biting the calf of his leg, created a diversion.- They were very happy ; so were the people in the parlor. Everybody appeared delighted j and a small boy, a year or two older than little Amos, jumped up and down like a whip saw, and hallowed "Hoop-ee" with all his might. "Butterfield," said I, ah hour or two later, "I suspect that Mrs. Butterfield has adopted hoops." "Ob, yes!" answered Butterfield; "I saw that sticking out. Perhaps it obviates the little tendency she had to 'blow up;' I'm glad of it." 1 " . - Wild Cats. .

Some of the particulars of this affair have been given to the readers by telegraph, but the details are not as full as the following, which we clipped from the St. Louis Democrat, (Rep.,) of the 8th: There was a dispute between Lane and Jen kins, concerning a valuable land claim, lying inclose proximity to Lawrence. This dispute engendered a cordial hatred, which extended to the private relations of the parties. Some weeks ago Lane's family arrived in Kansas, and Lane took them upon the contested claim, without having a legal title to the same the suit con cerning the title being still before the proper tribunal. This action on the tpart of Lane excited Jenkins, but nothing passed between them until Friday, the 4th inst. On this day Jenkins informed Lane that he intended drawing some water from the well on the claim. Lane told him to refrain, but Jenkins paid no attention to the caution, and made his appearance near the claim during the day. He was provided with a gun and an ax, and was accompanied by three companions. As he approached he laid down his gun and took up the ax, to knock the chain from the lock by which it was fastened. As he stepped forward Lane appeared in front of the house armed with a loaded shot-gun. Jenkins gave a look of defiance at his enemy, and ia the next moment fell to the earth a corps having received an immense charge of buckshot in his breast. ' As Jenkins fell one of his friends fired three times at General Lane, one ball missing him, the other glazing his forehead, and the third burying itself in the calf of his leg, bringing him to the ground It was a harrowing spec tacle. The body of Mr. Jenkins was soon re moved and Lane taken into custody. Mrs. Jen kins, was jOjuuIv crazed at the fearful intelligence dangerous condition. Jenkins bore an excellent character, and his loss will be deeply regretted. It is proper to state that General Lane claims that he was fully justified in shooting down his Adjutant General for, strange as it may seem, such Jenkins was and asserts that he can es j tabUsh his justification before the. courts of his country. - The feeling against Lane was general throughout the Territory. Last reports indicate that there was some talk of lynching. Lane, but it is hardly probable that this will be done. Lane is at present n close custody; and his trial will come off at an early day. Owners of the London Times. Mr. John Walter, M. P. for the borough o f Nottingham, is principal proprietor of the Times newspaper, holding nineteen shares out of the twenty four 'in to which that valuable publication is divided. , The publisher, who is responsible for all libels, &c owns owe share. Mr. John Delano, the editor, has one share ; on'd Mrs. Car' den, mother of Sir Robert Garden, the present Lord Mayor of London, has three shares. It is estimated that each proprietory share is worth over $10,000 a year, making an aggregate sum of $240,000 to $260,000 per annum out of al the shares. Mr. Walters individual receipts from this source may be averaged at some $200, 000 a year. The Times, if the above statement is correct, is rather more profitable an establishment than our own. xne tsanner is uivraea into one share, which is owned sol ely," exclusively and entirely, by the editor, who is also printer, publisher and proprietor, and is therefore responsible for all matters appearing it its columns. His yearly profits or income amount to something consider ably under $250,080. Flood in the Potoinao. At Piedmont, Va a lew days since, the rise in the north branch of the Potomac was so great as to overflow a large portion of the town. The citizens were obliged to leave their houses in skiffs, bog troughs, or on rafts, and one fellow bo, in spite of the remonstrances of his neigh bors, persisted in remaining in. in his house, was finally compelled to abandon it by swimming. with his wife on his back. The fellow came near losing his life by the operation,' and was only saved by clinging to logs and planks which had been seat to him by those on the shore. . Tfca Pried of Wool.

We have now something that affords a beautiful, clear, white color, and which cannot be rubbed off. - We procured at s paint store, a dollar's worth of first auafity "Paris White" 33 Rs., at three cenU per ft. and for this quantity, one pound of white glue, of the best quality, usually called Cooper's glue, because manufactured by Peter Cooper of New York. Retail price 50 cents per pound. For one day's work, J 2 of the glue was put in a tin vessel, and covered with cold water over night. In the morning this was carefully heated until dissolved, when it was added to 16 lbs. of the Paris White, previously stirred in a moderate quantity of hot water. Enough water was then added to give the whole a proper milky consistency, when it was applied with a brush in the ordinary manner. Our 33 fi4.. of l ans one., and lib. of glue sufficed for two ceilings, and the walls and ceilings of seven other smaller rooms.

In roasting. - Q , K . u . therefore, it should be exposed to a quick fire that the external surface may be made to contract at once, and the albumen to coagulate, be fore the juice has had lime to escape from within. And so in boiling. When a piece of beef or mutton js plunged into boiling water, the out er part contracts, the albumen which is near the surface coagulates, and the internal juice is prevented either from escaping into the water by which it is surrounded, or from being dilated or weakened by the admission of water amonz it. j When cut up the meayields much gravy, and it is rich in flavor. Hence a beef-steak or mutton cnop is aone quictlyover a quick fire, that the natural juices may be reUined. On the other hand, if the meat be exposed to a slow fire, its pores remain open, the juice continues to flow from within, as it has dried, from the suria.ee, and the flesh pines, and becomes dry, hard, and unsavory. Or if it be put in cold or tepid water, which is gradually brought toa boil, much ot the albumen is extracted before it coagulate, the natural juices for the most part flaw out, and the meat is served ia a nearly . tasteless state. Hence to prepare good boiled meet, it should be 1 . . i-iiHi water sure&oy orougat to a boil.- Uut to make beef-tea, mutton broth, and other seat soups, the flesh should be put into cold water. and this aiterwards very slowly warmei, and finally boiled.

Pepper is an almost aniversal condiment. Black pepper irritates and inflames the-coating of the stomach, red pepper does not; it excites but does; not irritate, consequently it should be used instead of black pepper. It waa-known to the Romans, and has been in us in the East Indies from time immemorial, as itor-rects that flatulence which attends the larre use of vegeuble food. Persons ia health do net need any pepper in their food but to those of weak and languid stomachs, it is manifoid more " beneficial to nse -cayenne pepper at meals, than any form of wine,- brandy, or beer that cia be named; because it stimulates without tbe re-ac- tk of sleepiness or debility.
