Accompanying the above, we received from
his honor, the Ordinary, a very polite note,
from which we make the following extract,
for the purpose of assuring him and the other
county officials that the kind feelings express
ed by them nro warmly reciprocated by us :
“ 1 take this occasion to express to you my
appreciation of the kindness always shown
me in the transactions between us for more
than two years as county official and publish
er. Your gentlemanly conduct and courteous
treatment of myself will bo fondly cherished
through life, and I am authorized to express
far the other two gentlemen similar senti
ments. Hoping that our associations may
continue thus pleasant, and that you and
yours may continue to flourish,

Tito Fire Alarm
On Saturday afternoon, which proceeded from
the dwelling house on the corner of Oconee
and Fonndi.v streets, served to exhibit tho
activity of our noble firemen, who are always
on tho alert. All tho companies wero on the
ground promptly, and extinguished tho flames
immediately. Tho damage was inconsidera
ble.
The Athens Post Office.
We learn that a meeting of prominent Re
publicans was held in Atlanta yesterday, for
the purpose of raeomroenoins snrn» one to the
post officesbip r.t Athens, and that Mr. n«.i»n-
claw was so recommended. It is said that
Col. R. S. Taylor’s removal bns been decided
ui>on. Our informant stated that ho was pres
ent at the meeting, nnd produced a witness
who was also there.
We believe that Col. Taylor has given gen
eral satisfaction to the people of Athens, and
that they will regret his removal, if, indeed,
ho is to be removed. We have found him very
efficient and obliging, as far as we have had
dealings with him.
We copy tho abovo from the Atlanta Herald,
without knowing one word of tho truth of the
report. It bos been rnmored hore within the
past few days that Mr. J. 55. Williford, of this
city, had been appointed in place of Col. Tay
lor. The Colonel is still in charge of the office,
however.
We do not know why Col. T. has been re
moved, if, indeed, it has been done. We have
never beard any complaint of him, and believe
he has given general satisfaction.
Dr. Hardnmn.
We were gratified to learn, while in Monroe
last week, that Dr. Hardman was rapidly re
covering from the wounds received in the late
unfortunate shooting affair in that town. He
was thought to be ont of danger, and we trust
is able to go ont by this timo.
Bonds or No Bonds.
Remember, this is the issno.and not wheth
er w o shall have a new conrt house or not.
Judgo Rico has decided that it must be built.
The question now is, whether we shall bear
the entire burthen nr leavo a portion of it to
he met in coming years. Those who want it
paid for at once will oppose the issue of bonds,
and those who think onr burthen is now enf
ficiently heavy will favor the issue of bonds,
which will not have to be paid until after the
county gets rid of its present indebtedness.
Remember that to-day, (Wednesday, June
ICtb) the question is to be settled by the vo
ters of tho county endorsing on their tickets
” Ronds" or *• No Bonds.”
Let all turn out and face the issue like men.
Let us have bonds issued, so that oar burthens
may not fall too heavily on us ^ow, while the
county has r id debts banging over it.
Harvest.
In traveling to and from Monroe last week,
we observed that on many plantations tbo
work of harvesting was actively going forward,
and the wheat and Pall oats generally was
nearly ready for the sickle. The yield of
straw will not be so heavy this year as some
other seasons, bnt the grain is extra fine and
heavy. The heade may not be as long aa
usual, but what they lack in length is more
than compensated for in ifce number and
weight of the plnmp, heavy grain. We have
no actual statistics to prove the fact, bnt to
the eye of a casual observer it appears that
tho breadth of land devoted to wheat this year
> 8 greater than usual.
Vie observed also that the autumnal sowing
of oats, which la now harvested and being out,
is much better than usual. Spring oats is not

. "How doth tho HttU bnsy ho*
Improve etch shining hour/'
While many of our people have been engag
ed in “ spelling bees,” striking •• bee lines” for
Texas and other ’’fnrrin parts,” Mr. E. A.
Smith, of Monroe, Walton county, has been
rearing Italian bees, studying their habits and
utilizing their labor*. What he has read has
been supplemented by bis own observation,
based on carefully conducted experiments,
and wbat be does not know about bees, bee
hives and bee-culture generally, is not worth
finding ont.
Mr. 3. commenced last year with one colony
of Italian bees, for wbioh he paid twenty dol
lars. They made him seventy-five pounds of
honey! During the present year, be has de
voted bis attention to an increase of his bee
family, and by jodicions management, he now
has from fifteen to twenty hives all doing well
He uses a hive admirably adapted to tho bu
siness, and which is not patented. Any wood
workman can rnako them. The bees are nev
er suffered to swarm, but divided at the pro
per time and a portion removed to another
Give. The transfer can be made in a few min
utes, and witbout any dangeror inconvenieaoe.
Tbo idea about tbe necessity of a “ queen”
to superintend tbe laborers is all gammon,
Mr. S. imforms us. Tbe bees will go ou and
work just as well without a queen, but if there
is neither queen, young bees or eggs in the
cotnb transferred to tbe new hive, it will be left
uuinbabited when the original colony dies out.
The queen lay* all the eggs, and is therefore,
the mother of her people. Tbe life of the com
mon black bee is limited to sixty, while tbe
Italian bee lives ninety days.
In dividing a colony for transfer to another
hive. Mr. S. says that if tbero is not a queen
ruady to move with them, it makes no sort of
difference, provided young bees and eggs be
transferred with them, If there is not a queen
among the young ones, a queen cell will be at
once provided by tbe bees, and in a few days
they will have a queen ready to lay eggs for a
new colony to fill tbe places of those who pass
away in ninety days.
Mr. S. prefers the Italian bee to the com
mon black beo from various considerations.
Though not stingless, as some suppose, they
are less spiteful than tbe others—more pro
lific and more industrious. He has tried hy
bridizing tbe Italian and common bee—says
tbe hybrids are tbe meanest bees be has any
knowledge of. One experiment has satisfied
him that tbo cross will not pay, and he confined
his attention entirely to the Italian bees. Be
ing an enthusiast on the beo qneation. he ex
hibited to us a queen as yellow os gold, and
puro unmixed Italian, for which be assured ns
be won id not take twonty-flve dollars!
We enjoyed our visit of an hour or two to
this well arranged apiary in a manner which
we had not anticipated, and no doubt, bored
Mr. S. with wbat he considered silly questions
as we knew very little of bees and bee-culture
and were anxious to learn all we could.
After showing us all about tbo proper ma
nipulation of bees, Mr. S. exhibited his honey
extractor, a very simple contrivance, by which
tbe honey may be extracted and leave tbe
conib intact. As it requires a large portion of
tbe bee’s labor to construct tbe waxen cells in
which tbo honey is deposited, tbe •• extractor"
is a very important labor saving machine. Tbe
hive is filled np with a number of frames,
something like tbe frames of children’s slates,
and they can be lifted out at will. Tbe sheet
of comb is fastened to this frame by the bees.
When it is desired to extiaot the honey, a
frame is placed on a revolving framework in
side a zluc cylinder. By turning a crank i
rapid revolvin'? movement is imparted, which
scatters tho honey around tho sides of tho me
talic cylinder, and in a few moments tbe wax
cells aro empty and tbe frame can be replaced

The Unfortunate Shooting Athlr, Again.
Aa an act of justice to him, wo admit tbe
following communication from Mr. Ray, in
reply to the one published by Messrs. Dlcken
and Smith. Of coarse, we have nothing to
do with the matter in controversy and regret
that any difference should have grown np be
tween them. Having admitted the one, we
could not, with justice, exclude tbe other:
Editor Southern Watchman: Yon are per
haps tired of communications from Monroe,
relating to a certain difficulty between the
Messrs. Hardman and Charles M. Harrison,
bnt as I have been so violently attacked thro’
your columns, as well as through others about
the account I gave of the difficulty mentioned
I respectfully request space in your paper for
a brief explanation which I think is dne my
self and others. Several days ago a difficulty
occurred as I have said between the Messrs.
Hardman and Mr. Cbas. Harrison. Acting
merely as an innocent contributor to the Consti
tution's budget of news, I attempted to give an
acconntoftbe difficulty through said paper
over tbe signature of •* Jeromefor which I
have been arraigned and severely denounced
by one “Vox Populi'’ in an article to Atlanta
Constitution's issue of the 2d inst. Bat before
proceeding farther, I will say, inasmuch as
” Vox Populi" intimated in the article referred
si McRea gave throe reasons for not accepting
the poeiskm of superintendent of the road, as
follows: ’
In the first place be had never promised to
accept if elected; In the second, he knew
that too much would be expected of him by
tbe stockholders, and, in the tftird, that it was
the wish of Mr. Walters, the principal lessee
oftbe8tato road, that he should retain his
present position. As Mr. Walters bad first
second for him the position of superintend
ent of the State road, he eonld not well dis
regard the wishes.
Miss Mary Telfair, daughter of Ex-Gov.
Telfair, died In Savannah recently, and left
many munificent bequests—among others, the
following:
The Georgia Historical Society gets about
$175,000; tbe Independent Presbyterian chnrcb
at Savannah, $80,000; Presbyterian church at
Augusta, $30,000. The Hodgson Institution;
the Tellairville Christian church; the endow
ment of Telfair hospitals for females; the en
dowment of Telfair Academy of Art and Sci
ence; and other societies are provided for, and
numerous personal legacies made, including
handsome bequests to colored family servants.
The estate is valued at over a million dollars.

Wm Jerome Ray. I The minutes of the last three meetings were
in tbe hive, to be re-filled with boney. The
pure honey—and it is tbe purest and most
beautifully transparent strained boney we ev
er saw and tho most delicious we ever tasted—
collecia in tbo bottom of tbe metalic receiver,
when tbe aperture at tbe bottom is opened,
runs into vessels prepared to receive it.
We do not know whether wo have succeed

tbe reader, bnt if we can awaken such an in
terest in tbe matter as to indace every body
to try tbe new and improved system of bee
cnltnre—for it- has been reduced to a perfect
system—wo have not labored io vain. Every
family in town and country ought to raise
sufficiency of bees to have at all times an am
ple supply of boney. They cost nothing bnt
the expenso of procuring hives, buying the
first colony and each attention aa is bnt an
agreeable pastime.
Mr. S. mentioned one other fact in favor of
the Italian bees. By their perfect police reg
ulations, moths cannot corrupt them, for they
sweep ail vicious intruders away," suffering
no sort of insects to iubabit their hives.
