He estimates his loss at sixty full colonies, or about one-fonrth or one-fifth of his entire Apiary, besides the serious weakening of ether colonies. Parties hereabouts who keep bees, have In some instances lost every colony. We notice In several of our exchanges similar reports from other localities. While bee-keeping as a whole may bo considered a profitable business, it will be observed that it has serious draw­ backs as well as other branches of busi­ ness, and It sometimes happens that tiie apiarist's entire stock In trade is swept out of existence by the frost, as that of the merchant by fire. And yet they manage to extract a great deal of sweetness from the little things of this world, keep good-natured and happy, and enjoy Ufa.--Marengo Republican, THE Draraatie Association in connec­ tion with the Riverside Cornet Band, will, on Wednesday evening.

Goo. W. Reynolds, so well and favors ably known to this community, has lately made an engagement with the "Exhaust Ventilator Co.," of Chicago, whose factory Is at 151 to 167 Third Avenue. The company are fortunate in securing the services of such a man as Geo. Reynolds. He la "business" from the .crown of his head to tlie sole of his foot, with more push and energy tliau two or three ordinary men. If the "Exhaust Ventilator Co." want to know what wo think of Mr. Reynolds out here, let them read this item.

Mrs. Bogart has a little girl two years oid and the young infant two or three weeks old. Kind neigh­ bors are doing all thej possibly can for the family.

Gray sold to Reynolds & Earla of Hebron, last Saturday, one 2-seated top buggy, one single top buggy and one phaeton, for their livery. In three weeks he tells us lie has sold and taken orders for eleven carriages and buggies. This shows what pluck and energy will do in Richmond. Mr, Gray has also just put in for Downing & Denniton a 2000-pound safe. Mr. Gray claims to be able to give better terms on these goods than most other dealers are offering, and it would be well for buy­ ers to investigate his claims before In­ vesting. The Congregational Choir gave a concert at Genoa Junction last Thurs­ day evening to a fair house. The drenching rain and the cold only pre­ vented a large turnout. The concert was first class in every respect, and added now laurels to the fame of this already much esteemed body of young singers. Wo could write a column in praise of their performance at Genos, and not do more than simple justice.

Owing to the remarkably cold and wet wea her the annua) meeting of the Northern 111. Sheep Breeder's Associa­ tion at Richmond, April 29 and 30, was not as numerously attended as usual, either by representative breeders or farmers from the neighboring country, a id yet the aflair was very far from a failure. Much very fine stock was on exhibition and the usual amount of interest was manifested. George W. Eldredge gave the uso of his commodi­ ous and very convenient barn for the purposes of the exhibition, and J.Still- well the uso of his large carriage store and salesroom for tlie shearing, for both of which courtesies the thauks of the association were tendered in a complimentary vote. A large number of sheep fro n neighboring counties were ke"pt at homo on account of the unpropitlous weather, a circumstance much regretted. It has always occurred to us that this shearing festival is held too early In the season. Last year, the same as this, the weather was so cold that the poor beasts sheared must have suffered severely and rnn great risk of taking fatal colds. It is suggested to tlie management that a change to a date two or three weak* later would be an Improvemont. CLASS A.--MERINOS.
