 cation be made or not, and when a remedy 

 be applied il generally receives the credit if 

 relief follows, if not, something used i» a 

 former ease receives the preference. We 

 say. extract the sting in such a manner 

 (with the point of a pen knife for instance.) 

 as to avoid pressing the contents of the 

 poison bag into the wound, and then let it 

 alone Any irritation, such as rubbing the 

 affected part, produces pain and swelling, 

 so we repeat, "let it alone," and get your 



j mind on something else as speedily as pos- 



! sible, and all will be well.

only that their possessor may secure 



honey thereby. Tt has been said 



that only 10c. has been offered for 



honey in the West, and yet in a 



brisk little railroad town in Ohio, 



they retail extracted honey at45 cts. 



and comb honey 50 cts. Now, cunt 



those bee keepers West have a little 



more, and the good people of Xenia 



be supplied at a little less iigure ? 



Wc arc going to try and get the two 



opposite factions acquainted and 



help them both, if we can. We have 



done but little yet. but here is the 



result. 



Messrs. Barber & Stout. No. 16, 

 .Main St.. Cincinnati, will pay 13^ 

 cts. cash, for 20,000 lbs., delivered in 

 their city in securely waxed barrels. 

 Barrels to be returned in good order 

 when emptied. 



Mr. W. H. Shane, Chatham Cen- 

 ter, Medina Co., O.. has 235 lbs. 

 candied basswood honey, that he 

 will sell for 20c 



Mr. J. Pratt, Mallet Creek. Me- 

 dina Co., O., has 1000 lbs nice ex- 

 tracted honey which he offers at 18c. 



If any one has honey they will 

 pell less than the latter price, we will 

 publish il in our next gratis: and if 

 any on I iy n than j! essrs.

write to the parties mentioned; and 

 we would suggest that samples of 

 honey may be sen t cheaply by mail, 

 in small tin boxes, such as watch 

 movements come in ; to be had of 

 any jeweler. .Make the joint tight 

 with melted wax. G-ood honey, we 

 believe, is always candied at ibis 

 season of the year, or should be, at 

 least, and it is easily shipped in this 

 state, and will keep good any num- 

 ber of years, so that the Grocers 

 need lie in n,> fear of losses in that 

 direction. It some one dealer in 

 every town would advertise good 

 honey for sale the year round, could 

 all of our bee keepers supply the 

 demand, even if retailed at 25c? 



Advertisements will be received at 10 cents 

 per line each insertion, cash in advance; and 

 we require that every Advertiser satisfies us of 

 his responsibility and intention to do all that 

 he agrees, and that his goods are really worth 

 the price asked for thein.
