Having accepted the office of cashier of the Farmers 

 & Merchants Bank of Jefferson, which was lately or- 

 ganized in this place, I will be unable to care for all 

 the 850 stocks of honey-bees I have now on hand; I

 pure Italians, and will be sold as follows :

These bees will be delivered free of charges at the

All these stocks of bees are in an 8 frame Langstroth 

 movable comb hive, are in good condition and have 

 honey enough to last them to May 15th, or longer. 

 Terms cash in advance.
