It frequently occurs that some member of the 

 Bee-Keeper family desires to advertise for sale 

 some article the value of which will hardly 

 justify the payment of our regular rates; and 

 yet it would be an accommodation if he were 

 permitted to tell others what he has to offer. 

 Some other reader may be in need of just such 

 an article as that of which he wishes to dis- 

 pose. Again, it is as frequently desired to ex- 

 change commodities for which we have no 

 especial use, for something more desirable, and 

 such exchanges are often made to mutual ad-
