Bee & Honey Show at Lexington, Ky. 



Messrs. Williamson & Bro. made 

 an excellent display at the Lexington 

 Fair, and were highly coinplimeuted 

 on every side. The following notices 

 were in the Lexington papers : 



Mr. Russell White, of Maysville, a 

 prominent young bee-keeper, who 

 attended our Fair Wednesday, said 

 he never saw such a beautiful display 

 of honey before, as the display made 

 by Messrs, Williamson & Bro., of this 

 City. Mr. White had just returned 

 from the great Southern Exposition 

 at Louisville, and saw several honey 

 displays there, and all combined were 

 nothing compared with the display he 

 saw at our Fair. 



The display of honey by the Messrs. 

 Williamson, was the tinest and most 

 cofnplete on exhibition, and shows 

 the excellent taste of our enterprising 

 townsmen, whose 7 colonies of bees in 

 this oily alone, gathered 1,800 pounds 

 of this beautiful honey. 



Mr. White said if the Messrs. Will- 

 iamson had taken their display to 

 Louisville, they would beyond doubt, 

 carried off the premium, which was 

 $50 ; but they preferred to remain at 

 home and carry off the blue ribbon. — 

 Evening News. 



The first display that struck our 

 attention upon entering the Hall 

 building was Williamson & Bro.'s 

 display of honey of all descriptions in 

 and out of comb, some dark-colored 

 and rich, and some as clear as an 

 octagonal diamond. Mr. Williamson 

 was awarded the premium unani- 

 mously, and a beautiful silver medal 

 hung from the top jars within the 

 casing.— Gazette. 



Williamson & Bro. made one of the 

 largest collections and handsomest 

 displays of honey ever seen at the 

 Fair. — Transcript.

The "Bad Boy" Abroad.— We have 

 just received from the publishers a 

 book with the above title, giving the 

 humorous experiences of a Bad Boy 

 in Europe. It will drive the " blues " 

 miles away, and is warranted to create 

 laughter in the hearts of those who 

 never laughed before. It is hand- 

 somely illustrated and bound. Price, 

 paper cover, 2.5 cents ; bound in cloth, 

 60 cents, and it will be sent to any 

 address, post-paid, upon receipt of 

 the price, by J. S. Ogilvie & Co., pub- 

 lishers, 31 Rose street. New York. 



1^" A Watertown{N. Y.) man, who 

 has kept an account of the weather, 

 claims that it invariably repeats it- 

 self, and gives the following as the 

 result of his observations, viz. : All 

 years ending in 9, or 1 are extremely 

 dry ; those ending in 2, 3. 4, 5 or 6 are 

 extremely wet; those ending in 7 or 8 

 are ordinarily well balanced ; those 

 ending in 6 have extremely cold win- 

 ters ; those ending in 2 have an early 

 spring ; those ending in 1 have a late 

 spring ; those ending in 3 and 4 are 

 subject to great floods. 



^" The Rev. L. L. Langstroth has 

 been invited to attend the North- 

 western Bee-Keepers' Convention to 

 be held at Chicago, Oct. 17 and 18, and 

 accepts in the following language : 



" About the invitation to attend the 

 Convention at Chicago, and your very 

 kind invitation to me to share your 

 hospitalities, friend Newman, allow 

 me to say, I accept both with great 

 pleasure, and if nothing unforeseen 

 should prevent, I will be glad to make 

 the personal acquaintance of the 

 Northwestern bee-keepers.

The following are the latest quota-' 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour :

HONBY— The demand for extracted honey is 

 exceedingly dull; for comb honey, only fair; arri- 

 vals are plentiful. Stocks are large in the hands 

 of corn merchants and others. Onr own supply is 

 larger thiin ever, and, for the present, we cannot 

 compete with commission merchants. We may 

 have to offer lower tlgures. Our prices so far were 7® 

 9c. for extracted, and 14(gil6c. for comb honey on 

 arrival. 



BKESWAX -Arrivals of beeswax are good at 

 25(S2Sc and the demand is fair.

 more freedom this week and ijrices of last week 

 have been fully sust:iined. The cool weather has

 signments (with the excentiofi of one round lot 

 taken by merchants from Dakota Territory), our 

 demand is chiefly locM I. Extracted honey lias not
