ETER CAMPBELL'S IMPROVED 33EE HIVE. 1 1 he undersigned has secured letters-pa tent of the United States, dated December 14, 18t;9, for an improvement in the construction of Bee Hives, and claims for his invention advantages possessed by no other heretofore patented. The principal feature of this Pee Hive is the arrangement by means of tvhich it is thorough ly ventilated, thus precluding tho possibility of the bees smothering, the comb moulding or the honey souring. This desirable end is accom plished by a vertical perforated tube, running centrally through the hive and open at the top and bottom. AH persons interested- in apicul ture will at once see the great advantages se cured in this improvement. The ventilator ia for the increase of bees. - i. . 1 The peciHiar construction of the box, partic ularly in the arrangement of the inner com partments, whereby it can be cleaned at any time without disturbing the bees, is another valuable improvement which will be obvious to any person who examines this Hive. An examination of the workings of the bees or the condition of the interior can be made at any time, as the sides are cased with glass. Bees can be trasferred from a different hive to the improved one without any difficulty whatever. It would require too much space to enumerate here all the advantages claimed in this inven tion, but full information will be promptly fur nished by applying in person or by letter to the patentee. I am now irepared .to dispose of territory for the sale of the Improved Bee Hive in any portion of the United States. FF.TER CAMPBELL. Carrolltown, Cambria Co., Pa.

How oft when I was sick or sad With some remembered folly, The sight of you has made me glad And then most melancholy. Ah! why will thoughts of one so good Upon my sprits prey so? By you it should be understood Tom, if you love me, say so. Whate'er of ours you chance to seek, Almost before you breathe it, I bring with blushes on my cheek, And all my soul goes with it.

A remarkable story reaches us from Liverpool. Six sailors bearing the names respectively of John Coleman, D. JMcChU, Middy Baptistr, Joachim King Dilombo, Charles Lance and Francis Edward Gray, have just passed through a succession of adventures on a desert island, which more than realizes the most thrilling of many romantic stories of shipwreck written for our youth. The fine new iron clipper ship Mercurius left San Francisco early in January last on her return to England, having previously made her first voyage from the Clyde to Sidney. She was com manded by Captain Cuthbertson, an ex perienced navigator, and all wont well with her until the 25lh of March. In the early morning of that day, it being then dark and raining heavily, the good ship 8'ruck upon a dangerous coral- island known as the liocas lleef, in Iat. 3 52 S , long, 33.20 W. No one on board had thought of danger until five minutes before the Mercurius struck. The lookout man then gave the alarm, "Breakers ahead I" The Captain was called, the course was altered, and her helm was put "hard over." But it was too late. A few sec. ond9 of that intense anxiety in the endu rance of which men seem to live years, and all doubts were solved by the Mercu rius first grazing her side below the water against the sharp edges of the coral, and then striking violently on it twice. rne began to nil instantly, and as she was hanging as it were over the ledge ot tne rock, word was oassed to man the long boat, in the hope of saving all bands. But while this was being done the ship lurched suddenly outwards, and went down like a stone in lour fathoms oi wa ter. Out of twenty-two hands on board the Mercurius, the morning found but six alive, and these, after swimming two hours, and until the tide fell, gained a footing on the ledge and proceeded to ex plore it. Dooking to the sea, the tops of the fore and mainmast of the Mercurius were just visible out of the water ; looking over the islands which were to be their home, some fifteen acres of barren rock, interspersed with patches of sand and connected by a narrow isthmus with another rock equally barren, of the same size, met their gaze. One cocoanut tree formed the only sign of vegetation. It was the. sole 6urvivor of those which were planted there Botne years ago by order of Her Majesty's Consul at Pernambuco, in order that the reef might be seen more easily by the vessels on the Brazil or Cape Horn route, in the direct track of which it lies ; but there had been wrecks here previously, and with the aid of articles left behind by the survivors, the shipwrecked men contrived to bend circumstances to their will. They found two iron tanks deposited in convenient positions and filled with water, as well as a considerable quantity of broken tim ber, out of which they built themselves a loc hut They found, too, that pearl of price, a oroKen untie, a Hammer, a two ounce weight and a large copper bolt, and with 'these, cluras Jools tbey made two boats out of the planking strewed about tho mc.ks. fastening them with nails which o they extracted from the broken timber of other wrecks. It does not appear that the poor fellows had any thought of es caping in these boats, but tbey were ena LIpiI to make fishine excursions and to Vv- W sail with signals flying in search of pass ing ships in the early morning and in the evening, when the sun's fierceness was subdued. They had no clothes, and ex opnt in their huts no shade, and the trop i r ical heat was terrible. The majority of the men 6avoa were m tneir oenns wnen the Mercurius struck and swam to the rock in their shirts ; and it was not until one of their number had made a hat out f the. fibre of the solitary eocoa-tree. sew int it together with a needle made out of brass found on the island, that any protec tion for the head was to be found amon v v -w - n them. To add to their misery the reef swarmed wun venomous ants, winch bit the btrangcrs unmercifully, and with au effect which can only be realized by those who have suffered from the insect life of the tropical 'climes. The commissariat question was settled in a way which will make every scbooKbey's mouth water who reada of it. They went out in their boat, and caught fish and turtlej and they had an abundance of bird's eggs and sholl fish.; They manufactured bird traps and caught young birds, cooking them by a fire that was never suffered to go out by night or by day. They had, of course, no matches, and no means of procuring a light other than the time honored one we have all read of in Cooper's novels that of rubbing two bits of wood together till they ignite. There was no fuel belonging to the island, and the broken chin's "of for mer wrecks supplied the only material for the all important fire. Three times during their sojourn on the rocks was this fire suffered by some accident to go out ; and three times was the experiment in fiiction anxiously and successfully tried. So the time wore on until fifty-one weary day 8 in which every man scanned the horizon, and in which the strong cheered the faint-hearted and all spoke hope in turn. It is easy to picture the existence these men led. The first gratitude of es cape; the anxious search lor fellow sur vivors ; the mournful conclusion that their shipmates were no more ; the stern neces sity which bade them work, invent, con trive ; the development, day by day, of some fresh ingenuity, some little suspect ed quality in each, and the gradual accu mulation of reliefs, and even comforts (. can all be traced. They were prudent men men taught by a calamity to pre pare for a rainy day : for when rescued, they had two hundred eggs in store, and are described as being in good condition. Their rescue was not effected until the 15th of May, when the commander of the iron clipper bark Silver Craig, Cnptain Cohn, was approaching i'ernambuco, and discerned a lump on the well known lio cas Beef, which he made out to be a hut. Drawing near he discerned a signal of dis tress, composed of a seaman's striped 6hirt. fluttering half mast high, and he then hove to within six miles from the island, and waited until six nearly naked men put off in their rude boats and came I on board. They were kindly and hospi tably received, and had a passage given them to Liverpool, where they are now telling their Krange story, and exhibiting their cocoa fibre hats, which were until recently their only articles of attire, and which they now keep as mementoes of the perils they have escaped. In simple force, in romances, in strangeness, in fertility of resources, and in adventure the real expe rience of these six sailors is worthy of Defoe, and makes most fictitious histories of shipwrick seem tame and feeble by comparison. London News, Juno 23d. An Indian Komakck. Grace Green wood writes as follows : "At the Land Office, the other day, Mr. Wilson, the Indian Commissioner, who has collected a remarkably curious and valuable cabi net and museum, showed us a singular trophy of Indian warfare a head dress of the most frightful and diabolical de scription. It was composed of buffalo horns and skins, adorned with wampum and tinsel, and long, wild tutts ot buttalo hair. Depending from this was a tail of inordinate length, also tinselled and tuft ed, with small 6leigh-bells running all the way down it. This umcme accoutrement was once the property of Tall. Bull, a Cheyenne chief, who was killed in a tight with tue United States 5th Cavalry and their Pawnee aux ilaries under General Carr, eome time last summer. When this chief, who was a gigantic 6avago, saw the day was lost, he Dut his wife and child on a pony, and sent them within our lines, telling them to surrender to the whites. I he Indian woman, who was kindly received, 6aid that when her husband told her she must give herself up, she urged him to go with her, but that be covered bis ears with Ins hands to shut out her entreaties, and rushed back into the fight, which was the last she ever saw of the lamcuted Tall Bull. He was speedily killed, and these are bis remains. In this same engage ment, another Cheyenne woman, young and remarkably handsome, came dashing into our ranks, with two children strapped to her pony, liut she did not come to surrender. She came like a fighting fury, armed with a longjinife, with which she struck frantically right and left. At last, seeing herself about to be captured, she stabbed to the heart first one child, and then the other, then herself, and so per ished a Medea whom there ia no Euri pides to immortalize."

Some seventy or eighty years ago St. Clair led a regular organized army of two thousand men into the West, for the pur. pose of punishing the numerous Indians who had massacred Col. Crawford, al most annihilated the forces of General Harmar, and committed innumerable out rages upon the frontier. ; , Through gross mismanagement, this campaign proved far more disastrous to our arms than either of its predecessors. The defeat of General Braddock, forty years before, was not more complete. The attack, as usual, was made at night. The long grass, bushes and logs seemed ablaze with savages. Instances of individual bravery were not wanting, and the officers mingled in the hottest of the fight in the fort to rally their men ; but the army was hopelessly ''demoralized," and they retreated turbu lently before their unrelenting enemies like a panic-stricken mob. It was on the day preceding this action, that Kcnnan met with an adventure, lie was attached to the light corps, and was universally admitted to be the fleetest run ner in that body. On the march into the wilderness he proved this on more than one occasion ; and, by common consent, he was looked upon as one of the leading spirits of the company. Unmistakable signs proved to the advancing army that they were upon the eve of battle ; and, in order to give notice of the approach of the savages, the light corps was advanced to the lront of the first line of infantry. Its sentinel duty was performed so well that no demonstration was made by the Indi ans, although subsequent events proved that this was the time fixed upon for the assault. Just as the day was dawning, and ob jects were becoming dimly visible, Ken nan turned to a comrade beside him, and whispered in an excited undertone : "I tell j'ou there are Injins in those bushes yonder, and they are creeping up to us !" "Let's crack away nt 'em, and dig dirt !" suggested his companion, showing some signs of trepidation. "I don't like the looks of them copper-colored imps." Some twenty rangers were standing beside Kennan at this time, the rest being considerably in the rear. None except the one referred to expressed tho desire to llee. But they were all anxious to secure shelter for themselves. "They don't outnumber us much, boys," added Kennan, a moment later ; vo let's all strike for kiver, and there's a powerful chance for fun." As be spoke the ranger sprang forward several paces to a spot where the grass was unusually luxuriant, and taking quick aim, laid the foremost Indian dead in his track. Then dropping flat upon his face, he commenced reloading his rifle with great rapidity, not doubting for a second but that his comrades would maintain their position immediately behind him and support him in the skirmish. Kennan, however, was mistaken in supposing that not more than twenty-five or thirty Indians were before him. Ful ly ten times that number were advancing, and they now poured in, iu such over whelming force, that his companions only escaped with their lives by precipitate flight. Not suspecting the stampede, Kennan was ramming the charge home in his piece, when one flying ranger called out : "Bun, Kennan, or you are a dead man!" Springing to his feet, the ranger saw the savages within a dozen paces of him while his comrades were over a hundred yards away, running at the top of their speed. Not a second was to be lost. Turning on his heel, he strained every muscle to its utmost, and ran as he had never run before, knowing that his only safety lay in reaching his companions. He made directly for the the usual fording-place in the creek, which lay between him and camp ; but, aware of his intention, sever al ot the fleetest made desperate attempts to "head him off." But bounding for ward, several of his extraordinary leaps carried him beyond this danger, and he wa3 rapidly approaching the creek, when several Indiana who had passed him while he was lying in the grass, sprang up di rectly in bis front, feeling no doubt that the bird was caught in the snare beyond all possibility of escape. Making an ab rupt turn to one side, Kennan darted away like a frightened panther, the whole horde speeding after him. His astonishing flectness threw all hi3 pursuers considera bly in the rear, excepting a young chief, whose speed was as remarkable as his own. In the circuit which the ranger was compelled to make, the race between this chief and himself was continued for fully a quarter of a mile. The distance between them at the start was about twenty feet, and the most powerful exer tion of the fugitive could not widen it one inch. Both put forth their whole soul in the race, and it would have been a thrill in" sight to have witnessed this wonder ful trial of speed. The chief held his tomahawk aloft as if he were about to throw it, and Kennan kept glancing over his shoulder, in order to be prepared for it. The terrific rate at which theee two rao carried them so far in advance of the others that Kennan had resolved to turn and try the mettle of his enemy in a hand-to-hand conflict, be ing positive that he could finish him before any of tho others could come to his as sistance. ., , . Feeling in his belt for his knife, he found it lost ! Kennan said, in relating the incident afterwards, that this sudden discovery fairly lifted his hat from off his bead. lie had unconsciously abated hia speed also for a moment, so that the In dian was within reach of him ; but the shock which he had received added such an impetus to hia flight, that for the first time, he saw ho was gaining ground But, Iiko the renowned pioneer, Captain John Smith, he paid little attention to his footsteps, until, all at once, he found him self in front of a large tree, which had been blown over, tho upturned roots being covered with brush and other impediments to the hight of ten feet. Now certain of his victim, the pursuing Indian uttered an exultant shout. Ken nan did not hesitate for a second, but cas ing all his strength into play, he made one mighty effort, and bounding high in the air, went clean over tree, limbs and brush, without suffering a scratch. Not pausing for an instant, he continued his flight, while the involuntary yells of amazed enemies showed that not one of them had attempted the feat. Shortly after, he reached the camp. Komakce ok the Streets Three years ago a wealthy young Englishman came to this country on a tour of obser vation, and at the hotel where he stopped, when making Boston his headquarters, it was known that he was of an aristocratic family, lie was always ia funds, and consequently had plenty of friends. But the down-stairs attractions of the Parker House the bar and the billiards got the better of him, and soon his habits were very intemperate. More than once he had been kept out of the station house by friends. His conduct finally became such that the young Englishman had to change his boaiding place, and he went into Howard street, a notorious locality. In the meantime the drafts ceased to come to him, and poverty stared him in the face, until he was turned into the street. From post to pillar he knocked roun 1 ; and so neglected that even his most intimate friends could aut recognize him. All this time he craved liquor, and became an in mate of one of the lowest dens in North street, associating with the thieves and prostitutes of the locality. A few months ago a dead body was found floating in a dock not far from the scenes of his de bauchery, and the body rested at the Dead House for identification. An inquest was held, and the usual Coroner's verdict in such cases given. A few weeks ago, an agent from England was in town search ing for the young Englishman. It ap peared that his parents had died about a year ago and he was sole heir to the for tune, amounting to some 220,000. Through the agency of the police it was satisfactorily shown that the young Eng lishman had fallen overboard from the tFeets of forty rod whisky, and that his body had been buried at the expense of the city.

The end. The snoav was so deep in Cheshire county, New Hampshire, last winter, that it was difficult for persons meeting with leams to pass. An eccentric citizen, well known in the coonty, and having a defect in hia speech, was coining to the village with a horse and sleigh, ami being about to meet a stranger with a team, ex claimed, "7 urn out! turn out I my fath cr's dead!" llm which the stranger, with much difficulty, turned out and gave him the entire road. After he had got fairly by, the stranger turned and inquired of him when his father died, to which the grief-harrowed citizen responded that his venerated parent had peacefully sunk to rest about fifteen years ago J ' Some four weeks ago, as an omnibus dashed up to one of the Dong Branch ho tels, a lady's hat blew under tho wheels and was crushed. Her display of good nature over the accident so ptruck an Eng lish lord that he sought an introduction, and tbey were shortly engaged to be mar ried. It is now stated that not a 'bos drives up to a Long Branch hotel but that the ground is so covered with hats that the driver can't get down until a small boy shovel them into a band cart. IIOY'S RIGHTS. fir A nov.- Talk nbotit the women and the darkey?, and the the all tho rest of 'cm ; all aro not half so badly treated as the boys are. Ask any boy.

You're to take all tho sass that's given to you, and give none back, 'cause you're a boy. You are to pay full fare in the cars and omnibus, 'cause you're a boy and not a child ; and never have a seat, 'caose you're a boy and not a man. Fat women gets in after it's all full and looks abouc her ; every body looks at you. Old gen tleman says, "My son," reprovingly. Conductor says, vCorae now, my boy." You've paid your sixpence. No mat ter, that's nothing. You've been on your legs with bundles, all day. Who Cares, you're a boy. Now a horse has such a load given to him as he can carry, and a man won't take any more than In can walk under. Ask boys what grown folks think they carry. Thero's no limit to iL Who doesn't know a boy who does a man's work well, and does it for a tenth of what a man wouid get for it ? Who hasn't read an advertisement for a boy who "writes a good hand, understand ac counts, is willing to make himself useful boards with his parents ; if trustworthy, no objection to sitting up all night ; not anxious for meals at regular timca; no impudence about him. The best recomen dalions required, and two dollars a week wages." Ask boys whether old fellows don't make as much fuss about such places as if they were doing you a favor that would set you up for life. Who wants a boy anywhere ? Your sisters don't in a parlor. Your father don't; he always asks j'ou whether you're not wanted to do something, somewhere." You make your mother's head ache every time you come near her. Old women snap you up. Young women "hate boys." Young men tease you, and give it to you if you tense back.
