Queen street, at present occupied by Mr. J.
Kolirer, the liquor merchant, which will be

Overeeat?, of which 1 have a large sleck
en hand, I will close out at 25 per cent, less
than the original cost. The above figures
are positively about halt of my former

Hats which must be closed out regardless of

White Shirts from a manufacturer of this

were sold formerly at $1.50. Don't lafl te
procure sonic of them before they arc all

Cellars, best quality, which I will sell at

Last week some one entered the premises
of Levi Adams and stele a machine for

it excited the stealing propensities of some

and, who thought, no doubt, that it might

BEE-KEEPING-.
MEETING OF THK BEK KEEPER'S SO
C1KTX. Repert en Wintering Bee en Summer
Stands and in Bee Houses.
The Lancaster county bee-keeper's asso
ciation met in the parlors of the Black
Herse hotel yesterday afternoon.
The following members were present :
Peter S. Reist, president, Lititz ; J. F.
Hershcy, Mount Jey ; Elias Hershey, Par
adise ; Jehn S. Relirer, city ; Levi S.
Reist, Oregon ; Stephen Grissinger,
Raphe ; Frank 11. Dilfcnderffer. city.
Peter S. Reist reported that he had
about CO hives of bees which were kept
for him " en the shares " by different pet-
sons. Ihey were wintered en summer
stands with no ether protection than a
wind-brake of beards placed behind the
stands. They received no extra feed dur
ing the winter. Of the CO colonies only
five died se far as he knew. Of-thcse,
two were found te have had plenty of
honey, aud the ether three which were
young colonies starved. The remaining
hives appear te be strong aud healthy.
They were flyiug about briskly during a
lew warm days in February. Mr. Reist
read the following paragraph which he
had clipped from a late newspaper : "The
champion bee-keeper lives, very appropri
ately, in Becton, Cal., and bears the net
unfamiliar name of Jenes. In the year
1879 from S00 colonies of bees he obtained
15.000 pounds of honey, aud iu 18S0 from
400 colonies he obtained 20,000 pounds,
worth $2,000, and the latter was a b:ul
year for honey. During the latter year he
obtained COO new colonies from the 400,
and commences 1881 with 1,000 colonies
of bees, valued at $7,900, independent et
the eest of the hives. Mr. Jenes says he
will clear 10,000 this year unless some
unforeseen accident occurs."
Jehn S. Rohrer, city, said he had win
tered six colenics ou summer stands. They
all appear te' be in geed condition at this
time. During last summer he obtained
from his hives about 200 pounds of honey,
one of the hives yielding 80 and another
75 pounds. Last fall he carefully cleaned
the hives and carefully closed them up,
leaving only an opening of about a quar
ter of an inch square. He thinks it a mis
take te leave tee much honey in the hives
during winter ; he makes a practiea te
take away the honey as fast as it is made,
leaving the bees only enough te feed en.
If tee much honey is left in thy hive in
winter, the bees will feed en the surplus
store in the upper boxes first, or can y it
into the boxes below. The hive will thus
be tee much crowded te give them suffi
cient room and ventilation.
J. F. Hershey, of Mount Jey, said that
he went into winter quarters with 113 col cel col
onics ; he wintered them in a bee hive
built expressly. for the purpose. lie divi
ded many of his swarms and built them
up en four. Jive te seven frames. Thus far
he had three colonies. The ether appear
te be in geed condition, a great many of
them having jeung bees, cap-breed, eggs
aud larva. He hadVgiveu the bees a flight
during the warm spell in February, and
will give them another as seen as the
weather becomes warm enough.
Mr. Hershey also reported that W. D.
Detweiler, of Mount Jey, had gene into
winter quarters with eighty colenics and
that he had net lest a single one ; had
given them a ilight in February and they
seemed strong ; he wintered his bees in a
bee-house similar te Mr. Hershey's. Mr.
H. II. Myers, of Spring Garden, had gene
iute winter quarters with twelve or fifteen
colonies and lest nene.a He also wintered
his bees in a similar house ; se did Ames
Engle with equally geed success. A num
ber of Ills neighbors who wintered their
bees ou summer stands had lest from three
te six swarms, some losing all they had,
while these who used bee-houses lest few
or none at all.
Elias Hershcy,ef Paradise, said he start
ed with twenty-nine swarms, and nine of
them arc new dead aud the ethers rather
weak. He left them ou the summer
stands during the winter, without any ad
ditional protection. Nearly all his neigh
bors had lest all their bees. His father,
Jacob Hershey, had ten hives of the old
black native bees and they had steed the
winter well and appear te be strong. Mr.
Hershey thought his own bees and these
of his neighbors had died from diarrheea
and dysentery, aud the unclean and uu uu uu
wholseme condition of the iiivcs caused by
these diseases, and some of them perhaps
were frozen te death during the long
spell of cold weather.
Frank IS. Diffendcrffcr remarked that
the danger is net yet ever ; bees are liable
te die between this date aud the time at
which they commence te gather honey.
He asked for information as te the best
mode of keeping them in geed condition
from this time forward.
J. F. Hershey answered that all the
comb should be taken from weak colenics
except just se much as they can well cover ;
the hive should be contracted by placing a
division beard through the centre of it te
keep the bees closer together ; they should
be fed daily, and have plenty of honey ;
during cold weather the hive should
be covered with a blanket and en sun
shiny days, if then be a cold wind blow
ing the entrance te the hive should be al
most closed and darkened, se that the
bees will be retarded from leaving the
hive, as in such weather they are apt te
drop down and become se chilled that
they wannet return te the hive. As the
coleuy becomes stronger the division beard
may be removed from- the hive, and the
bees may be given another empty comb,
and se en from time te time until they are
built up. into a strbng, full-sized colony.
There are many weak swarms that can be
saved by careful nursing in this way, that
will inevitably die if neglected. Streng
swarms may be growing short of honey ;
these must be fed ; the bottom beards
carefully cleaned and made sweet, and the
hives, if en summer stands, shielded from
the cold March winds.
Elias Hershey suggested that where two
or mere colonies were weak they might be
strengthened by uniting them byputting
them together in one hive.
Levi S. Reist, of Oregon, reported that
he wintered three colonies en the summer
stands and that one of them had died.
The dead colony were young bees, and
probably starved because of an insuffici
ency of feed.
After an informal discussion, during
which regret was expressed at the small
ness of the meeting, and the lack of in
terest shown in the society by many of our
local bee-keepers, it wa3 agreed te adjourn
te meet again en the second Monday of
Slay.
A five-year-old son of Mr. Kane, residing
in Allegheny, was killed ou Sunday while
playing around near a lumber yard. A
heavy gate fell en him, causing instant
death.
SAU-AH-BRAH.
HIS SECOND LECTURE IN LANCASTER.
Religious Ceremonies and Secular customs
of tne HIades.
A geed-sized audience assembled in the
First Baptist church last evening te hear
the second lecture upon the religious and
secular customs and ceremonies of the
people of India, by Sau-Ah-Brah, the con
verted Burmese. After a prayer by Rev.
J. B. Seule the lecturer was introduced
by the minister of the church.
Mr. Ah-Brah began by referring te the
abruptness with which he had left his sub
ject en Sunday evening, and intimated
that he would new continue it. "I have
spoken te you of the curious habits and
straugeness of life among my people, and
you have heard briefly a description of
our curious religion. And, new, if our
religion is te you se curious, in what man
ner will the lives, business aud education
of the'peeple be conducted?" Maps be
ing extended against the wall the speaker,
pointing te Burmab, described the sur
rounding countries, and then Burmah
itself. "Like China, our old sister Bur
man has beautiful scenery and healthful
climate." Referring te the old
city of Calcutta and the river
Ganges, the lecturer said : "This rich and
ancient city and river arc known te old
missionaries and travellers for ages and
ages past. Burmah is divided into two
parts, each having nothing in common
with the ether. Instead of a year being
twelve months wc, in India, have really a
year a season each month. Alse, we
have leap years, but they come differently
from the leap ears of civilized countries,
and the proposals of leve take another
ierni." And, tee, you wonder what kind
of people we arc ? Hew de we appear ?
Like animals ? Ne. Like ferocious sav
ages ? Ne. And yet, I am sorry te say,
we are the most depraved aud ignorant,
for, though we have forms and actions as
ether nations, the Burmese are called
" The People of Lies." But I can say I
am net a Burmese. Te make myself
plain I would say, though I was born
among them and my parents were
of that nation. 1 de net new live
with them, neither de I believe in their
religion ; therefore I am net a Burmese."
In speaking of the scenery and fruits of
Burmah, the lecturer remarked, "cast
your eyes about you aud you see beauti
ful rivers and rich vegitatien. grand moun
tains and flowery plains. We have fruit
in abundance. We need net labor for
subsistancc, and we live rather from na
ture's hand than from our own prevision.
We laugh, singsengs and are nappy, our
-fiuits are all better than yours, better
thau your blackberries, your strawberries,
and even better than your gooseberries.
Laughter. And new can you wetider,
my friends, we love these things and still
live in darkness ;" while making these re
marks the speaker showed a chart upon
which were portrayed some of their princi
pal fruits. A specimen of the string beau,
the pod .of which was about three feet in
length, was also shown.
III regard te wearing apparel Sau-Ah-!

,
what they cheese. The lady with her
long polonaise, the gentleman with his
swallow-tailed coat, the Jew with his
dingy clothes, or the Chinaman with his
wide trousers, would excite no comment."
Referring te his costume the lecturer
asked ; " Could you solve the question
whether I am a woman or man from my
dress ? I have eiten been called a woman,
but I am none, nor de I wish te be."
Sau-ah-Brah described at some length the
style and manner of wearing clothes iu I
Burmah, fastening and unfastening the i
outer garments of the costume he were, in
which lie indeed showed marvelous dex
terity. His turban, which, te all who are
unacquainted with its construction, would
have easily created the belief that it was a
regular manufactured article of dress ; but
easily was that belief dispelled when the
lecturer unwrapped from about his head a
large piece of thin cloth, and then re
wrapped it in its former position aud style,
remat king that if he had a looking-glass
he miidit make himself handsome, but in
the absence of one he would take it for
granted that he is handsome. "Style," he
said, " never changes in Burmah, and
when clothes get soiled they turn them
round ;" a proceeding easily effected with
the pieces of cloth which enveloped his
body.
In a description of houses Sau-Ah-Brah
remarked that as they were all constructed
of bamboo, no nails nor iron articles arc
required. " Are there any apartments
kitchen, parlor, bedrooms ? Ne, only one
room. I)e you cook in that room ? yes ;
sleep ? yes ; eat ? yes, and we make love
tee. Hew does a whole family sleep there ?
Why easily, I would sleep in one corner,
my wife in another, my father in one, my
mother in one and the children in another.
But when visitors come what de I de?
Why they sleep iu the middle. And uew
here is a bed." Here the speaker held up a
piece of material resembling thin oilcloth
about 5 feet in length, which be said was
their bed. "It is only big enough for one
and if a man wants te get married he must
buy ene for his wife." The mode of cover
ing the body was then portrayed. The
lecturer showing that only a long piece of
material, which covered the body and face
was used, and this was required mere for
a guard against the mosquitoes than for
waimth.
The manner of passing the evening
with the family at home was theu de
scribed, during which Sau-Ah-Brah, show
ing hew the father sings the children te
sleep, sang, in the Burmese language, a
nursery song, which, though unintelligible
te all but himself, was replete with a
sweet softness that came from the eupho
nious rise and fall of the musical words.
In regard te eating, the speaker said
that rice, boiled twenty minutes, fruits
and a glutinous substance of fish, flour,
etc., were the principal diet. This was
eaten from the "iamily dish, a large
round utensil, by all th members of. the
household at the same time.
As regards vocations in Burmah, there
are seme mechanics and some farmers.
An instrument, something in the shape
of the instrument used te cut corn in the
fields in this country, was here exhibited,
which, the lecturer said, was their prin
cipal tool. With it they dig, cut, pre
pare their feed, shave, and lastly, util
ize it as an instrument of death either in
conflict or as a punishment for crime. On
the whole net a large amount of labor is
pci formed, as the people's needs can
easily be obtained.
A description of the wearing apparel of
women was then given, which only illus
trated that fashion for adornment is pre va
lent all ever the world. The lecturer said
that he had often been asked if polygamy
was practiced in his country. Te this
question he could only reply that a man
might- marry as many women as he de
sired if he could support them. "It is
better, they find, te have but one wife, as
two or mere can never agree together."
San-Ah Brah then gave a description of
the manner of conducting courtship and
marriage iu Burmab, first remarking that,
as he was a single man and had never felt
the throbs of love, he could only talk from
observation. "Hew about love and mar
riage ? I will tell you. I see a young girl
who is handsome. I love her ; she must
be mine ; her life and mine mast forever
be ene. What de I de? I go te my
Prfc Tw Crate.
father and say, 'I love a girl, she must be
my wife.' He asks, cau sue cook, make
olethes and work ? I say yea te all he
asks, though I don't knew anything about
the girl whatever. Of coarse my father
does net take my own words for it, and at
my request, he gees te see the parents of
the lady te ask them for their daughter.
After some conversation about the weather
the subject is breached. The parents of
the girl then ask what his son can de. He
tells them everything, though aware of
many short-comings. The matter is then
Fettled between them. I de nothing to
wards preparing for the marriage ceremo
nies ; the girl does all that. She first
makes the marriage garments for both.
Then, when the day for the marriage te be
observed comes, I go te the house of my
sweetheart, at the top of which she is
patiently awaiting my coming with friends.
As we draw near we dance and sing. Then
I begin te ascend the ladder te my intend
ed, and as I go up step by step and reach
a height at which I could steal a kiss from
her sweet face, a dish of water which she
has with her she empties down ever ray
head. The wedding garment is then given
me, and we are pronounced man and wife
te trust each ether through life."
A large chart was exhibited upon which
was the alphabet, and come words of the
Burmese language. These were pronoun
ced and spelled by Sau Ah-Brah, who said
that the language is frequently mastered
in two years time. He then dwelt a short
time en some personal reminiscences and
then closed with heartfelt thanks te the
people of Lancaster for their kindness,
and a touching farewell.
