Strnupf, ofXaiun borough, in Prussia, (medical counsellor.) un der dale o! October Inst, wo learn tlmt the Kine of Prussia hns granted full liberty rf practice to physicians of the homoeopathic fcImioI. This event may he rognreleel bp the emancipation of liomii'opnthy.

The importance of the step taken by the King of Prussia., can bo ap preciated only by those? who arc aware of the fact that the distribution of medicines in tier- j many has been permitted f.,r centurie s only to ! , then pot hocari.-s, who are required to undergo I j strict examinations, and put under oath, and arc j always under the control ofthe regular physi- c;ans, on too one band, and ofthe police on the . other. They are competed also to pay a tax, 1 are IwVMvu tocng in any other business ; 1 and a certamsnm is naal also for the privilege ! ofvemdm..' nie.hcnes. Ou'y a certain i.un.her 1 of a-MthecancR is allowed, according to the size ofthe place, and the sale of medicines is ! strictly forbidden to nil otlu-r persons. The law j I directs that no physician shall ndnimi.-ter me- I dicioes, except tlirotieh the hands of an apethe- ; cary, save in cases ol suelelen necessity, or when ' a li'.ensed sedler ofelrus is not within reach. With tliis law Hahnemann came directly into conflict. His method of preparing medicines was so entirely different from the usual one, it required so much cure, ami went plainly against the interests of the apothecaries, that lie hhould ' ' not rely upon this class of persons, but was com pellp.l to prepare his medicines himself, and te advise his students and fidlowers to the same course, especially because the party ofthe ho moeopathic mi'diciiies was to be te.-te'd, neit che mically, but microscopically and physiological ly ; and thin much time and trouble were ne cessary, and great skill. As the adherents of homoeopathy boan to 1 r mulfphy. nnd Hahnemann to receive, not nn- tr. qiien.ly. from .-,( to HM) at a tunc, ... let- tersadd.rssed to h.m from different quarters, (.tbe.nglhe custom by the way, in Kur.Te, when one wntes to a phys.cian for a.lv,ro. to encl.ise a fee nccord.ng to the rank and means e.fthe patient,) the regular physicians began to suffer ; nnd when they found that no warnings of! heirs, whether spoke,, or written, bad any effect to Hay the progress of homoeopathy, they put forward to the apothecaries, and ihe np. the- caries put forward the law ; nnd so the cause ol the hi'iiling art fell into the hands ofthe po- ' lice. Hahnemann was thus compelled to quit .. i i i i.eip.i ; nuu u:e eiie ire'eeienu ui praceice was e ranted him by the Prince of Auhalt Coethen, he removed thither. I Hut the rejoicings of the Leipzig doctor? over . his departure were of brief continuance. lie had scarcely lei) the-ir city, when a number of influential practitioners declared in fivor of his : system, sulV.cici.t to sitppo.t nit npothecary of ' . 1 ' their own.

I, A hive is composed of three kinds of bees. 1st. The epieen, who is ihe only female', nnd lay every egg in the hive. Cod. Tin drones, nnioontin? in number from r.(lf) to moil according to the population of the hive. They fecundate the egos of tiie queen, being the only males in the hive, nnd are k 11 e.l 1 v the winking bees nt the c'ose of the breeding pea son. Hd. The common working bees, ho, being' ofthe neuter gender, take no share in the" pro. cremation of tin ir specie s. They colb-et. the honey and make the w ay, and may be cab u lateel from U'1'0 tr,l!(i( in every hive. In the summer the numbers tire considerably img mooted. II. I he bees never nitow but one epieen in ,1 hive, who begins to lay her eggs nbciit the end of January, anil finishes about August 'or Septi'inbe'r. III. The young queens never lay eggs in the parent hive. If there be not a sufficient num ber f he-os to f. nn a swarm, the young queens are killed. IV. A swnrm without drones is not of nuy value; when drones are wanting, about two or three hundred to be taken from the parent live. V. A hive which has drones in ll.o winter, generally perishes. Yl. A weak swnrm will weigh from one In two pounds; a middling one from three to four pounds ; a geioel one iilionl five pounds; nnd an exce llent one from six to eight pounds. VII. Roes deprived of their queen w i'l not work, and w ill perish if there be no royal egg in the hive frr.m which the queen eanb horn. VIM. The larvre ofthe bees nro about six davs in coiep'e ting their growth, according !o ihpstate? ofthe; weather; they Ihen lake the form of a nymph or chrya'is, in wffieh they re main about fifteen days, when they emerge front the cell u perfect liec. NI Egg are hatched successively inn hive : nnd when the number of bees which have e merged from the cells bo greater than the hive can r.en'sin, t'ney form what is ch1Io1 a jricwrm, which is always accompanied by a young queen but never hy the mother queen.

The bees never to be allowed to leave the hive during the time that snow is upon the ground. XXI. The coll which contain honey are co vered with a small pe llicle, und nre flat ; the cells which contain brood are convex. XXII. The severer the cold, the less ia the consumption of food ; if kept dry, there U not anv cold in this climate which can effect the live eif Ihe bees. XXIII. The hives which nre cnmpieily clos ed during Ihe winter, become foul nnd musty, w iiich occasiems the death ofthe bees, inde pendently of their being prevented taking their pe riodical flight for the purpose of venting their fa -ces. XXIV. The mortality of bees proceeds al ine si nlwnys from the want of provisions, or The denth oflhequeen. XXV. The aspect of an apiary should nlwnys be Li the south-east. A hive with an aspect towards the north, wi'l not swarm as soon by throe weeks, ns one which has an aspect to wards the south. XXVI. Water is indispensable to bees; if not naturally in the immediate vicinity of the hives, to be artificially supplied. XXVII. Raw sugar never to be given to bees ns food ; nnd no food to be givcn,to bees w hirl, has not undergone the process of boiling, with the exception of honey itself. XXYIIl. Neither tobacco nor sulphur to be used in the fumigation of bees; the smoke -of 1 r ifil h-nvesor rngs will answer every purpose. XXIX. Every hive to stnnd upon its own pe- de-stal, two fect from the ground. Hives placed on benches, are subject to pillage and battles. XXX. A person may by law follow his swarm into the garden of another person, paying for all damages that lie may occasion, provided he can prove that he has never lost sight ol the sw arm from its departure from the hive. XXXI. The customnry noise with pokers and shovels, and frying-pans, and warming-pans, is of no real benefit. The bees will never settle until the queen sets them the example. yXXII. Deprivation of hives to take plnce in the spring, and not in the autumn. Glasses to be placed on hives in the month of February or March. Hives seldom swartn which have glass es pot over them. XXXIII. Hives to be protected from the sun in summer, when the heat is very great. In "pripg, however, the coverings tn be taken off the hives, that the sun may play fully upon the-r.i. A hive without a covering, will swar.n a fortnight soonerthan one with a covering. XXXIV. TIees to be assisted in the killing of drones. As not a single drone is lett in tho hive, they may be indiscriminately killed as soon ns the bees signify the proper time. XXXV. Rees of a fi.est swarm begin their rem.! in the middle of th hive; the bees of a second swarm 'oegin their combs at the side. A vale.able hint to the purchasers of swarms. XXXVI. Swarms always to be feel if rainy w evi'.Vier ensue immediately after their 'being .lived. The food to be given lata at night, but nrrrr in the middle oftho day. A swarm not to be? placed in the immediate vicinity ofthe pire-nt hive. XXX VII. tn winter, tho bees occupy the tn of the hive ; in spring and summer they occu py tin middle and ti.e bottom. XXXVIII. The ago of a hive determined by the color ofthe combs. The combs of a young- hive are yellow, rregiessing through every t-'uadc lei a positive black, w hich is an indisputa , , i,i- n o Mgn or an om one. XXXI.V. The goodness of a hive determined by its weight ; a hive of twenty-five pounds may be considered excellent if in ton months of Fe 'eiri.ary or March ; if in September or Octo ber it is then but if a secondary character. iNTEKfiMiTiMi Dis( ovruv.
