Honey, which is produced in considerable
quantities in these parts and sold last fall at
reduced rates, being as low as 6 cents per
pound in some localities, will likely be in
good demand, as the severity of the past win
ter lias destroyed hundreds of skips of bees.
In winter bees need protection as well as
stock, and lie who neglects to put the hives in
warm quarters, will wake up in the spring to
find that the little "busy bee," stinger and all,
lias ceased to buzz, make honey and worry
meddlesome boys with its business end.
A FINE HORSE. —The celebrated stallion,
so widely and favorable known, "George
Henry Patchom," owned by ROUT. ARNOLD
of this place, is looking very fine this Spring
and presents a splendid appearance on the
road. He deserves and will receive the pat
ronage of persons desiring to raise large, fine
and first-class horses. His size is great, so
that if you fail to get stock of great speed you
will surely get valuable horses for service.
Our best horsemen admit that lie shows a 2:30
clip. The especial attention of farmers and
horsemen is called to this horse.
M. 11. CASE. Esq., who formerly resided in
Canton and was a conspicuous member of the
bar of this county, removed to Topeka fifteen
years ago, in the early history of Kansas, and
has "grown up with the country." His line
legal attainments together with many noble
traits of head and heart, have made him very
popular in the capital of Kansas, and for a
number of years past lie has been Mayor of
the city. His third term expired recently,
and the event was made the occasion of a
social gathering of more than ordinary inter
est, which is described at some length in the
Daily Commonwealth. As Mr. CASE and
his good wife have many warm friends in this
county, we copy the article:
The following unique invitation was sent
to the present and former city officers, a few
days ago:
COUNCIL CHAMBER, \
CITY OF TOPKKA, March 30, 1831. \
To You anil each of you are hereby
commanded to he and appear at a special meeting
to he held at my residence, No. 3u7 Van Bureu
•treet, at eight o'clock p. in , April 2d, A. 1). 1881,
and have you then and there your lawful wile or
sweetheart.
Hereof fail hot under such penalty aa those at
tending may intliet.
(livou under my hand and the seal of said city,
this 30th day of March, 1831.
M. 11. CASE,
Attest: Mayor.
GKO.*TAUBKU, City Clerk.
Most nil of those gentlemen who have spent
their time for the good of the city, and drawn
a salary as regularly as the exigencies would
al'ow, and a few non-office holders, the entire
company numbering seventy-five souls, were
present, and partook of tin: liberal hospitality
afforded by the Mayor and his estimable wife.
The gentlemen did not fail to bear in mind
the mandatory injunction of the invitation,
but brought with them their "lawful wife or
sweetheart."
Just before the collation was served, which
was an elegant atlair, the Mayor was present
ed by the city officers and the police force
with a beautiful changeable reclining chair,
wliioh cost the donors S6O. The presentation
speech was made by Judge D. A. Harvey,
City Attorney and Probate Judge of the coun
ty, and was responded to by bis Honor, the
Mayor, in the most feeling manner. Mrs.
Case was presented with an elegant silver
server, with her name engraved thereon.
No occasion could have been pleasanier
than this, the farewell party of Mayor Case.
At his home, he is just as genial as he is to
friends whom he talks with on the street.
Affable and humorous, kind and courteous,he
has hosts of friends who will say with us,
that in anything and everything that he may
undertake he has the best wishes of all of us.
The party continued until a late hour, aud
when the mantel clock announced that the
Sabbath day had come the guests departed,
reluctant to leave so hospitable a home.

on the day appointed, but on Wednesday,
April 13, at the residence of Mr. WILLIAM
