A swarm of bees were the chief actors in a little drama that was played at Stony Creek the other day. When the mailman, Mr Cave, was placing the mail in the Stony Creek mail-box he was a little agitated to find that a swarm of bees had taken possession of the box, and seemed loath to leave their new residence. With a, little careful manoeuvring, however, the’mail was placed in the box, very much to the disgust of the bees, who showed their strong disapproval by continually darting at the mailman, and ho, thinking discretion the better part of valor, hurriedly threw the remainder of the mail into the box and retired. The shepherds had a somewhat exciting experience when they called at the box later on for the mail, being charged by the infuriated bees. The shepherds, however, were not to be denied, and, after the first surprise, they charged their winged enemies, eventually gaining the situation and carrying off part of the mail. The remaining portion was secured about an hour after.—Taranaki Daily News.
