A remarkable illustration of the ferocity of bees when robbed of their honey was given one day last week on Mr. C. Rumbal's farm (.says the Waitara Maill. Early in the morning Mr. Rumba! took the honey, and placed it inside the kitchen, intending to deal with it later in the tin.,- after his return from Waitani. It a' pears thai, the bees found that a small liolo in the ivindow gave them an opportunity to get at the product of (their labor, and it is, we understand, well known that the busy little insect becomes quite savage if 'it gets at its honey after it lias been once taken from the hive. On this occasion the bees got into the house, and out again. They attacked anything and everything in their way, and set on to two dogs amongst their viotims. These animals were tied up, and could not get away from their tormentors, the result being that they were stung to death. J'he pigs were next set on, but tliev thought 'discretion the better part of valor," and stampeded to the hush. The calves and horses also suffered severely. katcr in the day, when Mr. Rumbal's' lioys returned from school, the eldest, lad'went to the rescue of the stock in a very pl*ek.y way, and by wrapping a tent fly round his head, he was able lo release two of the dogs which had survived the stings from their chains The two animals whose death ensued ueiv valuable canines, one being well trained I'll- cattle and the other with the gun. The Vest-Pocket Kodak is the perfect miniature camera. The Davies Pharmacy have them. J
