Bees in a Horse's Stomach.

An occurrence whioh onnr.ot badeserlH* ■.'d otherwise than as extra>'*dina>y took place at the vil'age of Collision, rear Arbroath, recently. It seems that while Mr David Cooler, farmer, Gowanbauk, waa engaged in a field at the back of rhe village furring up• turnips with a horae and plough, a cast of bees from a neigh* bouring garden settled on the head, of the animal. Strangely enough, the queen ot tho cast had found its way into the month ii the horse, and the workers immediately 1 followed It, ultimately finding their way down the throat of the unfortunate animal and into its stomach- The horse was coni.quently pat to the moefc agon* i'siag pains, and wildly scampered hither dim thither over the field with the plough at ita heels, tho crop suffering mmki damage. In a very short _itoe the AOiiM-l became exhausted and fell to the ground* Mr Cooper afforded it temporary relief, and succeeded in getting the horse to ita feet, and leading it as far as the village, where the poor beast again fell down ia great agony. After the lapse of several hou a the owner of the horse was success* fui in getting it to ita st-ible almost in collapse. Mr Cooper was severely stung adout the head and face by the bees.

The erstwhile country girl was bewildered, and despite the sffaction lavished on her by her lord, she gradually sank, and died a gracious lady, a true adornment to her elevated station, having mastered eveiy detail of card-leaving precedence.

I saw several testimonials of cures effected by Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills, arid though there were none that -would apply to my casr, J. decided to give the piiis a trial. Afier half a dozen dossß alt the itoh and irritation had gone, and though atter taking about a bottle of the Pills my skin was just the same, I persevered with the remedy, ana after a few more doses could plainly see aa improvement; and now, after taking five bottles, I am glad to ssy that I »m completely cured, and my skin whole, Dt Morse's Indian Root Pills ere a perfect blood purifier, and a positive ou>c for biliousness, i,ad gestion, constipation, bead aches, sallow complexiOß, l;v*r and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils, and felolohei and female ailments.
