The New York Evening Post of Friday gives tho following account of the circumstances attending tho death of Mr. Raj'mond: Mr. Raymond, accompanied by his daughter, went to Greenwood Cemetery yesterday afternoon for tho pur pose or selecting a family plot. lie intended to have the body of one of his children who died a few weeks ago removed from the vault and reintcrred. lie returned to the Times office about five o'clock, and remarked to the associate editors that ho never felt better in his life, except a slight fceling of fatigue consequent upon his long walk through the cemetery, lie left the office about G o'clock and proceeded to his residence in WestNinthatreet, where ho remained until about ) o'clock to recover from the fatiguo >f the afternoon. Mr. Raymond left tho house about nino o'clock, remarkng to members of his family that he lad an appointment to attend a politcal meeting, and left homo for that purpose. He was seen shortly afterwards walking up Broadway, and one >r two friends who stood in front of iVallaek's Theatre noticed his elastic itep and general appcarancc of robust lealth. After attending the meeting tfr. Raymond returned to his rcsi lencc about eleven o'clock, and as loon as he bad closed the door after iim ho fell heavily upon the floor. Sone of the inmates of *lie house icard the fall, however, having rctird for the night, and not being aware if his return. About three o'clock his morning, one of Mr. Raymond's hildrcn became restless, and upon beaming fully aroused remarked that he heard some person breathing leavily. Tho persons in tho house rero immediately awakened, and on loscending to tho hallway Mr- Raymond was found extended on the oor-, entirely unconscious, but breatbig heavily and apparently with great lifficulty. He wan carried to his room nd placed upon a bed and pl^-sicians ent for with haste. Four physicians arrived soon afterwards who examin:d him and pronounced him beyond II mcdical aid. They also declared | he cause of his death to be apoplexy. lr. Baymond lingered in an unconcious stato until fiveo'clock, when he ied, surrounded by the members of lis family. He passed away apparenty with but littlo pain. The news of his death caused much xcitemcnb and very general rogret hrougliout the city.

Some ono writes: "Why not toll people who have never kept bees how to start?" This is what I have been doing for tlio last fifteen years, and now there is a class advanced to "Fourth Reader," and anxiously waiting for the "Fifth." Thcso must be kept along, and at tho samo time tho primary class duly eared for. The first thing for begin* j ners to do is, to procure some reliable ! work on tho natural history and management of the beo, study it thorough!}*, and corae to an understanding if possible, of what a swarm of bees will do under all cireumstanees. Thcro is much spurious teaching and miscrablo guess-work in instructions concerning the apiary. The man who writes without experience of his own, giving only what others have Baid, will copy an error as well as truth.? Or sometimes a porson interest* d in somo particular point in a bee-hivo will so distort the truth that it is hardly recognized. When a correct knowl- < edge of tl'io fundamental principles of i bee-keeping lias been acquired by careful study, the next thing is to get a hive or two of bees; if in movable i combs, all the better. Obtain them, i if possible, from some reliable person, l one who knows what ho is selling, and, at the same time, will not take pay for a worthless article. Bees in j the box hive are more uncertain than other stock. No person can guarantee tho future prosperity of any hive ( after it passes beyond his control. In , purchasing stocks, reject the very ( heavy and very light, A large num- j bcr of bees is more desirable than j heavy stores?especially at this season . of the year, Locate them on the t summer stand at once. If moved af- t terward, let it bo fv.r two or three , miles. Moving short distances in the . apiary is bad. Placo the stands six t to ten feet apart. Recent observa- t tions in regard to the spread of dis- f eased brood dictates a greater distanco ( between stands than formerly recom- t mended. Provido hives for the swarms, , and if you have not already movable , combs, with proper study you should t by this time bo sufficiently well in- f formed to doeire them iu so<no form. | I will not now recapitulate the advan- t tages of movable combs, nor describe ] the method of transfering combs, but t will say it is a paying investment as * soon as the advantages are compre- t hended. That the tyro may have ' confidence in his operations among J the bees, he may want to keep them i from his face and hands?from his face j by a bee-veil, nuch as described in "Bee-keeping," page 227; from his hands by thick woolen or ruber gloves. Any one who expects to do much among bees should learn to handle ^ tilings "'without mittens," until he finds out that a bee-sting is not "kil- . ling." After preparing a veil accor- , ding to tho directions referred to. punch tho pith tout of a piece of elder or other pithy wood, ten inchesjj long, or bore a holo with a slender gimlet through a suitable stick of wood, and and insert this tube in the wire-cloth opposite the mouth, by which it iB to bo held when it is desirable to use smoke to pacify tho bees. Hard wood, nearly rotten, sawed or split into pieces and inch square, makes the cheapest smoko.

Quinby in American Agriculturist, Influence of Cleanliness.?A neat, clean, fre?h.aircd, sweet, cheerful, well-arranged house exerts a moral as well as physical influence over its inmates, and make tho members of a family pcaceablc andconsiderate of each other's feelings aud happiness. The conncction is obvious between the state of mind thus produced, and habits of respoct for others, and for those high duties and obligations which no laws can enforce. Ou the contrary, a filthy, squalid noxious dwelling, in which none of the decen* ciesof life can be observed, contributes to make its inhabitants selfish, sensual, and regardless of the feelings of others.

"What nre the best and moat healthful Summer drinks ?" The immediate object of drinking is to satisfy thirst. Tiiero is hut one thing capn hie of doing thi.?, and that id water. The principal ingredient of all the different kinds of drinks used is water, and the purer the water, and the le?s quantity of other *ubs'ances mixed with U, the more perfectly does*it supply the wants of tl.e system. This being the ca?e, pure water is the best and most he.tlihfu! of drink*, not only for Summer, but for all seasons of the year. The manner in which it i* drank is very important. If it is swallowed rapidly atul in lurpa nimntiiiut may produce undue distention and pressu e of the stomach, and interfere wiili its functions and tliose of tbe surrounding organ?. If the water thus swallowed he very cold, and the system at the name tiiue be suffering from heat and fniigue, very serious results are apt to occur from thu sudden shock. Water should always be drank slowly. By sipping, tho dexire for drink is more effectually grutifi.-d, and any desirable quantity at any temperature may be drank without injurious effects. Icewater in Summer is not objectionable il tak< n in this way. Water should not be drank at or soun after meals, as it inter fetes with the proress of digestion. kkep cool.

Iu defence of ita the eagle exhibits astonishing daring and itrcngth, not hesitating to attack nen when invading their nests. A iiw years ago, a j-oung man in Scotand undertook to rob an eagle's nest >f its young, for the sake of the prenium which was offered by the authorities for the destruction of this >ird. In climbing to the nest, a very langerous, craggy precipice had to be >assed, at the top of which, on a proecting cliff, was the prize. Bei.eath "awned a chasm two hundred feet leep. With one hand tho invader teld himself up by grasping a bushhat grew out of the side of the >recipicQ, and with the other he was ciziug the young eaglets, when the >arent bird hovered in sight, and Iropping tha prey she held, and ittcring a wild scream, she darted ipon the intruder, burying her talons n the fleshy part of his neck, and issailing hip eyes with her beak. For i time, the young man's destruction eemed inevitable; but at length he ucceedcdrin drawing a knife from his rest, and opening it with his teeth, he >lunged it into, the enraged bird till to killed her. But the marks of the >ird on fiis face and neck will never >e obliterated; such was his terror, hat when he had escaped from his )eriloaB situation it was found that his jair had all turned white. As the parent eagle provides fbr, oves and defends her young, so the Lord defends and loves His people. L'bis is the meaning of the figure jooted above. Let young children earn-by heart this passage of Seripure,arid think what a blesaed privicge it is to bo one of God's own chilIreU; to nettle as it were under His >rotecting wing, to enjoy His proteoion against every onemy and every langer.
