Our readers will recollect that we noticed
last week, an article from the Boston Post de-
nounclng any attempts at coalition between
the Democrats and Free Soilers, and added that
orders were issued accordingly from Washing
ton The Washington Union, in relation to
that article confirms the statement, that;
" The Post Is wholly right in its denunciation
of the proposed coalition, looking 10 the election
of a free sol, Senator lie, the sound democrats
Of Vermont, the Post says, vote only for
democrat who stands fully and fairly on ma
tIonal democratic platform. No such man is
free soiler; and for none but such man should
democrats now vote"

STRANGE SIGnr-SEvENrY SWANS OF
Bees AT WAR. Ezra Dbblc, well-known
citizen Of tn town, and for many years engag-
ed extensively IN the management of bees, com
muncates to US the following particulars OF a
battle among his bees: " lie has seventy
swarms Of bees, about equally divided on the
east ana west sides OF his house, On Sunday,
Aug. !, about 3 o'clock. the weather being
warm and the windows open, his house was sud
denly filled with bees, which forced the family
to fee at once to the neighbors. Mr.. d., after
getting well protected against his ASSISTANTS.
proceeded to take a survey. and. If possible
learn the cause which had disturbed them
The seventy swarms appeared to be out, and
those on one side Of the house were arrayed IN
battle against those on the other side and such
a battle was, perhaps, never before Witnessed
They filled the air, covering space of ground,
and fought desperately for some three hours
moi for "spohs," but for conquest; and while
at war no living thing could exist in the vicinity
They stuug a large flock of Shanghai chickens
nearly all Of which died. and persons passing
along the roadside were obliged to make haste
TO avoid their sting A little after o'clock
quiet was restored, and the living bees returned
to their hives, leaving the slam almost literally
covering the ground, since which but few have
appeared around the hives, and those apparently
stationed as scntInels to watch the enemy. But
two young swarins were entirely destroyed, anC
aside from the terrible slaughter Of bees no othe
injury was done. Neither party was victorious
and they only ceased on the approach of night
and from utter prostration. The occasion O
this strange warning among the bees is not cas-
lily accounted for and those most conycrsar
with their management never before wltnesse
or heard ofsuch a spectacle as here narrated

Alcohol ~ ITS RELATIONS TO MUTATION

second of course of Lectures on the above sub
iect at Rev. III. w. Beechcrs church, before
highly respectable and Interested audience, after
describing the composition of the human frame,

that as the body the theatre of constant

Eentlal Ia the manifestation of life in all beings,
1t was necessary to examine the effect of alco-

Water was the first necessity OF life, and the first
question to examine whether alcohol could
be used as substitute. lie demonstrated that
it could not; being highly nhammable sub

to produce dyspepsia, and opened the course tC
all sorts of diseases. Alcohol does not digest

ordinary channel but soaks through the coat O
the stomach into the entire system. Its us,

liquid state, and thus establishes class ofchanges
that are not natural, and consequently injurious
to health. After referring TO the deieterous eff

men, and upon these generally who use alcoho
in any form, he closed his address amid the ap
probation Of the assemhlage.

The st. Louis lnteliigencer states that there
have been 10 lives lost on the Mississippi and It's
tributaries, by steamboat disasters since the FIRST
of January, when the steamboat law went into eff
feet IN some of It's important provisions, whereas,
during the same period IN lsJ2, more than five
hundred lives were destroyed IN that manner -
IL attributes the change to a new feeling of re-
sponsbity on the part Of steamboat managers.

In relation TO tins undue relative increase OF mn
ports the Boston journal says he free trad
ers have not succeeded in lulling our business
men into a feeling Of complete security as is
proved by the fact that the money and stock mar
ke,s are kccny sensitive to any reports from the
other side Of the Atlantic in relation 10 the rates
Of interest and to every luctuaton Of the English
share markets. In view of the enormous importa-
tons Of the past three or four years II is easy to
see in what manner our three hundred millions
Of dollars Of foreign debts on account of State
city and railroad bonds has been incurred
These debts are now pending, and whenever
there is an urgent demand for money in the old
world and the Bank Of England materially in
