Civic RrvALRIEs.-The tone of the New York
Journals towards Philadelphia is curiousIy con-
temptuous, considering the size, wealth and popu-
latlon of the latter city. As the scholar said to
the chatterer, that he had forgotten more than
the chatterer ever knew, so New York considers
Its tollles fully equal to the wisdom of Philadel-
! phia. Thus the New York Express remarks that.
The Philadelphia journals, in their rabd hostility

No BEE SwARMs IN Observation-Disclosures Mis-
souri, the total failure OF the bees to swarm during
the summer just past attracts considerable atten-
tion, and eXcites much speculation. In some local
! tiles, farmers who have hundred stands, and who
watch closely the movements of the bees report
that, although the little insects have worked all
! through the summer with their accustomed indus
try and have multiplied largely, not single swarm
| has been observed.
