MISCELLANY. '
THE LIQUOR XAVV,
The Supreme Judicial Court of Maine,
at its law term, held at Austa,tn Thurs
day last, gave an important decision, which,
in its practical results, must nullify, or at
any rate abridge the working- of the recent
- liquor law in the manner and form in which
it is attempted to be enforced. A written
opinion of the Court, prepared by Chif
Justice Shepley, was given on Thursday,
which wilt, as welearn.be published in the
tieXt issue of the Age.
The decision is, that Justice of the Peace
Police and Municipal Judges, have no pow
er to try and pass sentence for the offence
of celling liquor, under the second section
of that act, unless provision is made there
for by the act establishing such Municipal
or Poliq Court ; or, in other words, gkt
cne crime of selling liquor can only be tried
In the Supreme Judicial Court, after all in
tlictment by the Grand Jury. -
John Hessum was tried before the Po
Jice Court of the city of Augusta, for sel
ling a glass of liquor, and sentenced to pay
e fine of $20 and 30 days' imprisonment
He was brought before the Supreme Court
,on a writ of habeas corpus, his counsel, Se
wall Ijancaster, Esq., claiming that he was
unlawfully imprisoned. The Court cited
.in the County Attorney, R. H. Vdse, Esq.,
- and the question was fully argued and
considered. The result was, a discharge
of the prisoner, and the, proceedings of the
Police Court declared null and void. .
As we shall soon have the opinion of
the Court, we shall not attempt to give in
full the grounds of this decision. It is suf
ficient to say, that the power to try and
punish the offence of rum-selling is not
conferred on Justices of the Peace, or on
ihe Judge of the Police Court of Augusta
or Portland, and that no man can be sent
to prison therefor, except on a full trial and
conviction by a jury in the Supreme Judi
cial Court. .
This decision, practically, nullifies the
liquor law, and takes from our Police
Courts all jurisdiction in the , matter of li
quor selling.
The Maine law party are overwhelmed
by a single blow, and" this decision termi--
nates their career, unless our worthy Gov
ernor shall think it wise to call the Legis
lature together, to take action in the prem
ises, in view "of this momentous crisis in
. the history of the liquor law."

Proclamation Against the Kiniiey Expedl-
: . tlon.
The government of Nicaragua ha3 be
come very much alarmed at the announce
ment that the Kinney expedition was about
"to arrive there. The Governor has issued
an edict, declaring it a ''piratical" expedi-
" tion, and therefore decrees:
Art. 1. All able-bodied Nicaraguans arc
summoned to take up arms and defend the
independence of the country against the
piratical foreirn invasion which threatens
it. "
Art. 2. Wherefore, from the publication
ot tnis decree, they will oe ready to serve
when the occasion requires it, hastening to
put themselves at the disposal of the mill
tary chief at the proper point, at the first
signal of alarm, which he may give. '
Art. 3. The same Nicaraguans are bound
if the said expedition commences opera
tions, to prosecute to death the incividuals
of it who enter the country ; and those
who do not comply will be subject to such
punisnment as tne government may pre
scribe.
Art. 4. Those who voluntarily entertain
the enemy, or afford them aid of any sort,
will be considered and treated as traitors
to the country. :
Art 5. At present, and so long as it is
- probable that said expedition will be put in
operation, all foreigners are prohibited from
remaining upon the frontiers of the Repub
lic, and the respective military command
ers will require them to retire without de
lay to the, principal towns in the interior I
Art. 6. The foregoing prohibition does
not include foreigners previously establish
ed in the country, nor those who may come
in transitu transported voluntarily by the
" Accessory Transit Company in Nicaragua,
provided neither the one nor the other give
just grounds to suspect them as accompli
ces to the expedition or favorable to it. ;
Art. 7. The adventurers, Kinney and
. Fa bens, are prohibited from entering the
Re. ublic, whatever may be the objeet and
character with which they profess to come.
And if they do succeed in entering, the au-
r thorities of the Republia will take care' to
apprehend and deliver them to the nearest
military commander, that he rriay convey
them with greater security to the military
i governor of the department where the gov
ernment resides. ' ' ?
': Art 8. In case the filibusters occupy
any town of the Republic, the inhabitants
thereof are required to abandon it and has
ten to the nearest one in which there may
ibe government forces. Those who fail to
do so, will suffer the punishment which it
paay prescribe, f v,; ' J
It is stated that two vessels of war, one
: English and the other French, are at Grey
town, on the look out for the expedition.
DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION.
An extensive fire occurred in Philadel
phia on Friday evening last, about half-past
' nine o'clock, which was not checked until
" about thirty-five or forty thousand dollars
worth of property-had been destroyed. It
originated in the extensive Saw and Plan
ing Mill on the north side of Brown above
Fourth street, owned by Abner Lincoln,
which was entirely consumed, along with
Union Hall, a large four story brick build
ing occupied by the colored Odd Fellows,
: ihe Zoar African Church, the coach facto
ry of Wagner, and some ten or eleven
email Suildingt on Brown and Fourth sts.
occupied by families, all of whom are ren-
dered homeless by the sad calamity. Only
. about $20,000 of insurance was effected on
the property, which was divided between
some six or seven C the sufferers.
We were an eye witness to this fire, and
it indeed presented a scene of rare beauty.
fhe moon shone brightly, and the sky, ex
cept a small portion, was undimmed by a
cloud.; The liirht of the conflagration
glared redly on the prominent spires and
steeples-of the city, while the reverse side
of the same were illumined by the palp sil
very beams of the moon, lo add to the
effect of the picture, a thunder storm, was
fast approaching, and the heavy clouds at
the northward, rendered still more murky
by the dense masses of smoke, were occa
sionally cleaved by vivid flashes of lightning.-

Geu. Houston and the Battle of St. Jacinto.
Gen. Houston, in a recent address, in re
lation to the battle of San Jacinto, gave a
version of the his'ory of its incidents, and
his own connection with them, which has
brought out a host of indignant commenta
tors, who not only d--ny ihe truth of his
arrative, but nccuse him of cowaf dic and
incapacity. Ihe iN. IX Picayune, o the
27th ult., says ;
" 1 he first to reply was David K. Burnett,
formerly President of Texas, and by the
mails which arrived vesterday we have two
other addresses one by Gen. Sidney Sher
man, and one by Gen. Mirabeau B. Lamar,
also once President of Texas. The gen
tlemen were officers during the battle of
San Jacinto, and they concur with Burnett
in declaring Gen. Houston s narrative false
throughout, and in affirming that the bat
tle was (ought against the wishes and
judgment of Houston, who is accused,
moreover, of behaving with personal cow
ardice as well as showing utter incapacity
as a Get eral. Gen. Sherman says that
whenever a full narrative of the battle is
given truthfully to the world, 'Gen. Hous
ton's mushroon fame will rapidly decom
pose and sink into putrescence with the
mass of falsehoods upon which it rests;'
and Gen. Lamar says : 'My own opinion is
that he, himself, (Houston) was the only
coward on that field. I can name no oth
er, and him I know as one."
ITIIE CALIFORNIA NUGGET OF GOLD.
t A few days ago we announced the
anival at Harve, by the Ariel, of a nug
get of native gold, of the value of about
200,000 francs, which was in the hands
of two miners, and was to be exhibited
at the Universal Exhibition in Pans.
We learn to-day from Paris that the
mugger, instead of being lent to the Ex
hibition, was presented to the bank of
t ranee in view of obtaining an advance
on its consignment. The Bank having
assayed it, found that it was a piece of
lead covered with gold, upon which the
roughness and unevenness of native
gold had been ingeniously imitated.
An investigation has been commenced,
to discover if the fraud had been com
mitted at the diggings or during the voy
age. Paris Journal, llth ult.
LOCAL EPISCOPALPREACHERS
The Episcopal Church has by a can
on created an order of men not unlike
the local preachers in the Methodist
Church. Men in secular life can attain
to the order of deacons, and continue in
secular business still. Seven or eight
gentlemen in New York city have com
plied with the provisions of this canon :
and now although on work' days em
ployed m various secular business, on
the Sabbath assist in the ministrations
of the sanctuary ; they are deacons but
not permitted to preach without special
leave oi tne liisnop.
AN OLD MAN.
We lately had the pleasure of a visit
from one perhaps of the oldest men in
Marvland. Mr. Richard Prandpll. who
was born in this county on the 16th of
T 1 1 mT .
j my, ana, therefore, will be one
hundred and eight years of age the 16th
of next month. He has not the appear
ance of a man oimore than eighty, and
even last fall he sowed nearly, all ihe
grain on his farm. He is in the enjoy
ment of most excellent health and snirits
and at the age of one hundred he says
tie naa not a gray hair in his head.
He served as a privateersman during
the Revolution, and relates manv inter
esting facts connected with the struggle
for American Iiidenendpnre - Mav he
long continue to enjoy the blessings of

A GOOD RETORT.
A humorous young man-was driving
a horse which was in the habit of stop
ping at every house on the road side.
Passing a country tavern, where were
collected some - dozen- countrymen the
beast, as usual, ran opposite the door
and then stopped in spite of the young
man, who applied the whip.with all his
might to drive the horse ,onv ;
y The men in the porch commenced a
lieartv laugh, and .some inquired if he

- DR. JOHNSTON.
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London
grsduatefromoneof the most eminent Colleges of
the United States, and the greater part oi whose
life haa been spent In the Hospitals ol London, Tar

of the most astonishing cures that were ever known.

when asleep, great nervuusnsas, being alarmed si
sudden sounds, and bashfuiness, with frequent
Dtusning,aiiendcd sometimes with derangement of
mind, were cured immediately.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and Imprudent votary of
pleasure finds he hss Imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease, It too often happens t Ii ; onill-tim-ed
sense of shame, ordresd ot discovery, deters
him from applying to those who, Irom education
and respectability, can alone befriend him, del y
ing till the conrr utional sysmptoms of this horria
disease make their appearance, auch as ulcerated
sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the
head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes
on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the head,
face and extremitiea, progress on with frightful ra
pidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the
bones of the nose tall in. and the victim of this
awful diaense becomes a horrid object of commis
sera tion, till death puts s period lo his dreadful suf
ferings, by sending him lo "that bourne from
whence no traveller returns.1' To such therelo-e,
Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
inviolable secreey 1 and, from his extensive prac
tice In the first Hocpitslsln Europe and America,
he can confidently recommend a aufe ond speedy
cure to the unfortunate victim of this horrid dis
ease. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall
victims to this dresdful disease, owing 10 1 lie un
skilfulnres ot ignorsnt pretenders, who, by the use
of thst deadly poison, mercury, Tuln the constitu
tion, snd either send the unfortunate suflerer to nn
untimely grave, or else make the residue of life ti.L
erable. . - -
