RHoDE-IsLAND Us MAssACHUsErTs.-Th
case before the U. s. Supreme Court be-
tween this State and Massachusetts, respect
ing the true boundary line occupied the Court
for several days last week. A Amoton having
been made by the delis to dismiss the bill, by
reason of want of Jurisdiction, the question
was argued by the Counsel on both sides, but
had not been decided at the last dates. The
facts Of the case in question (says the Boston
Atlas are briefly these:
BY the charter of Massachusetts, Bay, the
Southern boundary Of that Colony was fixed
at line running East and West through the
head Of Charles river. A century ago or up
ward, Commissioners were appointed to run
the line, and they fixed upon the head of
Charles River and run the line accordingly.
Rhode Island complained at the time, that
the Commissioners did not fix upon the true
head of the river, but that another head far
ther north, was the true head; and she now
seeks to set aside the old boundary and to
establish new one, which would give her n
little strip of territory with about five thou
sand inhabitants.

STORM AT NEW ORLEANS.

During thunder squal at New Orleans
on the 18th inst. the ship Tarquin, which
had cleared for Liverpool, with cargo of
1870 bales of cotton, was struck by the elcc-
trio fuid, and had her mainmast shivered.-
The lightning descending perpendcularly,
penetrated the hold, where it is feared that
fire had been communicated to the bales of
cotton. She had been towcd back to the
Lcvec, and her cargo was discharging.
The brig Nestor of Newburyport, the ship
Olympia, and the barque Lcontne were all
more or less injured by the effects OF the

BALTIMORE COUNTY CoURT.-We give
below an important decision made by the
Judges Of Baltimore County Court, in re-
gard to the competency of a witness, during
the progress Of the case of Woodward, Us.
Robertson, which was decided yesterday.
During the progress of the trial, an indi-
vlduai was called as a witness for the Plain
tiff, and when the usual oath was rendered
10 him by the Clerk, he refused to take it,
stating at the time, that he was conscien-
tlous against swearing upon the bible. He
was then asked whether he believed in the
Christian Religion, and he refused 10 an
swer that quesIion-stating however, that
he believed in the existence Of a Supreme
Being-he afterwards stated that he was
willing TO swear with upliited hand, in the
manner that the Covenanters are usually
sworn. Upon being asked whether he be-
lieved in a state of future rewards and pun
ishments, he stated that he believed that a
man would be punished for his misdeeds in
this world or hereafter. Being further ask
ed whether be believed that ia man was
punished in this world for his misdeeds he
would also be punished in the world to come,
he said it was hard TO say what would be
done with a man after he had left this world.
He was then asked by the Court whether
he believed that there would be hereafter a
final judgment day, when all men would be
punished for the misGeeds committed in this
world TO which he replied, that he thought
that twas highly probable that there would
be such a day-whereupon the Court direc-
ted himto stand aside and refused to permit
him to be sworn.-BaH Patriot

Alcohol v. Crops and Crotcs v. Alcohol
Col. b. has one Of the best farms on the Iii
nois river. About one hundred acres of il
are now covered with waving corn. When
il first came up in the spring, the crows
seemed determined on its entire destruction
When one was killed it seemed as though
a dozen came to its funeral. And though
the sharp crack Of the rifle drovethem away,
they always returned with its echo.
The Colonel at length became weary Of
throwing grass, and resolved on trying the
virtue of stones. He sent to the druggist for
a gallon OF alcohol. in which he soaked a
few quarts of corn and scattered it over his
field, The black legs came and partook
with their usual relish and such a cooling
and cackling,-such slrutting and stagger-
ing The scene was like-but | will make
no invldious comparison-yet it was very
much like
When the boys attempted to catch them,
they were not a little amused at their stag
gering gait, and their zigzag course through
the air. Al length they gained the edge oil
the woods, and there being joined by a new
recruit, which. happened TO be sober, they
united at the top of their voices in haw haw
having, shouting either the praises or the
curses of alcohol. II was difficult to tell
which. as they ratified away without rhyme
or reason, so very much like
But the Colonel saved his corn. As soon
as they became sober, they set their faces
steadfastly against alcohol. Not another
kernel would they touch in his field. lest il
should contain the accursed thing. while
they went and pulled up the corn Of his
neighbors. To return like a dog to his vo-
mit-like a washed sow to the mirs-like-
not they. They have too much respect for
their character-b)ack as they ars-again

GEN. HARRIsoN.-The following is an
extract from Gen. Harrison's late speech at
Massillon, Ohio.
The exalted opinion which he had ofthe
two statesmen to whom he alluded. (Mr.
Clay and MIR. Webstsr) was well known.
One oil them (Mr. Clay he had ever sup
ported with the most zeal whenever an OPP
portunity offered. His claims TO rank a.
deny, and he took a great pleasure in sta
ting, that after having enjoyed las he be-
lieved) his unlimited confidence for years.
in power, and out OF power, he had no idea
that Greece or Rome ever possessed a purcr
patrio.- His distinguished rival in forensic
atiain,nenls was every way his equal, and he
should possess the sympathy OF every hon
est man, Tor the unjust prejudices which are
entertained against him.
Daniel Webster was never otherwise
than a petrio.. All his thoughts, all his
wishes, all his aspirations have been for the
honor and glory Of his country. How I'M
just then to attach 10 him sentiments he new
er OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES which bis soul
would have abhored He had not time TO
go into particulars, but he appealed 10 the
known generosity of western bosoms, TO lay
aside their unfounded prejudices against a
man TO whose enlarged and disinleresIed
course they have been so much indebted.
He spoke of the banks of the senselcss
cry against them, 10 make the rich, richer.
and the poor, poorer. They were the means
of opening facilities TO the poor man TO be-
come rich.
BY increasing The capabilities Of men of
wealth 10 embark in enterprises useful TO the.
country-in schemes of internal improve,
ment, in manufacturing. in building. SC.
the labouring. the Industrious part of the.
community, are vastly benefited, by thus
having the means Of accommodating fortunes
for themselves, scattered abroad among them.
He had no interest in any bank-never dad
but once. and then lost all his stock. But
he was a bank man, and in favor OF the credit
system. and he was so because he was a
democrat. he had been in a country (Col-
umbia) where they had no credit system
where they had purely a metallic currency.
That country was called a republic but
little evidence of a free republic was to be
seen. No works Of internal improvement
no manufacturing establishments, nothing
that indicated among the people industry.
prosperity or happiness. In that country
were the rich living in their splendid pal
aces, and the poor were poor indeed. So
you will find il in all Of the despotisms Of
the old world-so you will find il wherever
the credi' system is abolished or unknown
