The defendants set forth in their specifca-
tions of their defence, that according 10 its
fair interpretation, the dream was true, and
was just criticism upon the plaintiff 8 rum
shop.
A large number Of witnesses testified to
the facts in regard to Wilbar's establishment
that he there sold large quantities Of IL
quor-that it was often filled with low,
drunken, noisy, swearing, fighting compa-
ny-that his casks and signs were painted
with the words rum, brandy, gin, &c. sc.
That Incorporate old men and children, af-
ter liquors, were often seen there--that it
was visited on the Sabbath-that one Of
his regular customers had died Of delirium
tremens day or two after leaving the shop
intoxicated-that another, in a fit of deliri-
um tremens, had attempted to murder his
wife and children with an axe, and had af-
terwards been confined in the Worcester In
sane Asylum, where he died, &c. SC. DR..
Jewett1 testified to the effect of excessive
drinking in producing disease, shortening
life, leading to insanity, and instigating mur-
der and other crimes. Rev. Mr.. Curtis,
chaplain of the State Prison, testified to the
evil effects Of intemperance upon the morals
Of society, and the souls oftmen, and gave
the results of his observation as to the vast
amount of misery and crime and pauperism
arising, from this source. The introduc-
tion of all this testimony was stoutly OBJ
jected to by the plaintiffs counsel, but was
ruled by the court to beconmpetent and pro-
per. The cause was contested inch by
inch by the respective counsel for the par
ties. About thirteen witnesses were ex-
amined, and the trial lasted four days. The
court house was filled with interested spec
tators, representing both sides of the tenn
perance questions h
H. B. Stanton, Esq, of Boston, argued
the case on the part of the defendants. His
address occupied five hours in the delivery.
He went through the Dream paragraph by
paragraph, and epithet by epithet, and con-
tended that every word in it, taken according
TO its proper meaning, Uas true. He took
the ground, also, that inasmuch as the plain
tiff was engaged in an illegal vocation, sell
ing liquors without license, and therefore
contrary to law, and as the publication was
made solely in regard to his agency in that
vocation, he could not maintain his action,
however libellous the publication, and from
whatever motives put FORTH. That for men
engaged in business like that pursued by
Wilbar, the law had nothing to give but
punishment. This point was argued to the
court at length In his charge to the Jury,
Judge Habbard fully sustained these vieUs.
The whole charge was very able. T. G.
Coffin, Esq, Of New Bedford, closed the
case for the plaintiff, and during his long
address, made desperate effort in behalf OF
his client. After consulting together about
an hour, the jury found verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. Let rumsellers now understand
that the violated laws have nothing in store
for them but retribution.- Boston Recorder.

To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf Of this paper. The publisher
feeling it matter of importance to the in
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trict, as well as the general interest OF the
cause, and having been, as ne concelves,
Providentially placed in situation at this
time when he can mingle this interest with
that Of the business men, and thereby rem
der double service to the community, and
still further open medium of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and wide, at cheap rate. He
has purchased printing establishment, so
as not only to be able to put daily paper
regularly to press, but also a weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the Office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles w.
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, to
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
Of the tri-weekly must be closed. They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price.
While the aCoLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, instruct,
and benefit its readers. 1t is intended SO to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be las far as it is practicable) gratifed.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not inconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention of the publishers.
Nothing of sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted.
