EFFECT OF THE MAINE LAw.-Two
trials have been had under the new IL
quor law of Rhode Island, in Providence.
In the first, the Witnesses would not
swear to any act of sale, and the Court
discharged the defendant, who, it is said,
is about to commence legal proceedings
in the United States Circuit Curt, to
test the validity of the proceedings
against him. The second case was
complaint against Ellen Cummings, which
was fully proved, and she was adjudged
guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of
$40 and costs, in default of which she
was committed. The Providence Jour-
uaI gives the following statements as
showing the operation of the law: Com
mitments to the watch house for drunk
enness and other causes connected there
with, during the week ending Sunday,
July 4th, 80; week ending July llth,

trickled down his cheeks, and he said
with emphasis Daughter, 6sliere the
doctrines that yOur mother has taught
you." This scene, The Daughters
Appeal" was the subject of his second
great Painting-it was sold to the Art
Union, and drawn by j. j. Barber. of
Homer, N. Y. His third great paint
ing was Nathan Hale, just before his
execution" This was sold to the
American Art Union, and drawn by a
western man. His fourth great paint
ing, was Capt. John Smith and Poca-
hontas." All will rccollect the scene
this was sold to the Art Union.
Among his other productions are
Judith in the tent of Holofernes,'
"Horse Trade" and "Sam Slick"
He is at present engaged upon sew
eral pieces of stirring incident, in oul
own revolutionary history.
In conclusion we may safely say, that
if he continues his hard study and close
application, there is no danger that the
American School of Painting will lose
aught in his hands.

periodicals of all kinds, giving news from
all parts of the world, and literature OF
the most recherche kind. To our lady

B1- BY the burning of the steamer
Henry Clay on the Hudson river last
week there were probably some seventy
five Or eighty lives lost. There is GER
tainly great culpability some where.
Most of the papers, we notice are in
clined to throw the burthen of it on the
officers, for racing. That certainly is a
reprchensible practice {; butt appears tc
us that the proprietors of steamers might
very properly come in for a share of the
blame. There can be little doubt thai
had the Henry Clay been built in
proper manner this terrible casualty
might have been avoided. Five hun
dred dollars would probably have made
her fre-room fire-proof, and there shoult

16 Billiards. Panorama of New
York city, now on exhibition in the Hall
of Pawcatuck Hotel, is certainly the
best and most life-like work of art of
that kind that we have ever had the
pleasure of seeing. Its execution is
peculiarly excellent = every building
being presented with an astonishing
truthfulness, from the most elaborate
ornaments to the most minute defects
the signs, the window-shades,the throngs
Of men, horses, and vehicles; and so
true to life are some of the individuals
there represented that we readily recog-
nized them the moment our eye rested
on them. One who has not seen New
York city, may here behold it without
the inconvenience attendant on avisit
to the city, and to those who have visited
the place it is well worth a visit as a
splendid work of art. 1t being painted
in fresco, it appears equally well in the
day time as in the evening. The Pan
Drama will be exhibited this afternoon
and evening in this place, after which
it will be removed. We can assure
those who visit it that they will not re-
gret it. We give in another part of our
paper likeness of Mr. Bullard, and a
sketch of his life, affording an illustra-
ton of the fact that perseverance will
accomplish almost tSnything.

GRoToN, N. Y, July %, 1862.

GRoToN, n. Y, July 2o, 1907.
DEAR Echo 1T is an old adage that
"murder will OUT" and there are many
casesupon record whichwould 60 to prove
the truth of the assertion. However
carefully the traces of crime are con-
cealed, however tardy the retribution
may seem, it is generally the case that
justice will have its course, and the Grim
inal his punishment. 1 have been led
to this train of thought by an affair which
has created considerable excitement in
this vicinity, and which happened few
days since. A man was fishing in
Cayuga lake, where the water was some
two hundred feet deep, when his line
caught upon something, and upon draw
ing it up within sight, it proved to be
box about five feet long and three in
width. When the box had nearly
reached the surface of the water, the line
broke, and it again sank. What con-
meets this occurrence with mystery is
the fact that man lived upon the shore
of the lake in that vicinity some seven
years since, whose wife and child sud-
denly disappeared, and nothing could be
found by which to trace their where
abouts. He was arrested for murder,
but as no positive evidence could be
found to convict him of that crime, he
was imprisoned for abduction, and has
served seven out of the ten years for
which he was incarcerated. Upon the
trial a man testified to having helped
him load box of the above description
1t is supposed that this is the one, and
that it contains the bodies of his wife
and child. There is reward Of four
hundred and fifty dollars offered for the
box and two hundred and fifty in addition
if it contains the bodies. 1t is to be
hoped that the mystery which envelopes
this affair will soon be broug ght to light,
and the offender receive the punishment
due the enormity of the crime.
Groton is small, but pretty village
situated in the northeast part of Tomp.
kins county. Its principal business is
carriage building, in which from fifty
to seventy-fve hands are constantly EN-
ppyed. The taste of the inhabitants i
well displayed in the neatness of tn
!; buildings, and the repair in which the
are kept, which makes the village appea
very well, though the localition is no
calculated to give good effect.

Occasional Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, July 26, 1852.

WARRINGTON, July 20, 1852.
TO the Editors Of the Literary Echo -
Having in my last intimated that I
should give you, at my leisure, some
sketch Of real life here, I find myself,
after the fatigue and usual routine Of the
day, seated in my room surrounded by
all the paraphanalia of an Office, to col
lect my almost dissipated thoughts for
the benefit of your readers. To define
our society would be to give an analysis
of the fashions of every court and coun-
try for their residents are here, from
the untutored savage to the stern NOUS
tached count. AS cool weather shows
something's in their best light, let me in
troduce you into Washington on winter
morning. A gentle wind from the north
moves the air not uncomfortably cold,
but sufficiently so to bring into requisi,-
ton mittens and overcoat to a very COM
Portable advantage. The sun is lust
rising, and as it gilds the surrounding
hills, and is reflected by the smooth
surface Of the Potomac, presenting a
scene comparing well with the red and
blanj sky which now looks beautifully
tinged with inimitablc colors, and then
fades to its native blueness. The lover
Of the beautiful here, as in other climes,
finds what nature teaches him instinct
lively to admire. To stranger stand
ing on slightly eminence, the gathering
from all quarters is a source of great
curiosity. Every road and by way is
dotted with vehicles, on which fancy and
rustic genius seems to have exhausted
themselves. Hurried on by an inquisi-
tive desire from the Capitol up the
Avenue, he arrives at the rendezvous
about half way to the White House en-
the left side. The mystery is explained.
1t is market day, and the whole city ap-
pears centering to the public mart where
everything, whether fish, flesh or bone,
that can cater to the appetite of citizen
or stranger, is exposed for sale. Some
with their baskets, but the most part
not knowing wherefore they have come
together"
Countrymen with their products in
rude topped wagons, sportsmen with
their game, residents at their stands-all
are eager to dispose Of their commodi-
ties. Here are few beans, there
heap Of potatoes, here a sack Of grain
with the products of the diary, there a
bag of hominy with some domestic stock
ings, here a little dried fruit, there
collection of all kinds of fish, here can
vass back ducks, geese and turkeys,
wild and tame, prairie hens, in short
everything eatable of the feathered tribe,
these various kinds Of meats, but no well
fattencd pork-there the fancies of the
tinmen from the brass kettle to the rattle
box, there all the essential of q lady's
wardrobe from a tape pin to thousand
dollar shawl. Amidst and around this
mass of all nations you are crowded and
jostled until all wants, real or imaginary,
are supplied. The crowd disperses, the
market closes and all is quiet again
1t is eleven o'clock, but more anon.
Yours, &c., L.
