THE MAINE Law DEc,sioss.-The
Supreme Judicial Court OF the State
of Maine, few weeks slice, rendered
the following decisions in regard to the
bearing Of this law upon liquors in
transitu, and the right Of property in
the same. II was delivered by Chief
Justice Shipley. We copy the decision
from the Bah Times - .r ..
There is nothing in the act indica-
tive oi an intention Of preventing intoxi-
eating liquor being property, when pos
sessed by a person for his own Use,
without any intention to sell.
The act cannot prerent the transport
Of liquors from one town or city to
another, or through the State, when
there is no intention to make sale Of the
same. .......
The declared design OF the law was
the suppression Of drinking houses and
tipping shops and the law should re-
ceive a construction compatible with it's
design. The general language OF the
act must be restricted so as TO accom-
plish the general intent and dec Jared
purpose thereof or the provision in re!a-
ton to the holding Of property must
he pronounced TO be plain violation Of
the provisions of the constitution. No
positive enactmen is found in the law,
that no persons can acquire property in
intoxicating liquors.
II would be absurdity to declare an
article Of commerce not property, and
by the same law, that empower agents
to sell the article as the property Of
cities and towns. The constitution
secures to the people Of this State the
right Of acquiring property and protect
ing il but the Legislature may deter
mine that articles injurious to the public
health and morals, shall not constitute
property within its jurisdiction, when
used for the purpose Of injuring the
puLlic health and morals, and there
would be no occasions for complain,
that provision of The constitution wa.
void. .....
In his concluding paragraph, Judge
Shepley offers US either horn OF u dilema,
as follows -
1t may be that Court Of Justice is
not authorized TO introduce, by construc-
ton, such limitations--that it savors
more OF Legislation than Of const ruciion
1t may be so. And if the Court may
not Introduce any such limitations, with
out cncroaching upon the forbidden
province ofanother department of the
government, il cannot omit its duty to
declare that provision, (that in relation
to property in liquor.) in violation of the
Consfitution and void

ARRIVAL or SWEDISH EMldRANrs.-
EMiGEANT SHlPs.-The schooner Ellen
Perkins, JosEPu B. BLlrHENs. master,
from Gottcnburg. Sweden, arrived at
this port on Monday last, with l02 Swe-
dish emigrants. She left the above
port The 26th of June, and has, there
fore been nearly three months on her
passage. Hearing various reports res
pecting her, we were induced TO exam
inc her, and Tor that purpose went on
board. The vessel is a small, ill.look-
ing craft, Of only l30 tons buriheD, utter
ly unfit to convey a small, much less
large number of passengers so long a
voyage across the Atlantic and as a
matter of course, great deal of suffer-
ing was endured. Eight children and
one OF the crew died OH the passage,
and the wonder is that so many lived in
such a pestilential atmosphere for so
long period. We learned that the
vessel and the cmigrants also were poor
ly provlsioned, and the crew were put
on allowance in few weeks alter they
left port After the emigrants had con
sumed all their provisions they were
supplied from the vessels provisions
and on reaehing this place, most OF them
were destitute OF means OF support.
On nleir arrival, they could find no
one who understood their language here
yet our citizens on learning their desti-
tuition supplied them with food. The
next day, Swedish gentleman by the
name Of WiLLrNGsToN, living in BoS, n,
learning their arrival, came to assist
them, learned their privatons and as
certained their wants, aud remained
here several days. ministering TO their
wants and assisting the more needy in
getting aid and employment. The poor
strangers were overjoyed when the gen.
tleman made known TO them that he was
one OF their countrymen. lie remained
with them until Thursday afternoon,
when he was necessitated to return to
Boston. Previous TO leaving he called
upon Us, and expressed his thanks TO
the people OF Fall River for the kind
ness and attention bestowed upon them,
in supplying their wants and assisting
them to obtain employment.
The emigranis appear TO be an indus
trious class, and shipped iol Boston with
the intention to 30 West. Many OF those
others intend leaving. Most Of those
who remain, have found employment
and will no doubt be found useful and
industrious citizens.
We understand that the Superinten-
dent Of the Railroad kindly rendered the
use Of the Depot for their accommoda-
ton nights, and they gladly accepted
the offer.
Notwithstanding the reports to the
contrary, we are informed that the ves-
sci did not bring as many passengers as
the law allows, and that the accommo-
dalions, certainly not very tempting
were good compared to the majority of
emigrant crafts. Ii so, we think il high
time the whole system was reiormed.-

ed, IN order to swell tho gains Of ship

DECISION IN THE providence LiaUoR
CAsE.-The case Of w. ii. Greene was
decided, Monday in the Court OF Magic
trates, and the liquor 10 the amount Of
some $4,000 was declared forfeited, and
ordered 10 be destroyed by the City
Marshal, who proceeded TO execute the
decision OF the Court but was stayed by
writ of replevin, issued by the Circuit
Court OF the United States for this dis
trlct, at the instance of Mr.. Greene, by
the U. S, Marshal.
This case has been some time be-
fore the Court, and involved a greater
amount Of the contraband article. than
has been heretofore seized under the
Maine Liquor law in New England
The liquor was said TO belong TO "A Mr.
Holbrook, and as the property Of Mr..
Holbrook was condemned but it is now
claimed by Mr.. VIM. ii. Greene, who
is at present q resident Of New York
city.

able among the citizens Monday; but
the transfer Of The liquor was made
without any manifestation TO create a
disturbance. A parties seemed leased
with the idea OF having the liquor ques-
ton come before the United States

rIed up the result will be looked Tor with

A SNAKE SToaY-BuT TRuE.-O One
of our most respectable citizens, rcsd-
ing within the corporate limits Of the
city, has related 10 us that two years
ago small green snake was discover
ed on his grape arbor by some member
Of the family. 1t was not disturbed or
molested in any way. Little Shady
seemed TO understand and appreciate
this exemption from the curse pronouuc-
ed against the surpent tribe, and has
ever since continued its habilation in
the arbor. During the time II has
grown quite n respectable length, and
become perfectly domesticated, and
recognizes at once any member Of the
family allows itself to be caressed /;
and in gathering grapes has not un-
frequently to be pushed out Of the way.
But let stranger approach it, and at
once it maDiiests its displeasure, and
will allow no familiarity. This is every
word true On inquIring the probable
cause Of its attachment TO the grape
arbo., and It's domestcation--or rather
clviIization--the idea was suggested
that possibly the juice OF, the grape, and
fine shade afforded by the vines, IN
nuenced the selection by his snakeship,
and that the former had no doubt
brought the amclioraiing and humaniz
ing habits he had contracted. Our wor-
thy informant is uncompromisingly
down upon the ardent" and thinks
its constant use rs n drink is altogether
brutalising, bringing its votarics upon
level with the crawling reptiles OF the
earth. On the other hand, he is inclin-
ed to believe that the Juice OF the grape
--concoctcd ms il is INTO variors whole
some and pleasant wines--has a ten
dency TO elevate humanize, c,hcrializc.
He cited the temperate habits of the
people Of wine producing countries, and
their high appreciation of the beauties
of nature and love of rural pursuits, rs
proof OF the fact We may, therefore,
deduce from this argcment, that such
influences operating upon the snake in
question, have brought II TO It's present
civilized state aud kindly disposllion.--

The ToMATo.-To many persons
there is something unpleasant, not to
say disgusting, in the flavor Of this ex-
cellent fruit. 1t has, however, long
been used for culinary purposes in va
rious countries Of Europe, and has of
late years hcen extensively cultivated.
and become a general favorite in this
country. DR.. Bennett, a professor of
some celebrity, considers il an invalua-
BILE article of diet, and ascribes to il very
important medicinal properties.
|. That the Tomato is one of the most
powerful deobstruents Of the Materid
Medicd, and that in all those affections
of the liver and other organs where cal
omel is indicated, il is probably the
most effective and least harmful reme-
dial agent known in the profession.
q. That chemical extract will be
obta ined from it, which will altogether
supersede the use Of calomel in the cure
of diseases.
3. That he has successfully treated
serious diarrhea with this article
alone.
4. That when used as an article Of
diet, it is almost sovereign remedy for
dyspepsia or indigestion.
5. That persons removing from the
east or north to the south or west should
by all means make use of it as an ali
ment, as il would, in that event, save
them the danger attendant upon those
violent bilious attacks 10 which al
most all unacclimatcd persons are liza
BILE.
6. That the citizens in ordinary should
make use Of it, either raw, cooked, or
in the form Of catsup, with their daily
food, rs il is the most healthy article in
the Mdteria Aiimentdria.
Professor Rasfinesquc, ofFrance, says:
1t is every where deemed a very
healing vegetable, and an invaluable
article oi'lood."
Dungcson says:-'It may be looked
upon as one ol the most wholesome and
valuable escuients that belong to the
vegetable kingdom"
Professor Dickens asserts that ii may
be considered more wholesome than any
other arid sauce
A writer in the Farmers Register
says 1t has been r cd by several
persons, with decided success. They
we're afflicted with n chronic cough, the
primary cause of which, in one case,
was supposed to be diseased liver-in
another, uise ,sed lungs. 1t mitigates,
and sometimes efieclually checks, fit
OF coughing. ........
The method most commonly adopted
in preparing This lrult for daily use, is
to cot them into slices, and serve with
salt, pepper, and vinegar, as you do Gu
cumbcrs.
To stew them /; remove them ripe
from the vines, slice up, and put them
in pot over the stove or fire, without
water. Stew them slowly, and, when
done, put in small piece Of butter, and
ca; them as you do apple sauce. Some
add little -four bread, finely crumbed,
or couple of crackers pulverized.
The Tomato is a fruit very easily
raised. Ii the seed be sown in May, in
good rich soil, of warm nature, with
"A sulliciency Of old well rotted manure,
there will rarely be any danger Of fail
ure. When the vines begin to lean,
they should be provided with trellIs, or
tied to stakes fixed in the soil, to keep
the fruit from being injured in coming
in contact with the dirt.
