will OF her parents. She was taken from
her husband as the two were proceed

band At once took legal proceedings
against the relatives oi the girl, and in
former trinl the jury disagreed. AT the
present term OF the Ontario county
court he brought another action for
damages in the detention OF his wife
and The loss Of her services. The case
was managed by high legal talen, on
both sides, and created very general in
terest whero the facts and the parties
we're known. The jury rendered a YER

Novel LlauoR CAsE.-We learn from
the Salem Observer that new case un-
der the liquor law will come before the
Supreme Court iD March. Justice
Choate Of Essex recently issued several
search warrants against Josiah Herrick
Of Gloucester, which resulted in the
seizure OF some liquors. Herrick was
summoned to appear at The hearings
but did no, obey the summons and in
one case the Justice, having ordered the
liquor TO be destroyed, made a further
order that the defendant should pay a
fine ot $20-at the same time issuing
preceps commanding the officers TO com.
nit him to jail in default Of payment,
as is usual when parties are in court.
Herrick was accordingly arrested by a
constable, brought TO Salem, and com.
milted to jail. A haJeas corpus was
Immediately applied for before Judge
9igelow, which beng granted, Herrick
was taken to Boston and Admitted to
bail for his appearance before the whole
Court in March.

Tue MAINE LianoR Law Bill has
nearly gone through the ..Senars, and
beyond all question, twill pass the
House in due season. II isprstty GER

Auguat next--if the Governor approves
it without being submitted to the peo

! that action now, we presume will come
after but very lew words.
The provisions OF the Maine Law Will
! have TO stand severer tes, in ihis Statey
than Il has sisod IN any OF the New
England States-ior New York is moro
OF q commercial State than any Of thes,
other States, and its interests and trade
are more intimately blended with all
the other States oil the Union. than are
those of any other State. New York
State not only has vast pecuninry inte-'
rest at stake at home, such as been be-
fore stated-an interest Of even mil
lion OF dollars in hop raising. we see, in
one county alone, that Of Otsego, as
stated by Cazenovia correspondent

York is the distributing poinrof doInsI'

merchant should find n complete assort-
ment here, not only dry goods, but ali
species OF groceries, lest he may resort
to other more complete and rival mar
kets hut this bill in principle, if sue
cesslui in It's efforts, dsturbs or destroys
such trade and thus arrays against IL
almost every local interest Of our COM
mun,y. lie .ce, we say, New York in
the enactment oil this law, IN; kes far
greater sacrifice than any sther State OF
the Union 10 called upon 70 make. New
York, too, has os,.poris on the river St.
Lawrence, on Lake Ontario, aud Lake
Erie,-important out ports; such as o.
wego aud Buffalo, and their commerce
reaches foreign country, as well as
our own other States,-so that the con.
fIct of interests and Of principles is to he
tested with severity here, that they
have not felt el. ewhere.
We bow to the majesty of the Law
with submission and difference. We
know no other duty than loyalty and
obedience to Law,-bu, we have no
idea that the Law can be executed in
tins CITY, or even in many parts OF the
State. The existing temperance Laws,
although very snlutary in their enact.
ments, are most ofthem mere 6rufum

Laws cannot reform society. Men must
