SILVER Doom PLATEs.-We have examined
specimens of Silver Door Plates, manufactured
by Messrs. Whipple & Livermore Of Providence,
by machinery, by an entirely new process, which
enables manufacturers to furnish them, lettered
or numbered, as may be desired, at prices consid-
erably below those at which plated ones have
heretofore been sold. and the workmanship is
more perfect and beautiful than when done by
the old process. An agent is now in the city pre-
pared to supply all orders that he may receive,
and we cannot doubt that many will avail them
selves of the opportunity to supply themselves
with beautiful article at low price.

STUDENTS OF DARTMOUTH CoLLBoB.-A dis.
turbance has taken place among the students
of Dartmouth College. The circumstances
are told as follows:
"Seyeral Sophomores, not having the fear
of the consequences before their eyes, painted
the seats of the Freshmen's recitation ROOM
The Freshmen retaliated by greasing the seats
of the Sophs. The last now broke into a
Freshman's room, and shaved off his hair
slose to his head. They regarded him as
leader in the grease movement, but he was
not. Ofcourse, the mischievous Sophomores
were called up before the college authorities,
and OF the latest account twenty of them were
likely to be expelled. Such scenes were for
merly common at dartmouth, and other col
leges, but for a number of years they have
been rare"

LIQUOR CASES In Boston. - Another at
tempt has been made in the Municipal Court IN
Boston to dispose of some Of the numerous IL
uuor cases which cucumber the docket. On Fri
day morning last, the case of Thomas Lang was
given to the first Jury, who, after consultation
Of nearly twenty-four hours, came into court and
stated that they could not agree upon verdict.
Upon being questioned by the urtwhether they
disagreed upon questions of law or fact, the FORE
man replied, !" On BOTH The case of William
Thomas, which was given to the second Jury on
the same day, resulted the preceding one. In
these two cases, says the Boston Journal, the
testimony was perhaps as strong in point OF fact
as in any case ever brought before the Court, and
in view Of the result of the trials, the District At
torney stated that he wished it to be distinctly
understood that he did not wish to, and should
not, cast the slightest censure upon the action of
the Juries, yet when cases which were strong
upon the facts presented to the Juries, and they
feel it to be their duty to Ego aside from the in
structions of the Court points of law, he could
not see any advantage to be gained BY proceed
ing with other similar cases, as it seemed to be
wasting of the Commonwealth money to pros
ecute such cases under the circumstances. He
therefore proposed to file motion in writing, un-
der the provisions of the thirty-ffth section of
the law, to have all the liquor cases remaining on
the docket continued to the next term of the
Court, for the reason that it appears to be mpos-
sible to obtain verdict either upon questions of
law or fact in the strongest cases which the Gov
eminent is able to present to the Juries.
Objections were made to this course by the
counsel for diferect persons under indictment for
violation of the liquor law, but the Court finally
allowed the motion of the District Attorney, and
ordered all actions under prosecution for violation
of theliquOr Law to be continued until the Octo-
Der term of the Court, when new Juries would be
in attendance, the three months term of those
now serving closing with the present month.
