Correspondence Of The Smyrna Times.

LEIPsIc, Sept. 81, 1856.
Mr.. EDITOR The third Maine LAW ease
here' came off to-day, some of the particular,
OF which | will furnish you. As Officer Tar-
per was going INTO the forest, west of Leipsc
on a collecting tour, IN the ncirbhorbood n
John Moore's store, at Shawn's x Roads. he
met Mr.. James Ford, who informed him th,,,
there was drunken man in the vlcInitv Tbo
officer immediately summoned Mr.. J. to ms.
slst IN arrcstlng him, but he refused and
ulu not 90 II. The man, however, was arrest
ed and brought before Esquire Reed. in Lein-
SIC who acted promptly in the premises. Upop
inquiry, 1t was asccrtained that the rarty ar.
ralgned was named Patrick Mcbride. a real
genuine natlvc-or the "ould countre,"-as
his name indicates. Officer Harpgr was sworn
that when he found the defendant, he was Jne,.
ly intoxicated, i. e., "glorIously drunk."-,o
use the defendants own language Upon the
evidence thus obtained ard the defanLant's o,.n
condition and Confession, he was fined SI0 and
costs, and IN default Of payment committed 10
the county JAIL At this iuncture Of th.. pro-
ceedngs, Mir. Moore, who sold him the lguor
by which he became intoxicated, came INTO ,bp
Office, and at on,e recognized the defendant as
one OF his customers. Pat plead hard for some
one to 20 his security for the fine imposed, but
without avail. Mr. NJ. turned deaf ear 70 his
and saw the officer take hin, off 10
pr'son--the victim of his own making. Such
is life ! More anon.

la another column, we give the list of premi.
umS and the committees to judge the merits OF
the different objects exhibited That these ex.
hlbltions are beneficial to the farming interest
there can be no doubt, ms there is concentrated
from every part CT the county the best OF ieyery-
thing worthy Of ofexhlbiting. These productions
are generally the result of superior tact and
skill IN the mode Of raising the same. Every
farmer is an experimenter. and he whose expe-
flments result in the best practical method of
raising stock, grain, roots, &c, is an advantage
to the community, by finding for them better
and more successful way to increase their
effects. The improvements In the science of
agriculture within the last twenty years, have
been astounding Notwithstanding there seems
TO DO 40 approximation 10 perfection in many
things, very great developments may vet be
made; 1t remains mostly, if not altogether, to
be done by agricultural exhibitions. The &C.

OF industry and enterprise gets abroad--the

We hope and expect to see fine display from

IHE CONsTITUTIoNALIrY OF THE MAINE Law
| We are informed, saws the Delaware S...o
ReP0rter' that the constitutionaliGy of the Maine
Law IN this State will be contested at the en-
SUNG term OF the Superior Court, which will
sit next nlogsn. The point to be decided. if we
nave rightly understood the matter, is the lep-
'siatVe right to suppress the license system for
the sale OF sprituous liquors by the proprietors
OF hotels Several of these in Sussex cornty
have continued to sell since the expiration Of
licenses, at the April term of the Court last
spring. They have retained eminent counsel
and are prepared to test the constitutionolitv
oi The law which deprives them of this privi-
ege, should it be attempted.
ThE DEFEAT IN MAINE-tFe see il stated IN
several "l The Maine papers, that, though the
temperance men were defeated IA the late elec.
'loh' II Is not expected that the Law Will b,.
repealed. 1t Is said to be the object of the
Legislature elect, only to knock off some oftbe
rough corners OF the Law. On of the papers
IN regard to the election SAYS: The rcnor,
comes from various quarters that money in
iafSe amounts, was sent to Maine, to helm the
Liquor sellers to carry the State We know
OF some wfo were offered considerable amounts
