Grocer's Bank, Boston.

The Grecer's Bank, Boston, has been en-
joined, and will be put into liquidation. About
fortnight ago, rumor of the unsoundness OF

so far as to cause ''run" upon the bank for
specie, This run was promptly met, and had
been almost checked, when Mr.. kilburn, one
of the Directors, suddenly disappeared, and
was reported to have committed suicide. The
The panic hereupon broke out afresh, and the
demand for redemption of the bills became
so extensive that the assistance of the other
banks was asked for. This call was answered
BY meeting of the banks on the 2iih, when
committee of FIVE was chosen TO furnish all the
aid then asked for, $1,000 This was
promptly furnished on Monday, the 35th, at
which time the condition of the Grocers', as
reported to the Secretary Of State, was as fol-

two since, at the shop Of Mr.. CHARLES A. L..
SAMPSON, Broad street, full length figure
head, cut by himself, designed for the new
ship, building BY Messrs. Lemont & Co., in
this city. 1t is an exact likeness of Mr.. AD-
AM LEMoNT, whose name the ship will bear.
This figure is not only an admirable likeness,
but the drapery, and in fact, every part of it
Is finished in the most artistic style; and as
whole, is one of the finest specimens of Carv-
ing we have ever seen. We most cordially
commend this young artist TO the public, as
one who needs only 10 be judged by his works.

SEIZURE OF CANADIAN VESSELS.
difference has occurred along our Canadian
frontier relative to the construction put upon
the reciprocity treaty, and six vessels have,
within as many weeks, been seized by the
American authorities for violations of our nav
igation laws, in loading with American goods,
at American ports, and attempting to deliver
said goods at other American ports, after a
mere formal stoppage at British port, to give
Il color of nationality 10 the cargo, by showing
at the American port of delivery formal pa
pers as for a cargo shipped at a British port.
AS this, if allowed, would open the whole of
our valuable lake trade to British competition,
it was arrested by orders from Washington.

WITNESSES IN NORTH CAkoLINA.-Recently IN
trial at jackson, N. c., the Superior Court
Judge Manly. held that person protesting the
doctrines of Unisersalism was an in incompe-
tent witness, and in accordance with that deci-
sion ruled out two or three witnesses. The de-
cision gave rise 10 some Indignation among
those who profess the doctrines Of the Univer-
salist Church, and from the proceedings OF a
late State convention of the denomination we
find the following preamble and resolution,
which were adopted
Whereas, We have learned with surprise
and regret, through the public press. that Ills
Honor Judge Manly at the Court Of ackson, N.
c. decided that Universalists are not competent
Witnesses in a Court of Justice and whereas
we believe such decision is not only ta-
grant outrage upon the increasing and respec-
table denomination of Christians called Unlver-

forthwith TO take snch measures as they may
deem expedient in this our boasted land OF civil

Removal of Gov. Reedcr.

I, is telegraphed from Washington. says the Courant, that Gov. Ree,ler has been re- moved from his office as Governor of The territory of Kansas, and John l.. Dawson of Pennsylvania, appointed in his room. The reason assigned for the removal of Gov. Reeder is his speculations in the lands of the territory. Mir. Dawson was an effective member of,he last Congress, and voted for the Nebraska Kansas bill. Heis also known as an advocate of the policy of giving home steads to actual settlers, and introduced a bill for that purpose. which passed the House of Representatives, but failed to oh tain the sanction ofih Senate. This Daw. son was a candidate for reelection 10 Con- gress last October, and was defeated by an Anti-Nebraska man. He is rro-slayerv man of the very worst possible stamp, an interruptions agent of the Slave Power in every thing. The President has thus anti cipatsd the request Of the band of rnfSans styled the Kansas Legislature, and has off;- cialiy declared himself an upholder of their acts. This act only precipitates the issue between Slavery and Freedom, which is now inevitable, and for which lei us ali im- mediaiely PHpafe.

The year is about expiring during which the sale of alcoholic liquors in Connecticut Has been prohibited. What honest man, who has no personal interest to subserve, will deny that the good effects of Prohibition have vastly outweighed it's evils? The Norwich Examiner, in an article treating of the question throughout the State, thus sums up:
 The recent city elections in Norwich. Hartford and New Haven have been un- favorable to the enforcement of the law In this city the gas issue, and in Hartford and New Haven determined effort to de- feat the know-N Nothings, overrode the tenn perance question and gave the controlling power to the opposition. The bad effects of these changes of administration bepin already to be seen and felt in the removal of tried and faithful watchmen, in a relax tion of the law, and, in, the increased bold ness of these who drink and sell So much for the bad side ot the picture. a 2 lss
 On the other side,. .we do not learn of any tavefn or hotefin the State where any, thing like an open bar is kept; nor of any saloon, store, shop, shanty, or other place, where liquor Is sold in an exposed and pub- lie manner. We do.not think there is spot in the. State where any man, however wealthy or Influential. woald dare to sell, openly and freely, in defiance of the law.-- We have habitaally published all> cases of the enforcement of the law which we could glean from our exchanges. or from other sources; hut outsof the cities these cases have been very few, and for the reason that in the country portions of the State the law has been from the first, and is now, generally and quietly complied with. We have made personal inquiries in, respect to various towns which formerly. suffered from the traffic, and the reply has almost uniformly been, "We have no facts to report; we have no prosecutions, and no known violations of the law" It is wonderful to see the change in public sentiment which prohibition. has wrought in less than a single year. The lproposal. to go back to the license system and to allow open grog shops in our towns and villages as they prevailed a year ago, would strike the public mind as preposterous and abhorrent. ~ #s74t7af''t 17f

The Buffalo and Detroit papers declare that convention of dealers in breadstuffs both from the West aud from New York was held at Buffalo about the first of July, to make arrangements to keep up the price of four and corn. The members of this convention were said to embrace three- fourtlls of all the holders of breadstuifs now in store at the West. Their operations can be seen in the slight rise of -four. The curse of the poor will be upon them, and the canker of every dollar they thus earn will cat into their souls! #

 He never deals in or dsinks intoxicating liquors never gives dollar for a charitable purpose where he thinks his name will ap- pear in the newspapers, although he has siistributsd thousands to relieve the dis dresses of his fellow.men.
