LIQUOR MATTERs.-Two cases of some impor-
tance in connection with the prohibitory liquor
low, were decided in the Supreme Court at Bos-
ton, Monday. Joel Holden sued John Cosgrove
to recover the value of note given for liquor
The defence was that the liquor was sold in vio-
lation of law, and on this ground the verdict was
for the defendant, and the liquor seller lost his
money. Liquor sellers must do purely cash
business.
John C. Wiley, charged with false mprison-
ment for arresting William F. Kennedy, while
driving load OF liquors through Cambridge, was
acquitted, the court holding the arrest to be
legal.
The Legislature of Rhode Island, at its late
session, passed law directing places where H.
quors are sold or gambling is carried on contrary
to law, or other vicious places, to be proceeded
against as nuisances and unless the nuisance is
abated within five days, makes the owner of the
building responsible criminally. The law pun
ishing drunkenness with Imprisonment for short
time, was repealed. There is now no State law
against drunkenness, but it is punishable by city
ordinance.

RE-GRAFTING OLD TREES The late Geo.
Olmstead Of Hartford, Conn, was very sue.
cessful in grating new tops into old trees
HIS rule was always to begin at the top, and
graft third of the tree in each year-three
years being thus required to complete the en-.
tire tree. BY grating at the top first, the gratis
are not shaded by the remaining branches
while the necessary reduction throws The SAP
into the remaining side limbs, and gives them
vigor for grating the next year. tree seq
enty.1foe years old was successfully treated in
this way. The fourth year afterwards it bore
ten bushels of apples the fifth year eight
bushels, and the sixth year twenty eight and
half bushels Country Gentleman.

CHINA. = Additional intelligence from
China represents the state of affairs there as
being very serious with respect to the inter
ests of England. The Russian Minister at
the Court of Pekin had brought about an
armistice, to endure two years, between the
government and the rebel chiefs, and the
united forces were to exert themselves to drive
the British from the free ports. The English
factory at Whampoa was already removed,
and war junks were sunk at the important
points of all the rivers, in order to obstruct
the operations of the war ships. The Emper-
or had prohibited the inhabitunts Of the en-
pire from trading with the English under
penalty of death; suspended all treaties, and
ordered the imperial fleets and troops to at
tack them whenever they meet them, whilst
at Hong Kong the Chinese bakers had made
an effort to poison the whole of the European
colony, and great alarm existed amongst the
foreign residents at Singapore. The overland
trade Of China with Russia, by Siberia, was
to be unrestricted.

A Marrow EsCAPB.-One of the narrowest
escapes from death by drowning that we ever
heard of, came to our knowledge the other
day. About the first of the present month, a
son OF Mr.. Walter Stewart, of Weeks Mills,
about eleven years old, while coasting, slid on
to weak place in the ice and went through.
The alarm was Immediately given, and the
neighbors collected. Axes were procured and
hole cut in the ice, some fifty feet below
where the boy went in. No signs of him
could be seen, and they proceeded to cut an
other hole. While thus employed, the boy
was seen TO pass the first hole, feet foremost,
by young man who was watching the place,
and who Immediately plunged in his arm and
succeeded in grasping the boy comforter, by
which he was drawn out, apparently lifeless.
lie was taken to a house near by, and restor.
ed by the prompt application of the proper
remedies. He was in the water not far from
ten minutes Maine Farmer.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-On Friday the body of
man, in shockingly mutilated condition,
was found on the track of the Long Island
Railroad, between East New York and New
Brooklyn. He had evidently been killed by
beng run over by the cars. Two women
claimed the deceased as their respective hus-
bands. One was all English woman from
New York, the other German woman liv-
ing in New Brooklyn. Some watchmakers'
tools were found on the deceased. which in
creased the mystery, as the husbands of both
women were clock repairers. Both identified
scar ON the left leg of the body. Finally, by
the aid OF other witnessed, and very close
inspection, the German woman substantiated
her claim to the deceased, the other woman
departing, convinced that she was not vet
widow.

The BOXER ROMANCE. Last evening Young
Dean called for his wife at the residence Of
her father, No. 1875 West Twenty. Second
street, and thence conducted her to house
in Hudson street, where he has already en-
gagged apartments, to be occupied while they
remain in the city. He has had numerous Of
fers of assistance from friends, and even from
total strangers, interested in him, probably
from the incidents of his late marriage, but he
steadily refuses them, and shows at least an
independent spirit. His wife is said to be
heir to considerable legacy from deceased
uncle, the amount of which we have not
learned, but no part Of which she has vet re-
ceived. Her husbands counsel will soon
take steps to put her in possession Of it.-N.

Newton ran ashore at an early hour this morn
ing, when on her way from New York to this
city, between CallowelPs and Stony Point
a dense fog prevailed, and the pilot mistook
light in dwelling on the Western bank of
the river for the public light, and before he
was aware of his proximity to the shore, the

that she is sunk below her cabins. Her pas
sengers and freight were transferred to the

NEwsPAPoRIAL.-It is currently reported
in this city, and we believe on good authori-

change in the newspaper arrangements of
several establishments. The Telegraph ard

ed, it is said, in one paper, which will appear
in the quarto form, in imitation of the present
style of the Daily Bee, Mr.. Samuel Bowles of
the Springfield Republican to be the editor in
chief. What the paper will be called is not
settled, but its politics may be imagined. 1t
is cafe to say that such union as is contem-
plated will, in all probability, be for the Pc
cuniary advantage of the parties, and will re-
suit in newspaper much, improved. 1t will
also be an advantage to the other daily papers

GOVERNOR GEARY's TESTIMONY All along
his route from Kanzas, Gov. Geary scattered
his testimony freely as to the outrages of
border rutfianism not only over the territory
but over himself, causing him to flee for his
lie. dis statements are every where the
same, and fully confirm those made to and
from the st Louis Democrat. We quote fur
Their from that paper: =
"Gov. Geary and his private secretary came
to this Office unsolicited by us, and vountar-
lily, in the presence of five or six gentlemen,
gave utterance not only to all we have put in
his mouth, but great deal more that we did
not find room to publish. and which our pen
could not, by any possibility, have colored SO
highly as did the words of his tongue He
spoke freely, fully, and most Indignantly of
the outrages of the pro-slavery faction in
Kanzas, their mail robbefies, their murders,
their legislative and judicial denominations
and declared that henceforward the paddock
should drop from his lips, and the whole
truth should be made known.
AT Cleveland, these were among the COVER
nor's statements
'He fears collision between the pro- slavery
and free state men. Half the wrongs and
outrages committed on the free state people
had never been told lie had himself been
compelled to Leave the territory a,eder coUer of
might, IN order to escape the fury of ru6faoss
and pressrUe his life
"Pror to the presidential election he had
been in active correspondence with the gen.
eral government; but Immediately after, when
the result was known, all communication on
the part of the executive had ceased. He
was left to combat, single. handed and alone,
all the obstacles presented to prevent the
proper administration of the territorial gov.
eminent"
Stopping at Harrisburg, he met and con-
yersed with members of the Pennsylvania
legislature and others, saying =
THE government is entirely IN the hands
of the border rufians, and no power but the
military arm of the general government can
control them. He has no doubt, he says,
that if fair expression of the opinion of the
actual bona fde settlers could be had, two
thirds would be found favorable to the ter
ritory being free.

The Boston Journal of last evening makes a
statement, which, if true, places the publisher of
that paper, with others, in most unenviable po-
sition, to speak of it in no harsher terms. 1t
says that it was generally understood last Fall,
that the candidates nominated by the Republi.
cans Ito the Legislaturel, in this city TBoston]
would not oppose the American amendments.
The publisher Of the Journal was one of those
candidates. We have only to say, now, that we
hope there are not many men, protesting to be
Republicans, either in Boston or out of it, who
would consent, for the sake of office, to become
the tools of another party to carry out purposes
with wAich we have no sympathy, and which we
believe TO be wrong.
