VALUABLE HINT.-The judges of the new
Superior Court of Massachusetts have held a
meeting and adopted two rules which are to 20
into immediate operation and are as follows:
a. That in all trials Of causes whether by Jury or
ny the court the closing arguments of the council of
the respective parties shall be limited to one hour on
each slie unless before the commencement of the ar
gument, for good cause the court shall allow further
time.
2. That witnesses, during their examination shall
De nerogaed by one counsel only, who shall respec-
lively conduct tho examination and examination
standing"
The effect Of these rules will be to shorten
speeches and cross-examinations, and are very
much in accordance with English practice We
cannot but commend them to the attention of
the Judiciary of Vermont. 1t seems to us that
if any reform of this kind is needed anywhere
1t is desirable in this State. 1t often happens
that four counsel are engaged in arguing case
where the dd damn"m is not twenty-five dol
lars, and they occupy six, eight, ten and twelve
hours to the confusion of the jury and the dis
gust of the Court. In this way the business of
our terms are unreasonably protracted. Again
the witnesses and the counsel both sit during
the examination and oross-examination of
witness, and these all continue at length and
a tediousness that delays and abstracts rather
than facilitates justice A great reform in these
particulars is needed, and it seems to us that
our Courts would do well to initiate the EXAM
pie OF Massachusetts, in these particulars.

tFrom the Norwich Auro-ia, Sept III
Death of Capt. L'HOmmedieu

Capt. Giles L'Hommedieu, the oldest
man in the town of Norwich, died at his
residence on Tuesday evening last. He
was born in Sag Harbor, L. l., on the 2sth
day of April, 1866, and was consequently
in the Oath year of his age. In 177s his
father and all his family were driven from
Long Island by the British troops. They
took refuge in Saybrook, and soon after
settled in New London. On the 9th of
September, 1850, when Arnold burned
New London, they were again driven out
and their property destroyed. Mr.. L'Hom-
medeu, to his last day, well remembered
the burning of the town, as Col. Green
did who died on the 9TH inst. They were
probably the last survivors of that event.
Mr. L L'Honmedieu has resided in Norwich
ever since-a period of nearly eighty years.
Up to within year or two he was remark
ably erect and active, aad would get in and
out of his high, old-fashioned wagon as
quick as man of forty. But for the last
two years he has steadily declined in health
and strength.
Capt. LHommedieu was ship-master
as long ago as the administration of
Washington, and was often employed by
the government as bearer of important dis
patches to our ministers in Europe. He
sometimes performed this service under
of great difficulty and dan
ger. After long, useful and patriotic
life, the veteran has gone to his rest, bles-
sed with the respect of all who knew him.
His last appearance in public was on the
occasion of our late celebration, when
be came TO his door and acknowledged
the salute of the passing procession.
The deceased was brother TO the grand
father of S. S. L'Homme6ieu, Esq, of
This city, who was also driven from Long
Island by the British troops, but returned
10, and died in Sag Harbor after the close
Of the Revolution.

that rate be mined at net profit of at
least one-fourth of the gross product. Col.
F. is confident that his present works do
not separate half the gold contained in the
rock, and that by the use of the new ANAL
gamators he is about to apply, he will dou-
bic his weekly product without an increase
of cost. This conviction is founded on
chemical experiments and tests which seem
to leave no donbt of the fact that the ad-
ditional gold is in the rock, but whether
the means of extracting it have yet been
discovered remains to be seen. At all
events, l feel sure that the productive ness
ofthese works will incrsase much faster
than their expenses, so long as Col. F. shall
devote himself to their management so en-
:irely as he is now doing. In the hands
of agents and attorneys, they would proba-
bly, become again what they once were, and
what all quartz mining works managed at
second hand have been.

How THE Sons OF MALTA ARE I'M
TIATED.-"Jeems" was recently initiated
into the Order of the Sons of Malta, and
graphically describes, in an exchange, his
introduction into the "vale of mystery" as
follows:
You are first grabbed and thrown into a
tub of cold water, and forthwith several
large men begin to stick pins into you.-
Hauling you out of the tub of water, they
rush you into another department, and now
new men make lunge after you dressed
in disguise, and Immediately commence
pouring hot molasses into your hair and
boots. Meanwhile a stream of cold water
is flooded on to you, and man dressed in
black, thrusts snuff box in front of your
nose, and all at once you begin to sneeze
vociferously, andstbe eager crowd begins
to laugh and hurrah. Showing you fur
thcr along, the chief men and bottle wash
ers grab you by the nose, hair and coat
tail, and in this way rip every bit of dry
goods loose from your person, and again
the crowd roars with tumultous laughter
at your nude state, with five or six men
holding on to your hair and toes, forcing
you up soaped pole with pins and sharp
sticks. You now begin to think you are
forsaken by all of Gods people, and the
devil has certainly got possession of you,
knocking you on the head so that you see
stars as numerous as they are in milky
way. You are handled in this kind of
tantalizing way for two hours, when the
officers give you large dose Of liverwort
and tar, and then let you 60.

English Emigration Returns.

The English Government emigration re.
turns for the month of August have been
completed, and they exhibit general i'm,
provement in the emigration trade from
the Mersey. The total emigration during
the month amounted to 6,714 souls, Of
whom 36S were cabin and 6,365 interme-
diate and steerage. Of the latter 1926
were natives of England, All of Scotland,
3,45l of Ireland, and 244 belonging to
other countries, chiefly from Germany. In
the previous month of July the numbers
were 5,9l6 souls-1,414 English, 323
Scotch, $500 Irish, and 2SO foreigners.-
One remarkable feature in these returns is
the large falling off in the number of Irish
emigrants sailing from the Meisey, the de-
crease during the month being nearly 500,
while the English and Scotch emigrants
have increased nearly 1000. To the Uui-
ted States the emigration has been larger
than for many months, the numbers being
$40 cabin and 4,276 steerage passengers
of whom 1862 belonged to England,
126 to Scotland, 2,572 to Ireland, and
Zlo were foreigners. DurinS the previous
month the number of the cabin passen-
gers was $50, and the steerage 3,754-
743 OF whom were natives of England,
l66 of Scotland, 1852 of Ireland; and 163
foreigners; while in the corresponding Pc
riod of last year the cabin passengers num-
bered 1s4, and the sieetage S,717. In
vessels not "unier the act" or subjected to
government inspection, 166 emigrauts sail
ed for ports in the United States. The
emigration to the States developed itself
more towards the end of the month, as we
find that during the early part of August
vessels cleared with barely $50 passengers,
while towards the end of the ships mus
tered from 400 to 500 souls. These re.
turns do not comprise the passengers, car.

trade, for the territorial slave code, and th,
new Dred Scott decision that is to carry
slavery into the free States. Did you eve
five years ago hear of anybody in all the
world saying that the negro had no share
in the Declaration of National Independ.
ence; that it did not mean negroes at all
and when sail men" were spoken Of, ne
groes were not included2
Now, if you are opposed to slavery, hon.
estly, as much rs anybody, / ask you to
note that fact, and the like of which is to
follow, to be plastered on, layer after layer,
until very soon you are prepared to deal
with the brute. If public sentiment has
not been debauched already to this point,
a new turn of the screw in that direction
is all that is wanting; and this is constant
ly being done by the teachers of this in
sidious popular sovereignty.
You need but one or two turns further
until your minds, now ripening under
these teachings will be ready for all these
things, and you will receive and support,
or submit to, the slave trade revived with
all its horrors; slave code enforced in our
territories, and new Dred Scott decision
to bring slavery up to in the very heart of
the free North. This, 1 must say, is but
carrying out those words prophetically
spoken by Mr.. Clay many, many years ago,
| believe more than thirty years. when he
told an audience that if they would repress
all tendencies to liberty and ultimate
emancipation, they nast go back to the
era of our independence and muzzle the
cannon which thundered its annual joyous
return on the Fourth of July; they must
blow out the moral lights around US; they
must penetrate the human soul and eradi-
cate the love of liberty; but until they did
these things, and Others eloquently emu
merated by him, they could not repress all
tendencies to ultimate emancipation.
l ask attention to the fact that in pre-
eminent degree these popular sovereigns
are at this work; blowing out the moral
lights around us; teaching that the negro
is no longer a man but brute; that the
Declaration has nothing to do with him;
that be ranks with the crocodile and the
reptile, that man with body and soul, is
matter of dollars and cents.
I suggest to this portion of the Ohio
Republicans, or Democrats, if there be any
present, the serious consideration of this
fact, that there is now going on among you
a steady process of debaucbing public opin-
ion on this subject. With this my friends
l bid you adieu.
At the close, Mr.. Lincoln's remarks
were received with great and prolonged ap-
plause.

Horace Greeley was present and sat inside

Phelps on the other, and Heber c. Kim

WALKING ON THE WATER-Mr. Hick-
cock performed his feat of walking on the
surface of the bay yesterday afternoon in
presence of nearly four hundred spectators.
The performance took place on the north
side of The Island, short distance from
Noodles wharf. Shortly after S o'clock
Mr.. Hickock left the shore in a boat and
donned his "boots" in about seven or eight
feet of water. By means of long pole
he steadied himself for second, and then
walked off with brisk step. After walk
ing few rods, followed BY a large num-
Der of boats, he turned briskly round, and
walked back to the place where the bulk
of the spectators were standing. Although
his boots have rather a clumsy and un-
wieldy-like appearance, Mr.. Hickock ap-
peared to move about with grest IA
cility, and in whatever direction he
wished. After marching upon the wa
ter for about half an hour, Mr.. Hic-
kock approached the land and explained
the theory of bis invention. He also stated
that in short time he expected to appear
in another pair of "boots,' in which he
would leap into the middle Of the bay and
walk about where he pleaed.-Toronto

He sleepeth now-on a sculptared urn
He resteth his weary bead.
While noiseiess round him gather
