The NEW CoURT.-At the organization of
the new Superior Court Saturday, the two
following rules were adopted, and will go into
immediate operation -
Il. That in all trials of causes. whether bv
jury or by the court, the closing argument Of
the counsel of the respective parties shall be
limited to one hour on each side, unless before
the commencement of the argument, for good
cause the court shall allow further time"
". That witnesses, during the examina-
tion, shall be interrogated by one counsel on
ly, who shall respectively conduct the exami-
nation and cross-examination, standing"
The purpose of these rules is to economize
time, and facilitate the administration of ius.
tlce In most of the causes to be determined
1t was thought that one hour, though great
reduction from the frequent practice of coun-
sci, would still be sufficient for presenting the
arguments. The second rule, if generally an
Piled, will remove another of the great causes
OF the prolongation of trials and the DELAYS of
justice. The first terms of the new court
were opened, Tuesday. by Judge Brigham at
Boston, Judge Vose at Lenox, Judge Ames at
Concord, and Judge Lord at Boston. All ex-
cept one of the Boston terms are for criminal
business only

Celebration in Warren.

The Congregational Sabbath School in War
ren, invited the other Sabbath schools in the
town and in Brimfield to unite with them in
picnic on the Fourth. The Methodist school
having previously engaged to be present on
that day at West Brookfeld, could not com
ply; but the Universaist school of Warren and
the school in Brookfeld accepted the invita-
ton. They met at the Congregational meet
ing house in Warren, and thence went in
procession composed of from 500 to 600 per-
sons to grove near by, and in delightful
amphitheater which nature had made, united in
patriotic and religious festival exercises The
Declaration of independence was read by Mr..
Newton S. Hubbard of Brimfield, and address,
es were made by the pastors of the churches
represented, and by Rev. Mr.. Cushing of
North Brooktield, an invited guest. The ladies
OF Warren, who know how to do a handsome
thing presented the speakers with rich and
fragrant boquets. A charm was given to the
occasion by music from some of the children.
and from quartette of adults. And to the
credit of Warren, be it said the refresh
MEETS, furnished by the two schools in that
town, or the parents and friends of the chill
dren, for the whole company which was in
creased in the grove to some 700 or 800, were
such in quantity, variety and quality, as can
rarely be found on such occasions. The table
and rostrum were tastefully decorated, and the
whole affair was truly success.

Celebration in Milford.

The people of Milford went to TwichelPs
Grove, where, after music by the Milford Cor
net Band, the members of the Band of Hope
sung the Pilgrim hymn commencing:
"Over the mountain wave, see where they come"
after which the Declaration was read by John
H. Clafiin Music by the Band, prayer by
Rev. j. S. Woodbury. and another song-"Our
Country"-by the children, followed, when
Charles j. White, the Principal of the Milford
High School, delivered the oration. 1t was
production of much literary merit and moral
worth,-rather in advance of the too fulsome
talk and false patriotism, and was well receiv-
ed by numerous audience. Sentiments were
given at the table, and responded to by several
gentlemen; the one by Winslow Battles the
POSTMASTER, was able and pithy. Brooks Mil
ford Cornet Band acquitted themselves with
great credit, delighting the happy throng with
lheir strains of appropriate music. While
preparing to play one of their responses, they
were unceremoniously tumbled to the ground
by the giving way of the platform, injuring
their instruments somewhat, but escaping
themselves unharmed. AT an early evening
hour, the mass of people wended their way to
the ground assigned for the display of the fire.

ton.

true ideas of liberty inculcated in our Sabbath
Schools, and proposed three cheers for freedom,
which were given. Mrs. Cutter made some
touching allusions to the Indians as the former
proprietors of the soil, to the settlement of
Brookfeld one hundred and ninety-nin years
ago, and also to what she had seen in Kansas.
Her remarks were listened to with interest.

no little qualification of the audience. A good
