Supreme Judicial Court.

CRIMINAL TERM.-BARRows J, PRESIDING
WEDNEsDAY.--At the opening of the Court Judge
Howard commenced his argument for the defence,
in the case of State Hill, for arson. He spoke
about two hours and half, and made an able plea
for the defen iant contending that Hill was entirely
innocent of the affair." and that the testimony against
him was OF such slight character that not doubt
c'uld exls in the minds of the jury to his inno-
cence He contended That the fire occurred from ac-
cident or defect in the chimney; II 1t was set it
might well be charged to either or all of the other
six occupants OF the house as to Hill.
Mr.. Webb. County Attorney, occupied nearly three
hours in his argument for the prosecution. I was
pronounced by all who heard it as one OF the ablest
pleas that have been made at that Bar He con-
tended that all the circumst disclosed tended
to fix the guilt of the matter upon Hill, and that
upon careful consideration OF the testimony the
Jurors would come to that conclusion.
The charge OF Judge Barrows was learned and
able. Alter giving the jury instructions as to the
nature of circumstantial evidence and how they
were to be governed by such evidence, he read bis
minutes of the testimony to refresh their minds and
lett it for them to decide upon the weight TO be given
to The evidence Of the several persons who bad been
upon the stand.
The case was given to the jury little after {
o'clock, and they were informed that Court would
be open until 10 o'clock to receive tLtir verdict Il
they agreed upon ole by that time. At O'Clock the
jury came In and returned verdict of GUILTY. We
understand a motion will be filed Tor new trial and
exceptions taken so that the will go up to- tn,
full Court.
Court then adjourned to Thursday morning, Al
which time the case of George Harris, for larceny
will be taken up. Harris tried for this offenc,
last winter, but cleared out while the jury were de
liberang on his case and hence no verdict was rem
| lered. - - ~ ~ t

THE REPORT of D. A. Wells special COM
missioner of the Treasury Department, will
not be laid before Congress till about the mid
die of the present month. 1t is understood
that with respect to the tariff he urges sub
stitutioD of specific for ad valorem duties,
whenever such thing is possible, and that he
does not think it advisable to make many ma
terial changes in existing rates. What rec
concentrations he will make relative to inter-
nal revenue taxation, are not known, though
in general way he declares himself favorable
to a reduction of rates OF raw materials. MIR.
Wells report will be looked for with great
interest by all classes, since he possesses quail
ications for scientific and impartial lnves-
tigation Of financial questions second to those
OF no other man in the country. The respect
in which his opinions are held by Congress
may he measured by the alacrity with which
the House OF Representatives repealed the
cotton tax in accordance with the recon-
mendations OF his preliminary report on that
subject to the Secretary of the Treasury.

"Her frolic grace" the Grand Duchess o.
Gerolstein, has at last reached Boston, ana
this staid and highly proper city is in such &c
stacies of delight that it hardly knows what t.
do about it. The first performance was OH
Monday evening; and nothing SO instantane
ously successful has ever been put upon the
stage of the Boston Theatre. All the news

opera now but opera boufe, and Otfenbach is
the only composer whose name can find men

as have. not seen and heard this delightful
specimen of comedy set to music, give brief
summary of the plot:
The Grand Duchess Of Gerolstein, having her
own way in her province, and making her
prime minister, Puck, minister primarily to
her humors, is sought in marriage by Paul. the
son OF a neighboring potentate, but as this suit
or is soft of head as well as heart, she only pes

fathers diplomatic, Baron Grog. The Duchess
affects military fashion, and visiting the camp

dramatis personse. BY many highways and
byways all these ends are reached, and with
the fiaale of the opera universal satisfaction
is established on both sides of the curtain. @ 4
Such summary as this can of course give
you no idea of the droll situations and funny
incidents with which the plot abounds, any
more than of the wit and gaiety of the dialogue,
or the light and sparkling character OF the mu-
sic. It is all fun from, beginning to end, the
slyest, drollest piece of musical satire imagina-
BILE. 1t satirizes not only the small pomps and
vanities, the notwithstanding, and the
Insignificant h-mghtinesses of the little
German courts, but it takes off in the happiest
manner the tricks and Alterations of various
musical composers. Amy one moderately ia
mliar with the various popular operas of the
day will find himself constantly reminded of
certain phrases and turns of musical express
sion peculiar to this or that composer, here so
drolly misapDlied or so delicately caricatured
as to be irresistbly funny. The piece is put
upon tne stage in splendid style, and the per-
formance is thoroughly satisfactory. If any of
your readers are proposing to visit Boston
this week or next, you need not hesitate about
advising them to see the Grand Duchess of
Gerolstein without fail. n AP-OwEN

SHOOTING JUDGE IN NEW MExIoo.-The
Chicago Tribune has a dispatch from Denver
Colorado. giving the particulars of the shoot
ing of Judge Slough of New Mexico. 1t ap-
pears that some difficulty had taken place be-
tween Slough, Secretary Heath and Indian
Agent Army, relative TO the swearing in OF
the members of the Legislature. The Chief
Justice had always performed that duty previ-
Gus to the assembling of the last Legislature
few weeks ago, when for some reason they
called upon the Secretary to swear them in.
This the Chief j Justice took a direct insult to
himself, ard meeting Mr.. Army, charged him
with being the instigator of the movement,
and assaulted him in the most violent manner.
He was arrested and brought before justice
of the peace but refused to be tried before
such an officer. For these and other acts un-
becoming q Chief Justice. member of the
Legislature named VIM. l.. Rynerson, intro
dnced joint resolution declaring that in the
opinion of the people OF New Mexico John T.
Slough was unfit to hold the position of Chief
Justice, and requesting his removal. For TINS
Slough denounced Rynerson as a liar, a cow
ard and thief. They (Slough and Rvnerson)
met in the bar room of the Exchange Hotel at
noon on Sunday last, when Rynerson demand
ed a retraction from Slough of the epithets he
had applied to him. Slough refused to retract
anything that he had said, whereupon Ryner-
son drew revolver and fired at Slough. The
shot took effect just above the thigh, causing
his death in few hours.

The Cumberland County Temperance Asso-
citation held its regular monthly meeting here
yesterday. A business meeting was held in
the forenoon, aud public discussion was held
in the afternoon at the Congregational Chapel.
Judge Waterman welcomed the convention, to
Gorham, and was followed by Mr.. Strout of
Standish, and several other gentlemen, in brief
addresses. Rev. Mr.. Reyes of Portland, dwelt
powerfully upon the idea that the Temperance
reform must be effected in and through and
not upon the people. The spread of Christian
itv checks not only intemperance but other
vices. Education elevates the community above
all forms of sensual indulgence. Physiologi-
cal science is on the side of Temperance. So
cial customs are improving. It is mistake of
Temperance men to rely on compulson instead
of education. The slower process is safer and
surer. Mr.. Keyes's remarks were listened to
with attention and frequent manifestations OF
approval.
In the evening the convention was addressed
by Gen. Neal Dow. Mr.. Dow insisted that in
these apparently unpropitous times, it is the
duty of the friends of the Temperance cause
to stand by it without falterng. He spoke at
some length of the sad effects of intemperance
both in this country and in England. One
cause of the apparent increase of the use of
spirituous liquors, he found in the practice of
physicians who prescribe stimulants with a
shameful reoklessness of the disastrous conse-
quences. Of license law Mr.. Dow spoke with
scorn and indigna ton, as an expedient to pro-
mote the sale and use of liquors. The doctors
of divinity who advocate such law are mere
weather vanes, and would a1voca;e free rum
if the popular breeze blew that way. 1t is
necessary to maintai n the ground we have won,
and not to ield an inch to the enemy
The choir furnished appropriate music in the
evening, and MIR. Lowell of Portland favored
us with several excellent songs during the day.
The convention adjourned to meet at the call
of the executive committee. HYDoR.

THE first number Of the Biddeford Times
came to hand last evening in all the glory of
new type, and with some of the disadvantages
of new press. 1t is, geographically, an ex-
ceedingly handsome paper. The publisher, in
his salutatory, says he doesn't expect to lose
more than thirty nor less than five thousand
dollars the first year of his experiment., and is
prepared for anything within that range Those
who expect little are not likely to be disap-
pointed, in the newspaper business. The col
umn of Varieties" is called, in allusion to a
recent satirical article in the Biddeford Jour-
nal, HBoduggerisms."s For first. number the
Times is rather newsy. The dispatches do not
seem to us to be "twelve hours later than those
in the Portland morning papers" but it is hard
ly fair to criticise New Years dispatches. The
Times is an evening paper, somewhat smaller
than the Portland Evening Star, and on the
Democratic side in politics: 4s~AA - t>4

DRUNKENNESS In ENGLAND. = Monadnock,
the London correspondent of the New York
Times, says: "The London Timss copies from
the New York Times paragraph on the APP
parently contradictory testimony of two di-
vines as to European and American drunken
ness. The gentleman who said be had seen so
little drunkenness in Europe meant the con-
tinent-and the Southern part of that. He
certainly did not include England. To be
drunk three days out of seven is the normal
condition of an immense number of English
men, and of more English women than an
American can have any idea of. 1t is quite
possible to see more drunkenness in one day
in Liverpool than in whole year of continent
tai travel" -. zoo .......-.
