An important decision iii relation to
tow and tug boats not being liable as
common carriers for damages TO vessels
or their cargoes, which they may have
in tow, was rendered few days since
in the United States Circuit Court, at
New Orleans. In May, lS6b, the tug
Neatiie, in landing hay barge, colIlded
it with another fiat, sinking the hay
boat. The owners of the flat sued for
S3ljO. the value Of the boat and con
tents. The evidence showed that due
care was exercised 10y the boat, and the
fat. which was in a weak, lcaky condl-
ton, was suddenly thrown against the
other flat by a boil or undercurrent
The decision rendered was that the
Ncatfic was not liable for the damage,
because the tag was not q common
carrier; only furnishing the motive
power, and not undertaking to
trans port inc Soous iou'lu "'' '''N ~,
craft, which She took in tow The
Judge stated that the case was like the
owner of wagon laden with merchan-
disc hiring a man to hitch the horses to
the wagon to draw it from one point to
another, the owner of the wagon riding
in it and having charge of the goods.
In such case could ii he claimed with
anv show OF reason that the owner OF
the team was common carrier. a
contrary doctrine has been applied by
the Supreme Court Of louisiana, to
steam tugs towing between the city OF
New Orleans and the mouth OF the
river Mississippi. These tow boats are
distinguished from those plying in the

The County Medical Society held a Special Meeting at Dr. Buel's in this place. onsthe 23d ut. admitting the following new members, viz: Wm. Porter, Lltch- field; Ralph s. Goodwin. Thomaston; and Cornelius ". Bull. Terryville. After dis cussion of various medical questions, the Society visited the Spring Hill Institution for Nervous Invalids at this place, under cares of Drs Buel and Porter, and partook lof a fine scollation. It was voted that Rheumatism should be the topic for dis cussion at the next meeting, which takes place in October, at Wolcottyille, and the following resolution was passed. upon mo- tion of Dr. Beckwith:-
 "After a thorough examination of Spring Hill Institution for Nervous Inva- lids-under care of Drs. Buel and Porter we desire to express our confidence in the management of the establishment. The location in a mountain region where the air is purest, the scenery, most delightful. and the peculiar home-llke air which sur rounds 1t, give it particular advantages to Nervous Invalids, which are seldom found. The long experience of Drs. Buel < Porter in the treatment of Nervous diseases, render them worthy of the greatest confidence, and We commend their Institution and place of treatment most cordially to tho public.

 = An act has passed both branches of the Legislature, authorizing the Town of Litchfield to subscribe an additional one per cent to the capital stock of the She paug Valley R. R. Go.

This amendment is in accordance with the precedent set by the Legisture earlier in the session, in ratlfy.ng the action of the towns of Middletown and Middlefeld, which had voted seven and one half per cent to the Air Line railroad.

 Having conquered the salt monopolists, and their leader. MT.

They, more than any other class, are re- sponsible for our tariff They are wealthy, and their wealth acquired in the way it has been, has made them bold and unscrupu- lous. Their money in too many instances, has been taken from the pockets of oth- CTS, and transferred to their own without any reasonable compensation. What they have had, they hope to have continued. The fact that their branch of industry has been followed for more than two hundred years; that in it's infancy it was strong enough to successfully compete with the English manufacturers; that during al- most 200 years, the manufacturers of pig iron have been protected, these conside- rations do not occur to the men who are demanding nine dollars per to duty on pig iron. 4 bad record on Me tariff question. sciH Keep more thdn One .Caadidate for Con- 9ress at home, tkisJ JaN. as s.4r eae 54.

The exer- cises consisted of singing, of which the Dr. is passionately fond, and whom We remem: ber looking up to in the old gallery choir with all awe second only to that with which we viewed the minister. The songs of ''ye oIden time" interspers- ed with few modern ones, filled the programme.

He gave us vivid descrip- tion of the situation of our country nine- ty-four years ago, and told the children how it took six days for the news of the adoption of the Declaration to go from Philadelphia to New York; and, when the Erie Canal was finished, how the news that the first boat had started from Buffalo was conveyed to New York, by the firing of cannon stationed at intervals all the way along the Canal and River, and that it took one hour and twenty minutes to &C., complish it. Now, the State of New York is more populous than the whole thirteen Colonies were, when our fathers declared their Independence.

Fourth of July.

Fourth of July is grand theme for the csricaturist of 1870. Every Illustrated newspaper 'igirds at" it, and next to mo- body over sixteen seems to rejoice in its prospect. We that have seen real patriot ism, ars not easily taken with its sham i; sndexcept as a day consecrated to fire crackers, it seems actually going out of ob- seryance. We doubt whether if MT. lief 9erson- Brick should make Fourth of July Address, the. New York Herald would print it unless, indeed, it was intended for effect in the Fall elections. Connecticut is peculiarly favored. President Grant is Ethe guest of the State, and of Mir. Bow en. publisher of the Independent; and Ben Butler makes an address. This the R~od may publish. for there is always an sincidental interest in what Butler says to all people of the conservative faith. Still, would Grants coming excite any less in- sterest at any other time than on the Glo- nous Fourths a3 tGs 1s
 s- Are we to infer. therefore, that Bun scombe is dead? Oh, no! only that our agreat national anniversary is nearly dead, of Buncombe. The men who have fired ball cartridge don't take the same interest in the blank cartridge business that a peaceful generation does We, who have seen three new Amendments added to the United States Constitution. have no taste for Fourth of July style of eloquence. What we want is not a new anniversary, but new style of observance. The old ways that have degenerated into nuisance, should be abandoned To talk gradilo- quentiy of the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill to the men who were at Nal vern Hill and Gettysburg. only exposes that grand old uprising to ridicule. So. too, the annual excitement with which we de- nounce the GreatBritains, of Gladstone and Bright. as though stupid George III and plant Lord North were hearing us, is equally Imaginable. If the old celebration does not suit us, is there no possible new one? Must we look to France for our amusements as we'll as our fashions, and borrow Napoleon's recipe book?
