The annual session of the Maine Medical
Society, which closed yesterday, was undoubt-
eddy the largest, in point of numbers that ever
assembled since the organization of the Society.
Among the members of the profession present
from abr Dad, were numbe- of the Oldest and
ablest practitioners in the State, who added
much to the interest and value of the meeting
by reports of cases in their own practice or
within their observation; and students and
young practitioners had the ripest experience
open for their instruction. The number of pa
pers submitted was unusually large-so large
that number of valuable ones were necessari.
ly referred to the Committee on Publication
without being read. A great deal of business
was left unconsidered or only partially com.
pleted, and some important matters were re.
ferred to special committees to be acted upon
at their convenience; among them the Medica
Bill which was before the last legislature
Much work was, however, accomplished, ant
the gathering promoted more genial fellow
ship in the profession. and did much for thu
cause of medical science.

The position OF the steamer has improved since
the last intelligence, and the prospect Of get

wreckers she has been moved over one hun

is hoped that the approaching high tides, to-
gether with the tightening of her cargo, will
soon float her SO that she can be brought into
the Portland dry dock.

SUPREME COURT CONDENSED DE-
ClSIONS.

The court yesterday delivered number
of opinions Of general interest.
! In the case Of Bietry VS.. the city of New
Orleans, Chief Justice Ludeling delivered
the opinion, and it was held that under the
| peculiar clause which ID inserted in all city
contracts. the Common Council had the
| right, if dissatisfied with the method in
which the work was being done, to terminate
the contract without indemnity. The large
judgment, some $4,000, in favor of plaintiff,
was reversed.
In the case Of the city Of New Orleans VS..
Peasant, it was held, Mr.. Justice Taliferro
delivering the opinion, that under the con-
stitution Of 1864 and the statute of 1866 the
city had right to levy license tax on
lottery ticket vendors.
In the case of Micou VS.. BENJAMIN, Mr..
Justice Howell delivering the opinion, it
was held, on the authority of the Supreme
Court of the United States (Bigelow vs..
Forrest, Wallace), that seizure and sale
Of land of an enemy under the confiscation
act OF 1862 could and did convey only an
estate for the life of the person on account
of whose status as an enemy the property
was cOntiscated, and that therefore the sale
in this case did not affect the mortgage i'm
posed by Benjamin in good faith prior to
the passage of this act.
In the case of Monasterio Va. Flanders
etc. Mr. Justice Wyly delivering the opin-
ion, it was held that the defendants could
not be held by mandamus to place on the
statement Of floating debt of the city Ger
tain warrants Of the parish, right bank, al
it's basis from that of Hernandez VS.. the
same, lately decided.
In the case Of the Eclipse Tow Boat Com
pany vs. the Ponchartrain Railroad Com
pany in which damages to tie amount of
SlOO, 900 were claimed, the opinion was de-
liverei by Mr. Justice Howe, and it was
held that there was nothing unlawful, and
therefore nothing legally injurious, in a con-
tract made by the railroad with Charles
Morgan. by which the railroad agreed to
divide with him pro ram the through freight
to Mobile, and refused to pro rate" with
the plaintiffs.
In the case of Bovee VS.. Heron, Mr. JUS
tice Taliaferro delivered the opinion dis
missing Bovee's appeal because it was net
made returnable according to law. within
ten days from iudgment-in this following
the rule laid down in case of Blandln VS..
Clay. Twenty Annual.
The court will sit this week and will also
meet on the twenty-sixth instant, to make
DEGREES final, and deliver opinions, if any be
prepared
