Court OF Appeals.

The exceptions in the liquor cases
were signed by the Court on Satur-
day last, and the record will be trans
mitted to the Court of Appeals in q
few days, and it is thought the matter
will be speedily disposed of. In sign
ing the exceptions, Judge Miller re-
marked that at the second trial OF
Duckett and in the subsequent liquor
cases, be had ruled that none but
those who were mentioned in the
charters of the different clubs were
members thereof, and that il the Court
were right in this view, the srticles
did not include those who subsequent
" became members. AS he said at the
time of the trial, be would repeat now,
that that was all be intended to say.
and he deeply regretted If any other
construction had been placed upon his
language. The questions involved
were very interesting ones, he said,
and presented no little difficulty, and
would require the decision of the
Court Of Appeals to settle them. It is
thought an early day will be assigned
for the hearing Of the case.

Two venturesome young men Or our
city-Mr. Ernest T0lson and Edward
Taylor, attempted to cross the bay on
Saturday night after the storm had
lulled somewhat, IN on open batteau.
Their object was to visit friends on
Kent Island. They had not proceed
ed far when their little craft became
unmahgeabIe, and for o time the bosom
of the Chesapeake threatened to en-
gulf them in watery graves. Being
only embryo sons of Neptune, they
were not familiar with the arts Of boat
craft and naturally in a storm like that
OF Saturday night their gallant little
shallop became unmanageabIe, and
they were tossed about for hours at
the mercy of the waves mot know.
ing whittier they were going. About
four o'clock the shores of old Fort
Madison loomed up before them, the
sight of which inspired them with new
life. They were not long in vending
their way up to the quarters of the
night watch, presenting before that
individual a most pitiable and forlorn
appearance They were made ais COM
Portable as circumstances would admit
and after drying their clothing aud
recuperating their strength, and no
doubt considering discretion the bet
ter part Of valor, took their departure
for home-wiser if not better men for
their venturesome experiecce.
