that which we gave last week, why the Bak

not appeal to the Supreme Court, in the event
of a decision being pronounced against them,
in the. suit now pending before the, Court of

the Rail Road Company And that upon Which
they chiefly rely, is a denial of the validity

Horrid case of latemperance.—On Tues

house in Centre, street,. Portland, which
showed it to be on fire. The alarm was
given and people went in. The chamber
from Which the smoke came was thstened f
and the inmates could not be prevailed upon
to open it. The door was ferced open, when
a sight most shocking to humanity was pre.
united. A man was lying on the bed so
drunk as to be unable to move, the woman
was also intoxicated and raving about the
room, cursing and swearing like a maniac,
and in the cradle was a hale child burning
to death. The clothes and pillows in the
