 was objected to by Mr. Tazewell and other
 senators as unconstitutional. The subject
 was referred to n select committee, who re-
 ported on inc 7th March, as tn the circum-
 stances and precedents. when after discussion, and Mr. aLanman had been heard in speech
 of one hour, vindicating his right to q seat,

 aLocusts.-The cicada sepiemdecim, or seven
 years Locust. has again made it's appearance
 in sOnne Of the towns in this country.. We
 heard this week, for the first time, that they
 had been discovered in great numbers in some
 of the orchards in Glastonbury. Seventeen years ago they infested the same orchards and did much damage tO the fruit trees. They make incision in tue tender twigs, probably for the purpose of depositing their. eggs, and the shoots are not nnfrequently wholly de- stroyed thereby. These insects are said to make their appearance with entire regularity once in,17 years, and their regular return at such distant periods is among the inscrntable mysteries which WIG do not understand, and shall not of course attempt to explain. Some ofthe orcliards in SUffield also, we learr, are suffering On account of the rasages of the Lo- cust.-Hartfohd Pat. and Democrat. q !, zs
 We have rot heard of the appearance of the Locust in this county. but many or chards in this and the neighboring towns have been stripped eftheir foliage by small worm, by some called the palm worm. which have ins tast numbers, So destructive have they been, that in some orchards scarce ly algrcen leafisto be seen, and the trees ap- pear as if scared with fire. We have not lsarDt how far thesrayages, of the worms ex- fend but in this vicinity they have entirely blasted the fairprospects lately enjoyed of fruitful season for apples. - Bridgeport E Far.
