 We were in error last week in stating that the sion of the Legislature was little over siz weeks" It should have been 6Ue weeks-tO wit, from the 9th of May to the 10th of June.
 Pest OGce AgpointssentS.-Since our last, we have learnt that there have been twelve appointments for the office of Postmaster in this county since the mencement of the present session of Congress.

 Thomas Allen, the editor of the Madisonian, has been chosen Printer to the Senate. The loco loco members refusing to vote at all, and it requiring majority of the whole Senate voting to elect, he not chosen until the third ballot. On the first and second, 26 voses-on the third, 2.
 The House of Representatives on Saturday last passed the bill appropratng 925OOo to the widow of the late President Harrison. It opposed exclu. sively on party groDnds-and when the vote was sa- ken, it stood l29 to G6.
 We have looked over the address alluded to below, and fully coincide with the Palladium that the ad- dress is the outpourng of the feelings of few disappointed office hunters. We do not believe that ono quarter of the members whose names are attach ed to it, ever even till it published in the Times.
 "The Loco Foco members of the last Legislature have published an Address to their constituents, de. fning their position at the present time in regard to matters and things in general. The address doubt less emanated from some of the democratic loungers about Hartford, whO since they have been turned out of the public employment, have nothing to do but grumbe at their hard lot They write out their feel ings. which. under such circumstances not of the most amablc character, and request the democracy to endorse them, which, of course, is always readily done.

 Will some of the whg members of the legislature have the goodness to give good reason to their constituents why Messrs. Beebe and Boyd were not sI. oQSn the duties of which they discharged the last year the satisfaction of every body or why it became necessary sacrifice the former to give it to loco loco member of the legislature? We have over be. lieved the adage. "be just before generous. to be good one.
 PorAroEs.-The Executive Committee 1.-the Ltch- field County Agricultural Society, at thoir meeting in this place the past month, awarded a premium of 8 to MT. James Williams for his new kind of po- tatoes, which have been raised about here for four or five years past They are of very large size, and very prolific: Side by side with the Rohans, they have produced altogether the best-and at least of as good flavor and quality. Mr. Williams is poor laboring man, and hence has not had opportu- mites to try experiments which he would have desr ed. He was requested to furnish the committee Wltn ms process OI obtaining ana ralSig HIS potd- toes, and has furnished what follows:
