In the House, the Speaker presented state

copies of the compendium of the census, instead
of 20, 900 as ordered, at cost of 100000 above

the select committee on the Census.
The Tariff question was again taken up, and
Mr.. Merther concluded his remarks in favor Of
the unconstitutonalty OF protection.
Mr. Winthrop in his usual talented manner,ad-
vocated the doctrine Of protection, showing its
ultimate connection with all the interests of the
country. He contended that the Compromise
Act, which was soon to expire. was defective and
mpracticable in many particulars that 1t did moi
impose sufficient duties for the just and economl
cal wants of Government, and that the subject
should be thoroughly investigated, not only witt
reference to the manufacturing, but the agrcn
tural and commercial interests, and that whlcl
the aggregate amount of duties was to be laid tol
revenue, yet when this amount was once ascer
tanned discrimination might be made IN faVor o.
all these interests.
The people of this country had looked forwar,
to this tenth and last year of the Compromise
Act, to have the subject thoroughly investigated
and themselves fairly and fully heard, and tina
through a committee favorable to their interests
In an effort now made by the opponents of Pro
lection to preclude such hearing, an excltemen
would be created far greater than had existed OF
the subject of the 2lst rule. The Tariff question
should be candidly considered and settled tins

Both Houses adjourned over to Monday.

COUNTERFEIT Bills. The following the
facts IN relation to the arrest of IN Bethel,
last week, on the charge of counterleiting. There
were some inaccuracies concerning it i'll our pa
per of Saturday
Emerson, the individual arrested came into
Lowell at midnight of Sunday and stopped at a
tavern which has long been the resort of suspi-
'cous persons; he remained in Lowell till Tues
day.
The sum found on Emerson was estimated at
$4,000 about one half in hves of Suffolk Bank,
and the remainder in threes of Brunswick Bank
The Suffolk Bank bills were dated July %. 1885
After his departure, Stephen Head, of Lowell
who had been in company with Emerson, offered
some three dollar Brunswick bills, at So each
saying that they counterfeit. Two of the
bills were bought of him, and he offered to furnish
any quantity Justice Hammons issued a war;
rant for the arrest of Head and Emerson En-
erson was pursued and overtaken at Bethel. He
did not deny that he had the money and handed
it over to the officer. He brought back to
Lowell and arratgned before b. Nevers, Esq of
Sweden, and plead guilty He was ordered to
recognize in the of three hundred and fifty
dollars-a sum in opinion, altogether too
small. Heads bonds were set at 5000.

To THE CLOSING YEAR.
Thou art passing away, thou changeful year,
Thou art passing away from EARTH
The leaf of thy life, is yellow and sere,
And hushed for aye is thy voice of ninth.
How many that opened the sunny eye,
And smiled on the first bright day of thy life,
Now at thy closing, in the low grave lie.
Their Spiriis away !iom sorrow, and strife.
Thy spring-ti blushed in the morning sky,
AMI touched with veduro, both forest and
bower,
That passed away, and the ralnbow's dye
Lay bright in the heart of the summers flower,
The South-wind was loaded with the roses
breath,
And the trees with glorious bloom
Their fragrance was borne 10 the house of death
Aud the bright flowers lifted their heads o'er
the ionb
For poison borne on the summer air,
And sickness crept 'hro the frame,
The finger of Death touched the strong and the
fair,
To the Joyous, and to the sad, alike he came
The funeral bell was toing day after day,
The song Of the bird seemed mournfuily low,
Oh many spirit was passing away,
And many heart, was aching with woe,
Still thou vert moving onward thou changeln
year,
And Autumn winds chilled with their sulIer
blast
The hill and the forest, all solemn and dfear,
For Il saddeninu chanGa had n"a- aI .-I

bleaching,
The midnight clock is sounding thy knel,
Let moraIs forget not the lessons thou IT teaching
Thou solemn year, farewell, farewell.

Mr.. CLARKE AT meeting of The Bath Me-
chanic Association held on the evening of Dec
10Th, the following Preamble and Resolutions
passed, almost by unanimous vote, as the re-
suit of several evenings discussion, viz:
Whereas, The practice among Mechanics has
become very prevalent, at the present day, of
employing Apprentices who have left their form,
thus inflicting an injury both upon the master
and the apprentice and whereas the nteectu-
al and moral culture of apprentices, have been
too much neglected and overlooked by Mechan-
ies,-thus producing and raising up class Of mere
novices in the trade instead Of thoroughly scien-
tific Mechanics, therefore
Resolued, That we will pledge ourselves to
make no offer or hold out any inducements what
ever, to apprentices to incline them to leave their
present masters; but on the contrary will use our
influence to prevail upon them to remain during
their minority.
Resolued, That we will pledge ourselves not TO
employ any apprentice who has left his former
master, unless upon examination, we find he has
rood and sufficient reasons for SO doing
Resoinee. That we will endeavor to awaken in
our apprentices a thirst for knowledge; and will
nrovide for them suitable means to acquire it.
Resolred, That we will teach our apprentices,
70 the best of abilities, not only in the prac-
tice of our trade but also the science upon which
its principles are based
By inserting the above in the Telegraph, you
will confer favor upon the Association
