Great Excitement in the Massachusetts, Legislature
New Speak9-Cwrious Incidents.
81 wish you happy New Year. Now as youknow
how to appreciate that old fashioned salutation, any
further comment is quite unnecessary.
Our city is in perfect fret and fever of anxiety
about the first development Of legislative wisdom,
that shall transpire. The Legislature is now in
solemn session in their respective halls, sweating
and putting in the full tug Of war; Az you will have
seen ere this, the wings have chosen their old clerk,
Cushing; but the august body have not been able to

Seth J. Thomas, dem. are the two candidates.

these digglns. The public veal will stand a good
chance for squeezing, as the parties are so well
balanced that grand potential equilibrium will, un

done, and prevent being done those things that no
body want to have done.
The Senate is organzed complete. Phin w Le-

at Fall River and the region round about, and was
removed by Capt. Tyler; by mistake, undoubtedly,
no man in the full flow of reason would have
done that thing in a cool, deliberate moment.
Why, should as soon have thought of the removal

A very funny incident transpirsd this day at

looking fellow stalked into the Exchange and
stepped up TO an honest faced gentleman and COM

who he was talking about Some one overheard
