DEAR SIR:-A bill to amend the Law regulating
bills of exceptions before justices Of the peace.
occupied the time of the House. after The prsssn~
tation of petitions, reports ofcommittses, &c.
Various bills for interpretations, and some gem
eral laws were passed.
It may seem to some Of my readers that but few
acts Of importance are being passed upon BY this
Legislature; but when it is reflected that . bill re-
pealing the black laws. a bill exenpting . home
stead from levy and sale, and a bill calling . con;
v~ention to amend the constitution will all. most

DEAR SIa:-A discussion to-day OF considers
BILE length grew upon a bill for the relief Of ows
ship treasurer, in Green county. Il appears thst
the treasurer had received from the Bank Of xs-
mia. Si75 of The funds of the Bank Of Wooster,
belonging to The school funds Of his township, and
that the Bank of Wooster failed the day after he
received the money. The objection 10 granting
relief was that it was probable that the Bank OF
Xenia knew that the Wooster Bank was going
down, and paid GU, the monsy to secure hselffrom
loss. Tho principle involved was whether rslisf
should be afforded to treasurers having ia their
hands uncurreM funds. i hold that where the pee
ole through their agents or REPRESENTATIVES, make
! circulating medium Of paper, that they should
bear he loss and not saddle Il on o single individ.

created by the people, so long ought freassrsss
