PoIsoNINe.-An extract from letter
from clergyman attending the Presby-
terrain General Assembly at Utica, is
published in the New York papers,
which states that poison had been ad-
ministered to many of the passengers
through what they ate and drank at one:
of the stations of the Michigan Central
Railroad. and the supposition is enter-
tanned that the poison was administered
by some one connected with the gang of
desperadoes recently broken up, or partly
broken up, in Michigan. But how they
could contrive to infuse poison into the
food or drink furnished to passengers at
the place alluded to, it is not easy to UNI
derstand. Is Et.l

LAUGHABLE INc1nENT.-The corres~

story: --..
Among the many laughable incidents
and anecdotes which usually grow out
OF the organization of new Legislature,
l have just been told one which is worth
relating, especially as coming from the
source it does, it must be presumed to be
true, and pretty we'll illustrates the zeal
with which electioneering is sometimes
carried on here. A large, energetic,
mlltary-looking man, this morning met
Rev. Mr.. Judd in the crowd of members
on their way to the State House, and
mlstaking the reverend gentleman for
member. Immediately began, as they
walked along together, to urge upon
him his claims to be made Major Gen.
eral. This was pretty severe test to
the reverend gentleman's peace prlnci-
Piles, but he listened very politely and
attentively to the mans story--the usual
story OF his services to the party &c.
until he finally wound up with direct
appeal to him for his aid and assistance
in the matter. .... -.,

The SCIENCE OF CONC TO BED.--The
earth is magnet. with magnetic currents
constantly playing around it. The hu-
man body is also magnet, and VIXEN
the body is placed in relation to the earth
these bodies harmonize-when in any
other position they conflict. When one
position is to be maintained for some
time, a position should be chosen in
which the magnet currents of the earth
and body will not conflict. This position
is indicated by a theory; known by ex-
pertinent. is to lie with the head towards
the north pole. Persons who sleep with
their heads in the opposite direction, or
lying GROSSLY wise, are liable to fall into
various nervous disorders. When they
go back to the right position, these dis
orders, if not too deeply impressed upon
the constitution, soon vanish. Sensitive
persons are always more refreshed by
sleep when their heads point due north.
Architects, in planning houses should
bear this principle in mind.

As the time fixed upon for the Ceuten-
NAL Celebration of Litchfeh County draws
near, it is proper that she should begin to
look up her stray children, preparatory to
inviting them to the festivities and intel

ONE of the truants; we can only give pro-
file sketch
GEoHE B,f5oLT was born in Norfolk,

sion at the Litchheld Law School, and was
admitted member 3 our bar. After a
few years practice in his native town, he

still resides. In 1922, Mr.. HoIt@Stablsh-
ed, and conducted for three or four years
a democratic newspaper called the "Miami
Republican" In the autumn of 1924, he
was elected member of the Ohio LegisIa>
ture, and was re-elected the following year.
In 1928, '29 and 80, he was member of
the State Senate-and during the year last
mentioned, he was elected Circuit Judge
for the term Of seven years. At the ses-
sion of the Legislature in 1912, he was
again elevated to the Bench.
In 1880, Judge Holt was member of

THE LEGISLATURES.


This body is now in the fourth week of

minor Importance has been brought for.
ward and referred to appropriate COM
mitiS out no final action has been had
on any matter of public interest. Pro-
badly during the next week, /" the order
of business" will assume a more tanpible
shape, and we shall find something worth
reporting. Ordinarily, every bill comes
up before each branch of the legislature
three or four times. We do not think it
advisable. as a general thing, to report
the reference" the ''laying on the ia
blc." and the first, second and third read
ing, of everything that is brought for>
ward. The final action of either House,
in regard to all subjects about which we
think, our readers may wish to know, we
shall make it point to publish,
Seventeen new Banks have been petit
toned for, viz, one in each of the fol-
lowing places, w Woodbury., Bridgeport,
New Haven, New London, New Britain,
Groton, Stonington, Madison, Guilford,
Kill lingly, Seymour. Bethel, Westport,
Clinton, Middletown, and Southport
and six Banks have petitioned for an in
crease of capital. We see no movement
made towards establishing new banking
institutions in Litch6eld and Winsted, as
it was rumored there would be.
Thursday of this week has been fixed
upon fer the election Of a United States
Senator. on the part Of the House Of
Representatives. This is one of the most
important (perhaps the most importantly
trust committed to the present Legisla-
ture. We hope to: see the wLig MEM
bers unanimous in support of the regu>
lar candidate of the party, whoever he
may be. Let no Beekma1s or Cleveland
gamesters mar the harmony of their de-
alterations, and a true Wing Senator will
represent Connecticut in the higher
branch of our National Councils during
the next six years.
The miserable Tax Law of the last
General Assembly will of course receive
attention during the session. Its repeal
Or essential modification is loudly deman>
ded by the people.
The project of General Banking Law
seems omeet with little favor, and will
undoubtedly receive its quietus. Sew
'er4 Ethiopian schemes recommended by
His Excellency, we trust will meet with
similar destiay-among which are.
law regulating the hours of labor, and the
abolition Of capital punishment.
The Governors suggestion relative to
amending and simplifying the phraseol,
ogy of our statute laws, is worthy Of spe.
cial consideration. The senscless jargon
of repetition which characterize our legal
forms, and the laws themselves, would al
most disgrace the pages of Ralph Waldo
Emerson. A Convention, composed of
practical, common sense men, with four
or five lawyers (and no mors) Of the right
stamp, among them, woull relieve our
statute book Of the lingo complained of.
The homestead exemption project,
with proper safeguards for the prevention
of fraud, we think favorably of, and have
heretofore given our reasons for so think
ing.

ATHEIsTIe ABoL1T1oNIsM.-We find in
the report of the sayings at the recent
Abolition meeting in Syracuse. N. Y.
the following, said to have been uttered
by "Mr. Wright, of Boston," We
presume it must be the language Of Hen
'ry G. Wright, once Congregational
minister in West Newbury, but long
since an apostate from the faith. 1t af-
fords melancholy illustration of the
downward tendency of the course Of
reasoning adopted by the ultra Abolition
lists Of our country:
Mr.. Wright Of Boston, said he wished
to speak on the present aspect of the
slavery question. Amongst other things
he said fit We're asserted that the Bible
sanctioned slavery. he would saw the
Bible was a lie. If it was said that God
sanctioned it, he would say there was no
God, and he would leave the priesthood
to settle the question whether he was
called upon to reverence the Bible more
than the Constitution. He would not do
1t; and If he was asked to reverence God
more than man he would demur. because
he thought the ouly way to reverence
God, was for man TO love his brother =
He judged Of mans reverence for truth
justice. and for Ged.by his reverence for
humanity. lie feared nothing for etern.
ity. Let his name be written down ON
the record of antiquity, as one that was
loved and reversnced by his brother. and
he would abide the consequence. III

Gs- The last number of the Hartford
Weekly Times contains private letter ad-
dressed to the editor ofthis paper, request
ing some democratic votes for the 18th
District with the name of VIM. w. WEIGH
substituted for that of Fitch Ferris. With
characteristic display Of italics and capt.
tails, the editor of the Times would fain
have its readers believe that the letter re-
veals an awful attempt to DEFRAUD the de
mocracy out of Senator! The facts are
simply these: The votes in question were
sent for atthe urgent request Of democrats
aOho desired to cote for DIR. Welch-and
the a0ish that they should be printed "like
the democratic tickets" originated also
Nth those democrats. The reason for
this request will appear obvious by what
follows. DIR. WEIGH being very popular, es>
pecially in the northern part of his District,
several members Of the opposition express
ed, Immediately after his nomination, their
determination to vote for him. This being
known by both wings and democrats before
the election, we received more than one
order for tickets to be used by these voters.
Here is one from an active democrat in Ca>
naan, which was in the same pile Of letters
with the one stolen, but which, as it would
not so well answer the purpose ofthe thief
and his abcttors, was left behind, XII
Canaan, I'd Appil, 81.

for me Is or 90 democratic State Tickets

who will vote the ticket, and others would

In order TINT the DOCTORS personal friends
may vote for him as quietly as possible,
it would be well TO have the tickets resens-
Die the regular democratic .sicSet. :
Send them in season without fail, and
will see you paid. Truly yrs, -.
As to there being any ATTEMPT at fraud
in this matter, on the part of either wings
or democrats, the insinuation is false. The
result shows that in the three northern
towns Of the district, DR.. Welch stands be-
tween thirty and f6rty votes better than
our candida'e;for Governor. '''.
