TO Saturday evening, the 10th. The doings of
Monday and Tuesday, (ths last two days of the
SESSION. occupy some ten columns OF Walions
Daily Journa aad in the main are Of no posi-
Ole interest We shall attempt no synopiS Of
them. The only noticeable things that trans.
pred were : thu defeat Of the bill for erecting
nonumen, to William F,ench, (which we re-
grct); the reflections Of our frierd Byron Ste
vcu's bill for railroad fion Essex to Brandon,
(which we do not regret: the rejection Of the
bill ub0lishng the Office Of Superintendent OF

about; the passage Of the Liquor Bill, BY
vote of 81 to sc, which is mighty close rub J !;
the rejection of our friend Wright of Castles
toms succedaneum general Railroad Law,
(Which was well enoUghJ; the rejection OF the
bill 10 annex part Of Richmond to Bolton, by

p,to, ugains. the uni ust and injurious charges
brought against them and the excellent and I'D
nrably managed Institution under their care,
(whereat for the sake Of Or. ROCKWELL than
wnoln we believe better or more ]udlclous
humane, and competent superintendent OF
alch an Institution cannot be found IN the
Juon, and for the sake Of truth and JUSTICE
we are exceedingly rejoiced;) the passage OF
bill altering the MINES OF a number ot disting-
ulshed individuals. (Which is very Important
Act, proving, contrary to the doctrine OF Shaka-
pz4re, that there 10 something in name } the
passage Of tle bill f,rthe preservation Of fish
IL llinesburgh and Sheiburne ponds, (which
places ,hese respectful ponds IN the biggest
kind Of pickle, oal suggests the idea that
it would be better, for pactlcal purposes, to
preserve the said lish IN barrels ); the rejection
O The bill for PROM ting the Interests OF Agrl-
Culture. lwhlcl WAS decidedly wrong, ami unit
for Vermont Legislature to do j the passage

and NJ 4 ,Sl.lanL Secretary DIcNERMAN, for
the admirable manner IN wuich they had dis
CHARGED their duties, which was right and pro-
per, and what Is more, deserved, and if Mesdrs.
Conant and Dckerman had returned thames"
therefor, they would no" be enjoying the Tepu-
t4tlop of having made the best speeches Of the
Session" the passage Of the bill incorporate

draulics being that branch of hydrodynamics
