STATE NORMAL sCHooI.

The present term will close on the 27th of March The Summer term will begin on the 18th of April, and continue If weeks. Persons intending to enter should send their certificates to the Principal, at least two weeks before the commencement of the term. Pupils are received only at the beginning of term, and they are ex- pected to- remain through the term upon which they enter. The attendance this term is larger than it has ever been at any previous period. Tine demand for teachers who have been educated at the Normal School, is greater than can at present be supplied. A large class of gentlemen will be needed to go into first class schools early in the autumn, and those who wish to fit themselves for such places, will do well to attend during the summer and fall terms.

CONGRESS-.

The last session of the Thirty-tlird Con- gross expired by limitation on Sunday, the 4,h of March. The Senate closed its ses- sion beforn daylight, but the House trans acted business until the noon of Sunday.
 The usual amount of excitement and con- fusion attended the closing hours. All the Appropriation bills were carried. The Bounty Land or Old Soldiers bill re- cefvoa tho Executive sanction, although it was very bitter pill to the Presiaen, and his party; probably two hundred millions of acres, under that act, will go to the peo- pie, nine-tenths of whom reside in the old States.
 The President retained and pocketed sev- eral Internal Improvement and Harbor bills. Tho Pacific Railroad bill was lost in the House.
 Senator Toucey's bill for the better en- forcement of the Fugitive Slave Act, whicl, came in direct contact with State Sovereign ty, sleeps the sleep of death.
 The appropriation for the Collins mail steamers was finally passed in both Houses after striking out the clause taking away the power to discontinue the appropriation on giving six months notice. The vote was unanimous in the Senate, and, we believe nearly unanimous in the House. Mir. Hunt of Louisiana, (dem. denounced the veto in the most indignant terms.
 The Compromise Passenger bill was car ried through both houses, butthe Presidents decision ,hereupon is not yet known
 The Tariff remains in statu quo. Allthe Pennsylvania Whigs and Gen. Dawson, democrat, distinguished themselves in op- position to any disturbance of the Tariff.
 It is understood tha, the Texas Creditors bill, appropriating s7,75O,oOo to pay the debts of Texas, has been signed. @.
 The New York Assay bill, or Mint mea- sure, was triumphantIy carried through.
 Both Houses have passed bill requiring the prepayment of the postage of all letters after the first of January, 1856. It provides likewise, for the registration of all letters containing money or drafts.

I, has been hinted by certain par,ies and

It has been hinted by certain parties and presses opposed to our new mayor that his .sreforms'' would never reach the Lottery Policy dealers, for whom (so slander said) he had fellow feeling. The insinuation seems to have been underseryed as the re- form crusade has at length reached this ne- farious class, and several of them have been arrested and committed.
 The death of Judge Edwards of the Su- preme Court has occasioned profound sen- sation among the profession here. Although the youngest Judge on the bench (his age was 46,) he was one of the most respected members of our judiciary. He was re- markedly fine looking man and was notified for the jignifed courtesy with which he dis charged the duties of his office. His yene- able uncle, who retired from the bench many, years ago, still survives. He must be nearly ninety years of age.
 Tine prohibitory liquor law still sticks in the State Senate. When it will emerge from the hands of the select committee, it is impossible to say. Powerful interests are at work against it, and may defeat it. Such an event is possible, hut not probable.
 Before the close of the week we shall have more than half the members of both houses of Congress among us. Congressman from all sections of the Union consider it incum bent upon them to visit the Empire City be- fore going home to render an account of their doings to their constituents.
 . After the federal representatives will come the ''collective wisiom'' from Albany who have been invited by the Ten Governors of the aims house to come and examina onr charitable institutions ct celina ct celeie. The quantity of axes expected to be ground during their stay is immense.

E Resolred, That the action of the President of he United States in veioing the River and Ha,bor bill, and the French Spoliation bill. was an exefcse of veto power not con,empla. led by the Constr luton, and sTeceives the un. qualified condemnation of the Whig party of this State.
 Reseired. That the < Act for the Ssppres. sion of Intemperance," passed al the last session ofthe Legislature of this State, meets oar approximation. and it's beneficial seffect in diminishing crime and promoting the peace and happiness of The people of the State, is everywhere apparent aud we would in no respect advise any modification ocshe same, by which ns efficiency should be impaired.

 Resoired, That we have full confidence in HENRY DurrcN. and the other State Officers nominated this day, and will give them our hearty support.
 The committee to nominate State and County Committees reported the following:

We learn by the pAinesville (Ohio) Tel egraph, that two classes of people in that village undertook to raise fends for the re- lief of thepoor. One held a dancing par ,y in the evening and raised $75; the o,h- CT. whose conscientious scruples prevented their attendance where dancing was part of the exercises, appointed a committee to receive contributions in the afternoon, and the amount received consisted of Sl in money, two pieces of pork, and lbs. of butter.
 In the II. s. District Court at New Haven, Hdson Balcom, late Ticket Master at Willi- mantic, has been sentenced to imprisonment for seven years and three months for robbing the mail. There were three counts in the indictment against him, and he put in a plea ofga;liy on each of them. He might have been sentenced to ten years on each coRat, hut lighter sentence was given in conse- quenes of his previous good character. p
 The steamer Star of the West, from San Juan, arrived at New ' osk on Sunday even. ing bringing, advices from California to the ssl. inst, and S65O,ooo in gold.
 Bishop Reeze, native bora citizen of Michigan, who visited Rome by order of the Pope, last summer, has not returned. The Metropolitan Catholic Almanac for 1855 advertises him as having "re.ired" It is thought he is confined in a dungeon in Rome. A rsvoiusioaary feeling and desire fur independence are, 1t is said, increasing very rapidly in Australia. Isais even expected by some Of the papers that the next in,elli. gence yuay be thai of an outbreak.

By playing that it was for 'bathing purposes the apofhccsry was induced to sell the article, but he put in 'antimony,' telling his cus- toner that it was necessary addition, but the latter thought it was only talk, and s.saightway returned to his comrades by whom the liquor was drank.

 Wednesday lass, says the Amenia Times, under siagalar circumstances. It was dis patched 10 CoIemaa's Ssatioa for the pur- pose of towing two broken locomotives that were there down the road for repairs, but just as it approached the station it mel the freight train coming down, and fearing a collision, the engineer reversed the engine and both he and tho fireman jumped off, Foffnnately tic distance of few feel sa- ved the expected concussion, but there be- ing full head of steam on the locomo- tive it commenced backing with great ra- pidity, and before the engineer or fircmen could get up the embankment down which they had throw. themselves, off it went 9ufling steam, and backing as though mad ness possessed it. There was no use try ingt to stop it-chasing it did no good, for it paid no kind of attention. Tl,e grade was descending for miles, and it run like mad. The folks at Sharon Station stuck outtheir eyes some as they saw it screech- ing and whizzing teriaically by them, dri- -veress and unattended. The steam was nearly exhausted when it reached Amenia, hut it passed the station, and was stopped by man in the vicinity of Hustcd's pond. Ifsit had been unmolested,' the descent of the grade wonld undoubtedly have carried tito Wassaic.
