Fhe Legislature.


Tuesday Of last week, ordered to third
reading By vote of ll9 to 90. Tho
bill was then made ;aa special order for
Tuesday, tho 10th inst.
We Lrlieve that the vote for the pas.
sage of the bill will be smaller than tho
vote to cngross it, and it may fail alto.
gcther, unlosa amended.
A bill has been introduced punishing
the offender who sells liquor, f1r the
third offence, by death. Also bill pro.
hibising women aud children Of ten.
der age" from visiting" cOyasr groceries
and bowling alleys"
A large number Of villages have ask
cd for Gas light companies to be incor-
porated, owing probably to the satisfac
tion the mcmbers enjoy while at Mont.
policr, in receiving the benefit Of gas.

crease the capital of the Bank of l.yn-
don $4,000, has passed the House.

County Court, and making our practice
like that of all the New England States
save Vermont, haa passed the House by
= large majority, Mr.. Elmunds, of
Burlington, making we learn very
handsome speech in its favor. This will
do much to prOvcut protrao.ed aud cost
ly litigation.
y bill to tax Bank Stock one pr. cent,
has passed t, Sd reading in the House
by Yea aud Nay vote. This is sup
posed to be put in as an Offset to The hill

will doubtless be that DO tn will pass, or
both be abandoned.
The bill creating a Board of Educa.
tiou, one elected by each County, has
passed tho Senate Its fate in the House
will be doubtful.
The bill repeating the State appropri-
alton to County Agricultural Societies

road men, but is likely TO pass.

likely to succeed Of any. The Fairfax
Bank bill has boen dismissed in the
House.
n bill requiring persons injured Oh
highways to give notice of suit in TWEEN
~ days thereafter. elected we see BY

to be its champion, and the bill passed
l4l to rs.
A bill allowing every freeman to prac
tlce law at the County Court bar has
been introduced in The House.
