After debate which consumed most Of the

table to be taken up on future day.
In the House Mr.. Denby's bill to enable
Common Councils of cities to prescribe the
time Of making assessments, was referred back
by the committee, and the bill engrussed.-
Aresolution in relation to changing the pres

fund was lost.
The vote by which bill was passed. re-
quiring ten days' residence Of voters IN the
wards of cities before voting. was reconsider
ed, and the bill laid on the table, it is being
regarded as unconstitutional.
A bill fixing the salary Of county Treas
inrer caused some discussion in the House, the
,memi,ers from the different counties not
knowing what their Treasurer did receive -
The wide difference of opinion in a matter
that is capable of being reduced TO a certain
.ty, only shows bow much the State needs a
Bereau of Statistics. The joint resolution
declaring it unconstitutional and inexpedent
for the State to take back the Wabash and
Erie Canal was passed. Ayes 80, noes o.

was indefinitely postponed.

weeks is again busy in his Office, attending to
the calls of his numerous friends. The doc
tor is now the oldest practitioner in his pro-
fession in the city, and if experience and prac-
tice are valuable, he has ths advantage. A
friend has shown us one Of the doctors full
sets. which for strength, neatness and natural.
ness OF appearance, is quite equal to the work
from the great emporiums.
