the machinery for crushing the cane,

the River. The Connecticut Shad
caught here have notoriety over the
whole country.
"Roll on loved Connecticut; long hast thou ran,
Giving sAaa to the Senators and freedom to man"
The shad appear in market and the
Connecticut legislature assemble at the
same season of the year. The SaUans
are very fond of the shad. At the open
ing of the session, when the representa-
tives first appear at the breakfast table
at the hotels, the servants ask each
of the law makers, (which will you
have tea or coftees" The answer in all
cases with gusto, is "Shad-SAad!"-
Hence these Solons are called by the
bods Old Shads.
