CLOSE or TnE SESSION.

The legislature convened this morning
q, half past six o'clock. The additional ap-
preparation bill. the resolves additional to
the pay roll Of the House and Senate. and
In aid Of the Portland Society Of Natural
History, were severilly passed. which com.
pleted the morning business. The usual
resolutions were offered, and passed, affect.
ing speeches were delivered by the Speaker
OF the House and President Of the Senate.
which were briefly responded TO by several
members Of each branch, and at 5 O'Clock
the hammer fell. and the Legislature Of
Maine closed its thir,y.sishth session after
sitting ninety .ono days.
The session ha, been prolonged beyond
wha, was expected at its commencement.
Thi, delay was unavoidable. An unusual
amount Of business has come before this
Legislature, and business which could not
DO hastily passed upon. There has alec
been the same difficulty that has existed for
some years. that the petitions for special
legislation have been kept back until late in
the session. The present Legislature among
its la.t bulls passed an ac, limiting the time
when petitions for this kind Of legislation
shall be entertainoi. This and the nc, lin
i,ing the session to sevehty.GSe days, have
been important measures in the way Of re-
trenchuent and reform, and will doubtless
meet the hearty approval of the people.
During the session which has just closed,
one hundred and eighty.six acts and ninety
two resolves have passed and received the
official signature Of the governor. OF thee
sixty are general. and one hundred and
twenty.six are special laws.
OF the special acts. twenty.seven relate
to Corporations. twenty to Fire Insurance
Companies and nineteen to Banks. Six
special acts affect tho interest Of Oxford
County, viz:
An Act to incorporate the Oxford Mining
Company; to set OF land from Paris to Nor-
way; additional to an act Incorporating the
