saSEDUcT10N CAsE.--A tragedy at North Adams is undergoing legal investigation. It appears that Miss Martha A. Butler, daughter of the village mer- chant, about 16 years old, was seduced several months ago by MT. Uttlefeld, cashier of the Bank at North Adams, who is married man but boarded in the family during the temporary absence of his Wife. On Saturday, April 24th, while at Little heids house, Miss Butler drank glass of ale On reaching home, she was taken violently sick in a manner that indicated poison and at the end of the week died The physicians testify that she was four or five months advanced in pregnancy The testimony shows that an abortion was produced either on the 30th of April the 1st of May, but whether by these physicians for the purpose of re-
 eving her sickness or by others to hide the seduc ton, IS not clearly shown neither is it clear wheth- CT her death was occasioned by poson by the abor- tion, or by inflammation from other causes. The case s one oi mystery, and exctes deep interest in that usually quiet village. --.'s-.---7r 7r.-s
 The Springfield Republican states that the inves- tigaton by 8 coroner's jury, is revealing new and important features ill the history of the abortion and death, which though not fully developed vet. threat en to involve the mother of the victim, and possi- ply the family physician in the act which contrib uted to, if it did not cause the death.

We have'not felt disposed to meddlc with the South Farms application for a new town, and con- fsss to no very acute feelings the subject but the Committee in the Legislature have doubtless made their decision on the application before this time, cannot resist the temptation to copy the following paragraph from the Hartford correspon- dent of an Eastern paper:
 The Committee on New Towns has commenced tho hearing upon the petition for the division of the town of Litch6eld, and the incorporation of new town uhsrefrom, to be called ' Morristown.' The trial will occupy two or three days, al.d will be fought through the committee and the House. inch by inch. am not particularly acquainted with the facts in this case but at first blush it strikes me that an increase in the number of towns repre- sentei in tho General Assembly, would be decided advantage to the State. I say this from an honest conviction that any change would be an improve sment. There is room for a few more members in the gallery of the House, and it seems too bad that the space should be wasted, and the state lose tho rent Another advantage to be gained ly the .in- corporation of new towns every year, is, that in dew years vote of the Legislature will be equiva- lent to an approval by the people, and amendments to the Constitution need not be submitted to the ppular vote. the House of Representatives itself, polling as large vote as the whole State. It will be much more cheerful for the members. and the savern keepers will enjoy the change greatly.

TIE STATE REFORM ScHooL.-The trustees in their annual report say that of the hundred and sixty six in the school during the past year, twenty th1ce have left the close of their terms two have been discharged as reformed two were discharged by their friends, one &as discharged by the Legislature, one enlisted in the United States service nine have been indentured eight have escaped, and one deceased- say forty have left and hundred and nine teen now remain in the school, and tifty-two are out on indenture.
 They also say that the law making the town fron which each boy is committed responsible for his support. will render the institution yalueess, because towns unwilling to send boys to the school under such circumstances, especially when the offender is only casually in the town at the time of committing the offence. They suggest that the school should not be regarded, as it is under the present law penal institution, but as reforma- most of the juvenile delinquency re- suits from improper parental influence, rather than the inherent vice of the children and that the State duty of protection and education to its youth who are deprived of the care of good fathers and mothers 1t is the proper object of the Reform School to discharge this duty, and hence it is lnis take to regard it as penal establishment.
 The superintendent reports series of tables show ing the statistics of the school since its commence ment, the number of lads sent from each tomn their ages parentage &c. Of the BOA who have been in- mates of the school, A were of foreign percentage, 204 were born in Connecticut, and 36 were colored

1Y The Republican Press in the Western States very generally condemn the action of Massachusetts
 in the amendment to the Constitution of that State which requires two years residence after natural azation before admission do the puwileges of Elec- tors and Gov. Chase, in a communication to the State Central Committee of Oho says it is the al- most unanimous Republican opinion in that State, that no discrimination should be made between cit izens of foreign birth and citizens of native birth
 The one year amendment proposed to the Consti tuition of Connecticut, is not, in our opinion ob- noxioas to the objection which is raised against that In Massachusetts. No citizen of Massachusetts or New York can vote here, until he has been one year a citizen of eur State and there can be no impro pristy in requiring subject of foreign nation like citizenship of year after renouncing his al alegianoe to his European potentate before admis- ssion to all the privileges of native citizens. Of course, there is chance for this amendment being adopted by constitutional majority of the present i1egislature but we are not disposed on that ac- count, and from mere motives of policy, to deny that the amendment would be just and proper.

A very sensible conclusion, we think There are mat tss of State interest enough to occupy the atten- tion of she General Assembly, and the spending Q. week in discussing national politics is simply ri diculeus. The people have defined the position of our State very emphaticaly in the election of four Republican Members of Congress, and our Senators and Representatives at Washington will give allthe expression which is needed. to that position.
