The seversljoint committees will be ANNOUNCE
ed to day. 4 large number ofthe senators of
tyear were reelected, (ffteen) which secures,
to them substantially the places which thew
held at the last session, or a promo
ton. The new members must properly take
the less conspicuous and important places.
D 1t is difficult task for the President of the
Senate or Speaker to make up his committees
with equal justice to ALL Some persons are
more persistant than others, and are not slow in
making their ambition or wishes known per-
sonally or through some friend to the appoint
ed power, Not few are better known ut first,
while the last Of the session brings to favora-
BILE notice the more retiring and modest Tho
Presiding officer is unable after few days ac-
quaintance to form anything like correct opin-
ion OF the relative worth of a Senator or Rep
resentative, consequently mistakes are frequent-
ly made. President Burpee and Speaker Bark

doubt, present satisfactory list for the several

There appears to be general desire to in
crease the salary Of our Governor. An order
was introduced into the House yesterday to re-
fer the subject to a committee consisting Of
one from each delegation. The present salary
nsidered by all as entirely inadequate.
Just now there is no excitement. The topics
which appear to receive the most ATTENTION in
general conversation are the railroad interests
of the State. We anticipate there will be con-
siderable discussion on this subject, and such
practical action as will secure to the State
satisfactory results. The State has in both
branches representatives who are well instruct
ed in railroad matters and will bring to the
discussion research and Judgment.

pencils are reliable. Faber himself must be
first cousin to the reliable gentleman" of whom
readers have often heard. Faber labors under
the disadvantage Of being foreigner. Three
American Germans (the best kind Of Germans)
have undertaken the business of manufactur-
ing American pencils out of American plum
bago and American wood. For this purpose
they have built factory in Hudson city, N. j.
where they employ 175 men, and manufacture
300 gross of pencils every day except Sunday.
Believing that their pencils would command
the home mraket, they have invested four mill
lions in the undertaking. Also, they have sue
ceeded. Their pencils are, SO far as we can
Judge, as good as Fabers; some people say bet

: CORRECTION. y We are requested by Mr.
Foster to say in relation to the accident that
occurred to him as stated in the Press Of yes
that he was ascending the hill when he saw the
driver of the frightened horse thrown from his
load and the horses at the top OF their speed
rushing directly towards him. He turned his
horse into an open space between two houses
but, in an instant, the frightened horses were
upon him, striking him in the back with SO
much force as to throw him completely from
the sleigh. He was quite stunned by the
blow but succeeded in retaining his hold upon
his own horse who had become nearly unman-
ageable. His sleigh was considerably damaged.
b j. I. Emery, Esq. of this city, was a few
rods in advance of Mr.. F.; he succeeded in
saving himself by instantly putting his horse
