 On the morning of tho 3d we were visit ed with something supposed to be slight shock of an earthquake. Houses were sha- ken and windows rattled. We heard two distinct reports, and not relishing the idea of being swallowed up, turned our thoughts upwards, and in the evening listened to 8 very able and interesting lecture on astron- omy delivered in the Conference room by MT. A. H. Bingham, which proved a won- derful mental appetiser. and left us hung ering for more of the same commodity. At the close of the lecture an unanimous vote of thanks was tendered to MT. B. and Q pressing request made, that he would favor us soon with another lecture.

The Judgeship.

One of the most important duties of the present Legislature is that of filling the place left vacant by the death of Judge Hall. If, as heretofore, the convenience of locality is to be consulted, the Naugatuck valley IS clearly entitled to the appointment Hartford or New Haven, is easier of access to more than half Litchfeld County, than North Canaan. the residence of Judge Granger.
 Among the candidates whose names wa hear mentioned for the position our decid. ed preference is for MT. HENRY s. B.Rnorp of Wolcottyille. An excellent lawyer. and a conscientious, upright, and unassumino man, his appointment would be eminently satisfactory to the bar and people of Litch field county. We are pleased to learn tha his chance of being chosen is very good and hope the members from this count, will ensure his election by uniting in hi support

 For the cure of Coughs, Colds, HoarseneSs, Astt- rsa, L.tlnenza, Group, Whooping Cough, Bro"chs- tis, P,edsposaion to Consumption. &c., &c.
 This great remedy is too well known and is per forming too much good to make it necessary to go into an elaborate discussion of it's merits Suf- fee it to say that it still maintains it's supremacy in curing diseases of the most obstinate character and that all who suffer from the above complaints, after having tested this remedy, seldom have Oc- casion to resort to other appliances to insure a perfect restoration to health.
 FROM HoN " H. JONES, of West Dover, Vt.
 CT have been troubled from my boyhood with chronic or hereditary lung complaint. Some years since, early in the winter, took cold, which as usual settled into SeueTe cough, which continued to increase as the season advanced, although l made use of all the cough remedies had knOwl- edge of. My family physician also prescribed for me, but experienced no relief During all this time was gradually running down, losing flesh and strength, until my friends as well as myself became very much alarmed, thinking l should during the Spring following, was induced to try WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY. After one ddy's triaL was sensible that it was relieving me in ten ddys' time my cough had entirely ceased, and I was soon restored to health and strength. I I have ever since kept the; BAIsAM in my house, and whenever any member in my family has a cough or cold, it is immediately resorted to. No FAMILY SHOULD BE WITHOUT 1Tl"

The Legislature,

The interest in the Bridge question now centres in the Senate, and, if our informa- tion is correct, the result probably depends on the vote of Mir. Logan of the l6th Dist: 1 That his personal predelictions are very strong in favor of the Bridge, and that those of his constituents are just as strong the other way, are well known facts. His political friends have always asserted that he was positively pledged against the project before his renomination, and that he could not have been nominated had not such been the case. The vote of Litchfeld County in the House will be found in an- other column; the eastern section general ly favoring, and the western opposing the measure. We are surprised that members from Litchfeld Morris, Bethlehem, Wat ertown and Plymouth should so weakly throw away the last chance for location of the Boston and Erie on the northern route.
 | One of those ridiculous notions that are constantly cropping putin Legislatures was squelched ill the House on Friday. It was seriously proposed to leave the question of judicial reform to a special committee from which lawyers were to be excluded! A slow and expensive system of litigation ruins more lawyers than it does clients. Clay men" can lead comfortable existence with out lawsuits; but lawyers cannot. A re- form is unquestionably needed and the best talent in the Legislature should be brought to bear on the question.
 The system of term fees, or paying law yers premium for delaying cases, is most vicious and absurd one-no more so how ever, than that which allows the successful party twenty five cents constructive att tendance, for each day the court has been in session since his case was brought?
 The movement in favor of abolishing the distinction between Claw" and ssequity" is an excellent one. Justice has been oftener defeated by being turned out of courts of equity because ''there was adequate rem edy at law" or out of courts of law because "relief should be sought in equity" than by almost any other form of technical ob- jection

English. Helm, and Slavery :.

Under the head of ssThe Dying Words of Patriot and Statesman, the New Ha- ven Register parades extracts from the will of the late Governor Helm of Kentucky This gentleman was elected by the Democ- racy, last fall, but blew out his brains died of political grief or something of the kind, before the time came for his inauguration. The will in question was evidently written just before the passage of the Constatu- tional Amendment abolishing Slavery. How much the world lost in Gov. Helm, may be gathered from the following extracts:- l Assuming it as probable that the Government oi the United States, by force and fraud, against and | in contempt of right and justice, of law and the Constitution, State and national and all law, civil or moral, deprive my representatives of their to. | bor, place those who have and may remaln on my places at the disposal of my wife and son John. request that such remain fdlthfaI and obedienl, shall remain in the service of tho family | on such terms as may be agreed on.

 my heart, that He gave that direction to my mind The South conquered; but in my
 firm conviction the North will sooner later learn that they are the whipped party. 1Ae race cf en- nl tone of Hte people s gone; corruption and Ulce rulette hour andMe day The mass of the whole people have lost confidence in the rulers of the Government they place no reliance in it's justice and homer. This is melancholy picture. At last it occurs to this sample of Con- servative piety, that, ''This is an unseem- ly place to introduce my political opin- ions." This does not deter him, however, from commenting his soul to God in the following charitable conclusion:-
 I6eziepe Me Abolaionists, as political pa,ty capabLe of dny c,'inee-possessing no redee,niag quality.
 We have seen nothing in the produc. tions of Petroleum V. Nasby that equals the absurd wickedness and uncharitable- ness of this genuine document.
 Does Governor Helms Connecticut ad- i mirer recollect that what he considers an in. famous Abolition Amendment, was passed by the vote of James D. English? not then a Governor issuing political manifestoes generally attributed to the pen of Mir, Wright, but member of Congress whose humanity was great enough to over rule, for once, his Democracy We verify believe MT. English would never have been Governor of Connecticut but for his mem. orable participation in ''the greatest crime of this or any other age."

 Bishop Odenheimer's charge to the clergy coun. the tciu of God. It also denounced the growing tendency to argue the abstract merits of the law, instead of readily submitting to it. This was un- derstood to refer to the Tyng case.
 Resolutions were offered against innovations in the church worship, especially denouncing mod ern rltualism. An animated debate ensued, and they were rejected by 16 Yeas to 30 Nays of the clergy. and N Yeas and 2S Nays of the laity.

 Dsg@ The Sentinel has acquired Morris correspondent that bids fair to take the place of the late 0. M. H. whose un- timely subsistence we greatly lamentD He falls foul of Impeachment, Nebuchadnez- zer's fiery furnace, and Murray's Grammar in the following style:- s-
 kmust be highly gratifying to every honest, patriotic man, that the President, although he has had cast at him all tho inyectve that malice could invent, which could not have been exceeded for malignity and virulence by the satellites of Satan himself, After consigning him to the gallows so far as fiendishness could, and after his passing the almost fiery ordeal before the United States perse- cuted by the presenting committee to the extent of their powers, duplicating him in all sorts of baseness, venality, cupidity and political turpi- tude. We beheld him emerge from that tribunal unscathed, upright, unhurt and without the smell of fire on his garments" &c. If our Morris friend will read Thurlow Weeds testimony, he will 'tsmel Woolen. :"
