 Mir. Treat of Bridgeport has taken things with great good nature during the session but does not seem to haye felt as much as some others the necessity for ain .industri ous or short session. Some dissatisfaction has been expressed at the delays in busi ness before the judiciary committee of which he was the chairman, partieniarly ii, the p0stponing to so late 3 day in the ses. sion the important reports on Judiciary rc- form and the law of divorce. 3fl HaaaisEcz

 Norfolk sent to the House this year the Hon. W. W. Welch, formerly member of Congress from the fourth district. He has served upon the railroad committee. where there has, been active work to be done from the begining. He is Q man fifty years of age, of remarkably fine presence, and is a good speaker, though he has occupied but 2 small portion of the time of the House. Ills speeches have been short-the longest was on the majority report in the parallel road case-but what he says is we II put to-. gether and commandaattention.,A Attention to legislative duties appears to be. one of hls strong points.

 Dr. Beckwith, of Litchfeld, is pretty we'll known in Democratic circles through out the state, and has had considerable legislative experience,.all of which he has, treasured up, and can note precedents pro and con with facility. He has made no set speeches. but has spoken. as occasion re- quired,. more in the way of suggestion, however, than. of argument. He is a ven erable appearing man, pleasant spoken. and certainly has made no enemies during the session. ~ ai SOS asnodg Is39srss giw ~ .9obns aslt PLINY L. BARTON. ....ssaa(4 ] Mir. Barton is one 1.-the representatives from Salisbury, which town this year has no cause of complaint in the matter of out spoken representatives,. He is emphatical- ly an ertempose speaker and few questions have come up for discussion in which he sf sgesssk s @ase ssss sesss;csI tsra sss4e .a his arguments many, times which win him the respectful attention of the House. He IS evidently strong party man, an ilnwa- vering supporter of I" Democracy" and would hardly dodge g hairs breadth for fear of being considered inconsistent. But Connecticut has had many worse legislators than Mir. Barton. .siAs" t gsnaee eenss
 MT. Barton of Salisbury, has had views of his town on almost all questions, and has not lacked vigor in expressing them; but he IS a very clear headed as we'll as obsti- nate man, and has been about right more than half the otime.-Ha,yord Post] ao.l -9 E ral 0aas ERAsTUs D. GOODWIN. ,aao sl 6 This gentleman is Mir. sBarton's collea- que. He is a man of active mind. and re- duces all his speeches to writing, being un-. willing apparently to let single idea es- cape him. Some affection of the throat makes his speech broken, and he can hardly be heard in all parts of the hall when making; the strongest effort. His speeches read welfare argumentative, though perhaps a little too prosy; but could he havea a foreibIe delivery the House would attentiyely list en to him. "sf

 Nav Milford sends man. man, in Mr. HilI who will see to it that the interests of his pc ople are well looked after, and. will also preserve the purity of Democracy, on all occasions. He is ready talker and plaus- ible one. Not" unreasonabiy exactingI in his demands upon the time of the House, yet he hastaken part in snearly all of the extended debates of the session, and has exerted considerable influence sA'1 So

 Mir. Nickerson is, in some respects, the Demosthenes of the House; muscular man with lungs in propoftion, he, suffers no exhaustion in the activity of his gesticnia- tions,. nor encounters any difficulty in throwing his voice to the innermost reces- ses of the chamber. He can be oheard in spite of rolling teams over, the stony paves which surround the State House. His im- agery is like the roaring waters of Niagara ---and it ipours itself out in immense vol ume and color, be the subject never So dry and uninteresting. As a stump speaker, before crowd of political enthusiasts, he would wins terrific aplaudits.dt oooados sza sevass ep---- -=+sss.-. -+sss.-. . : ,. --e;aGa < As. s5 ANtEKCITING BALLOON TRIP. b slsw tsaa 8 baa alsoI--rr4 gA bad E aaogf a,l, FROM BUFFAFo TO THE ALLEGHANY MOUNTAINS
