 I attended their Weda-wa.timba,"
 (spring festivaD March the 21st The day was spent in gambling. racing horses. and playing ball. At night they all as. sembled in their "sweat-house," built 1 huge fire, and danced till morning. They have variety of dances. Music is vocal usu- ally. This time they drummed on hollow log. Dressed in natures attire. with head dress of eagles feathers and bears' claws, they presented grotesque appearance. The |" Capttan" presided, dressed in buck . skin. beautifully embroidered with silk braid, claws of bears, and eagles pinions. Around his neck he wore an immense chain of beads, shells. and gold quartz. The ex- ercises commenced withea war dance, the dancers forming in circles around the Cap- itan and the fire. He had in his hand acorn meal-a portion from every family of the tribe. This he sifted in the fire, at the same time singing the war-song. This dance lasted forty minutes. the Capitan, in the mean time, singing, sitting meal in the fire, and drinking soup from each bask- ct. kept count and found he drank ten times out of each of the six dishes. making sixty drinks in forty minutes. handed him "nsy hat," but he was too m odest to take it, and quietly laid himself out for snooze After this. general hilarity pre- vailed till morning. Their language is very sweet, and more musical than the French, if possible. accented on the last syllable, composed of few words, and can be easily translated. Many words they use are of Spanish origin. and find lan- guage in the Mountain countries fearfully mixed. The inhabitants being composed of all municipalities, try to speak every tongue, and the confusion is equal, I ima- zine, to that mentioned in the Bible. I hope my readers will have patience with my ramblings from my subject, fishing ex- cursiens, Sc. The truth is, there are so many subjects and objects of interest to me, I can scarcely confne myself to sin gle one. I reached home safely with my fish, distributed them among my friends. and after few days recuperation, made the ascent Of Lassens Peak, of which I will speak in my next letter.

The Legislature, in 1915. had authorized the Court to appoint Reporter, and had given him salary. Under such an ap- pointment, MT. Day had commenced pub. fishing the Connecticut Reports. and had published three volumes of them, when he published the fifth of Day, thus filling the gap between the fourth of Day and the first of Connecticut. The N Y. Reports, by Caine and Johnson, down to the 18th of Johnson, and twelve volumes of the Mas sachusetts Reports, were out, and these, with our own Reports, were about all the American authorities which were cited in our Courts. Not single American ele- mentary work had then been published, except Swift's System and Swift's Ev.- dence. The English Reports from Bur rows down, including Douglas, Cowper's, Term, and East's Report, down to the 18th volume, with Blackstone's Commentaries, which were always on tho table. were the staple authorities of the times. I remark in passing, that Judge Reeve said that he considered Cowper's Reports the best that had then been published of the decisions of the Court of Kings Bench.

FIFTY YEARS AT THE LITCHFIELD
 COUNTY BAR
BY CHARLES F. sEDaw1oK. ESQ.
III.
ADMISSION TO THE BAR.

ADMISSION TO THE BAR.
 When I came to the bar in 1820 there were two grades of lawyers in the State. The first admission only authorized the candidate to practice at the county court, and service of two years was required at that bar before he was allowed an examin- ation for admission to the bar of the Supe- rior Court; and was at the bar of the County Court for Q year or more in expec- tation of undergoing another ordeal in the upper Court In the meantime the stat utes of the State had been revised under the superintendance of Judge Swift and many and material alterations had been made to conform the provisions of the law to the new order of things under the con stitution. The question came before Judge Mainard and he decided that under the re- vised statutes an admission to the bar of the County Court gave the candidate au- thority to practice in all the Courts in the State. and that decision was assented to by all the judges.
 The matter of examining candidates for admission to the bar was. in those days,a an imposing solemnity, and the day for that proceeding was marked day of the term. All the members of the bar were expected to be present and few failed of attending. The committee of examination was occupi- ed the judges seats; the chairman holding the place of the Chief, Judge, indicating to each separate member of the committee the subject in which he was expected to examine the candidate, and thus thorough and searching examination was had. After the examination was closed the candidates retired, and the members of the bar gave their opinions seriatin on the question of the admission of the applicant. Sometimes candidates were rejected. It had been the practice in early times to have an enter tainment at the close of the examination; at the expense of the successfullcandidates, bat this had been dispensed~with when I was examined. Stories were told of some eminent members of the bar who, on such occasions, ,indulged in practices which were not creditable to their reputation for tenn perance and sobriety. Perhaps. it was for this reason that the practice was abol- ished.

PRACTICE.

Statutory provisions and the advance of legal science, as we'll as more just sense of what is due to the best interest of liti- gants, have made great changes in the course of proceedings before the Courts, during the last fifty years. Then, it was customary for counsel to take advantage of any trivial omission which could be found in tbe proceedings, and case never came to trial until every possible effort for abatement or delay, had been exhausted. Our Statute in relation to amendments had not then received SO liberal construc- tion, nor was it in itself so liberal in it's provisions as it now is, and thus opportu- nity was afforded for the display of much ingenuity in the prosecution of dlatory pleas.
 Then, there were TO statutory provisions relating to injuncti6ns. All the power which the Court had in that matter being that with which it was invested by the common law as Court of Equity, and hence, very little will be found in our Re. ports on this subject, until about 1926, af ter the Statute authorizing the judges to grant temporary injunctions had beer passed. This Statute was introduced into the Legislature by Judge Swift. who was member for several sessions after his re tirement from the bench. Since then many cases relating to this branch of in risprudence, have been before our Courts
 Probably more than .half the suits com menced in our County Courts, fifty year ago, were brought to enforce the collection of debts, and in some localities this was g lproftable. business. The County Cour then had jurisdiction in all cases wher, the matter in demand exceeded the sum o fifteen dollars, and this brought into it great number of suits now tried by singl F justices, and accounts for the great diminu tion in the number of cases now brough here.
 Piles of learning were devoted to de struction by the edict of the legislature admitting parties and other persons in in terest to be heard as witnesses. The nices land most refined legal questions were fire quently brought before the Courts for de cision in matters relating to the interest o witnesses, but now they are almost forgot ten by the most learned of the profession
 THE AUTHORITIES THEN IN USE. The Statutes then in force were the Re vision of 1908, by far the most elaborate and complete of any ever published. I contains complete history of the legisla tion of Connecticut on all subjects of stat utory enactment from the first, and is stil a useful book for study by the profession The principal labor of it's preparation fol publication was performed by Thoma. Day.
 Comparatively few American authorities were cited in our Courts, then. Mir. Da, had published four volumes of Days Re ports, and then had suspended furthe, publication for want of encouragement

away with slow and dignifed step, show ing that all they want is to be let alone.
 Their food is in great part vegetable, and
 they have not, therefore, the blood thirsty
 disposition of many of the strictly carniv-
 erous animals. So many accounts of their
 ferocious depredations had been published
 that had formed an erroneous opinion of
 them, and feel I owe them an apology. l do not wish to be understood
 that I would like them for playmates,
 only say consider them as harmless as any animal when undisturbed. When pur- sued the law of self preservation demands that they should defend themselves; when hungry, that they should kill the first OK or sheep that can be found, which is noth- ing more nor less than is done by man. And in these days of all being ''born free and equal" I advise the latter to cast his eye about him, and with his great amount of charity and iberality surely he can find more sagacity and intelligence in what are now termed wild animals than in the mix cd conglomerations of miscegenated Me- groes, Indians, Ohinamen, &c. Now don't understand me to say am against the Eff tesnth Amendment. Oh no, only want it extended, even to woman, if the wise body that framed the Fifteenth Amend. ment can conscientiously discern wherein she is considered to be free and equal. Enough of this minor theme then, will leave it to demagogues and tuln off to the nobler creations of God. The eagle, the emblem of the United States, adopted when love of country exceeded love of self is quite numerous here. They are en- couraged by the settlers on account of their destruction to the ground squirrel and gopher, by which this country is infested. It is very seldom they attack any of the domestic animals, although they undoubt- edly will destroy lambs or fowls. Nothing but the empty honor of killing an eagle ever tempts person to shoot one.
