10 me Editor Of the Spy: The following letter

inns may be of interest to the public, and
therefore place it at your disposal. c.E.s.
Dear Sir: Some little time since | received
from you letter of inquiry to the following eff.
feet:
Do the inventories in the Worcester county
probate Office of estates of $4,000 and upwards
frequently include savings banks deposits2

results:

inventories, including those of executors, adj
ministrators, trustees and guardians.
OF this number only Sc show personal proper
ty to the amount of $4,000 and upwards; and of
the Sc only 30 include savings banks deposits.
Inc total amount OF these deposits is $780,
osl'5S, or an average of $4,000 nearly to each es.
tate.
Inc smallest amount in any one of these es-
tates is s2S7 80 in an estate Of 500 s87 and the

The New Congress.

The list of members Of the new congress is
not yet complete as Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire, California and Texas have not elected
their representatives The seats In the senate,
however, are all filed, except one from West
Virginia, and it is said Mr.. Clayton of Arkansas
and MIR. Acorn of Mississippi decline to accept
their seats, that the regularity of the election of
Mr.. Blodgett of Georgia is disputed, although
no other person claims the seat, and that the
seats of Vance of North Carolina and Hamilton
of Texas are contested. The senate of course
contains seyenty-four members, two from each
Of the thirty-seven states. OF these, fitteen-as
the list now stands-are democrats and fifty
eight republicans; eighteen are new members
and ffty-five sat in the last senate.
In the house, out Of 287 members already
elected, 95 are democrats and 142 republicans;
112 are new members and 1876 sat in the last
house; l4O are lawyers, thirty-two merchants or
bankers, seven teachers, fifteen farmers or Plant
ers thirteen editors, few doctors, one minister,
several manufacturers, and two or three brokers,
some whose occupation is not noted, and few
more marked in the list we have consulted as
ex NJ C.'s. The list from which these minutes
are drawn is not entirely accurate, but probably
there are not a great many errors. The lawyers
generally are more numerous in the delegations
from the western and southern states, except
q few of the latter where the proportion
of colored votes is largest. In these
teachers supply, to some extent, the place Of
lawyers. Every member from Maryland is
lawyer. OF the editors, four are from New
York, and three from Pennsylvania, while Iowa
sends two editors among her six members, a
larger proportion than any other state The
merchants, manufacturers and bankers, come
chiefly from Massachusetts, New York and
Pennsylvania, though of Wisconsin's delegation
of six, two are merchants aud one is banker,
and one of Minnesota's two is a merchant. |
Twelve seat, its now reported, will be contested.
The four states where the election has not been |
held elect fourteen members.

In the province of New Brunswick, few days
ago, there was a change of ministry, and the
announcement of the new government was fol-
lowed by discussion in which the language
used was even less restrained by conventional
ties and what are generally considered, perhaps
in difference to old-fashioned prejudice, the pro-
prieties of speech, than that heard in congress
when General Butler and Mr.. Farnsworth amuse
the house by discussing each others personal
and public character. The new government was
formed by coalition of leading men on both
sides of the house, and those Of the former OPP
position who were left out IN the new programme
naturally felt sore at being, as they thought de-
serted and outwitted. Mr.. Cough elegantly re-
ferred to the reinstated members of the former
ministry as clinging to office "by subterfuge OF
trick, OF by bringing from the other side traitors
to assist them to fat and glut on the drippings
of the state" Another member cal ed the new
ministers "double-dyed traitors" "assassins" an6
towards" Mr. Cough stigmatized the head Of
the government as "spy and Judas" guilty
of deception worse and more vile than the ser
pent in the garden" and said CHS blood should
rot in his veins, his soul be devoured by the
worm that never dies and cankers in the breast -
The ms bore this out5urst of temper from the
outs very calmly. Such language did not seem
to trouble them at all, and we infer that it is
common in that assembly. 1t is apparently moi
a good school of legislative decorum.

as,7OO,OOO

This will seem large bill, but TO those who
have looked at it, the net result is small COM
pared with what was tried.
At the beginning of the present session, there
were on the speakers table, having passed the
senate, twenty-three railroad and other land
grant bills, calling for not less than 75OO6,3 2O
acres. On the senate calender at the beginning
of the present session were thirty two bills, of
which twenty-three were for railroads, eight for
river improvements and canals, and one for an
Atlantic steamship line; altogether they called
for ia, 800 acres.
These bills, those that got TO the house. and
those that remained in the senate, together
called for 1s9, 224 $40 acres. Of this huge total
only 387600O0 acres have been granted. This
is about one-ffth of the whole and is designed
chiefly to complete the sectional or geographical
features Of the inter-continental system the
republican party first organized. But am not
right in saying that it is well we have reasona-
bic hope that the ledger will now be posted, the
balance struck, and the account closed?
THE NEW CONGRESS.
| think it is generally conceded that the next
house win be superior intellectually over the
present. There appears to be, especially in New
York, Pennsylvania, and perhaps Ohio,
marked improvement in the average member
ship. There is nothing to regret, in my judy
ment at least, in the fact that the two-thrds ma.
iority is no longer found. The republicans will
have about forty majority, and that's enough.
1t is not too much to keep them on the alert
The senate will have 81 republicans, not
counting Foster Blodgett as admitted, and re-
garding Carl Schurz and West, (La.) as sure 10
vote with the republicans. In the house, as far
as elected, there are 1871 republicans and "a
democrats, leaving a republican majority of 81.
There are fourteen representatives to be elected
FROM the states of Connecticut California, New
Hampshire and Texas, and one each from nli-
nois and Michigan to Gil vacancies. The latter
are to be republicans and Of the others it is
claimed eight will be of the same faith-giving
one from California, one from Texas, four from
Connecticut and two from New Hampshire.
There are two expected by some from Texas,
two from California Ia gain, and the entire
delegation from New Hampshire, which would
give us ten. But allowing ten republicans out
of the sixteen and we shall have 141 against 100
democrats. There will be seat contested from
Arkansas, one in Alabama, two in Georgia, one
in Indiana, two in Pennsylvania, one in South
Carolina, one in Tennessee, one In Rhode Island
and one in Virginia-in all twelve. OF these
eight are republican contestants, two being be.
tween republicans, while the other two are
democrats. 1t is believed that Eve or six of the
republicans will be seated, which will give 40 or
41.majority This is more than working ma.
jority, and ought TO content any one.

How 1T FEELS TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHT.
NING.-George Mills writes as follows to the
Chicago Tribune:
On the evening Of the 10th day of july.
1870, was struck by lightning under the lol.
lowing circumstances: | am farmer, and had
gone TO the pasture, three fourths of mile from
the mouse, on horseback, TO drive home the

panied by much lightning and loud thunder,
and little rain was falling-we would saw IL

section OF the country. The cattle were feeding

with one hand, and proceeded to pull up the

morse, entering his head in aud behind bis left

of which is in such deposits. think the above
specified estate of $4,000, including $500 of
savings banks deposits, is much the largest
among those have examined. That estate ex-
hibts S57, ASS of personal, and only Sl2,542 of
real; so that the savings banks deposit in this
case is only about Ills of the whole personal.
You ask "my opinion as to the point whether,
and to what extent, other than people of small
means are depositing in our savings banks,
based upon the evidence furnished by your (pro-
bate) office"
Basng my opinion upon the very limited ex-
animation have made, should be inclined to
say that people of medium estates arc more
than formerly making use of our savings banks
for deposits, while those of the largest estates

The literary critic of the Lakeside Monthly,
which, contrary to the first report, did not Sc
cure Bret Harte as its editor, concludes a rather
patronzing review of that authors lately pub
hshed volume of poems with this judicious piece
OF criticism
"The publishers of this book have evidently
made the most of the material at hand; and BY
spreading il out over as much space as posi-
bic, have given it the appearance of quite a re-
spectacle volume, while il really contains some
thing less than two thousand lines. There are,
If we mistake not, quite number of American
poets who have written single poems, of ac-
knowledged merit, of greater length than the ag-
gregate OF all in this volume. But this fact
should not detTact from the honor Justly due 10
Mr. Harte. Heis comparatively young man."
&c.
The commercial instincts of the precociOus
western city yisibly influence this editors literary
judgments. Excellence of quality in corn or pork
will not excuse short weights, and Chicago, in
sisting upon the worth of her praise as of her
money, refuses to accord an equal rank among
poets TO one whose collected works do not make
two thousand lines, with those whose single
poems, OF merchantable quality, though perhaps
of slightly lower grade, easily exceed that |
limit. But, as the critic generously says, Mr.. |
Harte is still young man, and two thousand |
lines, If the quality of the product is not of the
first importance, is no great matter. By steady |
labor at his desk he can in short time satisfy |
sven Chicago. Poets, however, are said to be |
reckless aud eccentric, and perhaps he may not |
