ing to slight indlsposition and Hon. Charles X.
Train occupied the post of presiding officer OF
the house The debate in this branch chiefly
concerned the inhabitants of Sheffield and New
Marlborough, in the western part of the state.
The report of the committee on towns was not
sustained, and a bill was passed to its third
reading, by large majority, to annex portion
of the former town to the latter. Capt. Jernegan
of EdgartOn asked the house to give to Dukes
county academy S5OO0 instead of $1,000, recon-
mended by the committee on education, and
they cheerfuly voted the larger sum. The Ma
liant wharf project came up again on the pas
sage of the bill TO be enacted, and just as the
discussion was growing warm the matter was
postponed till tomorrow.
