 COMMITTEE HEARINGS. Tuesday of last week there was @ hearing before the committee on Constitutional Amendments on the question of Woman Suffra0e. Mrs. Middlebrook and the Rev. Miss Brown. of Bridgeport, Mrs. Isabella B. Hooker Inf Hartford, and Mrs. Grifing, of Washing. ton, addressed the committee on the ri0Ht of suffrage.
 There was hearing before the Finance Committee on Tuesday of last week, upon tue proposal to tax the premium notes If insurance companies. It appears that over million dollars interest on those notes ia received annually by four Hartford comma nles, and the principal amounts to over twenty three millions. A tax of 3< of one per cent on these notes would net the State $225, 900 annually. The companies claim that these notes are to be paid only in case of such losses on the part of the company as require the insured to contribute thereon "a contingency which seldom if ever hap pens.
 On Thursday evening the committee on temperance had public hearing at Leeis- lative Hall. Mir. Powell of New Haven stated that over 8, ,O0O persons were engaged in the liquor traffic throughout the State and that the Internal Revenue from that branch was $l30,O0O in Connecticut. He advocated the bill making the liquor seller liable for the damage done by any one while under it's influence. Messrs Winter, Range and Hillyer also made strong ap- peals In behalf of the measure. The Rev Olympia Brown of Bridgeport spoke also. and among other arguments urged the fol I0WlnO WhOaP tor

D@. Mrs. Lydia W. Sherman. late of Derby, has been arrested on charge of poisoning her husband and two step child ren. It is believed that. she has poisoned three husbands in succession. six children of her own and two step children within less than ten years. She was born in New Jersey and first married man named Struck with whom she lived about seven years having six children. Struck and all the children died mysteriously within about two years of each other. She then married . man in Huntingdon who died after symp. toms indicating poison from arsenic. leav. ing her 5000 She then married Mir. Sherman in Derby, widower with child. rem. Shortly after the marriage, two oi these children died, and about e month since Mr. Sherman died, also, under cir. cumstances that raised suspicion of pois. onine.

A substantial turn in the affairs of tbe prospective branch road to New. Preston has taken place in the past week. A call for subscriptions has been made upon onr citizens. The amount required from here IS S25, 600. A portion of this sum is already subscribed, we understand, which makes if reasonable to think the balance will soon be forthcoming.

Esq. It is fitted up with drawing room, dining room and kitchen, and is superb in all it's appointments. MT. Ogden having num- Der of friends in Kent and New Milford, intended to bring it over the Housatonic road for their inspection, but after reaching Great Harrington with it, found that it could not come through on. this road, owing to it's extreme width, which exceeds that of any car hitherto built excepting for broad gauge roads. Therefore he is obliged to go to Springfield and thence to New York, and his friends in this vicinity will have to forge the pleasure of his anticipated visit.

 The absurdity of the objections advanced is at once evident to anyone at all familiar with the facts. Banks and capitalists take more than six per cent already.

One evening not long since, "week day" religious meeting was held in the basement of one of our churches. The weather being quite warm, the outside door was left open for the greater comfort of those present. Scarcely had the services begun, when peculiar, yet not unfamiliar musical tones greeted the ears of the wor- shipers. The tide of ingathering sound rapidly increased. Horn.bugs were enter ing in force. Had they been securely part ed off by themselves their melody would have been somewhat entertaining; but darting about in close proximity to lamp chimneys and human heads. their presence was decidedly. annoying. The services continued. The unwelcome visitors in- creased in numbers and power. The situa- tion became fearfully romantic. Something must be done. A speedy course of action must be determined on. The natural law of self preservation soon suggested reme- dy. A war of extermination commenced. One lady, with uncommon presence of mind, disposed of some five or six of the musical intruders. One gentleman slew about the same number. Others of the congregation, with fewer opportunities, or it may be with less courage. made way with one or, more each. The volume of deep, rich horn-bug bass was greatly diminished. Numerous carcases lay strewn around. Animportant victory had been gained.

B@- That there was pretty sharp prac- tice during the war in the matter of getting soldiers credited to towns where they did not reside we distinctly remember having heard before. But we judge from the de. bate in Woodbury over the Roll of Honor to be inscribed on their Soldiers monu- ment, that the sslectmen of that town were peculiarly expert in the matter of filling up town ''quotow." The whole number of soldiers credited to Woodbury who were killed or died in the service was 5e; of these but tsuenty.sse were actual residents oi thaktown.> h view of the fact that some oaptious Woodburyan proposes to strike out Inc non-resident 31, correspondent of the ASerican feelingly remarks, aIt would seem the military dead should groan."
