 Mr. Bradley is not only not promi. nent lawyer in New Hayen,s but has had very little practice minis profession The nominations are not well received in that place, where the appointment of Hilton E. Doolittle is recommended by almost the entire bar. of that city, nor in Fairfield county which is left without a judge by the present arrangement, Mr. Treat be- ing resident of Woodbridgein New Ha- ven county. A serious bolt is threatened which certainly ought to succeed. .1a.l 1' 5s The nomination of judges, last week, arouses much just dissatisfaction. Few lawyers will deny that the proposed nom nations leave our judiciary weaker than
 
 1t has ever been before. Indeed tine bench has been declining ever since the adoption of the constitutional amendment limiting the judicial term to eight years Combining as we now do the vicious meth cd of Legislative appointment with the mis- take of short term of office, we have no right to expect good judiciary. g One of the most importent changes a constitur tional convention would probably hasten to make would be the restoration of the life term, and giving the appointment of judges to the Governor instead of to King Caucus, as is done by our present con stitution. ta s5i.su y-uIvIasw ss5ib.t = T.,
 The capitol committee had some very hot sessions, last week. Messrs. Batter and Upjohn were at 'issie and the general opinion in Hartford seems to, be that the tnew building will be a mean affair when finished. Architects are not inclined to love one another and the influence of Mir. Patterson may account for some of the Hartford feeling against Mir. FUpjohn. Still the evidence certainly. is not re.as- surfing as to the iudicious use of the half million the State is investing s, a5 The noted actor Lawrence Barrett, with theatical company of fifteen, to play two evenings, next week, at the new Win sted Opera.

 Litchfeld is, fortunate in the young menit has sent toour colleges. Mir. Leonard w. Richardson, nephew of Dr. Perry, late rector of St. MichaeFs, and who was fitted at MT. Peck school in this place, takes the valedictory in the class which graduates at Trinity College, Hartford, this year. Mr. William Beebe, son of P. s. Beebe late of thls village, and who was fitted at Mfr Pettibone's school, takes one of the four High Orations''' at Yale, this year, and has also won high literary hon. ors.

 Miss Rhoda Taylor met with q serious accident on Sunday last.ol She went to see her nephew Isaac Taylor who was the pro- prietor of an extremely ugly" ram. The beast attacked the old lady, who is over eighty years olds knocked her down two or three times, and injured her ancle serf@ ously. Instead of moving his ram nearer the village, where he stwenld havedone the most good," Mir. Taylor weakly offered him up as 'sburnt sacriice" the day aft CT his last exploit. xss sarr.,ssS r The Waterbury gentlenaan who was incarcerated for drunkenness, recently, has been as good as his word and brought complaint against Mrs Weller of whom he says he bought his liquor. She was arrested, brought before Justice Meafoy on Saturday last, and trial of the com, plaint was adjourned til Saturday of this week, at a. m. in the Town Room.

 On Thursday evening of last week, the Rev. MT. Beckwith3 delivered 2 tenn perance lecture at the court room to a good audience. It was a very interesting talk, avariety of we'll told anecdotes were introduced and the subject was haadled with vigor and ability. The oongrega- 1 tional Choir kindly furnished some excel lent music for the occasion. 6tsa r@, Residents of North Street commend the singular modesty of the street lamps in that section.
