The Milk Meeting at New Milford, last week, was an interesting one. We learn from the Journal report that the Housa- tonic Valley Assoclation reelected it's old board Of officers. Reports were then made by the Milk Producer's Association. The amount reported subscribed in the creased to $26, GOO in the Housatonic Val ley, and to S100, ,000, total. It appeared that outsiders were ready to subscribe the amount necessary to put the thing in op- eration forthwith. Considerable opposi- tion was made for far that capitalists would thus get hold of th organization and make 1t an oppressive monopoly. Finally, however, it vas votad to throw open the subscription to non-producers. and the following officers were then elect ed:
 PrcSident-P. X. Hall
 Fice- FreSidents-M. A. .Wickwiie, Ashley Falls: s. s. Warner, Lanesville; A. Bradley. Lee, Mass,
 Secretary and Ireasarer:-T: s. Gold.
 Directors.-N. Hart. E. Smith, H. A. Barlow, J. B. Lake. $. W. Hopson, D. H. Wanzer The following plan of operations is now proposed ''The company will buy de- pot for storing their milk, employ men to deliver 1t, buy all milk cans now owned by the farmers, and give the producer one half of what the milk retails for in New York (this would give the producer as much, if not more, than he now receives for his milk, the remaining half is to go to the stockholders, who after paying ex, penses are to declare dividend in the same manner as other corporations.

Robinson in regard to the necessity of a constitutional revision, but feared the opposition of Republican politicians. He thought, too, that no one could foresee any advantage to either political party from such a revision. MT. Hubbard gave the following queer bit of local history; It appears that the present town of New Britain was set off from Berlin, and very soon become a thriving business place, while the mother town to this day is al- most in its primitive condition It's or ganizantion as township was effected only few years ago, and long after Bridgeport was set off from Stratford and, though subject precisely to the same constitutional condition which confines Bridgeport to one representative, yet it has representation of two. The very 1 first year of its organization two represen- tat1ves appeared before the Lower House and claimed their seats. The matter was referred to the proper committee, and af- ter a long hearing, report was made that the town was entitled to but one ren- resentative. Then followed delay after delay, until the final adjournment of the 1 Legislature was reached without any def mite action being taken, the New-Britain members keeping their seats, and from ! time to the present. as the result of sheer Illegal impudence, that the town has held an undlsputed right to double representa- 1 ton, while the violated Constitution hangs the scales of justice over Bridgeport.
 On Wednesday of last week the legisla- ture of Kansas voted for U. s. Senator. Just before the vote was taken Senator York passed up to the presiding officer of the joint convention $1, ,OOO, he said Sena- tor Pomeroy had given him for his vote. The legislature passed resolution thank ing Senator York for the exposure and elected Pomeroy's oppo nent, John J. h. gals by an almost unanimous vote. Pom eroy has been prosecuted for bribery La ter reports represent Ingalls, no better than he should be-
 The remarkable result in the Tweed case has occasioned some inquiry into the antecedents of the jurymen that tried him. Two or three were convicts and one had served term in the penetentiary. One was under accusation for cleaning and selling defaced postage stamps. An other is reputed to be mock auctioneer. An hundred names were drawn, but only a part of these were summoned, and it would appear that Tweed had really the selection of the jury that tried him.
 At meeting of the Union Republican Electors of Cornwall, on the 1st instant, the following persons were appointed Delegates to the various Conventions:
 State.-C. E. Baldwin, E. B. Heady, Noah Rogers, Sebra Wells.
 Congressional-C. W. Skif, J. w. Beers, D. P. Johnson, J. H. Cole.

An important suit, SO far as de
Gliding whether the travelling public
have any right which railroad
brakcmen are bound to respect, will
be tried before the District Court,
Of Linn county next week, beng
the case of Mckinlay vs. the North
western Railroad Company. Nc
Klnlay is y resident of Mitchell
county, 4 man of excellent habits
and good character, and travel
ing agent tor the Beloil paper mills.
Some time in the early portion OF
of this year he entered the ladies
car on train on the Chicago North
western Railroad, and without ques-
ton deposited his satchcl and OBJ
tanned Il seat. The car was occu-
pied by few ladies and Il number
of gentlemen. 1t had stopped at a
station fer supper, and Mr.. Mckin-
lay stepped out again to smoke, or
to walk around. On going back in
to the car, he was met ut the door
bv II brakeman w.o told him, IN 4
tone which hrakemen sometimes
use, that he could not enter that car.
Mr.. NJ. though; he could as his bag
gage was there, and other gentle
men we're there, and he had ridden
in that car a great many times.
Brakeman didn't care 4 d-n, but
he Couldn't go in, and on Mr.. Nj.
trying to make his way on, the
brakeman hit him, knocked him over
the brake and railing, and broke
his collar bone and two ribs.
Mr.. Mckinlay thereupoii deter
mined to test the right Of a railroad
employee to treat passengers in
that style, and has sued the com
pany for damages. He expects to
show that he had ridden in that
car many times before, and that Il
number of gentlemen were in it I'M
accompanied By ladies, and therefore
that the action Of the brakcmen was
Il caprice; his treatment in no way
iustiiable. 1t it is established that
railroad companies are responsible
for this kind nf abuse Of passengers
by their agents, it may result in en-
forcing upon railroad employees an
obligation Of courtesy which good
many of them fail now to recognize.
A jury in Maine, some time since,
gave Il man Il verdict of $4,000 dam
ages for the wordy abuse of COLI
ductor Of a passenge" car, when no
blows were given, and no personal
injury inflicted, and the Supreme
Court of Maine, we believe, sus-
tanned the verdict. Mr.. Mckinlay,
after the blows and the personal in
jury, was also abused by the con-

sources; and alive all our advance

all constitute subjects of thankful

SUITS have been brought in the
District Court of Dubuque county,
against fifteen life insurance com.
panies which have been doing
business in this state without war
rant of law, the result of which will
probably be serious impairment
of the profits of the companies in
volved, as the case against them is
clear and pointed. The code pro-
vides that before foreign insurance
companies shall do business in this
state, they shall file with the State
Auditor a sworn statement show
ing the condition of the company at
the time it is made, and shall pro-
cure from HIM certificate author
izing them to do business in the
state. The penalty for non-com-
pliance with fine Of 500 for every
day that they do business in our
state, not having complied with its
provisions. Very few, if any, ofthe
life Insurance companies doing blu.
siness in Iowa have taken this pre-
liminary action, and are therefore
liable to prosecution. The suits
brought in the Dubuque court will
be tried before Judge Wilson, the
present month. The penalties ag
gregate nearly 100000, distributed
in sums from $4,000 to $4,000
among the fifteen companies hav
ing agencies in Dubuque.

One Of the important cases in the
Supreme Court of the United States
held over from last term, is from
the Supreme Court Of Iowa, and pre-.
sents the question whether the var.
ious State laws, and particularly
those Of Iowa, forbidding the man.
ufacture and sale of alcoholic Ii
quors, are not in conflict with the
provisions of the Fourteenth Amend
ment. Itis contended that, mas
much as such liquors are recognized
as property, by the Federal laws,
no State can deprive its citizens OF
the right to hold and deal in it in
the manner sought, and that the
party whose property has been seiz-
ed and destroyed under the law is
entitled to redress by virtue Of the
amendment cited. and to immunity
