IN M EM DRAM.

Mir. Henry A. Lucas, whose death took place May 18th, was one whose loss will be deeply felt, not only by the large circle of relatives and friends, but by the entire community. For the past six or eight years, when sleeping, he has been compel led to lie on his right side only, ting to some difficulty in the left which he could not account for. For little more than two years he had been troubled with a darting pain in his left side, immediately followed by dizziness or faintness but he had not consulted physician until nearly the middle of January-when he went to see Dr. North, who at first styled his dis ease enlargement of the heart. Since that time he has been gradually failing, as none knew better than himself. Ever with cheerful, happy disposition, with a clear mind and looking on the bright side. he continued to the last. Scarcely day passed that he did not allude to some thing that would need to be done during the summer or fall, always prefacing 1t with, ''If am here" Although he could get around with difficulty, he went out of doors nearly every day, as he felt better when 1n the air and sunshine. His chief pleasure was in caring for the sick, and his own time seemed to him of no conse- quence if he could in any way minister to their wants.

 neglect of the commission to compel the construction of sufficient fish-ways at the Housatonic dam. Mir. Arnold of Haddam said that the $5, ,O00 spent three years ago

One of the most important bills before our legislature was reported by the judi ciary committee last week. It provides that ''money loaned on interest with an agreement that the borrower shall pay the taxes thereon and secured by mortgage of real estate in this state, to an amount equal to the assessed value of the land m )rtgaged as valued and set in the assess ment list of the town where it is situated, shall be exempt from taxation; and the excess of any such loan over such valua- tion shall be assessed and taxed in the town where the lender resides in the same manner as other money on interest. and all taxes levied on the land SO mortgaged shall be and remain lien on said land until paid and shall have priority of the lien created by said mortgage"
 The object of this law is no doubt to correct irregularities of existing practice, and may be well enough, although it would be rather troublesome in its prac. tical. workings, we judge. The last feature. however, does not strike us favorably and might occasion great hardship to mort gagees. In the first place it would prefer a subsequent lien for taxes, to a prior one on ordinary loan. Moreover. it would vary the usual rule which very properly throws the burden of taxes on the person in possession. The mortgagor might of ten, also, allow taxes to accumulate, with out the knowledge of the mortgagee. and, as they draw 12 per cent. interest, such a lien might very seriously lessen the secu. rity.

The annual diocesan convention of the Episcopalians of this State was held in New Haven, last week. Among other facts reported we notice the establishment of St. Margaret's School, Waterbury, a denominational institution for the educa- tion of girls, which the committee thought would prove of great value to the church. The cost of buildings Sc. was $6O, 900, fur nished by liberal donations of the citizens of Waterbury. There was some discussion of the differences between the late rector of St. James, Danbury, and his parish.

The New Hampshire Senatorial matter is finally settled. The Democrats remain in control of the Senate and the Repubh- cans elect their governor and have a ma jority in the House. The Superior Court judges very properly refused to decide a question that they had no constitutional power to decide, and we are not certain that their decision could have been favor able to the Republicans had they rendered one. A foolish statute, passed many years since, requires the full Christian names of candidates to be written or printed on all ballots counted at elections 'Nat," is not the full christian name of the Repub- lican candidate for Senator in the district most sharply contested, so that the votes so printed should have been rejected by counters. The only. real question is wheth- CT the Democratic State officers had a right to go behind the reported count in granting certificates of election.

The mileage members of the legislature propose to allow themselves strikes us as sufficiently liberal. The sum first propos- ed was 50 cts. mile, from the members place of residence, over the usual route, to Hartford. Some generous legislator moved to amend by making it 50 cts a mile both ways, and the House smiled ap- proval. The actual cost of travel will probably average 3! cts. per mile; and, as the member commutes at half fare, he can go and return 30 times on the mileage all lowed him. This ought to be enough for 75 days session, and will en- able the legislator to attend not only to his public business but his private busi ness, and save an honest penny out of his mileage besides.
 As we had anticipated the Liquor Deal CTS Association is busily at work before the legislature. Judge Hovey of Norwich, Jones of Hartford, and Graves of this place, are urging the passage of bill that would not only repeal that portion of the present statute which allows towns to vote s'No License," but would take away all discretionary power of selectmen as re- gards recommendations for license Now is the time for temperance men to give their support to the most effective law against liquor selling Connecticut has ever had.
