LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

House Bill No. 81, relating to cutting
trees in the bed of streams, provides that
where tree Is cut IN creek, it shall be
cut out and then CIT up, or else the cutter
caught cutting cut tree shall be fined
The House cut up the bill in such cut
tag manner that it was difficult to tell
whether il was "cut and dried bill
or not.
Ex-Sherif Hursey, of Harrison county,
occupied a seat on the floor of the House
on yesterday, by the side of the surviving
delegate from that county.
Mr.. Wofiindin has been nominated for
Chaplain of the State Temperance As
| ISOLATION.
Delegate Chapman is always alive to
the interests OF the Kanawhs valley.
While that long School Bill was on
] its third reading, quite number OF
members stepped down and out" to see
u friend On the street.
One member proposed to take re-
cess while the Clerk was reading the
amended School Law.
Good morals and gentle manners Is
the title of a text book provided for by
the new sch pol law.
A gentleman lost his pocket book in

IT was beautiful sight and a good
sign TO see two or three nicely dressed
Young men drinking at the Second ward
public fountain, yesterday morning, in
stead of Mt a bar-oom. But some one
was malicious enough to spoil the theory
of the observer by remarking that "they
were only Ciluting the alcohol in their
blood. Thus it happens with every
pleasing, ilattering hope.
The new school law passed by the
House to-day fixes the State tax for
school purposes at l5cents on 800 valua-
ton OF property-an increase Of . cents
over what it has been. 1t remains to
be seen whether the Senate will amend
it by reducing to 10 cents as formerly.
1t is the impression that il the Senate
strikes out "lo cents" and inserts 40" in
the school law, the House will not con-
eur in the amendment.
A certain distinguished member of the
House was observed to have his HAIR
combed on yesterday,-an unusual occur
ance with him.
Mr.. Farnsworth refuses to be happy,
unless preachers are exempted from
working on the roads.
Mr.. Prichard is ringing the death
knelr on the Usury Bill. This gentle
man laDored earnestly in behalf Of this
measure, and its defeat is due to no want
of exertIon on his part.
The bill appropriatIng money to pay
the expenses Of the Legislature passed
the House northumberland not one ex-
planned his vote.
Mr.. Dychc thinks the treatment the
calendar receives in the House is similar
to the method adopted for Strengthening
beevcs in Revolutionary times: one party
held them up while the other Knocked
them down.
