 The new constitutional amendment which passed the House on Friday last provides for an increase in the Senate so that it will be composed of from thirty five to forty-ive members. These are to be apportioned by commission consisting of sixteen members, two from each county, to be elected by ballot in joint convention of the two houses, no member of such convention voting for more than eight members of the commission. Should this commission, composed probably of eight of each party. fail to agree on an appor- tionment. the matter is to go over till af- ter the next census. This is probably a better plan to prevent "gerrymandering' the State in the interest of any party than the one Orininally proposed. Still the strong vote against the measure in the House (SO to 10D indicates that its chance for the required two thirds vote, next year, is not very dattering.
 A horse stealing man seems almost as incurable as sheep-killing dog. We can hardly wonder that people of hasty turn such as inhabit Texas and .he territories, take to extermination instead of reform with both. We clip the following in- stance of the strength of ruling passion from last weeks Winsted Herald:
 Some two years ago, George Bushy stole a horse from VIII. Farnham, of WOlcott- vile, for which he was sent to states pris- on for two years. About month since he was released by the Legislature, or some other way, and went to Forestville and hired out to R. A. Douglass to work and | do the best he could for him, and try to be an honest man again. Last Saturday, the 10th, Douglass being away from , Doug las hostler to go to Unionville. Douglas returned in Q few hours, and learning who had got his team, started in pursuit. He went to Unionville and no trace was to befound of him, he then came to Collinsville and there learned that Bushp had been there and had gone to- wards New Hartford. Douglas stopped at that place through the night and on Sunday morning learned that Bushy had been at Lees stable where he traded off the phaeton for blackboard wagon and a watch worth S15 or S20, and some S10 in money. the phaeton being worth S15O l The pursuit was continued to Pine Mead ow where the blackboard was seen on the premises of a Mir. Root, Bushy having just harnessed up to drive MT. and Mrs. Root to Canaan. Officer Farley arrested him and took hlm to Forestville where he had an examination on Monday, and was put under $500 bonds for trial-for want of | whi0h ha xuaa lo1uod ;v, Ho~kfo.1 ;o1
