The Senate Special Committee on
Capitol matters reported favorably
on the bill reimbursing the Capitol
Commissioners for money expended
while in the discharge OF their off,
cial duties.
NEW LAWS.
Acting Governor Adams has sign
ed the following bills:
Authorizing the Board of Pardons
to remit fines and penalties.
Senator Piper's bill amending the
Charter of Virginia City, authoriz-
ing the Board of Aldermen to levy a
city tax on gambling houses, and
combining houses of prostitution to
certain prescribed limits. Under the
old law gambling houses only paid
State tax, while they received equal
benefits and protection from the
city government.
Also, the bill amending the Incor-
poration Act of Austin.
incorporating Carson City.
Appropriating $4,000 for the i'm
provement of the Capitol grounds.
Bill relieving railroad and express
companies of the responsibility of

LEAVES FALLEN BY THE wAYsIDE.
The weather is beautiful beyond
description, and its long continuance
is hailed with general satisfaction
and expression of delight by those
who are so fortunate as to be per-
mitted to enjoy it.
Our stalwart ergeant-at-Arms of
the Senate, Seymour Pixley, con-
tributed to the amusement of the
festive by inaugurating and success
fully carrying out the most pleasant
and enjoyable party OF the season.
1t was given at the Ormsby House.
The Arion Society of singers gave
a concert last evening. The house
was crammed, and not like an India
rubber omnibus, there was not room
''for one more" ).

Is a Religious war Imminent:

The English speaking national
tiles and the Protestant organiza-
tons throughout the world, cannot
be Indifferent to the heated discus
sion now gathering force in Eng
land over the Papal claim to infal-
libility. Archbishop Manning, a
zealot of no mean parts, intimates
that a terrible tempest of contro-
versy is about to open on this
point and questions growing out
of it, and among others, insists
that the Papacy is the supreme
arbiter of the civil polity of the
nations. To sustain this assertion,
a grand council is to be held in
London, to give voice to the SEN
timents embodied in this assump-
ton.
AS Americans, we know too little
of the interior life or condition of
British politics to form an accurate
judgment on this question. Were
it propounded on our own soil, that
foreign potentate, civil or spirit
ual, had the right to direct our
civil national policy, the claim
would be met with gutfaw that
would shake the Vatican itself.
The laugh that would so up would
resemble for volume the hurrahs
for the Union ten years ago, when
the John Brown song was shouted
from "Atlanta to the sea-" A
claim that common sense at once
discards, as it does all silly or
serious distractions not founded in
the eternal laws of order and pro-
gress, amounts to no more than so
much idle wind when there is no
artillery behind it. If it is the
intention of these theological dis
turbers to arouse the nations
against each other, and excite a
conflict between the Roman Cath
Ole and Protestant powers of Eu-
rope, they will be met in the van
with such an array of " sober
second thought" even among
Catholics themselves, as will cause
them to sneak away into the OBJ
security from which they should
never have emerged.
The eyes of the people are wide
open, at this date, to the absolute
folly of settling religious disputes
by shedding blood. Therefore, a
religious war may be counted out
of the list of probable events.
The resolutions passed at mass
meeting of Catholics in England
have the right ring, in which they
assert that religious war neither
advanced or strengthened their
organization, but on the contrary
weakened it, and caused more
misery and retrogression than
scores of years could regain.
Free America is not an uninter-
ested spectator of this agitation.
The power that claims in Europe
to be above kings, will not in
America own allegiance to the
people, and it behooves them to
keep in view the old maxim, "that
eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty"

THAT bright star shining In the
southeast, these clear winter even
ings. is Sirius, the brightest. and
in appearance the largest OF the
fixed stars. 1t derives its name
from the constellation CAMS Major,
in which it appears. 1t furnishes
the only example of historically
proved change of color in the APP
pearance of star, being recorded
as fiery red in the time OF Ptol-
emy. whereas it now presents
white light. 1t is very dazzling in
appearance, and as it constantly
wrinkles on these cold nights, it
seems to emit rays of green. 1t
revolves about faint companion
star. whose mass is nearly equal to
that of our sun, while the mass OF
Sirius is twice as great. The min
ute appearance of its companion is,
however, chiefly due to the superior
brilliancy of Sirius-two hundred
times greater than that OF the sun
caused by its higher temperature.
AS we gaze upon this bright star
on these freezing nights, we can
cheer ourselves with the thought
that there must be hot fire burn
ing there, though we derive no
warmth from the reflection

A New FORM OF THE Con-
FIDENCE GAME.-Last week a Car
son merchant was visited by per.
son who said that a man lay dying
at a certain lodging house on
Carson street, who had something
to say to the merchant before he
passed away. Thinking it very
singular, the merchant put on his
overcoat and went to the house in
company with the stranger On a
bed upstairs he found the dying
man. The merchant expected to
find pale, emaciated patient; in
stead he saw a pretty healthy
looking fellow, who was, however,
snugly covered up in bed, and
whose voice was way down in his
throat. This man informed the
merchant that, in the opinion of
his physician, he could not live
another day, and therefore he had
called his visitor to confess the
theft of pair of boots and a brush
worth 81. He begged forgive
ness, and that the merchant would
now take remuneration, which the
latter was willing to do, changing
q 500 greenback to settle the little
account. This little affair caused
him the loss of only $50, the note
being counterfeit.

The use of carpetings may be traced to very remote period, although as late as the time of Queen Mary, rushes and oth. CT coarse materials were used on tue floors of her apartments. For many years Flu rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car. pet weaving, We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel lence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Co.,, of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country. Messrs. HALL < READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brussells carpets in the state. Hall < Read also enjoy deserved reputation for selling all classes of Dry Goods at the lowest market rates.

~ WooDBURY has been having an old fash toned sqirrel hunt, organized with 22 on a side, John T. Salmons leading one par ty, and T. R Gilbert the other. Salmons brought in a string that counted 242 points, the largest scored, but the other side had 19 hunters to his l., and he was beaten 164 points total of 1276, (the chipmonk being as usual the unit of enumeration, we presume). After the game had been counted there was prom enade and concert for the benefit of the Curtiss Cornet Band. and on another eve- ning an oyster supper. There ought to be rule that each side should eat all it kills at these matches. That would save:the lives of lots of small fry. not to mention crows and hoot-owls.
 KENT young people had dance at MT. Wm. Judd's, Thanksgiving night.-Mr. Bishops reading for the improvement so- ciety were very good and the Mistletoe Rough and 'Zekle's Courtship were acted h pantomime, while the singing of the for mer and reading of the latter proceeded. The cellar of Miles Camp, in Kent Hol- low, was broken into about two weeks ago and some cider and butter stolen. The guilty parties were arrested Monday by Sheriff Chamberlain in New Preston and brought to Kent for trial.
 NEW PRESTON prayer meetings steadily increase in interest, says the Ray.-The young peopte are preparing a dramatic entertainment.-The bridge above the l gristmill has been repaired.
 RIvERToN finds it necessary to put the notices against fast driving at the ends of the new iron bridge instead of the middle. The decision in the case of Wm. Fl. Thorpe. in the Superior Court, last week, settles that point.-The discussion of town finances progresses promlsingly in the Winsted News. Au annual report that Jumps 8, ,292 into incidental expen- ses" is hardly the thing for these reform ing days.
 The recent MORRIS oyster supper was not very lucrative. owing to bad weather. MT. T. s. Gold lectures this week, and Messrs. Churchill of Woodbury, Hillard of Plymouth. and Colton of Washington, are expected to follow.
 NoRrHFIELD celebrated the silver wed. ding of MT. and Mir. Henry Morse on Monday of last week.-Mr. H. NJ. Smith has rented a blacksmith shop and sent to New Haven for a competent artist to occu- py it.
 We hear that the new bridge at GAY LoRDsv1LLE came near being blown over, last Tuesday. The northeast end Is very much strained. and is now, it is said. in a dangerous condition.
 REYNOLDS BRIDGE.-Our rum cribs seem to be doing very qaiet business now, or none at all. It is getting to be rare thing to see a drunken man.-Our immediate vicinity was infested with tramps, the past week, and some hard. looking cases, too. Monday night there were dozen of them camped in the edge of the woods between here and the hollow. An old man by the name of Pickwick. an invalid of long standing, died Sunday night at William Morris where he had been boarding.

The State Ba. Association have the following measures of law reform under consideration
 1. To provide a single form for com mencing all actions at law or in equity.
 ,. To provide that either party to an action may, subject to proper rule, at any time before trial file interrogatories which the opposite party shall answer by afida- wit.
 3. To provide that either party to an action may be compelled at any time to produce for the inspection of the opposite party any documents in his possession re- lating tO the case and properly admissible as evidence.
 The first and third propositions may perhaps be open to doubt, but the second will strike every lawyer as a reform that isgreatly needed. It would tend greatly to put stop to frivolous defences, to simplify issues, and to shorten the delays that ars now so characteristic of law pro- ceedings. .....f..
