 Still Lingers s.-Winter continues tt finger, last Monday being really very
 clustering cold day; day that would fl very accurately almost any spot in tho out of place.

 ,, Legislative Dead dHeads-The.H .Hartfort Courant says Judge Martin, sitting on th
 bench of the superior court now in session
 in that city has granted a temporary injunc
 ton, on the application of MT. H. l.. Good
 win of East Hartford stockholder, agains > the New York, New Haven and Hartfor, : railroad company, restraining that corpora { ton from issuing free passes to, or transpo1 a ting without payment of regular fare k members of the general assembly and stat |. officers, who have for several years pas 7 enjoyed harvest of dead heading over tn s railroads of the state. MT. Goodwin, as t stockolder, believes that the interests 0 Q the road in question demand that it shal = not pass some three hundred persons dail, 6 over it without receiving compensation = and he no doubt feels also, as he ha s expressed himself when 8 member of th, e house, that the free pass system is demora ] lizing to legislation ,in some respects 5 though tae worst feature of it is that = tends to prolong the sessions of the genera assembly and costs the state large sums O t money.
 , 1tis probable that without further lega g action, as to other roads-if the New Yorl = road accepts the situation resignedly anc = without tears-the railroad corporation generally will abolish the system, so tha the incoming legislature and the official r surrounding it will be compelled to pay railroad fare, which economically consider
 ed, will keep gentlemen at the capitol ant
 make them regular boarGers somewhere il ] town. Itis painful to imagine the depress r ion of spirits which will seize hold of many 3 members who have already contemplated 1 E delightful legislative session with daily rides on gratuitous pasteboard to thei happy homes. Many man, when hs hears of the injunction and its fata consequences, will hang on the ragged edge of his misfortunes and solemAly wish he had never consented to become a candi Idate,
