The:Message.

Coy. Iugersolrs message is a sound, safe. creditable, non-partisan document. treating mainly of State affairs, but with suitable reference to the centennial year There is perhaps trace of New Haven feeling in his censure of the policy that spends millions on a state-house for show, and allows our State Prison to be neglected, year after year.
 The portion of his message of most permanent importance is that which refers to constitutional amendments. He says very frankly that he considers the present plan of representation SO absurd as to be Indefensible; but at the same time he re- marks that he entertains no doubt whatev- CT that no plan of representation would ever receive the approved of our electors which was not based on the principle of town representation. We think Gov In- gersol greatly mistaken in this respect. The theory of territorial representation which prevailed in England and elsewhere when the colony of Connecticut was char tered, is one that has been generally aban- doned in America for the juster and more democratfc theory of personal representa- ton. Some improvement of existing plans. so as to give minoritles representa- tion, is obviously necessary; but the old borough system is a doomed nuisance. It can perhaps be so modified as to be no longer ''absurd, but it can never be oth- erwise than unjust.

WASHINGTON DEPOT, May 1st 1876.
 When one remembers the traditional May pole, and thinks of the scenes pictur- ed and described by English writers and painters as occurring on May day in their country, one wonders if the season is real ly as much earlier there than here as that indicates. The "Queen of the May is pictured garlanded with roses, with head, neck and arms, otherwise uncovered; and all the merry lads and lasses are as thinly clad as we see them in midsummer. Here our May day has been very pleasant, but so cool that the snow which covered the whole face of mother earth in the morn- ing. yet fingers on the north side of build. ings, and the air is decidedly cold. Last week us enjoyed some spring like weathe., and the farmers where c op of hay has |" gin eout," began to look a little hope ful as the hill sides took deeper shade of green; but the same faces look very blue now, not like the sky ''deeply, dark ly, beautifully blue," but sadly, soberly blue, at the prospect of buying yet more hay at $20 per ton.

Harden purge, of the 17th, that of the Committee on Education; Judge Eastman, of the 16th., that of Sale of Lands. In the House, MT.

MT. Cutler is chairman of the School Fund; Mr. Smith, of Shar- on, of New Towns; MT. Baldwin, New Milford, of Agriculture; while Mir. Hurl- but. of Goshen, goes upon the lawyers committee Gudicfary), there being no lawyer in the House from this county ex- cept Mir. Graves.
 Mir. Johnson, of Hartford, takes tAe Judiciary with the lead of the House. The Republican leader, Mir. Lynde Harrison, of Guilford, is given charge of Constitu- tional Amendments. probably because it is ths most unpopular committee iu the House. We would not wonder, however, if that shrewd politician made capital even out of this unpromising position.

DR. WIsTAK's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY. The standard remedy for the cure of coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis, horseness, asthma, whooping cough, croud, sore throat, diphtheria, difficulty of breathing, quinsy. phthislc. pain in the side and breast, splitting of blood, liver complaint, bleeding of the lungs, and all diseases of the throat. lungs, and chest, including even consumption. It seems hardly necessary to dilate at length upon the virtues of this favorite remedy for all diseases of the lungs. throat and chest. It was introduced to the public by Dr. Wistar nearly half a century since, and by the wonderful cures which it perform ed, gained an immediate and enviable reputation, which to thls day it has fully sustained. From the gulf of St. Lawrence to the shores of the Pacific, and in many countries abroad, there are few villages or hamlets without 'livlng testimonials" to the rapidity and certainty of it's curative effects. The proprietors, mindful of their responsibility to the afflicted, exercise the utmost care in the selection and con- pounding of the various ingredients of which the BALsAM is composed; and the sick a.e assured that the high standard of excellence on which its popularity is bas- ed, will always be maintained.
