Gov. Hubbards wisdom in recommending in his annual message legislative recess al the close of the regular session has been fully shown by the experience of the present Con. necticut Legislature The weeks interm ssion has given him an opportunity to carefully ex- anime the bills passed and Wednesday he re- turned no less than four for correction, one with objections and three with vetoes Two of the latter were insurance bills, the first authorizing the Etna life to capitalize $500, 900 of the sur plus which has accrued upon it's stock business and the second proposing to imprison in the state treasury all the surplus and profits of the Mutual Benefit life company until they reach $1, 900, 900. The governors objections in the first case are mainly against mixed mutual and stock life insurance company, as the tend ency, he thinks, would be to enrich the stock part at the expense of the mutual interest. The plan proposed for the Mutual company did not seem feasible, as it would require too much time in it's consummation. The bill repeating all acts exempting endowments or OtheE prop erty owned by schools of learning in the state. except those actually used for the purposes of instruction, was vetoed, because it seemed un- just to exempt railroad from taxation, as the Legislature had done, and make up for the ex- emption by taxing school property. Gov. Hubbard objects to the bill requiring annual estimates, after the United States system, as, in. his opinion, it lis strait jacket for the pub lie service, where the jacket is not needed for restraint, and where, therefore, it can only serve to cripple and cucumber the service" VI Springfield RepubhicdR.

 The Enquirer comes to me very regularly on the next Tuesday after it is published. It is like receiving letter from home. Andthe first thing that is looked for is Goshen, with H. N., at the bottom. wish H. N, would give a little more local news.-We have comets and stars out here in Kansas; but very little news from Goshen.
 We have had a very pleasant winter and the farmers have improved it by breaking sod and for the last month in blowing for oats and corn. We are beginning to work the gardens. Peach and plum blossoms are just ready to open. The wheat fields are looking splendid, the prospect for fair crop never was better. Wheat is very low now. It is selling from 70 to 80 cents per bushel, but, with good crops, we are all o. K., at those figures. Emigration is coming in very fast and lands are rising in value. They are very rich and productive. This is as handsome a country as man can wish to see, and above all it is very healthy.

Clearly, cremation would never do. Sup pose man came home little late on lodge nights and while rummaging in the pantry knocked over shelf full of his relatives put up in glass? Or that he had dispute with his second wife, and injudiciously reminded her of the virtues and culinary ability of her predecessor ?-an insult to which, as a wo- man of spirit, she could only reply by hurling the little brown jug containing that sainted predecessors residuum at his head. It would sound odd to hear him say to the servant,
 Mria, get the broom and sweep up my poor first wife; put her in the cracked sugar bowl on the top shelf till bring home an Etruscan cinerary urn this evening.

 The CAsToRIA destroys worms, regulates the Stom- ach cures Wind Collie, and permits of natural healthy sleep. It is very ecacious in Group and for Teeth ing Children. Honey is not pleasanter to the taste and Castor Oil s not certain it's effects It costs but & cts, in large bottles.

The Christian Union says, Persons who have heard of Mr. Tooth's ritualistic practices at Hatcham, London, England, but who do not know the exactd degree of his offence, will no doubt be gladto learn that the additions and alterations illegally introduced into his church were eight in number. The first was a coufes- sional box the second, tablet of wood, with an inscription of the St. James, Hatcham, Ward of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sac rament the third certain music stands used occasionally by brass band the fourth. a wooden structure, with folding doors, called Q tryptych, fixed to the wall over the commun- ion table and extending over nearly one half of the east window; the fifth, a screen, with gates of heavy workmanship, separating the nave from the chancel; the, eighth, wooden beam extended conspicuousy across the nave for the purpose of supporting cruclnx.

The speech made by President HAYES at
Toledo on Thursday last was the happicst
and most sensible effort of his liic. 1t was
laden with plain, practical, common sense,
relating to the present condition OF the cOun-
try. the cause. that have led TO its business
depression, and the remedies to be applied
to bring the people back to the more healthy
walks Of busincs, prosperity. lie held the
picture up to the country in simple but
truthful cOlOrs, and in uttcranccs so plain
that they could not be misinteTprcted, and
in manner 80 impressive as to attract at
tention and elicit thought. The lessons OF
that speech are exceedingly instructive and
far from discourOgng. We are taught that
whatever of hard times exist come TO us rs
the legitimate results of the late war
but the President did not stop to inform
the country which political party
precitated the war upon it to lay waste its
interests and bring ultimate disaster TO its
business and prosperity. That, perhaps, lie

but it is evident that forgctiulness bTOOds

which party it was that plunged the nation
| into a war, and which that rescued it from
| that peril while all agree that We are suffer

The hard times" have been seized as
pretext for calling into existence II new
political party, and to make the justilicn
ton for this new invention more perfect, they
have been greatly exaggerated in tho publ,
mind. People have been led to think unt
believe that the country is much worse OF
than it really is. Individual cases of dis
tress and want are sufficient, we admit
to show that there is much of povert,
