The evening sitting of the l5tn inst, was hi larious in the extreme. Resolutions and mo. tons were somewhat mixed. Paper balls in front, flank and rear, were so thick that no one could "hold the fort" for two minutes. Five baskets full of missiles were picked up by the messengers. P. T. Barnum fell backwards in his chair, the morning of the 18th, and knocked over the desk of "the gentleman from Thomas ton," making terrible crash "in all the country round." Oh, what fall was there, my country. meEl We think that there was never better. hum0red body of men assembled in this Capi. toh They laugh as readily as a bevy of frolick- ing schoolgirls. Yet, when tho speaker raps with his gavel, and cries "order" the effect is magical We'll, the Charter Oak has been grant ed an extension of life, but will probably die a miserable death, without many of the policy holders attending the funeral. Insurance on life is, on the whole, damage to the greater number, and new plans will be devised to dupe still farther credulous public The dogs will be mad at the new law, and some men will be mad, too, we guess. The liquor business will remain IN sTATU QUO. The men who have had their pet schemes before the Committee, House pho oSAA"'Nt Aahb iSit SidBllicu anu DICK dL heart to see their mighty efforts baiiied at al most every turn. Perhaps the warm advocates of temperance could do more good by appeals to the reason and manhood of drinkers and sell CTS of the "accursed stuf," than they could with a law of their own making. The past two centuries have not given us anything better than Christian and moral suasion. This morn. ing, while waiting for business from the Senate the shot and shell again flew fast. Mir. Nichols of Bridgeport was called to the chair for half an hour or so, an honor that the junior member from Bridgeport has not yet had. The demo. crats have their share of able men, and we are proud of Warden ot Stamford. Kendrieh of Wa terbury, Gallagher of New Haven. and others Brewster of Danbury is one of the conservative and able men on the republican side, and is loved and respected by all. Andrews of Litch- 1eld is q talented man, and, although dwarfed in body, one cannot but think of the line, when in his presence
 "The mind is the standard of the man."
 The final adjournment is near at hand, and the members are now exchanging photographs, ,and really regretting that they will soon part.

LAST WEEKS FIRE.

The narrow escape from destructlon .by fire ofJudse FaitBians house, last week, has re riyed the interest that many have felt concern Ing ths safety of their homes against fire. It Is evident that if 1t had not been for Mrs. Castle, md the prompt alarm that ebe gave, Judge Tair1nan's house would have been destroyed, and with 1t the house oi Mir. Albert Turner, al joining itand possibly the house in .rhich Mrs. Castle and Mrs. Fairchild lived. v must bo borne in mind also, that had there been no Champion Fire Extinguisher close at hand the house would have certainly been destroyed, for the simple reason that the fire had worked its way between the floor and ceiling, to a distance that water thrown under the floor and ceiling could not reach 1t. These two cirtumstances were very fortunate in this instance, but they are not always to be relied upon. Not that lndiyiduals are indifferent 10 the affairs ofothers but 1t might be that peopls less watchfNh would not see tho danger, as did Mrs. Castle, and give the alarm.
 We understand that though there was well situated in the yard, between the two houses, that there was no bucket with which to get water to put on the fire and but for the presence Ol Hiuu bI ut' hoS uoINei h iio ICiiASihpeiSu oSS ing & barrel of water in Mir. Turner's yard, 1t would have been some time before water could have been obtained to put on the burning floor
 All who were present at the fire, and who saw it, and heard the circumstances attending the discovery and alarm, are fully convinced of the importance of having some systematic government immediately organised to protect property from the ravages of fire,
 The work done by the Champion Fire Ex- tinguisher won for 1t many friends, and 1t has been suggested that we call attention to # with the view of having more Of them In this village. There is absolutely no defence against fire, and the only safe way Is to provide something that will be of use in case of fire. Mir. Booth has two of these fire extinguishers in his store, be side force pump with hose, and ofcourse with those he could protect his own property. We think that few more situated about the village in convenient places, s,woud not be an unreason. able thing Individuals ought not to be looked 10 for the use of their extinguishers when dan ger threatens. Property holders ought to com bine, and purchase and secure a joint interest in machines to put out fires.
 We should have fire inspectors, whose duty would be to carefully inspect every house. There never was 8 more fitting time to do this than now. Let there be careful consideration of this important matter, at an early day. Let ths warden call a borough meeting, and maybe some good might result from 1t.
