Legislative Items.

The advantage from the recess of the legis- lature for two weeks before final adjournment, was shown in the number of bills returned by 1 the governor for defects of form or substance Much annoying litigation has no doubt been saved by the corrections thusmade; and sever al measures of the kind that usually slip through in the hurry of the last few days of legislative session. were effectually squelched by the veto of the governor, sustained by one or both Houses. The credit for this careful style of law-making is especially due to the gover- nor himself though in his closing address he attributes the merit of this important reform to the Senate and. House
 Your session has been characterized not on- ly by unusual courtesy, harmony and marked freedom from partisanship, but it has resulted in body of enactments, not unwise in gener- al and many of them of very marked value in the system of laws which govern us am very glad to be able to say that not a single special act of incorporation has been passed for private businesspurposes. The people will commend your temperance in this respect It is worthy of special mention also that for the frsC time since 1859; and as I believe, for the first time in the history of the state, the acts of the session have been expressed, examined by the proper committee, and signed in en- grossed form before adjournment.
 The janitor hasn't exactly got the hang of the machinery yet, and consequently the Sen- ate chamber was so well-ventilated yesterday as to be disagreeable, if not dangerous. Draughts of cool air circulated in all directions and most of the Senators considered it prudent to wear their overcoats. COurGnt
 If the Senate had been put into that room earlier in the session it might not have stood in the way of useful legislation to the extent that it has done.
 The bill regarding the boundaries between this state and New York, was recalled at the instance of Senator Bishop who wished the portion stricken out which instructs the Cover nor, in case of the failure of the proposed com mission to agree on boundary line, to begin suit in the U. s. Supreme court to have that matter finally settled. This was in reality the vital point of the measure. An inter state commission has already reported as regards the boundary and the State of New York has refused to abide by their decision The Senate fell in with Mir. Bishops view, and passed a substitute prepared by him. The House very properly rejected the emasculated bill, and the settlement of this long disputed matter is post poned for another year, or longer.

B. F. Butler has evidently made up his mind to rely on the Greenback dodge for re- election, next fall. His course, this session, and especially his assisting the Democrat Dean to seat to which he was never elected, will put him too far outside the Republican party to admit of his running as. their candi- date. In fact the Republican party of Massa- chusetts, now happily cleansed of Butlerism, Simmonsism and Blainism, is the most out spoken reform organization in the country.

Lockport, Mass, April I'd, ls47,--
Mr.. EDITOR: Having read IN your paper
reports of the remarkable cures OF
catarrh, | am induced to tell "what |
know about catarrh," and ] fancy the
snuff and inhaling-tube" makers (mere
dollar grabbers) would be glad If they
could emblazon similar cure In the
papers. For 2G years l suffered with
catarrh. The nasal passage became
completely closed. Snutl, dust, ashes,
inhaling tubes and sticks, wouldn't work,
though at intervals | would sniff up the
so-called catarrh snuff. until | became
valuable tester for such medicines.
gradually grew worse, and no one can
know how much suffered or what
miserable being was. My head ached
over my eyes SO that was confined TO
my bed for many successive days, suffer-
ing the most intense pain, which at one
time lasted continually for l6S hours.
All sense Of smell and taste gone, sight
and hearing impaired. body shrunken
and weakened, nervous system shattered,
and constitution broken, and was hawk.
Ing and splitting iSeven.eights Of the time.
prayed for death to relieve me Of my
suffering. A favorable notice In your
paper Of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy In.
duced me to purchase package, and use II
with DR.. Pierce's nasal douche. which APP
plies the remedy by hydrostatlc pressure,
the only way compatible with common
sense. Well, Mr.. Editor, 1t did not cure
me In three-iourths Of second, nor In
one hour or month, but In less than eight
minutes l was relieved. and In three
months entirely cured, and have re-.
NAMED so for over sixteen months.
While using the Catarrh Remedy, used
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
to purity my blood ami strengthen my
stomach. also kept my liver active and
bowels regular by the use Of his Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. If my experience
will induce other sufferers to seek the
same means OF relief, this letter will
have answered Its purpose.
Yours truly, 8. ID, REMicE,
