Connecticut Railroading.

The committee of conference were unable
 agree in regard to the bill to regulate railroad
 fares and freights, and, consequently, the Sen-
 ate adhered to it's vote to indefinitely postpone it. When the bill reached the House. there
 was quite determined effort on the part of the Heading members" to politely crowd it along to the last hours of the session. On Thursday morning it was called up by Judge Catlin, but. as ''there were important matters on the calendar for the Senate yet to act upon," he was asked to give them the preference and thereupon the House devoted nearly two
 hours to the consideration of the more imper-
 tant question whether the convict Allen, of New Milford, should be released from the States prlson, where he was sentenced for life
 for killing his brother. In the afternoon the
 bill was again called up, but 'there were other
 important matters for the Senate to act upon. " Judge Catlin said that he had an amendment
 to offer which he hoped would make the bill
 so satisfactory that the Senate would not only
 act upon it, but pass it. He moved that the | House reconsider its action, and the motion
 was adopted. He then proposed to amend by l striking out the sixth section. Mir. Treat, l chairman of the railroad committee, "wanted 1 to know how the bill got before the House ?' 4 motion was made that the House adhere to

 Imagine the effect upon the minds of men already filled with distrust of Democracy of the spectacle of the refusal of their well-earned pay to Sherman and Sheridan, and the other surviving heroes of the war, by the very men whose treason summoned them to arms! The North would not consent to such an act by such men even for valid reasons How then would it regard proceeding so plainly un- constitutional, so plainly revolutionary? It requires but slight political sagacity to foresee that on such an issue the Democracy could not carry single Northern State in 1S8O and that even Grant could bloom" into Third Term against the very strongest candidate theycould present.

Falls Village.

A very destructive fire occurred in the vii cinity of South Canaan, on the night of the a5th. A very large barn belonging to the Benson family was burned, also destroying all the live stock housed there, which comprised five horses, eight horned cattle, two pigs, poultry, and large stock of farming utensils, including wagons, harnesses, moving ma chimes, etc., to large amount. It was SUD- posed to be the work or an incendiary, as nc light had been used in the barn during the eve. ming, and the fire was not discovered until be tween and a. m. large new house was only saved from destruction by the roof being very wet with snow and rain.

Law.

Our minister told us yesterday that Moses vas learned in the Egyptian law and knew the Levitical Code; that he went upon the Mount and used all his knowledge that his faculties were cleared, inspired, and he framed law that was in vogue without rectifcation among the Jews for fifteen centuries. It is wonderful. I am one that likes to see things little stable, but the law seems made for the strong. It needs intelligence to use it; capi- tal for suit and there must be rectitude in the jury and witnesses. If it is violated should one put it in force if he is not sure of success, or is he a potroon to himself and one who makes 1t intolerable for others?
 As one who appreciates the law, and an edi- tor who gives information for the people, please tell Also the higher law; if one does not use it, is it principle, impersonal and of no existence to him ?-AnOnynoIs Letter.
 Two of the questions proposed in the fore going we infer to be, 1st, whether law is not too costly for the poor; 2d, whether it is cow ardly to submit to imposition, rather than seek it's assistance.
 To the first question our answer would be that poverty is about as often an advantage as a disadvantage to the litigant. Further that no money is to be made in litigating valid claim for less than $10 before justice or for less than $10O before higher court. It must he remembered, however, that it is only claims that are somewhat doubtful which are likely to be litigated. A defendant dislikes useless expense as much as plaintiff. It is only when the claim is more or less doubtful, or doubt fully secured. that litigation often reaches the more expensive stage of trial by court or jury.
 The second question is apparently aimed al lawsuits in which party, though satisfied of his own right dealing, fears that he may not be able to prove it satisfactorily in court Our own view is that there is nothing dishonorable in compromising any claim which is either urged or denied in good faith. Where, how. l ever, a claim is either dishonesty urged, or dishenestlv denied, we should consider it as cowardly not to stand up for our rights, as if one should submit to be robbed of his pocket. book by an unarmed foot-pad, without resis- | tance.
 The third question we do not answer because we do not comprehend its meaning

New Milford.

1 The great social event of New Milford oc- cured on Monday, on the occasion of the marriage of the two daughters of Representa- i tive Noah Hatch of that town; the oldest, Ruth, charming brunette of 21, having cho- sen for her companion through life. MT. James D. Blakeman who has been for many years connected with our jail, land the younger daughter Nora, also pretty brunette of sweet nineteen, being united to Mir. Robert Whittle- sev of New Preston. The interesting ceremo. ny took place at Mir. Hatch's residence at three o'clock Monday afternoon, and was at- tended by at least one hundred friends and relatives, representing the best families in the neighborhood, all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves to their hearts content The nup- tial knot was tied by the Rev. Mr. Williams of Port Laden, N. Y assisted by the Rev. H. Lancashire of New Preston and was performed in very impressive manner,-after which a sumptuous banquet consisting of every delica- cy of the season was served in elegant style, and fully appreciated by the company, who afterwards amused themselves by inspecting
 
 the numerous and costly presents which had been selected with the greatest taste. The happy brides were dressed in rich silks cut in the latest fashion.
 The weather was most propitious, being bright and sunny and augured well for their future if we can trust the old saying that Happy is the bride that the sun shines on." Choice mnsic with fine singing and congratula- tory speeches filled up the time-some we'll chosen remark being made Mayor Boughton of Waterbury, who is brother-in n-law to NIT. Blakeman followed by an excellent speech from Mir. Ed. Stockbridge of Morris and few choice remarks from Officer Frank E! 5. Nun ger in his well known unassnming manner closing with good wishes from Rev Mir. Will Hams and thanks from the bridegrooms. AL together it was most enjoyable affair, every thing going off ''as merry as a marriage bel," and was kept up until the ''still small hours,' when eparty unwillingly broke up after spend ing the pleasantest tune of this season. The young folks have our best wishes and congratu- lations. X,

 The drama of My Brothers Keeper" was assumed in it's several characters by the same persons who acted on a former occasion and whose names were then communicated through the Enquirer. Owing to the unfavorable state of the roads, the audience was less ln numbers than before. Although creditably represented, the drama, as repetition, was hardly up in spirit and energy with it's original production. It may be a question, in view of the great num- Der of choice new plays from which judcious selections may be made how far the associa- tion should follow up the practice of repeat ing performance under any amount of solici- tation. The farce of My Turn Next" occu- pied about an hour in it's representation, and although enacted by the smaller boys of the school, was ''put through" with praise worthy spirit, showing, on the part of the actors a faithful committal of the text te memory, and considerable scenic ability.
