 MR. EDITOR. .-''Llke the breaking up of a hard winter" is the phrase often applied to things of disagreeable aspect and of which one is continually reminded when contempla- ting the outdoor world at this season.
 One of the worst consequences of such ''breaking up" is the disease engendered by the uHwholesome exhalations arising from the foul matter that has accumulated on the sur face, while Mother Nature has enjoyed her winter repese, and whence proceed the many ailments that at this season afflict humanity The most carefully guarded little children are frequently attacked with croupy symptoms and require prompt attention. For the benefit of those who like myself cannot immediately summon medical attendance will state lit tie of my experience in such cases. A little boy three years old was awakened in the night by the hoarse cough and distressed breathing that almost always poecedes croup A half a teaspoonful of glycerine and little honey soothed the little fellow so that a refreshing slumber succeeded and few days attention to diet restored him to health. More recently child about two became very creupy and needed more energetic measures. A half tea spoonful of gycerine was first administered, and paper smeared with lard and sprinkled with ginger was applied to the chest. AS sine would swallow the loasened phlegm, another half teaspoonful of glyceIine was administered in about half an hour into which was stirred some powdered borax. This caused her to throw off the phlegm without apparent nausea; and the remainder of the night was one of re- pose to child and attendant The few succeed ing days she would be comfortable, but for several nights the same process was repeated till the cold was cured and health returned. The ginger on the chest caused thick rash : to cover the surface, and made one think that scarlet fever might have resulted in delay.

The resignation of Warden Hewes seems to be accepted as substantial confession of bad management involving the directors as we'll as the retiring officer against whose conduct of affairs so much has been said.
 The passage of the bill through both Houses repeating the ten per cent reduction of salaries, is on the whole good measure. There was some saving under that law, but much of the reduction came upon the wrong people. The passage of the bill allowing sale of | liquors in no-license towns for mechanical and medicinal purposes by agents chosen by the selectmen, is one of the amendments which the law has long needed. Whether the bell punch system will affect much, if it becomes law, is matter regarding which we have great doubt
 The action of the Senate in regard to rail- road fares is little peculiar, to say the least, | The special committee reported a bill which, in view of the importance of the principle in- | volved, they proposed to continue to the next general assembly having the same printed with the laws. The House so voted, but the Senate insisted upsn rejecting the bill. Considering the interest that has been taken in this matter and that it has been deemed of sufficient im- portance to go to a special committee, we think the Senate acted very strangely in refus- ing to let the bill reported by that committee go before the people for consideration. | We wait with much interest for the action of the conference committee, and of the Houses thereon, regarding the extension of minority representation to grand jurors, constables and justices. The bills passed the House but were attacked in the Senate by Senator Coe, for what reason he did not say, and defeated with out discussion. The opposition to this reform has generally come from the House where town majorities only are represented In the Senate, where minority parties have representation as well as majority. there has been heretofore 8 disposition to give this plan fair trial We had never suspected MT. Coe of the petty par tisanship which chiefly objects to minority representation on town boards

Connecticut Railroading.

The committee on the reduction of railraau fares and freights, in view of the admitted fact that no bill for the relief of the public could pass the Senate at this session, finally conclud- ed to report bill, and recommend that it be continued to the next session of the General Assembly, and be printed along with the laws. The rules of the House required that the bill should be entered upon the calendar, and await it's regular order before it could be acted upon, but MT. Treat, of Bridgeport, chairman of the regular railroad committee, at once, and very discourteously, took charge of the bill, and without proposing that the rule be sus- pended, moved that the report be accepted. The vigilant speaker failed to discover that the motion was out of order. and put the question immediately. The bill was thus, for the time being, quietly disposed of without debate, and without giving even the committee which re- ported it an opportunity to say word in ex- planation of their action. The Senate has re- fused to concur with the House in continuing ! insisted upon it's action, and appointed Messrs | Catlin, of Harwinton, and Colyer of Darien, a committee of conference. It is quite seriously suggested that, unless the Senate recedes from | it's action, motion be made that the House reconsider and pass the bill, after simplifying it by striking out two or three of its sections in regard to freights
 The regular railroad committee, of which Mr. Treat of Bridgeport is chairman, has fail l ed to command the confdedce of the House. | Within the past fortnight, not less than five bills, reported adversely by that committee, have been passed by the House, and one bill incorporating the bond-holders of the New York, Housatonic and Northern railroad com pany, reported favorably, has been rejected by the Senate.
