Legislative Items.

The event of the past week has been the passage by the House of the Biennial Sessions amendment, almost unanimously. The Hart ford papers have opposed the amendment, probably fearing that it will deprive that city of some of the business advantages expected from frequent legislative sessions Elsewhere the feeling is strongly in favor of the amend ment.
 The judiciary commettee has finally report cd tramp bill somewhat milder than the New Hampshire statute, but severe enough. The tramp is given year in State prison; if found armed, five years. The act does not apply to women, children under 16 or those begging within their own towns It is a dread fully harsh, but perhaps necessary measure.
 The Temperance committee have reported a bill giving counties per csnt towns, 20 per cent; and the state, 75 per cent, of the money received for licenses. They will also report bill authorizing the appointment of agents to sell liquor for lawful purposes in mo license' towns.

A PAIR OF THEM-Litchfield county furn- ished rather more than it's share of wonderful stories for the city press, the past week. The first of these was the alleged discovery of the skeleton of the celebrated Canaan snake, g feet long, in hollow button-wood in his favor ite swamp, by two men named Kelley and Smith The report was sent to the New York morning dailies, of Friday last, from Pough- keepsie. On Saturday Sun reporter visited Canaan He found no skeleton, no button wood tree, no Kelley, no Smith, no anything, in fact, but that the Po'keepsie story was dreadful hoax.
 In the Sunday Register of last week, there appeared wonderful account of the miracles of healing wrought by a Mrs. Mix, of Vol cottville. The story is not so elaborate nor SO probable as the snake revelation, but it makes aa Interesting article, and the cures are rather more wonderful than most of those which we are in the habit of advertising, in these col umns, for consideration.
 Special attention is called to the concert to be given at Washington, next week, for the benefit of Dr. Remus Fowler, of that place. People Of Morris and Bethlehem, whom in years gone by he has so often succored in their distress, are particularly requested to give this most laudable undertaking hearty support The concert will, also, we have no douot, stand we'll on it's own merits aside from the meritorious object for which it is given.
 
 Tine N. Y. Times and other Republican pa pers, are abusing Gen. Barlow, of New York, because, going to Florida as a Republican ''visiting statesman" be became convinced that Tilden was entitled to the electoral vote of the State, and advised Dr. Cowgirl, of the Returning Board to so decide. This, it seems, was ''treachery." With few more suct ''traitors" there might be more honesty in poll tics.

Indian Depredations.

The fair reader shudders when she thinks of
the settlers wife watching, from the door of
her rude hut, the retreating form of her hus-
band going out to his daily labor-going out
perhaps to return not again, for before night
fall a savage hand may have laid him low
among the prairie grasses. Or it may be
child, a bright-eyed daughter, is snatched
away in an unguarded moment, to grace the
next war dance. When we read the heart
rending details of these savage depredations,
we are apt to blame the government for not
taking more strict precautions to insure the
settlers protection. But we daily read of the
depredations of that arch-fend, consumption,
with scarcely thought of the terrible inroads
it is making in human life. Tens of thousands
of homes are annually desolated by consump-
ton to one by Indian outrage. Like the
Indian, consumption oftenest comes stealthily,
and no danger is apprehended until the victim
suddenly finds himself hopelessly ensnared,
and deaths fatal arrow ends the scene. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery powerful
Alternative, or blood-purifier, and tonic, has
restored thousands of consumptives who had
tried every other remedy recommended to
them, without obtaining any relief, and are
willing to testify to its remedial powers.
