The Proposed Law of Making Six Towns of This District Into One Probate District.

EDITOR BEE The above law, which is proposed to be enacted in tho present session of the General Assembly, is an outrage on the people of at least five towns, and none more so than the resi- dents of Newtown. It is an act of cen- tralization, that would subject the peo- pie of the town to great inconvenience, much loss, and in the future consider able expense. Then there is not one re- deeming feature in the proposed act. The great boast of New England States is that most towns control their own affairs, and who will say that in the past this has not been the great mainstay of their Hb- critics We trust the authorities of the town will see to it, that the ablest and most worthy of our citizens will appear before the the committee, to which this bill is referred, and that they will be armed with petitions signed by every le- gal voter in town. We are confident our worthy representatives will exert them selves as much as possible to consign this infamous bill to the waste basket, where it belongs. We understand a petition will be circulated among the people, and we are confident that no one is dead enough to the interests of the whole peo- pie as to refuse his signature.
 Yours, etc.,

 The Litchfield Enquirer, of January says, "The snow storm of Wednesday evening, prevented a large audience at the reading of Miss Lahcashire but the few who were present listened to some what remarkable elOcutionary power il one so young, and one who has had SC little experience before the public "
