Two Years For Town Clerks.

It is said that Representatives from New Haven and Fairfield counties will urge bill in the coming Legislature that Town Clerks be elected for two years instead of one, as at present. The idea seems to meet with the favor of many of the lawyers and will no doubt have the approval of the people gen. erally, especially in the larger cities and towns. This will be the first time the matter has ever been brought to the attention of the Legislature. It is held that the position is too important one, and the duties too in- tricate, to risk being turned over to an inex perienced man every year.

riding to Venice on the ''silent horse" would move many of us to feel surprise, were it not that journeys of equal length have already been undertaken and successfully accom- plished by members of English bicycle clubs.
 The trip. for instance, from John OGroat's
 house to the Lands End, or from London to Marseilles, is not much shorter than that from London to Venice, yet the difference between the two former and the latter may readily be imagined by those who have ever ! travelled from Switzerland into Italy by the Simplon, the St. Gothard or the Spulgen ! Passes. The bicycle has been suggested as a vehicle which might be advantageously util- \ ized for warlike purposes; but the difficulty ! of going up hill or of travers1ng broken ! ground upon the smooth gliding machine seems to initiate against the notion of at ! tempting to put our English Uhlans upon l wheels. MT. A. Brown, of Breckenhelm, tells l us that he crossed the Alps twice on bicycle l in 1878; and MT. Charles l.. Maddox, of the
 Wanderers Bicycle club, writing from the vil-
 lage of Sin1plon, announces that he and his
 companion, Mir. Fletcher of the Kent Bicycle ! club, had got thus far on their road to Venice,
 although upon arriving at Berisal-which IS a | little hamlet, not far from Brieg in the valley
 of the Rhone-they found that 8 heavy fall of snow, which still lay between them and
 the Hospice de St. Bernard at the top of the pass, made further progress upon their blcy.
