| MONTPELIER, Oct IL.
a joint assembly was held, this forenoon,
in which the report of the canvassing COM
mittee of the votes for county and probate
officers was read and adopted Several va
cancies in iusticeshps of the peace were
filled.
Although this is unqucstionibly an able
Legislature it labOis under the usual disabil-
ity of the new members to gel "the hang of
the school house The two houses must
move slowly until they learn. And some of
them protest against being hurried by those
more experienced. The session, after all,
am afraid, will be of the usual Length.
