or Members Of the egislature-A New
Eatt1on.

A Biographical sketch of the members of the
6lst legislature has been issued but as it
does not enter into the details of their history
as much as some thought it ought, we have,
with enormous labor, and after consulting
and exhausting all the authorities, both an
cient and modern, that we could procure,
evolved from the gigantic interstices of our
inner consciousness the following true and
impartial history of this renowned assembly.
Aroostook furnishes the principal Porers
of the session, although it is bu, Phair to say
that she sends a Cyr among US who can predi-
cate our future as we'll as any fortune teller
or astrologer who ever lived. which is no
small praise. York county Mar reil-come
to all. She furnished the Staple members
Of the last legislature. and she still
keeps up her record BY sending Small but
Shap (s) leigh and Harmonious delegation
who are Good always. o! what Fall was
that my countrymen. The member from
Waterville should be able to sing, 'Believe
me if all these N. Deering young charms &c. 4"
Kennebec sends q Spear for the Chase, and
Barroirs to carry the game DER the snowy
Msad-er Heath to the principle Ward of the
Capital. In years long past and gone. when
. man was about to leave his business be-
tween two days, he would say, "My name is
Haynes" but now who among us would not
be very much elated to be able to say, "My
name is Haynes." We are inclined to think
that members of pugnacious qualities
will find Knox county q hard Case,
for though there is net much Gushee about
her, she will ever be found Buckfin on her
armor when the bell rings for Eaton. Our
Chamberlain is from Lincoln, and all the
Noyes heard in Augusta this winter will come
from that quarter. She also sends . fine
specimen of veined Marble from the quarries
of Waldoboro, and ''mira5ile dittu," let our
esteemed friend Bro. Gilbert hide his dimin-
ished head forever, we have on one branch of
the legislative tree Blossom over 60 years
old! Hands of, We beautiful bellies of Angus
ia, this Blossom is not to be plucked by youth
full hands. Oxford is represented by some of
the principal trades of the country; . Taylor,
and Chandler; and also furnishes the
"Clark" of the session. Penobscos is noted
for her lumber, and accordingly sends . spec
linen of Exeter Oak well polished and fin
ished, Cutler to keep our tools in order, and
Piper to keep us in good spirits. There is
member from that district who is well
known to the sporting fraternity; but we
would respectfully inform them that they will
find it mighty hard to make game of that
For; and would suggest to the Hon Speaker
that it would he very appropriate to place the
said member on the committee on Fisheries
and game. If the gentleman from Kendus-
keag Piper] thinks he can play any instru-
ment he picks up, we think he will find
his mistake when he undertakes to manip-
ulate the Tabor from Waldo. which is
not all Rust by any means, neither will he be
very successful in catching on to the dyer
the first time he tries. From Waldo's wild
and rocky hills comes a Ioung Hatch of
Brorn and hardy mountaineers, who wilr
Pierce their way through Weeks of Nutting
in Hathorne groves. Washington, for won
der. sends the only Freeman on the legisla-
tive floor. We have two members, Talbot
well propOrtioned, who will oversee every
thing of importance on our checkered floor,
and make such reports thereon as they see
fit. Our shipping is composed wholly
of Briggs, but their capacity for
stowage is remarkable. and they are well
found from their stems to their Stearns, and
good top hamper. Cumberland 4mes to be
Hale and jovial. but let her Knapp get turn
ed the wrong way and one could soon see
what would become of the State. She is
noted for her agricultural interests. and
speaking of these 'we are reminded of that
beautiful pen picture of the farmers home
'.The Cotter's Saturday Night" How plainly
we can see him as he ''gathers up his work
ing tools" preparatory to going home, "hoplng
the morn in ease and rest to SPEND" and it
is no great praise to say that these imple
ments, (.uattoeks &C., are emblems of solid
integrity and honesty when welded by such
hands as then used them and they indicate
hard and rugged work. but they bring
sweet reward.
