After a few bills had been attended to resolution of thanks to the Hon w. Edgar Simonds for the ability, courtesy and kindness with which he had dis charged the duties of speaker, and an- other by Mir Newton of Durham pre- senting the gavel and block to the speaker, were proposed and it was an- nounced that they would be acted on together.
 We do not notice that any members of Litchfeld county expressed their re- grets at the closing of the legislature. but several members from other coun- ties spoke in such sorrowful manner about broken ties, etc, that one would infer that their recent occupation was just to their taste. One striking coinci- dence was the fact that nearly every member who spoke so feelingly was Q man of wealth and could get home every night You did not hear any regrets from members who were forced to stay in the city three or four nights in the week.
 Thus endeth the legislature of 1885.
 To our readers we will say that we have endeavored to give an account of the doings of the legislature which was of personal interest, leaving out all that would not prove interesting, and we hope we have succeeded.

 While Elias Howe was counting out the money with which he paid of the three months arrearages due his regi- ment, stranger, who was clergyman, approached him and said he had heard of Mir Howe's hberality and had called to ask him to contribute toward build ing a church for his congregation.
 'tChurch, church, said Mir Howe, without looking up from the thousand dollar bills which he was counting, building churches in war times when so much money is needed to save our country! What church is it?'
 "St Peters church, /" replied the cler- gyman-

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

wEDEsDAY, APRIL 2. SENATE.
 The senate met at 12 NJ.
 The senate adhered in its action re- garding the Birmingham fishway and the matter was again indefinitely post poned. This virtually kills the bill, al- though it passed the house by a good majority. The bill as presented was to force the Birmingham dam company to live up to their agreement in building a suitable fshway over their dam whereby shad and other fish could pass the dam, and it was in the interest of all parties in Litchfield and Fairfield counties that it should pass. Probably the senate could explain what induced them to override the bill. Much praise should be given to P. ". Wells, ex-member from Roxbury, who took the initiative step in this matter and who labored hard in its advocacy, but who appears to have labored in vain to force company who took from the state one of its best water franchises and now obstinaly refuses to live up to it's agreements.
 The senate passed other bills, but they are not of general interest.
 HOUSE.
 The house met at 12:15.
 The matter of the fishway at Birming- ham was called up. Messrs Staub and Slade spoke in favor of the resolution and MT Clark against it. Mir Joslyn said this company came here some years ago asking great privilege-the right to dam the free waters of the Housatonic river. They obtained the privilege and failed to comply with the conditions on which it was given. He called for the reading of the substitute bill. It calls for a way not less than 14 feet wide, with Is inches depth of water, the whole to be finished by November l, 1886, and a penalty of S5000 in case of neglect. Mir Frisbie said the charter provided for a fishway and for the payment of damages if none that was effectual could be built. The company built way which was a failure, and had paid damages to the people up stream. There was no doubt now as to the sufficiency of any way yet devised. Mir Lake of Woodstock said the bill had more support and more op- position in committee than any other. He believed the residents along the river had lost half a million dollars by the building of the dam. He was heartily in favor of the resolution. MT Joslyn read from the charter to show that the company was required to maintain a fish way Tn any event. The substitute bill was then-passed.
 After other work the house adjourned.
 THURSDAY, APRIL 23. SENATE
 The senate met at 10:30.
 This Is the 56th and last day of the session unless the governor sees fit to call a special session and there is no probability that he will do such rash act.
 The day was principally spent in pass ing complimentary remarks as to the fairness of the speaker in his official ca- pacity and consisted mostly of spread eagle style of oratory which would have

The Grand Jury on Land Frauds,

The Grand Jury in the second iu- diClal district of this Territory, in their report call attention to land frauds in the following manner:
 Through the investigations institu- ted by this Grand Jury it has become evident that extensive frauds have been perpetrated in connection with Homestead, Exemption and Desert Land Entries in this county. We find that much of the land, the title of which has passed from the United States, has been procured by perjury We find that criminal prosecution for many of these offenses is barred by Statute of Limitation. We therefore respectfully request this court to com municate the above fact to the Inter for Department, Washington. D. C., that proper steps may be taken by the Department to restore said land to the public domain.

Water Tanks.

The catchment of water during the winter months for use during the dry season is receiving more general atten- ton in every portion of the South west. Arizona is peculiarly adapted for this method of providing suffic- fen, supply of water the year round, on account of its mountainous charac. ter. The thousands of deep canons aud basins that can be found at almost every point in the Territory can, with the expenditure of comparatively little money, be converted into reser. voirs capable of holding the most abundant annual rainfall ever enjoyed by the Territory since the deluge. So far. to our knowledge, there has not. however, been any attempt to test even the practicability of the scheme by so much as a careful survey, al- though On its face It appears less ex. rensive than the prospecting for arte. sian water-whlch, though often sought, has never been obtained north oi the Salt river. A small appropria- ton by the general Government would ensure such survey as would speedi- ly demonstrate the possibility of se- curing by catchment any valuable supply of water for either stock or ir- rigating purposes, and should the re- suit of the survey prove that 1t can be done, capital will not long be want ing to reclaim and make valuable, by furnishing water, the fifty thousand square miles of grazing ard tillable land which without it will forever re- main almost worthless. -Hoof and Horn.
