Legislative Notes.

THE Grand Isle and North Hero bridge
bill passed the house Monday.
CHAPLAIN Booth of the house is cousin
of Edwin Booth, the tragedian.
IT must be painful for senator to vote
against his convictions, but such little
things must be got used to.
The bill Incorporating the Burlington
Cancer Relief Association was signed by the
governor Friday, and is the first bill to
become a law.
LIEUTENANT-GovERNoR FULLER received
cabegram Thursday from Liverpool,
announcing the safe arrival there of Miss
Maud, his daughter.
THE exemption bill introduced by Repre-
tentative Rowland of Fair Haven would APP
pear to be a fair and just one. Certainly no
one will object to it except creditors.
THE memorial against the passage of the
valued policy bill presented by Repre-
sentative Haseton Of Burlington Monday
represents over three million dollars of in
surance.
JUDGE PoLAND's bill to prevent-if possi-
ble-eXecutors, administrators and guard
ians from embezzling property held in trust
by them is worthy of immediate passage
without debate.
THE house concurred Thursday in the
amendment of the senate to the joint reso-
luton fixing Thursday, November 4th, as
the date of the joint assembly for the cleo
tion of state officers.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, accompanied by
Secretaries Bayard and Endicott, Post
master-general Villas and Commissioner of
Agriculture Coleman, left Washington on "A
special train Thursday morning. On their
arrival in Richmond they were met by
Governor Lee and other officials and es-
corted to the fair grounds On the arrival
of the presidential party a salute of twenty
one guns was fired. An immense concourse
of people witnessed the formal ceremonies
Governor Lee welcomed the president in an
eloquent address. The president was then
introduced. Deafening and prolonged cheers
and the wild waving of hats greeted him
In a clear voice, loud enough to be easily
heard he addressed the immense crowd. His
speech was of about fifteen minutes in
length, congratulating the progress which
the state had made in agriculture and the
arts, and of the necessity of the cultivation
of them by the state would she retain her
position in the nation.
