 HARTFORD, April 9, 1886. Special to the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Both branches of. the General Assembly have been decidedly busy to-day, and while the number of bills disposed of has not been as large on some other days of the session, yet they were, as a rule, more important, thls class of legislation, as is usual, coming near the close of the session. There have been a number of dissgreeing votes also, and bills have see sawed between the two houses at rapid rate fin most cases an agreement has been reached or @ compromise made, but there were a few cases in which an agree ment could not be reached and the bills falied on this account.
 Only few hours more of work remain and there are but very few measures to be disposed of. Bo'h houses will convene again on next Tuesday afternoon to finish up what there is remaining and then come together again on the following day and go through the forms of final ad- journment. The members were feeling happy this afternoon in view of the fact that their labors were so near an end, and when the House adjourned gave themselves up to fun and frolic. They used each other for targets and paper wads flew thick and fast about the chamber. Many beat retreat under the fusilade, while others stood up as manfully as though they were facing an enemy on the field of battle, ard ducked their heads as quickly to avoid. paper ball as if it had been solid shot from an enemy's cannon. This was kept up for an hour and then there was hurrying for the trains, the members who could do so being anxious to reach their homes tonight.
