 HARTFORD Jan. 27. Special to the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 One of the liyeliest days of the session was that of to-day. Bills and resolutions, backed up by numerous petitions, were presented in quantities that were absolutely appalling. Bills of almost every conceivable description were emptied upon the clerks desks by the lively messengers, who hurried hither and thither about the chamber collecting the bills as they were presented by the members. An old legislator remarked that he never before saw such an avalanche of new business in one day. "But the committees will make short work of some of them,' said he, "and am not discouraged over the prospect Of aho,t session yet" Tomorrow will be the last day for receiving now business, whom another, and perhaps still larger, outpouring of proposed Legislation may be looked for. Some of the proposed laws already intro dneed have undoubted merit In them, while
 
 will be quickly disposed of by the commit tees by adverse reports duly accepted by both branches,
 There was brief hearing on the proposed amendment te tho "sheft haul" bill before the Railroad committee this afternoon George !. Smith, of Westpert, appeared in advocacy of tho bill and Hon Henry O. Robinson looked after the interests of the railroads, The hearing was continued until next Friday afternoon,

 Hon. William D. Bishop was before the Finance committee to advocate change in the law regarding the taxation of equipments and property of leased railroads running out of the State.
 Dr. Knight, superintendent of the School for Imbeciles at Lakeville, was before the Committee on Appropriations to urge an appropriation of $5,000 for new building. Superintendent Howe of the Reform school was before the same to advocate that the price paid by the State of $2.25 per week for the board of boys at this institution be increased to $2.50. Adjutant General Smith also appeared before this committee to ask that the balance remaining on hand of the $200, ,000 appropriated for new armories be turned over to his department to pay bills already contracted and for which no appro priation was made last year. The balance so remaining is about $S,OoO.

 ''When the amount of the account of any individual depositor shall have reached the sum mentioned in section one the treasurer of the savings bank shall so notify the depos tor by mail and inform him of the provis- ions of this act."
