 The Winsted Citizen of Nov 2 says: ''Thursday, November 27th, has been named by Governor Bulkeley as Thanks giving Day." We have spent an hour this (Saturday) afternoon examining ex- changes but we fail to find Thanksgiv- ing proclamation. Neighbor Van Keu- ren. did Governor Bulkeley issue his Thanksgiving proclamation before last Tuesdays election?

 Mir Samuel A. Eddy proved to be a most excellent legislative clerk. His duties as assistant clerk at the session of 1887 were hy no means light unless compared with his duties as clerk at the session of 1889. The number of bills introduced at this last mentioned ses- sion was unprecedented. Few realize the amount of work which devolved upon the clerk, but he faithfully performed it. After 50 well earning the position of clerk of the senate for the session of 1891, all who are personally acquainted with Mir Eddy and the services he has rendered the state, felt sorry to have him cleft out in the cold" by the re- cent change in the political complexion of the senate We think that democrats as we'll as republicans will be glad to learn that the state will undoubtedly secure MT Eddy's services and that he will not be entirely left ont in the cold, I although the senate, plum which he SC we'll earned, falls to another person. The Hartford Courant of Nov 8th says The Senate being democratic, the usual process of moving the Legislative clerks along will not be carried out in 1891. MT Samuel A Eddy, the clerk o1 l last years House, will undoubtedly be chosen to that position again, and MI l Andrew F. Gates will with equal cer. tainty be chosen assistant clerk. Both gentlemen gave great satisfaction at the last session and they will do even bette, this time after two years more of ex- perience. Conn. Weekly Press sAssOciatiOn.
