Enlistment of a normal school at Fort

commission and the sealer of weights
and measures. The former is a senate

He had found that there was necessity

A message from the house announced
a refusal to concur in the amendment
to the canaigre root bounty bill this
change being that the bounty shall be
paid on dried root.
Mr.. Booth moved that the senate re-
cede from its position. AS he under
stood it it took four or five tons of

or the bill would have been hung I'D
