The Connecticut legislature adjourned Saturday sine die. The usual formalities, presentations, etc., took place in both houses. The legislature has been re- putable body, of more than the average Speaker Barbour made one of the best presiding officers the house has had for years. No business of much importance was passed during the last days. A bill was passed providing that towns which have not a high school shall pay the whole or a part of the tuition of child to attend school in another town. A bill was pass ed paying county commissioners by sala- ry; 1t fixes the salary at from $1 800 in New Haven county, to $500 in Holland county. Senator Converse, chairman of the appropriation committee in, the sen- ate, and Representative Frisbie, of the house, announced that the committee had gone over the matters of income and ex- pense and, as far as could be ascertained, the expenses of the state for the next two years would be $4, 5O7, ,33O, and the income would be $4,661, ,56O. 70, an excess of rev enue of $154, ,23O.7O. This does not in- elude the income from the succession tax. A bill was passed requiring selectmen to erect guide posts at the intersection of all highways before September 1st, with the exception of within the limits of cities and boroughs.

 The road examiners appointed by the town start on their duties this week. The roads are let to be repaired for three years by contract, to be kept in repair to the acceptance of the inspector. The con- tractors have started i'll on a cheap scale, waiving the demand for good roads, which the public will never enjoy until water drains are kept open to thoroughly drain the road bed, and all low places rounded up so as to keep the water off and give the pedestrians dry road to travel over instead of through pools of water after every shower. -~ The prospect for fruit in this section is not as good as earlier in the season, ex- cept for small fruits
 Business is dull, notwithstanding the oft-repeated promise of good times in the near future. If manufacturers felt that way they would be less anxious to sell their plants. It is reported that the Eagleville mill and all the messuages be- longing thereto can be purchased for less than half it's cost, and the Kenyon mill in South Coventry is offered for $20, ,000. with all the houses and buildings connect ed herewith. It is large wooIen mill, on a good water power, near the railroad, and said to have cost $1OO,OOO. It is claimed that the machinery is old and a serious hindrance to it's sale.

The state board of equalization, con- posed of State Treasurer Grosvenor and Comptroller Mead, have completed the equalization Of the grand lists of the towns for October, 1896. The new valu- ations have no application whatever to local taxation, nor to the state tax, the legislature having refused to lay state tax on the towns for the next two years
 The sole application of the addition made to the town lists, by the board, is in the matter of county taxes. These have been laid by the county representatives of the several counties within the past two weeks, on the basis of the county grand lists, as reported, and before the addi- tions were fixed by the board. The re- suit will be that the tax rates fixed, owing to the increased valuations, will yield larger revenues than had been estimated. The county tax for Holland county re- gently laid is 1 mill, and this increase in list will increase the taxes $4,O1O. Vernon will pay one-half the county taxes The grand list for Holland county is given be- low. The amount in the second column is the addition when one was made

The United States government immi- grafton station on Ellis Island was burned Tuesday morning. All the immigrants, 200 In number, were finely taken safely from the island to the barge office at New York. All the valuable records in the buildings are, undoubtedly, saved. The buildings on Ellis Island were simply vast wooden sheds made of the most infiam- mable material. The fire had started in one of the towers of the main building. All buildings, including the detention hall, the hospital, the disinfecting houses, Dr. Whites house and the inspectors houses were destroyed. The buildings and plant are said to have cost the government S75O, 900.

The sultan of Turkey has appealed to the czar of Russia and the emperor of Germany to support his claim to the an- nexation of Thessaly to the Ottoman em- pire. The ambassadors of the powers are greatly displeased, and will probably de- cline to negotiate the other points con- nected with the settlement of the war un- til the retrocession of Thessaly is settled. The settlement of the Greece and Turkey war Is requiring great deal of time and encountering many difficulties.
