w. c. Johnson of Newtown is gaining quite a reputation as one of the humorists of the House. He is a rigid and consistent upholder of the rights and dignities of the small towns and will get up at the drop of the hat to scrap with anybody, or over anything that takes on the as pect of hostility to the country towns or infringement of their rights. He is a farmer and comes direct from one of the largest, best kept and most productive farms in Fairfield county. He makes no pretensions to the gifts and graces of platform ora tory, but has a knack of saying the things he means in such manner as to leave no doubt in the minds of his hearers, and a species of dry, caustic and irresistible humor per vades his remarks. He never looks quite so serious as when he cracks a joke, and when he has set the House in roar he wears an expression of pained surprise at the demonstration. He is fine type of the shrewd Yam kee legislator.-[Hart1ord Sunday Post, June 21.
