_ Legislative.
We‘igl‘ve *-e?l"ecw1iere condensed reports of
each»\ dpy’lglaoglslative proceedings. There
haa~bce"n-’an unusual dispatch of public busi-
ness upto the present time, and as there are
not likely to arise any questions of very en-
groellnx importance, it seems to be the settled
determination of the Republican members to
bring, the session to a close at the very earli-
est moment consistent with the public inter-
ems-3.1a. financial gderange'mcnts have tended
lasts 3“ the depression of public as well as
privatejreaeuriee,,and as it costs the State
ehouttflitfor each..day the Legislature con-
tiaucs ite'sltting, there is an ample field for
sache‘ationlnotlonln this respect. '
Thegueetion of State Printer has at length
beengeettled, by the election of- Messrs. Bab-
ooekASi'aer,-,o_f the Palladium. It seemed
thogg'e'ljeral conviction that where there were
two-important and influential journals occu-
pying theziame field, common fairness requir-
ed that the pecuniary advantages derived
non thatep'pdutment should alternate.
Mt.-B‘urfiham‘prbves the energetic and ac-
ceptable Speaker that we predicted, and by
his promptnessof action end familiarity with
palliahtary ' rules, will greatly assist‘ .in
hriag‘li'githe' session to an early adjournment.
‘. ‘ 3 5' That Launch.
If anything were needed to impress upon
the-ind of a stranger the. fact that we, that
is thees‘r'ssms of 'Jrorwolk, are a great Pec-
plepth‘e turn out to witness the launch of Capt.
Perris’ y‘Slohooner, on Saturday afternoon,
would, have been conclusive evidence. The
harbor. who fairly alive with every imaginable
speelmen'of sailing craft, from an old fash-
ioned-washing machine to the most elaborate
yacht. In fact everything that could be made
to float and sustain the human animal, wee
brought into requisition; while close packed
on either side of the ways and on every jut-
ting. crag and point,.men, women and child-
ran crowded and joetled each other in eager
wonderment towitnese the launch. At the
hour appointed, the word wee given,and away
alldr‘ thejmast'cr hulk like a duck from the
meadowfsibank, into the foamy deep.
The graft, is a model in strength and beauty
of form,-and a 'moat creditable achievement
for the enterprising firm who have brought
thelr‘labore- to so successful a termination.—
ll‘hc‘ Schooner was gaily decorated with flags,
pennante,.signals, the. We noticed an “ Iron
hound Bucket” hanging from the point of her
how'sjpflt, conspicuously labeled “ cold water,”
indicative, we presume, of the principles
which are” to prevail in her future manage-
ment. _ ' ’

y . Rockies-Driving. .
Our attention has repeatedly been called t
the reckless rate at which certain parties own
ing feathaga, are wont to drive through the
crowded streets of our village. This matter
haebcoo-eaop‘hlpably in violation of our
dawn that the proper place to enter complaint
would be with-the oflccrs thereof, neverthe-
lesewe are willing to enter our protest against
a'prectme fraught with so much danger to
the no and'limb of our citizens. The crowd-
ed etreats about the Bridge are no places for
fast driving. and we trust the good sense of
'cur.viliege jchuee will lead the. to profit by
ourzhlnt-belore any legal steps are taken to
abate ‘so d'ahgerous a practice.

The Continental Vocalists.
All who ‘ever have heard these unrivaled
Siagerswill rejoice with us, that they contem-
plate" paying Norwalk another visit. For some
reason which we never could divine, this troupe
has'herstoforc been unable to secure a full
basins in Norwalk, and last year, in commen-
eing their annual tour westward, they passed
as by in consequence. We have often seen
very inferior Concert troupes draw a crowded
hall, here, while this troupe, which has not
new, and never has land in equal in this coun-
try, aud which in other towns draws out a
concourse of people that no hall . can hold,
sing here to empty benches. We heard a gen-
tleman remark, at the close of their last Con-
cert here, that he would gladly real]: five
miles to hear it repeated. We really hope to
esethaix Hall filled to its utmost capacity
next Saturday Evening, more from a desire
for the gratification of our citizens, than the
pecuniary advantage to be derived by the
Quartotte, although they are refined and ac-
complished gentlemen in every sense of the
word.

New Bakery. '
A new and somewhat extensive Bakery has
just beenestablished in Merwiu Avenue, near
the raddenoe of Henry I. Hoyt Esq. Mr.
Griswold has presented us with two splendid
loaves of Fruit and Pound Cake. elaborately
coated with Masonic, Odd Fellow and other
devices, in sugar. He must have accomplish-
ediwerkar'en inhis employ to turn out such
beautiful, tempting baits for epicurian appe-
tites. we is‘ prepared we learn to furnish
Wheat, Rye, Indian; Graham, (and any other
kind which may be ordered) Bread, on call,
or familihs'willbs supplied at their hoses. in.
so ‘Cakes of every description and kind, for
family use, for"_Parties, Festivals cc, orna-
me’lttedwith any :device from the oldest ma-
sonic emblem, to the latest attitudes of the
fairies." This e'ptablishment is a decided ac-
quleltion' 'to'the' town, and the enterprising
proprietor, it seems, understands where to
come to have his capabilities made public.

Klang‘Bir-da.
We perceive that the practice of shooting
little birds, so persistently continued in each
Spring, by every overgrown lout who can
possess himself of a gun, has again com-
menced. If there is any one act which should
entitle a man to an earnest application of
cowhide boots, it is this wanton destruction of
the little feathery warblcrs, that not only
make our quiet rural homes vocal with song,
and cheerful with forms of beauty, but pre-
serve our fruit from the ravages of the worm
and the fly. For the benefit of those pos-
sessed of so degraded a spirit as to delight in
their slaughter, we append the following copy
of the law against bird killing, and hope ev-
ery menupon whose premises these bird mur-
ders are committed, will see to its rigid en-
forcement:
‘ Sacriox 1. That every person who
shall, between the first day of February
and the fourth day of July in any year,
kill or destroy, have in possession, sell,
or expose for sale, any of that Species of
game called woodcock, or who shall take
or destroy the nests or eggs of the same ;
and every person who, between the first
day of February and the fifteenth of Sep-
tember in any year, shall kill or destroy,
have in possession, sell, or expose for sale,
any of that species of game called pheas-
ants, partridges, or quails, or who shall
take or destroy the nests or eggs thereof,
so taken or destroyed, the sum of one
dollar, to any person who shall prosecute
therefor, in an action upon this statute.
Sher. 2. Every person who shall shoot
at, or kill, any of the birds mentioned in
the proceeding section, or any other bird,
except crows, pigeons, marine birds, wa-
ter fowls, and birds . known as birds of
prey, or shall take or destroy the nests
or eggs of the same, upon lauds not own-
ed or occupied by himself, and without
the license of the owner or occupant
thereof, at any time between the first
day of February and the fourth day of
July in any year, shallforfeit to the own-
er or occupant of such lands, a sum not
exceeding five dollars, in addition to the
actual damage sustained, to be recover-
ed by such owner or occupant, in an action
of trespass.
Seer. 8. Every person who shall be
guilty of a violation of the provisions of
this act, may be punished by a fine, not
exceeding five dollars, or by imprison-
ment in a common jail not exceeding ten
days, or by such fine and imprisonment
both, at the discretion of the court hav-
ing cognizance of the offence.

Firm—The barn belonging to Wm. H. Bir-
chard of Mill Plain District, Danbury, with
its contents was burned on Thursday morning
last. There had been some shooting near the
barn that morning, and it is supposed to have
caught fire from the gun wads.

Bud Roads.
It is commonly .remarked that our roads
have never been in so good condition at this
season of the year. There are however, many
loose stone that have worked out during the
winter,e should be cleared from the more im-
portant thoroughfares. There are also two
very bad mud holes which should be filled,
one in front of the residence of J. M. Carter,
Esq., and the other upon the bend of the fac-
tory road immediately in front of the real-
dence of Chas. Isaacs Esq. The same that
the Road Superintendents’ attention was sev-
eral times called to last year.

sion, in which bears. Stuart and Bright re-
prebended, and Mr. Davis sustained, Mr. Har-
lan’s course, Mr. Rice was sworn in and im-
mediately addressed the Senate with reference
to the charges against himself, denying their
truth and averring that he should demand a
Committee of Investigation. Mr, Harlan at

Mr, Seward was, at his request. excused

Bills.
one of the earliest,most ardent, most thorough
among the Democratic opponents in Congress
of Mr. Buchanan’s latest policy with respect
to Kansas. We believe he made the first
speech in the House against the Lecompfbu
swindle, and down to the week during which
the English bill passed.he denounced that bill
as meaner than .the original Lecompton, and
hardly less atrocious. On Monday of that
week he sent home a letter (which he showed)
taking strong ground against the English cou-
trivanee; on Tuesday, he was of the same
mind; on Wednesday ,ne began to take a dif-
ferent view of the matter ; on Thursday, he
was fully converted to the Erglish faith ;and
on Friday. he was one of its most zealous sup-
porters. Being rather harriod by Mr. Haskin
lnthe debate of that day, he'wrote a note to
The Union. inclosing Gov. Walker’s letter
.in favor of the bill, which he desired to have
published to explain andjustlfy hlsvoto. The
,gist of thatVWalker letter, thus held up as a
shield by Mr. Cox, is as follows .
“ If the bill passes, the odious Lecomp-
tou Constitution, born in fraud and bap-
tized in forgery and perjury, will be de-
feated by an overwhelming vote of the
people of Kansas, thus demonstrating by
practical results the truth of my interpre.
tatiou, that this bill does in fact submit
the Constitution to the popular sufi'rage
for ratification or rejection, which is all I
have ever required.”
Mr.Cox, it will be seen, still regards the
Lecomptou Constitution as “ born in fraud
and baptized in forgery”—as detested by the
People of Kansas, and certain to be rejected
by them if they are allowed a fair vote upon
it. He therefore, does not expect to close the
controversy by passing the English bill. And
yet he votes to give the People of Kansas this
option : “ Take the Lecomptou Constitution
and you shall be in the Union at once, with a
very large slice ofthc Public Lands for Bell-
roads, in addition to the usual grants; Re-
ject the Lecomptou Constitution, and you
must stay out of the Union for an indefinite
period—until an ofiioiai census shall have de-
monstrated that you have at :east 93,000 in-
habitants—dud then take your chance of get-
ting any land for Railroads." This is what
Mr. Cox has voted. not to settle the contro-
versy by getting the Lecomptou Constitution
adopted, but to keep up be agitation for
years to come. He has voted that a po ula-
tou that is sufficient to form a Slave State
shall not be deemed sufficient to form a Free
State—that Land-grunts shall be made to a
Slave State which are withheld from the some
State if she elects to be Free—and that, after
all the sad experience of Kansas Elections, 9.
Pro-Slave Board shall be constituted to de-
signate pol s, appoint election officers, canyon
votes—in short to have complete control over
an election which is to fix the destiny of the
young State. The Grill tendon-Montgomery

fair Election Board {two of cash porty)—-lib-
erty to come in at l Slave or cs 1} Frée State
with the same populationajthe same Lapd-
Grant in either case—and the absolute close
of the controversy in shortest time and with-
out further appeal to Congress, by allowing
Kansas, ln case she rejects Lecompton, to
.form anothchopstllptigu end he at once in
the Union therewrth. Such is Epe [pp of
settlement which Mr. Cox aban on drone
fair and equal in every articular, and cer-
tain to bring the controversy to a speedy ab-
solute conclusion—which Mr. Cox deserted to
take his stand on one which, on his own show-
ing settles nothing, while it exasperates the
Freesmfig men by its gross partiality and
mean appeals to their ovaries and cowardice

Norwalk Steamboat.
MR. Emma—The community are de-
termincd to support the Steamboat Con-
fidence, while the Catallne does not re-
ceive patronage enough to keep the Cap-
tain in the luxuries of life. The owners
of the Confidence have persevered through
hard times, accidents, ppd repairs, and
we do not know.of any two men more
worthy of receiving what business there
is in the Steamboat patronage, than Capt.
W. R. Greene ”it! Mr. Joseph Mazlin.
May their endeavors be reaming, and
we fully believe that a just and discrimi-
nating Public will give their patronage
in the right channel, and not be imposed
on by a representation of being connected
as a Daily Line ; and thus dividing u , the
business so that neither Steamboa will

Terrible Accident.
A frightful accident occurred Tuesday
morning on the New York Central Rail-
road, by the breaking of a bridge about
three miles from Ulicu. Eight persous
are already «loud, and six others barely
“lb-"d, and the injured number fifty or
more. The killed are Ii. More, Rising
Sun, lrcntl crushed ; two children of
Abram MIN-"k 0f Cincinnulti ; an unknown
man ; an Irishman aged about 60, whose
head is. entirely crushed ; :r “(-‘gro whose
legs ‘1'"0 both CW5 011' ; and an inlantchild
of Kan-l Hover oi'St. Louis.
The accident occurred to the Express
train, which was somewhat behind time
and going [It a high speed when it met
an accommodation train on the Bridge,
each train on its own track. The engine
passed safely, but it gave way under the
passenger-cars, precipitating them into
the creek, piling them one above another
and splintering the platforms and seats to
atoms.
Different explanations are current, one
that an axle of the Express Baggage car
broke, throwing the trains together ; the
other attributing the casualty to. the rot-
tcnuess of the bridge.

Mrs
A Hormm Swarm—The “ barrel mys-
tery” is at length completely solved, and
the story reveals a depravity almost in-
credible. The body found was that of
Sophie Warner, who had lived in illegal
intercourse with a man named Henry
J umpertz of Chicago. They formerly
were exceedingly fond of each other, but
be tired of her at length, and left her.—
She followed him to his new abode. A
few days after, as he asserts, he lbpnd her
Imaging by the neck in his room. After
cutting her flesh to be sure that she was
dead, he cut off some portions of the dody
and buried them, and finally backed up
the corpse, and packed it in the barrel in
which it was accidentally found at New.
York. Whether the brute murdered her
or not has not yet been determined.
