A country paper, if it i|s what it should be, is adapted to the wants of the cpdntry.

The Legislature of this State adjourned its sixty- eighth session on Wednesday the 14lh inst., a t four o’clock in the afternoon. The session wsb long, and in several respects an important one. The whole number of acts passed was 367; and many of the most*important of these were crowded into the last day of the session. Several minor bills, b u t still bills of importance to the localities interested, were not reached, and were lost for lack o f time. Among these, we suppose, may be reckoned, the Chenango Bridge Bill, and the measure for the division of tbis Town. N E W YORK AND E R IE RAILROAD. We congratulate our citizens on tlie passfge through the Senate on Wednesday last, of the bill releasing the $3,000,000 State loan on the New York and E. rie Railroad. The vote was, ayes 23—noes, 3. This it is said, will enable the company at once to fill up their Btock, and prosecute this great work energeti cally to its completion. If so, it will be the means of infusing new life and vigor into the whole southern section of the State through which the road passes; and the work itself, when completed, will place us on a level with the North River Counties—bringing us within a few hours of market a t ail seasons—and in addition, will confer untold benefits upon the city of New York, and -the State at large, and the great West—furnishing a capacious and constant channel for the purposes of commerce; and proving itself, what its friends h a re always claimed for it, the great thoroughfare of the New World. T H E EX C ISE LAW. ^The friends of temperance—and who are not its friends— will rejoice at the final triumphant passage of the Excise bill. This law provides for a separate ballot box, and the submission to the people of each town of the question of license or no license. The only regrets in connection with this bill are, that it is too late to make it available this year, and that the city of New York is excluded from its provisions.— A majority of the Senate were of the opinion that the city ig not y e t ripe for buc I i a measure. T H E G O N Y E i m W * The »ct entitled “ An AcV recommending a Con vention of the People of the S tate,” is without doubt, the most important law of the session. . As the set finally passed, the people are left at liberty, in case they decide in favor of\ a convention, to send such delegates as they choose—and it .made obligatory, upon the convention to submit their amendments to the final action of the people separately, unless they shall be of the opinion that it is impracticable. The first action under this law wiil be a t the next general election, when the sense of the people will be taken as to whether they will haye a convention or not. If the decision is in favor of a convention, provision is made for the election of delegates on the last Tuesday in April 1846; the convention will assemble oil the first Monday in J u n e ; the amendments he submitted to the people i t the November election, and such as are adopted take effect on the l i t of January 1847. TOW N AND CO UN T Y EX P E N S E S . The act to reduce the number of town officers and town and county expenses, is another important measure. W e have heretofore given a general out line of its provisions, and shall recur to it again. T H E CANALS AND T H E VETO. An act in relation to the canals passed bpth bran, ches of the legislature and was votoed by Governor W right. The veto message was sent in on Tuesday, evening; and the. House a t once proceeded to recon sider the question, which was finally lost, 56 in favor, of the bill, notwithstanding the governor's objections, and 51 against it—a majority, but not two-thirds, which tbe constitution requires. Tbe bill appropria. ted $179,000 of the Canal revenues for the preserva. tion or completion of unfinished portions of tbe Geney see and Black River canals, and fqy bringing into use certain- portions of the Enlarged Erie canal, at the discretion of the Canal Commissioners, . Ac. &c. A part of these objects of expenditure, Gov. Wright does not object to. The others, be is clearly of o- pinion, conflict with the settled, debt-paying policy of tho State, and the guarantees and pledges heretofore made. The message is an able document, bat. of great length, occupying between seven plod night columns in the Argus. W e shall giVe it eatira or AO abstract o f its contents n e x t -week.

Mrs. A. being awake, heard a slight noise and awake her huiband.

A t .about tbe fourth or fifth blow, Mr. A. floored his antagonist, ah(| not knowing but he had made a finish of him, is he lay perfectly quiet without noise or notion, Mr. A. stepped lo his ro’om again-for a light.

The little fellow did not seem to be more than, seven or eight years old. At this rate iiow long Will it be before some of our children wifi lose their lives in this manner? As yet-no calan\ity of this kind has occurred ; and as in duty bound, we give a timely word o f , caution to the lads themselves,, but more especially to their parents and guardians, whose duty it is, most assuredly, to keep their children out of places of danger. G oy . Dorr. , The Legislature of Rhode Island has refused to liberate Gov. Dorr, and adjourned. The Morning News states that the people, indignant at the conduct of the Fennerites, are petitioning the governor to call an extra session—according to the ATgiis, the legis lature is adjourned to meet again in Junb, when the question will be.again brought up. We ^annot allow ourselves to doubt, since the expression-'of the popu lar will in the election of governor Jackion, that the prison doors of the! patriot Dorr will tip opened’ in some shape, and that speedily.
