A committee from the Senate was annonnced, consisting of Senators Isbell and Thomson, who informed the House that the Senate had transacted all their business, and were now ready to adjourn. Mr. Fox moved the appointment of a committee of two, to act with a like committee on the part of the Senate, to wait on the Governor and inform him that the two Houses have no further business before them, and if he has no further communication to make, are now ready to adjourn. Messrs. Fox and Chittenden were appointed as such committee, who, after a short absence, returned and reported that they had discharged the duty assigned them, and had received for answer, that the Executive had no further communications to make. The Speaker then took the chair, and addressed the House as follows: Gentlemen of the House: The hour having arrived which is to close our labors in this Hall, it is fitting that I should render to you my acknowledgment for the token of kindness and respect which you have just placed upon record. If, in the discharge of my duties as the presiding officer of this body, I have acquitted myself to your satisfaction, the most ardent wish of my heart has been gratified. Our session has been a long one-much longer than we could have anticipated when we first assembled; yet when we look upon the mass of business which has been before us for our action, we can justly say that this has been a busy-very busy-session. We are now about to return to our families, and to our constituents, and in all probability we shall all never again meet this side the grave. That the kindly feelings engendered, and the friendships formed, during our official intercourse may be as lasting as they are gratifying, is the heartfelt prayer of him who now addresses you. With this expression of gratitude, gentlemen, I bid you all farewell. On motion of Mr. Chamberlain, The House adjourned sine die. INDEX. PETITIONS, MEMORIALS, REMONSTRANCES, &c., PRESENTED. Of N.
