Sharp-Eyed Legislator.-A few days since, one of the Honorable Reps, from the western parts of tho state, whose busi- ness it is to see if he can present more or- ders than any one else, and read written speeches louder than all the rest of the brotherhood can cough, presented an order 10 have an inquiry instituted into the man. ner of rickling mackereI, and the necessi- ty of further laws to regulate the samc.- He made an explanation of the meaning of the order, and said he had been credi- ply informed that in a great many cases, mackerel were pickled with the heads on, and as nobody ever ate the heads, he con sidered it an imposition; for, sir, we arc compelled 10 pay for great many pounds of mackerel that we don't buy. Some oth- CT gentleman, whose eyes are more nccus- toned, probably, to the complexion of pckIed fish, asked the close calculating legislator, fine would not amend his order, so as to have the tails cut off and the back bone taken out, for we never eat those, 1t is decidedly an imposition to have them sold to us.

 The fact is, some sly wag has been tam pcring with the credulity of the good hon est man, and in the cagerness of making as many laws as possible, he set to work like fsI, going tail foremost.
