&TThe Anniversaries Of the Home and Foreign
Mission Societies Of Litchfeld County, were holden
in the Congregational church in this village on the
18th inst The meeting in the morning, devoted to
Home Missions, was addressed by Rev. MI. LYMAN
of Plymouth, Rev. Mr.. Savage, formerly of Utica, N
Y, and Rev. Mr. Thompson of New.Haven The
meeting in the afternoon for the furherance of For
eign Missions, by the Rev. Mr.. Parmelee of South
Farms, Kew. MIR. Thompson of New-EIaVe and Rev.
DIR. Armstrong one of the Secretaries of the Parent
Board. The day was pleasant, and the large and nt
sentve audiences assembled showed that the inter-
est OF the good people Of this county in these great
causes, has suffered no abatement We have our no.
tlcal' agricultural and military gatherings, each
we'll enough in its way; but there is in this annual
meeting OF the friends OF the Redcemer to consult TO-
gether for the promotion of the interests of His
Kingdom, and to give of their resources to carry it
forward, something more important and nobler than
them all. We welcome this convention of Chris
tans coming up hitler as the tribes went IN II L.
rusalem to worshp;" and we hope that every revol.
wing year will witness as large an assembly, as res
pectable, and interested one as favored US with
their presence on the above occasion We are graf
Tiled to learn that the amount contributed in the sew
eral towns, with few exceptions is larger than was
contributed last year. We observe that the collec.
ton IN Kew MIR. Braces Society in this town, for
Foreign Missions, is about $35O.-bcng an increase
OF about $40 over the collection of 1872 If all the
other towns had advanced in the same propor,ion.
we should have had a round $4,000 with which tn
have subserved the interests of the Board Nav we

we would remark in this place, that it is very de-
slrable. not only that collections in the several towns
should be taken up at the times appointed, but also
that the respective sums should be promptly for,cord

OHIO A WING STATE!
A Wing House and a Wing majority in Join,
Baltot!
We have the satisfaction OF announcing 10 our
readers the REDEMPTION OF ONO, the Queen Of tho
West, from the Legislation of locofocoism, and her
enrolment among the gallant Wing cta.cs of the
Union The Legislature elect stands as follows:
Senate is 20
House al n
Wing majority in joint ballot 6! There is some
dispute in regard to two'mcmbcrs from Fairfield co.,
but as they were elected by wing votes in opposition
to the regular loco candidates. VIC place them on the
wing side. But even without them the wing have
Only Is Senators were chosen this year, of which
the wings have 10 and the locos g. Had all the sem
ate been elected this year, the wings wonM have
had majority OF tour in that body, and fourteen in
Joint ballot.

will however show decided whis nlaioritv-abou,
5000. ALL HAIL Ono!
PENNSYLVANIA is COMING!
For the first time since the organization of the pre-
sent parties. the wings have majority of the Penn
syvania delegation in Congress, having elected 10
OF the "a members TO which that state is entitled and
this notwithstanding the State was so gerrymander-
ed that the locos expected carry all the districts
bnt six! The locos will have their canal commits
soners and majority of the legislature simply be- |
cause the wings in several counties were fahless |
as to their strength, and did not come out. In 1914
they will be all on hand, and. as in $780, put their
veto on locofocoism.

paper in Philadelphia, confesses that Mr. Van Buren,
cannot carry the electoral vote Of Pennsylvania a.
gainst Henry Clay and urges the party to nominate
