THE PARKS.-The railing around the West Park, in this village, has recently been repair. ed and painted, and large number of thrifty trees have been set out within the enclosure. The twin-parks' now present beautiful ap- pearance, and add not little to the attractions of our village It has been said that " those who plant shade trees, work for posterty," and we doubt not that such of our fellow citizens as have aided in these recent improvements, will receive a rich reward in the gratitute of coming generations. New Haven owes much of her attractiveness to the persesering labors of James Hillhouse and Litchield is no less
 indebted to the late Judge Wolcott- who, more than half century ago. assisted by his brother ,(the late Governor.) transplanted some hundreds of young elms from the adjacent woods and sw,mps, to our streets and every citizen and every visitor reaps the reward of his labors.

SONS OF TEMPERANCE.
 Our readers have already been informed that the approaching Anniversary of our Nations Independence is to be observed in this village, by the Bantam Division of the Sons of Temperance. We understand that ample preparations have been made by the Committee O. Arrangements to ensure celebration worthy of the cause which they have espOused a, the day they delight to honor. The success of the experiment of establishing a permanent organization of the order, in Litch6eld, is no longer pro. blem. Though the Division has been in existence scarcely six months, it has already outlived the opposition of its enemies, and the suspicious of the timid and doubtful and very many who were but recently ops posed, have been constrained 10 acknowl- edge that it is the most effective organiza> tion for the promotion of temperance which has yet been devised.
 We learn that it is the design of the Com> mittee of Arrangements 10 extend an invi> tation to all :he friends of temperance in the town to unite with them in the celebra- ton. On this point, however, the commit tee will seasonably "speak for themselves" We trust our citizens who may be called upon to assist in supplying the tables. will
