To the Citizens of Litchffeld

The approaching Centennial imposes up
on you important duties: and that these
duties may be effectively perfor med, the
Town Committee beg leave to make to you
some suggestions.
And I, At a meeting held on the 9Th
inst, of the Central Committee, in connec-
ton with the Committees o. the several
Towns, Ian account of which will be pub
lished in the newspapers,) it was resolved
TO raise $500 TO defray certain public ex>
penses. TO witty Band of Music, erection
ofsea,s, and tents, and abes, printing &c.
Three hundred dollars of this expense is
allotted to be raised in the Town of Litch-
field, and will, we doubt not, be readily and
cheerfully subscribed.
II. 1t is expected of every citizen Of The
Town, that he will, at his own house, on
the days Of The occasion, exercise most
liberal hospitality. LIST, By entertaining
his own family friends, emigrants from this
town: ed, By inviting his friends and &C
quainta nces from other parts of the Coun.
1y. And this hospitality is invoked in favor
not only of man and womankind. by. stable
and barn room must be provided for horses
and carriages of our friends.
III. I. is expected of the Ladies, that
very ample provision will be made in each
house to accommodate for a single night
all OF their own sex who may be here on
the occasion and little exertion on the
par. Of each house holder, will secure this
very important object. 1t is very easy to
pu, up in every room Of the house, several
beds. All the o'd bedsteads must be set
up, and may easily be furnished for night
with clean straw beds. Mr.. Buckley is
ready to set up at small expense, in every
house, such extra bedsteads as may be re-
quired.
A communication IN the last weeks Enqui-
rer implies doubt, whether this duty will be
thoroughly met. We trust, for the credit OF
our hosptable Town, that this doubt is wholly
groundless. A failure here would involve US
in overwhelming disgrace The Celebration
is in honor Of the County, WHICH bears our
name, and Of which this is the honored Capt.
tsl, famed in the past, for talent, worth, gems
crosby and hospitality. Let us not show our
selves unworthy of our past history.
1t Is expected that each town will provide
mainly its own eatables; hut it is presumed
that every f:mily here will keep set at all
hours of the day, table for the entertainment,
of such friends as may not be otherwise prOyi-
ded.
These suggestions are made, hot only tor
the people Of the village and its immediate
vicinity. but all the houses in the Town ought
to be prepared in like manner.

Long dreaming where 'the seat OF empire lay,
Westward the Sons Of LilchHeld take theft
way,
And in the regions of the setting sun
Their proudest, noblest victories are won
They build their cabins on the rushing rills,
Their spires point heaven.ward from thou.
sand hills,
The wild beast's howl ields to the hammers
clang,
Their songs go up where once the war. whoov
rang;
They start she eagle in his mountain eyrie,
Follow the war.path DER the trackless prairie,
They wander where the cold Nebraska roars,
They plant our standard on Pacific shores,
And in their wake, beneath congenial skies,
New States extend their sway, new cities rise.
And there are orbs of milder light than they,
Radiant with love and gentle as the day,
Waking responsive joys IN kindred SOULS
In some far cot where the Missouri rolls!
Still truarts from our households the they be.
Their spirits wing their way DER land and sea +,
And, freed from mortal WEAKNESS, in dreams
They climb our hills and wander by our streams
Revisit each fair scene they loved of yore,
And greet in fancy's realm those they may
meet no more
Oh, all Of these, from Life's diverglng track,
To their old homes we fain would welcome
back,
To share the festive scenes, the joy. the glee,
The life and soul of our Great Jubilee!
Come home, ye searchers after fame, come
home
FROM scerss and friends like these why should
ye roam -
Lawyers and statesmen, farmers. merchants,
teachers,
Doctors, dealers in stocks, tin pedlars. preach-
Come, from mid northern SHOWS and tropic
flowers,
From prairie land. and blooming oFange-bow'
ers,
From Califernia's realm of gold and graves,
From mountain land, and from the noun, ain
waves
Mel, ma:rons, maidens, Children ye all,
And share the glorious BANTAM FESTIVAL!
