lney Marcheo ana cOunter-marched through the village, and finally brought up at the old store of Kinney X Parkhurst, where an excellent hot supper was gratefully discussed. During the march some dirty little boys, representing the ragged democracy, amused themselves with blow ing tin horns and shying decayed eggs in the wake of the Wide Awakes, always, however, keeping at very respectable distance from Capt. Peck's reach. Had he been successful in each tug any of them-they would probably have had a pleasant experience from the toe of one of his big boots, which would have destroyed their wind apparatus for at least one campaign. l - Capt. Salmon Buell., now in his ninety fourth year, who cast his first vote for GEORGE WASHINGTON for President, voted in Itchfeld, on Tuesday, for ABRAHAM LINCOLN A long life of freeman begun nobly and ending nobly. 1 The November term of the Superior Court, Judge Waldo presiding, commenced yesterday "Wednesday afternoon. The session, it is thought, will extend through five or six weeks. Barkhamsted.
 The Hartford correspondent of tho Sunday School Times says:
 At our State Convention, in New Haven, in June, 1858, a pastor from Litchfeld county. speaking of the need of Sabbath-school mission 1 work in Connecticut, referred, as an example, to Barkhamsted, with its church planted high on the hill top, pointing it's spre heavenward once well filled and ably supplied, now for long time closed, the building empty, the pulpit untentant- cd, the bell hanging silent in the belfiy. For a year and half there was no service in that church, no breaking of the bread of life from that altar, no weekly prayer meeting in that parish, no barrier to sin reared by Gods people in that community.
 The old house thus described has been recent ly repaired and much improved, in internal and external appearance. The Rev. John E. Elliott graduate, a year since, of East Windsor Theo logical Seminary, who was active in the CANVASS ing of our State, under the Home Evangeliza- ton Committee of our General Association, has been supplying the pulpit for some time. stirring 1 the people to good works and leading in all eff. forts at improvement.
 | Last Sabbath afternoon the congregation of tho nearest Methodist church was invited to join this people in a union Sabbath-school meeting at their rejuvenated house of worship Not, withstanding the storm, good audience assem- bled to listen to an address from the State Sab bath school missionary. The Rev. Messrs. Eli ott and Crawford also spoke earnestly and ap- propriately. It is hoped that the Sabbath school of this church. which has been sometimes aban- doned during tho winter, will be hereafter sus 1 tained without intermission.

 At an adjourned town meeting held Oct 18th the subject of repairing roads was referred to l the Selectmen, to adopt such plans as they may think best. The bridges of any importance have been under their supervision for years and judging from the manner in which they have been attended to, the poor tax payers may cal culate upon having some nice bills to foot in damages if not in repairs.
 Farm crops are mostly secured and are generally very satisfactory. The Apple crop has becn very abundant and there are but few cellars but would testify against the practical temperance principles of their owners from the abundance of apple juice stored therein. Speaking of Apples"-an exhibitor of fine fruit at the Fair in Litchfeld has sold between four and five hundred bushels at 8 satisfactory price p,ice, on the strength of the fine appear ance of his fruit and engagements made at that time good illustration of the advantage of exhibiting farm produce at our annual fairs.
 New Milford.
 GREAT FIRE AT NEW NnroRD-About half past ten o'clock, on Friday night the citizsns of New Milford, were aroused by the cry of fire - The fire commenced in the north end of the barn of the New England House, which is adjoining to J. E. Treats store.
 The wind was blowing gently from the east, which proved most providential thus keeping the flames from progressing upon Main street.
 In about half an hour. Treats store took fire and burned with great rapidity. Also, at this time the flames progressed rapidly towards the west, consuming Hopkins barn and the dwell ing of R. E. Sproule, which included his store and tin shop; also the dwelling of Mrs. Fair child Booth, occupied by herself and the family of Mir. Sherwood.
 At this time great apprehension was felt for the safety of Smith, Erwin < RandalFs Hat Manufactory, but it was saved by great e1ertion also, the premises of Daniel Marsh, although in great danger, were fortunately saved.
 \ In the mean time the premises of Harry I'm miugs, next west of Treats store, took fire, and was quickly destroyed, setting fire to the Bank of Litchfield County, which was soon burned to the ground. The fire then progressed rapidly onward, taking in it's course, the market building
 west of the Bank, and then the Housatonic
 House owned and occupied by J. L. Hopkins together with the furniture store and manufacto- lry ofF. G.
