 The substance of 3Jehiel Leavenworth's testi mony was, that he had known Garrety about three years, considered him peaceable and quiet man, rather foolish when in liquor.
 John H. Leavenworth vas in the store, con versed with the two men, did not consider them drunk when they left. No new development are obtained since the deceaae. 55 WAsHINcToN.

TnE people of Litchfeld, Ct., have about given up the idea of building railroad from the Nan gatuck road through their town to intersect the Housatonic road near Falls Village, some A miles. Surveys already made indicated too plain. ly that the expense is far beyond what they can raise. The prospective business is too small to make the stock appear good for much abroad and the benefits are too few to warrant the out lay at home. Now the Naugatuck road ought to be extended from Winsted to Lee.-(L Lee) Vnney Gleaner.
 Oh no, friend Cleaner not go bad as that. The report of the survey has not yet been submitted to the people of Itchfeld, who have already once resolved that the road shall be baiH! As for going to Falls Village though, they have never entertained such an idea, but we hope in the course of next year to pay you a flying visit via Kent in about two hours and Q half time af- ter leaving the :" hill"
 Don't believe all the stories you hear from . disinterested Q quarter! As for road from Winsted to Lee, that will be built about the time we survey railroad to the moon!

Lord MacauIey.

T &A-AeA>@e S1<S Professor sedgvick of the Unive1ity at Cam lbridee Englands writes to afriend in this coun lrv under date of Jan. 2Oth as follows:
 The day Ipassed through London on my N,
 to the north of England, was the day; of Lord
 Macauleyss funeral dared not attend rom the
 fear of bronchitis, though earnestly desired to do so. 1 knew him we'll and honored his brilliant genins. He had his faults and prejulices, (who
 has not ]? but where shall we find a man to con- tinue his work I :. We may lock through the world and look in vain. always hoped he might live to finish the reign of Queen Anne. He hat ed Marlborough, I think, with exaggerated and foolish hatred, and Aat might perhaps, have in jurcd his account of the Dukes glorious cam paigns. He might have been little ones sided in bis history of the intrigues and shiftings of opinion which led to the downfall of the whigs and the rising of the tories, It would, however, have been 2 tale written with many noble senti- inents, by apen of fire and brush dipped in the worlds brightest colors. And as for the literary
 men and literary gossip of the day, it would have been above all praise or rivalry. The wits of Queen Annes reign would have lived and breath ed again. Macauiey knew them as if hvea, had lived among them all the days of his life, and what sparkling. what stir, what animation, what unpacking of the very soul, he would have shone in reproducing them on the rapid pages of his history! But he is gone, and Prescott is gone; the greatest of your historians, and during the past year, Hnmbolt too Is gone down, and many more besides" I, @'3 r.
