Litcllheld.

Ivyoor on Monday evening of this week. The Wide
 Awake clubs from Wolcottville and Bethlem united with those of our town in forming a pro cession of over hundred torches, and marching through the principal streets, presented bril- liant and magnificent appearance. MT. Ferry ! spoke from the balcony of the Mansion House and though his address was full hour long, he held the close attention of the audience to the end. There must have been five hundred hear CTS gathered to hear him, including many from Morris, Goshen, Torrington and Bethlem. Afte' the address the Wide Awakes resumed their march, and finally brought up at Adams Hotel where an ample collation. had been provided by the Litchfeld Wide Awakes for their guests, un- der the superintendence of Geo. Adams, Esq. After the edibles had been pretty efectually " dispensed with, h,"-after-supper-s speeches were made by Hon. o. s. Ferry, s. W. Kellogg, Wm. K Peck, and the Editor of the ENQUIRER. The Wide Awakes then resumed their march and at seasonable hour broke ranks" with hearty cheers for Lincoln and Hamln! Some foolish democrats delighted themselves with natural horse-laugh, at the end of every rousing cheer by the Wide Awakes, but the laugh seemed al- ways to come out of the wrong side of their mouths. Hurrah for Dugl-as shrieked falset- to voice, Alas, Ass"-echo promptly replied.
 The only unpleasant incident connected with the Parade was the misfortune the Beth lem Wide Awakes suffered in losing their ele- gant ensign. We sincerely hope for the reputa- tion of our citizens that no democrat here was engaged in so low and dirty trick. If they were, they deserve to be " under conviction" and put in the jail to serve their time out. It is better for them to lie low for a while and not display Mot bunting.
 New Hartford.
 Hon. o. S. Ferry speaks in New Hartford on Thursday evening-and not Wednesday, as last weeks Winsted paper enormously announced. New Milford.
 We give on the outside of this paper the full list of premiums awarded at the late fair of the Housatonic Agricultural Society. We publish it iOI UcHChC Oi OdT IcducIo III tudC ScCGIOu.
 The following additional account to what we gave last week, is from reliable reporter, who was on the ground.
 At the Fair last week there were entered for the premiums 50 pairs of oxen in trains in which the town of Brookfeld made the best show. Of work oxen there were 32 pairs entered for the premiums. There were besides these a number of pairs of draft oxen. The stocks of cattle were very fine, numbering 59 head, besides a large number that were not entered to compete for premiums, but many of which, it is only just to say, there were not finer animals exhibited A large number of bulls, both Devon and Dur ham, were arranged about the grounds, where they attracted much attention from stock breed CTS. There ere 47 Sheep entered of the South, down, Merino and Long wooded breeds The usual variety of fowls were offered, but it was evident that the hen fever has we'll nigh subs ded among us, from the little interest shown iu this department compared to what :here was g few years since.
 The Horse Show eclipsed everything else, and if the people hereabouts have the horse-fever, il is expected that from the gradual but well-de fined growth of the symptomsit will be chronic and not subside until all our horses shall be oi excellent pedigree, and show in their nervous temperamcnts, fine heads, distended nostrils flashing eyes, and muscles quivering with sup pressed fire, the true aristocracy of their race and the nobility of their nature. There were en tered A Road Horses, 65 Colts and Stallions and number of Work Horses also by Mir Geo. Hitchcock, of New Preston, thorough brels, Ashland, Miss Loo, Lilla and Action, up on which, the committee headed by John T. An 1 drew of Cornwall, bestowed the highest enconi ums giving to Mr. Hitchcock the greatest praise for his spirit and liberality in his attempts to i'm prove the breed of horses, and their best wishes for his success.
 The ladies of the Housatonic Institute are de serving of much credit for their large assortment of paintings and fancy work, which not being entered upon the books of the society, could moi receive the premiums that many of them rightl! deserved.
 The Teachers Institute was opened las night by Prof. North, who gave an outline of it objects and then introduced to the audience thu

 Morris.
 Hon. o. s. Ferry spoke to large and into,
 es,ed audience in tho upper room of buildin used for church and state purposes in Morris East-side, on Tuesday evening. r. J. Skiltol Esq, presided. The room was packed, and tn q Bethlem Wide Awakes acted as an escort to tn speaker. We hope for many new convert
 among the democrats in Morris-we know of SC,
 eral already under conrictioa."
 Morris ought to have town hall and re.
 pectable room for public speaking.
 We learn that some sp.sH!i aoys, urged on b
 a few of democrats, endeavored to exhibit thei
 powers of blowing, and their principles, by tn
 aid of tin-horns while Mir. Ferry was speaking
 greatly to the disgust and disapprobation of tn many respectable democrats of Morris win
 crowded to hear the speaker. We have tn names of some of these instigators-but do no
