 During thunder storm which occurred here last week, the lightning played some curi- ous pranks, in the east part of the town. It first struck the church in Terryville perforating the south end near tho pulpit, passing along the stove pipe down to the floor which it splintered finely and passed off without doing great injury. Soon after this, it struck and splintered tree in the yard of Ira stoughton, then it struck an other tree from which the fluid seemed to jump at team of oxen standing near by, killing the near OK in the forward yoke, and the of OK in the rear yoke, without injuring the others. They were attached to loaded wagon and be- longed to sextus Gaylord, Esq, closely follow ing this it struck another tree and killed five | sheep for Burritt Gaylord, all within short | time and distance

Half that number, foul weeks ago, would have put us in Baltimore by this time. We are we'll entrenchcd.

 MR. EDITOR We have passed along very quietly, sinco the burning of the Woolen Factory some weeks since (which did not however affect largo circle, as general invitations to partici- pate in the ceremonies were not given out) till we received news that there was rebellion in Goshen, and although the Home Guards have not yet disbanded, still it is evident that many minds are agitated with the question and the re- fears as yet expressed of invasion of the town, as no doubt exists of the disposition of the Guards, in case of necessity, to display their ability to keep up smart running fire.
 Since the ebullition of religious feeling in the Republican Farmer few weeks since we have been looking for higher attainments but not dis Standard hath this extent, no more, viz: Float ing the Stars and Stripes, (they being the em- blem of patriotism, justice and equality, excites angry and hostile feelings and is therefore wrong all the time and very wicked O Sundays.
 The Knight of the Shears at Messrs. J. P Hawley & Co. still continues to exhibit, to those who approach him, unmistakable symptoms of disposition to give em fits and in an out and out set to convince them that he is qualified for the position of belligerent (no reference to recent military services and achievements.)
 The Hosiery Co. continue to run their works and we have no doubt will find it remunerative as the cost of production must be materially lessened in both labor and material.
 l We have Collection agency established here for the Counties of Litchfeld and Berkshire (for particulars see small bills and circulars) and as the references are first class it is considered to be we'll calculated to command the attention of the public and be ample provision for both coun- ties and as we like to be as central as possible its location here is correspondingly gratifying. We intend to celebrate the Fourth if we can make the agency available to collect the powder and if the effort is successful shall report on Thursday morning. Yours Truly, MUT1Us.

Myxatt and the RumseIlers.

Senator Mygatt and the Rumsellers.
 We regret to see the above named gentleman arrayed on the side of the rumseller. His speech in the Senate on the 2Oth ult., urging the repeal of the 27th section of the Main Law, (which pro- vides that any debts contracted for liquor sold contrary to law shall be void, and his subss- quent vote for it's repeal, has caused good deal of indignation among those who supported him last spring. It would have been much more creditable to the gentleman himself and to the senate. to have displayed the courage necessary for the repeal of the entire law, rather than have aimed to destroy the only provision of it that now affords protection to the eunfortunate families of fdrunkards from thecruelrapacity and therum- seller. We thing it about time for the friend. of Temperance tounderstandth the sentiments of thcse who are hereafter put in nomination for tbe;r suffrages, this important but much nev,.ct- ed subject. 16rH DlsrnIcr We giye-the above from a correspondent in New Milford. We are inclined to think howey- CT that our correspondent is mistaken in hi, views. The Senate passed the bill by . large majority.

LITCHFIELp.

Our Litch6eld and county readers will be glad to hear of the elevation of Judge Seymour to the Supreme Court Bench It is an excellent ap- pointment, and is an illustration of the adage concerning the still animal.
 -Ths first of July brings about some change. in the contractors for the mail routes running from this village. The route to New Milford is bid of by Socrates Fenn, vicc John Taylor; to West Cornwall, same vice Geo. Adams to Wood bury, Seth Fenn vice DeWolf, and to Cornwall Bridge, by Mir. Parmalse. We are sorry to say that the prospect for improved staging to these points is not very apparent "on the contra ry quite the reverse" Mr. R. Smith still holds the contract for carrying the mails to the Depot and will run as usual his stages to all trains The celebration in Beach st., promises to be a "large thing" Short Speeches will will be made by several of our citizens and Goshen, the Declaration of Independence read, and Picnic participated in. The exhibition of Fireworks on the 'hilp in the evening will be worth seeing. Handbills are already circulated, giving their various des- criptions. A large crowd is anticipated, and spectators are respectfully requested to "chip in" to pay the piper. The Litchfeld c. B. (cor- net band) will be in attendance.
 A theatrical company styled "Miss Belle Carr's Troupe'' have been playing for few tights in the Town Hall in this village. They attracted quite large audiences and gave good satisfaction.

 WAsH1Niaros HOTEL, l

l Hagersto,cn, Md, June 24th. 1 MR. EDITOR On Thursday nothing of im- portanee happened, only the usual routine of drilling taking place. In the afternoon man was brought to the hospital (which is in the Court House) from Williamsport, having acci- dentally been shot in the leg. Itwas amputated just below the knee.
 Friday was very warm day. An accident happened in our regiment to-day from careless ness with musket. A man in the New London l Co. took up musket, belonging to another man, not Knowing that it was loaded, the cap having been taken of the tube and commenced spring ing the lock, after snapping it three or four knapsack on which 8 mans head was lying, Crank Brooker am told,) and through two tents and lodged in mans leg belonging to Company C., shattering it badly. He was taken to the hospital. Hewas amarried man. Icould not learn his name. While at dinner to-day, I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Capt. DOUBLEDAY of Fort Sumter fame, and several of the men who were at Fort Sumter, all of whom belong to our brigade under Gen. Patterson, Capt. Doubleday is their commander. They left here for Williamsport to-day with their artillery. Col. Woodhouse tainted this afternoon while on dress parade, and while sitting on his horse.- At the time of my writing he was very sick.
 On Sunday two of our picket guards were shot while on duty about four miles north of the camp. Hagerstown is under martial law, and since We came here, the natives have all turned Union men. The morning we left here for Williams port they took down their Union flags and run up the rattle-snake sheet, but the next night when they heard we were coming back, they pulled them down and run up the standard sheet.
 There are two printing offices here, one secesh and the other Union. They had to station an extra guard at the secession office to keep the Wisconsin boys from caving it in.
 There are great many sick here; on Friday there were thirty five men in Company I. not able to do duty. Capt. Perkins hangs out we'll yet. Sergeant Terry left here for home on Saturday, i being used up man.
 | The boys were all mad the other day because they did not have fight, after going SO far to | have chance. Since we came here we have got our army rations they tell me, which makes Mulligan's eyes hang out. H. W.

CHIEF JUSTICE SToRRs was 66 years of age at the time of his death. He was an able Judge an accomplished man, and thorough gentle. man. His funeral was very largely attended at Hartford, on Thurday last, the officers and mem bers of the Legislature attending in Q body. His late associates upon the Bench were pall- bearers, together with the Judges of the Superi. or Court
 Judge Storrs will be greatly missed, and no. where more than at this Bar, where his uniform courtesy, his great dignity and attachments were largely esteemed by all the profession.

n@. We are informed of meeting in this town on Saturday last, of delegation of per. sons of secession proclirities, evidently by ap- pointment. Six of the neighboring towns were represented, beside Litchfeld. Hon. G. c. Woodruff was waited upon, with what result has not yet transpired, though it is not difficult te imagine. The rumor is that he politely showed them the door of his office.
 Is it possible that any secret organization o traitors is being formed in this County in pursu ance of an adopted plan to stir up cieI ,car il our own borders?
 Such an organization cannot long remain SC cret, and we shall give the public all such in formation of the diabolical plots and counsel lings as we can gather. We have now the hume. of those who are suspected of meeting on Satur day last in Litchfeld for this purpose, but with hold them until we are more fully informed O the results of that meeting, or the re-assembline of the delegation, and the organization of any such traitorous band in this County
