1 | We are having fine winter weather, cold bu clear. Considerable snow has fallen within thu week, and sleds and sleighs compete with wheel as means of locomotion. The Superior Court met after it's adjourn ment for Thanksgiving, on Wednesday morning It will probably continue in session not longer than the middle of next week. Report of cases in our next issue
 E Thanksgiving was celebrated as usual ir Litehfeld by the good old fashioned sermons and dinners. So many of our boys are abroad however, that many Thanksgiving table looked lonely without them. Services were held in the Congregational and Episcopal Churches, and capital sermons on the Times were preached by the olergymen of each.
 "A huge dry goods box, filled with goodies, '' cakes, pies, cheeses, butter, clothing, socks nit tens, &c, &c, was sent last week from the good people of Harris Plain to their boys in the 9th Regiment at Anapolis. Itis hoped that they received them for Thanksgiving festival. It is certain that they got them before they should have left for further Dixie.
 Notices will be found in our advertising col umns for meeting of the Executive Commit ee of the Agricultural Society on next Tuesday, and also of Christmas Ball at Adams Hotel, Christmas Night.

CONNECTICUT SOLDIERS.

MR. ED1TCR No troops have behaved bet ter since the war begun, than the Soldiers of Connecticut. It is certain that the Honor of the State will never be tarnished by our fellow citi- zens who have taken arms to aid in upholding the Union. Some Seven thousand of them are now in the field, and have a right to expect that the State will send, at least, five thousand more to cooperate with them, as the Army of Con necticut. Beside this, the great cause in which all mankind are so deeply interested demands that VIC should fill up our home regiments and forward our full quota as speedily as may be- In all the wars and troubles of the Republic, Litchfeld County has acted worthy and g con- spicious part. Since the breaking out of the rebellion she has not holden back her loved children, but bidden them to go and help sus. tain the independence their fathers achieved
 Still more men are needed and are called for John E. Whittlesey, Orson Buel, Frank Wells and many others are cooperating to raise 100 men to go with them to the field. Sons of the Honored old County! Men of Patriot Fathers and Spartan Mothers! Will you not hasten te join the great Army of the Union and share ir the perils as in the Glory of the pending strug gle for the life of the Republic?
 JOHN H. HUBBARD. Gov. HARvEY's majority in Wisconsin is up
 wards of 5000, notwithstanding the democratic ! exuitation over his defeat.

Correspondent No. bess the dear creature, of Kent not to say "No" too nasy tines lest they slongats their already extensive noses, and urges upon them gentle serenity and temper under ell their infictions, particularly under the advice of the Enquirer's lay-preacher to keep their tongues from wagging while sewing. And if correspondent No 2 was little less No-ine than he is, he would know Q vast deal more Tes, he would!
 The Cable who was chronicled in the En- quirer about year since as having parted theft cord, was again spliced day or two before Thanksgiving. So they celebrated that festive anniversary with grand Cable celebration, al which the good people of Kent were exceedingly joyful and sang the hymn frequently, commenc- ing, "0h, my dear Sally Ann,' Sc.

NEW MILFORD.

It may he interesting to many of the readers of the EScUIREE to know, in how far degree New Milford has recovered from the effect of the serious fire of last year. The fire occurred on the night of Nov. 2d, 1860 and consumed l Ho- tel, Bank, 10 dwellings and stores besides 3 barns and ether smaller buildings. During the past year there have been erected Hotel, Bark, Carriage shop, 14dwellngs and stores, and the outbuilGinEa replaced bT new and better ones.- The buildings are generally of much better class than before, particularly the new Bank, which, instead of being of wood as before. isa fine brick ediice and an ornament to tbo place.
 The place formerly owned hyJohn C. Smith and nov by John ?. Treadwell-(one of the pro prietor5 of tue st. Nioholas,( has been undergo ing repairs during the past summer, and IS uow nearly completed. The house has been entirely remodeled inside and out, and furnished with all the modern improvements, as furnace, gas, speak ing tubes, &c.,, Sc. The grounds have also been graded down and improved, so as to add much to the beauty of the place.
 Mir Isaac Reynolds, who has represented New II. at the Legislature for the past two years has been appointed Sulter to the llth Reg't ard has gone into Camp.

WE HAVE received copy of the circular and catalogue of the West Cornwall Institute, under the supervision of E. Burton Hart, A. N. We need hardly say that the school is located in one of the most healthful and pleasant towns in New England, that it is easy of access from New York and the West, and that its reputation has already become widely extended during the eight years of its existence, even while situated as it is amid other large and Aourishing schools.
 The School at present contains between twen- ty and thirty pupils, from New York and the West, who are taken into the family of Mir. Hart and given instruction by himself and his brother Mir. Geo. s. Hart, assisted by Prof and Mime R.. Schmeideberg and J. Henry Cole The boys are uniformed, drilled in military tactics, and are also in summer, taught something of the science of agriculture upon the large farm of l5O acres which is connected with the school. Better than all they ere taught habits of seza'eliaace and treated like gentlemen, which latttr doesn't ob- tain in every school.
 The only objection we observe in tie catalogue is that MT. Hart has his printing dons out of the county, which is bad

person, from officer to the lowest susaltern r
 the ranks. such as has never been witnessed be-
 fore in the history of armies, he had driven the
 enemy with inferior numbers before him wherev
 CT he had advanced, his chosen body-guard had
 made single dash with one hundred and fifty
 against three thousand and retaken fortified
 city amid the wondering ard resounding plaudts of a nation. Who shall say what might have been the result of the campaign in its end from this brilliant beginning? Who shall venture to gainsay what might haue been had not the petty discontents of his inferior officers, and the al. ready dis-proved ex parte testimony of his per- sonal enemies resulted in his removal on the ve- ry eve of the most stirring elueidations of his plan ? It is only mournful necessity to watch the present situation of affairs in the Western Department, since Genl Fremont's removal, to lament that he should have been taken away just when he was.
 At all events let justice be done him by the Commandcr-in-chief, and if he be not found more incompetent" and guilty than events thus far have proved him. let him be reinstated and res- tored to position from which the heart of the American people have never yet displaced him nor sanctioned his removal,
