 LITCHFIELD.
 The Litchfeld Brass Band, together with . large party of the young men of the village paid the society of Milton in general, and MT. Wm. Bissell in particular asisit on Thursday evening of last week. The Band entertained MT. B. with several of their choice selections of music, and Mr. B. entertained the B.
