 The horse and wagon that was advertised in this paper, belonging to Wm. Norton, was found on Sunday last, and the thief, one George Davis State Prison bird, apprehenled. He had exchanged the horse with Mr. Hotchkiss of Cornwall Depot. Sheriff Peck was put on the track on Saturday, and found Davis iE Plymouth. The thief was committed to our jail on Monday to await his trial
 Speaking of the jail--Woodford the Win sted murderer, seems to take his confinement cooly. lie is confined wholly to his cell and gallery and seems to await his fate with indif- ference. He will perhaps experience different sensations when placed on trial for his deed
 Cows still run at large in the streets of Litchfeld, and make the walks disgusting. They do not seem to have learned or their owners do not, that a town meeting was held on Monday, and new Hayward appointed, whose duty it is to arrest all stray cattle, and mpound them H. B. Graves, Esq, is the new officer Will he be as indefatigable in his duty, and as great terror to evil-doers in this line of his profession as he is in others?
 MT Post Master Marsh has put up new and very handsome set of boxes in the P. o. They are a great improvement on the old, and the Post Master deserves great commendation from the public in this P. o. delivery. - The Union tickets for town officers were headed The Union must and shall be preserv- ed.-Jackson," and "our Country, First and Last, Now and Forever" wag in town sug- gests that the Democratic tickets should have been headed "The PARTY must and shall be pre- served-Beers," and "our party, First and Last, Now and Forever"
 Win. c. Buell's drug store was entered on Sunday night last, and small amount of change taken from the drawer. The thieves also helped themselves to Wm.'s soda water-and William trusts its effect was swelling.
 Thomas Jackson, Esq, venerable colored individual thinks he was knocked down in West St last Saturday nght with big stone, and twenty shilling gold piece stolen from him, but as it was very dark night, Thomas is somewhat doubtful whether his head hit the stone or the stone hit his head. Both were severely injured. Thomas was " obfushcated' for sometime, and we cannot l throw more light upon the dark subject.
