ASHAMED TO OWN IT.-The Litchfield Enauirer attemptsto rcpudiate the statement that has been widely circulated about Q Litchfeld tax-collect- or compelling poor widow to give him an egg to make up deficiency of one cent in paying her tax,-and says:
 The papers give our town or our county ere dit for that shrewd financial operation of taking an egg for the odd cent out of poor widow which we chronicled last week. We mildly disclaim the honor. The fnancier lives in Dan bury and the widow lives in Bethel, where they make omlets in hats. He ought to have monu- ment of eggs erected on him.
 This is a most ridiculous attempt to shift off the odium of the transactions, and has the full dress of se. In the first place our tax-collect- or don't go to Bethel, having as much as they can do in collecting at home. Secondly, las the ministers say,) the widow of Bethel don't pay their taxes in eggs-and if they did, the collect or would have to get them in some other way than the editor suggests. Thirdly, land lastly, ! there is man here who-though it goes awfully against the grain, having been born in Litch- hsld-says the affair did occur up there-Dan- bury Times.
 The above is pretty good. It came to us with the great snow-storm, and like it, was undoubt- edly meant to be "squelcher.'' It may be called mild denial, even for that mildest of all sheets, The Danbury Times. But the difficulty which hes in our way of believing it-is the fact, that the morsel of Danbury CT Bethel econo- my alluded to, was narrated to us by Dan- bury indiuidual, as having occurred issDan6ury, and which recital we put into print for the bene- fit of an admiring World. The gentleman O. therefore who was "born in Litchfeld'- (and who left it, we hope, in very early life who tells the Times man that it " did occur up here''-must be of species of which we know no kinsman now his stomach or his conscience to hatch such . wholesale aspersion on his mother. He must be the tax-gatherer himself. It won't do "Born Tn L'tchfeld?" Let him repent of his sin and
 be born sgain, Mir Osborn.

Only two more working days remain before the election Are our voters prepared?
 A ticket is presented irreproachable in every particular. WM. A. BUCKINGHAM our present able and efficient Governor heads the State Ticket. BENJAMIN DOUGLAS of Middletown uni versalry esteemed and beloved throughout his own county is the candidate for Lieutenant Gov. srnor. JAMES H. TRUMBULL, of Hartford, the present Assistant Secretary of State is our can. didate for that office, and receives the full en. dorsement of the retiring officer EZRA DEAN represents the glorious old Windham County for the office of State Treasurer, and LEHMAN W. CUTLER of our own County is the candidate for Comptroller.
 Could better ticket have been put in nomina tion ? We think not, and we are willing to pro- phecy its election by at least ONE THOUSAND MAJ oRIrY. &
 Hox. .QRRIs s. FERRY is our candidate for Congress in this district. Without disparage- ment to others, we may say that in the universal opinion ofthe country at large, he was by far the
 
 last house, and one of the most able in the list of Representatives from all the States. Shall we try him again? We believe his majority in this district will be at least FIVE HUNDRED if our Re. publican voters all turn out. The Democrats ,riH, rain or shine.
 Our candidates for State Senators arc in the 18th District, HENRY JONES, in the 10th, AN DREW B. MYGATr, in the l7th, GEORGE COPYING. True men and good, all of them.
 In this Probate district, CHARLES ADAMS is our candidate for the Judgeship, and John Ed. Sedg- wick is his opponent Nufced.
 The Representatives from the various towns are not yet nominated as we go to press, but we have confidence that our party will put in nemi. nation only such as will be worthy to be heartily snd efficiently sustained.
