SemS of the " boys" thinking that the "homa of hisopponent." !" should receive visit from our worthy Representative, who il spending this week in visiting the towns of this county, inyits the Hon. Q. 8. Rsxsr, by telegraph ol Saturday afternoea, to come to LitchAsld, and in spite es the violent snow storm, he came, and wSs received by . large audience, who notwiih- staading the shortness of the notice, assem- bled at the Court House, and listened to one of the most able, eloquent and convincing speeches, VIC have ever been % fortunate as to hear.
 MT. Ferry gave vigorous and faithful account of his stewardship, and succeeded, we are sure, in convincing his audience, among whom were many Democrats, that the issue was plainly be- tween preserving this government and destroy ing it.
 !. MH. FERRY spoke on Monday night at Win sted, and on Tuesday night at wslcottville. to as large audiences As could be crowded into their large halls, in spite of the storm and cold. He speaks in Plymouth Wednesday evening, Wood bury Thursday evening, and at New Milford, we believe, Friday afternoon. His majority in this county, ws are sure, will reach i've hundred. In Fairfield county we arc told it will be from tro to three hundred. "@ t~.e.
 We didn't hear anything from his competitor here in Litch6eld. MT. Fsrry's challenge there- fore, may be considered to be not spoken for, unless indeed, that most miserablsof stl wretch ed creatures, E. o. Perrine, of Braesfyn, N. r., is allowed to be considasex Mn: Woodrufrs sub stituts. We believe ke has spoken in Bridge port.
 We learn that Hon. Geo. Palmer of this town, expressed desire to reply to Mr. Ferry but as the desire was expressed after the meet. ing had adjourned, the town lost the opportunity of listening to Mir. Palmer eloquence and logic
 At the close of the address of Mr. Ferry, a vote of thanks was unanimously rendered him by the audience, and the address itself commen- ded to the sanctifcation and redemption of the democrats present.

 "A Winsted Rumse4ler who has been so;ourn ing few days with us in pursuit of his avoca. tion, and the late able representative from Meek ertown, thinking to make little sport hired a young man, on Wednesday, to parade the streets in Wide Awake uniform, for the sum of three dollars.
 It was oery funny, especially as the young man didn't happen to be 3 Wido A~~Lv, aUesu.E-sufs fer from any bitter fruits," and gets his three dollars in cash, and the funniest of all is that we are enabled to announce standing offer to the Winsted wag, of fos dollars, if As will parade the streets for one day with his wares-i. c., bottle of straw whiskey and r. g. rum. He has also lately, we believe, been the recipient of another standing offer from New Milford, given in recog- tion of his distinguished position in the sporting circles of Winsted.
