The Town Quotas.

The Winstcd paper Of last week has a table
giving tho quota Of each town from the enrolled
list Of last August. A.better method, it seems
to us. of arriving at our correct quotas. would
be to compare the population of each town with
the whole population of tho county, and thus
determine what each townsproportion of reg
imont Of q thousand men shall be. Thus, in
round numbers. the population of the County is
$1,000, and Of Litchfeld town. 5000. Then as
$1,000: 5000: 5000 go which is our proper

WooDBuRY.-Thcre was . large and enthusi-
astic loyal town meeting held in Woodbury. on
the 24th inst. Patriotic and earnest speeches
were made, which were warmly applauded, and
q vote was passed to give bounty Of one hun
dred dollars to each. recruit under the Presi-
dents call. A committee was appointed by the
meeting and instructed to learn the location and
wants of each soldier from the town in all the
Connecticut regiments, and to see that they were
cared for to the end of the war. To these pro-
ceedings, there was but one dissenting voice,
and that was the voiee Of one DR.. G.. G.. Atwood,
I've hand his name down to postsri:Y,) who ad
yocated . measure, which would, under the:cir-
cumstances, have been death blow to all re-
eruiting in Woodbury.. VIM. Cothrenreplied to
him in vivid and eloquent speech Of most with
ering sarcasm, which the rhole house applauded
to the echo l. The unpatriotic doctor was COM
pletely squelched, and skunk away to his house
to ruminate over the fruits of sympathy with
secession. He has no need to take lessons of
T. H. Seymour. He has the ignoble glory of
being the sole opposer Of recruiting in Wood
bury. No severer thing may be said of any
man, for old Woodbury. is true to her Revolu-
tionary traditions, and true to the proud recol-
lection, that she Sent ever 1900 soldiers to the
war which achieved our national independence,
! and had $50 Of that number in the field at one
time. Woodbury. is q poor place in which to
show any thing but sincere patriotism. Three
cheers for old Woodbury.! 'e ": rs
- A town committee has been organized for
the purpose of registering all volunteers enlisted
from Woodbury., to Keep an account of their po-
position and whereabouts in each regiment, to
provide for their personal comfort in camp, and
to render them all necessary aid if wounded or
sick in the hospitals. The ladies Of Woodbury.
unite in this worthy and charitable object, and
the plan might be initiated with profit in other
towns of the county. s F.

WARREN.-Deacon VIM. Hopkins, who opens
his house every summer for the reception of
boarders for the season, is mado happy in these
most unhappy times, by the fact that every ro,m
in his very commodious house is occupied His
residence is on the borders of Lake Warramang,
than which New England cannot boast of a more
beautiful sheet of water, enclosed by such splen-
did surroundings. IS = ''
We notice by the advertisements in the New
York papers that other families are, at least,
Dillinq to initiate the example of Dea Hopkins.
- The store of Swift & Hine, is undergoing
extensive repairs. The two buildings which
they have occupied have been united, raised one

One-half of the second story is to be fitted up
for Select School,. These repairs show more
enterprise than has been exhibited in Warren
before for ninety three years.

Starr, Esq, who died ON the 10Th inst, aged "A.
He was the son of Rev. Peter Starr, who was
pastor of the church here ffty-seven years. Isl
A town meeting is to be held Saturday af-
ternoon to encourage enlistments, and talk about
giving 500 bounty to all who volunteer. War
rem ought to send at least dozen men into the
Litch6eld County Regiment It is by no means
certain that man will 60 till he is drafted
The country may be in danger, and greatly need
more men for her defence, but Warren don't
see it, and will not till the scabs fall from her
eyes. There are men enough here who can 20,
and who ought to 60, and to whom it is q dis
grace to stay at home. So long as it is simply
disgrace, they will probably stay. *e 's.s
