 This Company Is composed of strong, robust men, recuited exclusively, We believe, from Litchfeld Country. Its successful organization Numbering now over sixty men) is due, next to the faithful exertion of Lieut.. Wells, to the pat riotic and hearty cooperation of John H. Hub bard, Esq our generous and patriotic fellow townsman. Such number of men could hardly have been recuited now at this time, when so many have gone already from this vicin;tyto the war, without all the energy and Hberality which has been so signally displayed.
 The Volunteers have " Soldiers Balr' at the Adams House Wednesday, and choose their officers, we believe, on Thursday.

He (the horse) was hitched in front of a yoke of oxen to wood sled, some boys were driving, the oxen got frightened pulled one way out ofthe road, hehorse another; the oxen were too much for the horse, dragged him into the ditch and broke his neck short of The horse never kicked afterwards. People should be careful how they leave their teams be driven by boys. : - Sheriff Vessels and Deputy Peck brought to the jail on "Wednesday last, from New York a man named Washington Harrington, supposed 1 to be concerned in the Winsted Bank robbery.

Also, on the lst page, letter from our lively | correspondent "V'' of Harris Plain of the 9th Regt., on the eve of departure from Annapolis. = Since story telling seems to be the order, 1 we venture to tell one of sharp bargain made hereabouts, between an Ex-Rev. Doctor, not a
 thousand miles from Litchfeld, and our friend John M. W, of Goshen. John N. had fur l nished the Doctor with wood during the winter, l amounting to some twenty or thirty dollars, which he had not collected. Towards spring ! the church in Goshen was out of a preacher, and John M. offered to supply them. It was agreed upon, and John NJ. sent for thes sAsetor. He came and filled the occasion with great sat isfaction for three Sundays, at the moderate sum of $l0psr Sunday; When they came to pay up, l our friend John M. handed out tho Doctor hre dollars. But the other twenty!" asked the
 Doctor. ssOh! we'll turn that on the wood as-
 count, replied John, whcreat the Doctor smited
 cheerful smile, and that account was squared
