A TRUE HERoINE.-Very few people have
been placed in more trying position and
sacrificed more for the sake of the Union
than has Mrs. Douglas She has persistently
refused to entertain the proposition for
warded to her by special messenger. un-
der flag Of truce, from the Governor OF
North Carolina, asking that the two sons of
the late Senator Douglas be sent South to
save their extensive estates in Mississippi
from con6scation. If she refused a large
property would be taken from the children,
and in her present reduced circumstances
they may thereby eventually Ee placed in
Strengthened circumstances. Here, then,
was an appeal made directly to her tender
regard for them, which, if she should refuse,
would work disastrousy against them in
after years. But her answer was woi thy of
herself and Of her late husband. If the re-
bels were disposed TO make war upon de.
fenceless children and take away the all of
little orphan boys, it must be so, but she
could not for an instant think Of surren-
dering them to the enemies of their coun.
try aud of their father. His last words
were, "Tell them to obey the constitution
and the laws Of their country" aud Mrs.
Douglas will not make herself the instru-
ment of disobeying his dying iojunc lion.
The children, she says, belong TO Illinois,
and must remain in the North.

LAST SICKNESS OF Prince ALBERT.-The
full report of the sickness and death of
Prince Albert is very interesting. He was
taken i'll with feverish cold on the Sd De.
cember. This attack alternated from mild
to severe, and vice versa, to the afternoon
of the 14tb, when the case assumed the
character of typhoid fever. The Prince
gradually declined in strength until IL
o'clock the same night, when be died tran
gully, surrounded by the Queen and the
other members Of the royal family.

FRANCE AND THE UNITED SLATEL.-The
Paris Journal des Debats said on the I'd Of
November:
We also have an important part to play.
We are something to the United States by
the sOvenirs which we have left there. The
last time that France appeared 10 America
was for the purpose Of there defending a
liberty which was menaced. England was
then its enemy. Our flag foated there by
the side of the Star Spangled Banner. Since
that epoch, SO glorious for the two coun-
tries, France has remained the sister Of
America. There is a noble heritage which
we must not re2udiate. Our true ally will
always be the people who, in 1776. pro.
claimed that every human being bad n
right to liberty, the people who we're loved
by Lafayette, the people who have remain
ed faithful to the glorious traditions OF
Washington.

Relief for the Soldiers.

Letters are being received by the ladies assoc iations in the county from the " Womans Central Association of Relief" under the auspices of the U. s. Sanitary Commission, urging the contin- ued efforts of the women of this count in mak- ing and forwarding immediately articles of cloth from the Secretary of the above Asso, i.tion now before us, we are told that "9OO0 mon require immediately shirts, drawers and woolen socks. We do not need sheets pillow cases or towels Alter your old sheets into body clothing and send what you can of flannel and canton-aannel. We are sending of everything we have. Lint and handag, and jelly we have too much of. But how can We leave the men in want of clothing, when winter approaches 80 rapidy?"
 Surely We need add no word of ours to this appeal The women of this county, who have labored 50 industrousy in the past, in this labor love, will not relax their efforts now. Above will be seen just wh at is wanted. Let there be little delay as possible in forwarding these ar ticles 80 much needed. We trust this will be the last winter our brave army shall have to en- dure the cold and storm and cruel war but whether it is or not, the mothers and sist CTS they have left behind will never forget them, or be negligent in providing for their physica al comforts, while they are fighting for the homes and the government which are the dearest, and surest protection for us all.
 Boxes or barrels ofarticles above specified may be addressed to the" Womans CentralRelief As. sociation, le Cooper Union, ad Avenue, N. F.

GosnEx.-The following ''frst rate noiiss' l of the newly installed clergyman in the land If Goshen, we clip from tho Gt.Barrington (Mass.) Courier. Prem our own casual acquaintance with Mr. Cleveland, we know him ts be pro- gressive man, and one of the right sort; con- bining the highest manly qualities with the gr.- ces of the Christian scholar. And in his labor of love to the Goshen people, he will be ear nsstly and ably seconded by his gifted and sd- mirable wife
 'Rev. J. B. Cleveland, late of Egremsnt has l removed to Goshen, Conn.,. to take charge sf the ConSre8 8aticnal Church in that place, for tims ] In his removal from Southern Berkshire We lose worthy minister of the Gospel, strong minded man, and an excellent citizen. While in this vicinity he always took q large interest in the common welfare of the people, and our columns have borne abundant testimony of his desire to have the local records of the times fairly kept. His principles as man and . minister are firm and positive, and his arguments clear and convincing. We congratulate the cit izens of Goshen upon having such g man te minister to their spiritual comforts, and we can but hope that the good effects of his ministry may bo commensurate with the talents exsrtsd in tb st direction. We wish the reverend gen. tlsmsn long life, perfect h'alth and unbouudsd prosperity"

COLLISION BETWEEN TWO HARTFoRD WoR' TH1Es-The Courant of Monday tells us of a cheerful little bit of pleasantly which toek place in the capital city on Saturday morning last, be- tween two of the enterprising citizens of tha, place, Ar. David Clark, prominent liquor deal CT and politician, and Elisha Johnson, Esq, the well-known Attorney formerly of Plymouth 1T this County. They " colided," it seems, be meath the dome of the spacious State House upon the occasion of law suit, in which MT Johnson was employed as counsel against Mfr Clark. When, after some interchange of com pliments, such as |" liar,' <" miserable skunk, &c., Clark struck MT. Johnson over the head with light cane. which he seized from unde, the Attorneys arm, breaking it-the cane, no Mr. Us head-ln two pieces. MT. Johnson this account says, picked up the cane and ske daddled for his otice, whither it is supposed, ( writ of de canibus inquirendo will be issued, aud Nr.

 LIrcHyIzLD.-We learn that the money for building the Parsonage for the Congregational Society in this village-some$45GC-has been raised, and ground has baen broken for the building on the lot donated by Miss Mary Pierce, on North St. Chas Hetchkiss and Son of Wolcettvills have the contract for the baild- ing.
 The September term of the Superior Court, Judge Seymour presiding, has been adjourned from time to time, for the accommodation of'' some little matters requiring settlement. The term was finally closed yesterday. The November term opens Tuesday next, 4th prox, under Judge-Waldo.;
 We believe this is the last session which these Judges will hold under their present election, as the terms of Judges Seymour, Waldo and Park expire next spring. We presume they are all candidates for election, and we believe we xpress the unanimous desire of the Liteh- field County Bar that the Legislature shall re elect sll three.
 We had little owsquall on Wednesday last in Ltchheld,- ,-the first ofths season. The rain of Sunday and Monday however washed it pretty much allaway.
 The evening line of stages te the depot has been hauled off. Passengers for Lichfeld by the up train now -a-nights have the pleasure of riding over the hills in such convey ance as they can pick up at the station. But Mir. Butler is very accommodating and will furnish as good and rapid team as his village affords.

SOUTH CANAAs.-The ladies of the Congrega tional Society in this village have been adding to their past claims for the gratitude of our brave soldiers in the army, by forwarding an- other box to the s'Womans' Central Relief As sociation' in New York, to be by them distrib uted for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers The Society in South Canaan has 8 most excel. lent exhorter to good works, in the person ot their pastor, who sat on the same bench wi tn us in the old division room at Yale, during Fresh man year, until the sea-side proved too bracine for our weak lungs, and we took trip Cup country for our improved constitution.
