OURSELVES xas TEE NEW YEAR.-H is 6 gen. eral custom among newspaper people to say a good word for themselves and two for their read CTS, at the opening of the New Year. We take the occasion. .therefre, to thank everybody who has cheered and frightened our labor of the past year with their contributions and their cash, and hope we may be the recipients of similar favors during. this year, in even greatsr abundance. h return we have only to say that we shall still use our best endeavors to make this in the future as we are told it has been in the past-the lead. ing Coanty paper in Litchfeld County, aiming to attain, as near as we3can, to perfection.
 It is acknowledged by everybody that every body elss ought to take and upport local pa- per. Of course, everybody will take the best, and the one which gives the fullest items of To, cal interest. In this we can easily refer to our our~readers as to our own merits, and so prefer not to trumpet them ourselves. And so We hope all who are disposed will send in their subscrip tions promptly for the new year and those of our old subscriberswho feel disposed to recon. mend our journal to their neighbors, will be do- ing us favor, ani, ws hope, their neigbbor as well-and 50 make .

STATE CONTROLLER.

Mn. EDITOR Fl noticed in your last number, something was said about a proper candidate for the office of State Controller. The friends of the present incumbent, would like very much to sec his name again associated with that oi our worthy Governor, on the State ticke:, at the coming election; honestly believing that it is worthy of place as near to his, as that which it now occupies. That he has discharged the duties of the office, which have increased ten fold within the past year, to the full satisfaction of every one, theree is sAsa doubt. And having become familiar with the duties of the office, would it not be for the interest of this State, that he should be again intrusted with it! His present position was not of his own seeking, but was accepted by him at the earnest solicitation of his friends, and what they now desire is tha, the voters in this State, should adopt that old maxim, of " letting well enough alone"

BTTHLEM,

The loyal ladies of Bethlem have been very busy of late, in working for our soldiers who have gone forth to fight the battles of our country.
 They have recently forwarded to Washington, two boxes containing the following articles :- 10 bed quilts, IS blankets, 12 pairs of pillows, pairs of linen sheets, 6 pairs of cotton sheets. l6 pairs of cotton pillow cases, pair of linen pillow cases, 10 towels, IA flannel shirts, 9 can- ton flannel wrappers, l6 pairs canton flannel drawers, 30 pairs of mittens, 40 pairs of socks, and 45O yards of bandages, with Q quantity of lint.
 These articles were obtained with little effort, and much more can be done by the ladies of Bethlem, if necessary.
 With this specimen of patriotism, on the part of the ladies. let it longer be said, that Beth lem is secession town.

NEW PRESTON.

low groggery situated at the lower end of Lake "arramaug, near the upper village of New Preston, was totally destroyed by fire late last Thursday night The inmates were all asleep, and had q narrow escape from being burned to death, and probably would have been so, but for the exertions of young man by the name of Wright, who happened to discover the fire, and after good deal of effort, succeeded in waking the occupants up. Pretty much everything else was destroyed, including two dogs that were in the house. The proprietor's name we haven't learned, but we understand he was burnt out of of similar establishment in the fire in New Mil ford, last winter. The fire, it is said, may be some loss to the owners, but not much to the community.

LITcHFIELD.

Tho project for Course of Lectures In this village. for the coming season, to which we made some allusion few weeks since, we are happy to state, is about to be realized Several gentle men of the village, whose names will be eannoun- eed at the proper time, have consented to del;v- CT one lecture each on successive Thursdays evenings, upon'various subjects of general inter est-the proceeds of the course to be devoted to the foundation of PUBLIC LIBRARY
 The good people of Litchfeld hardly need be told that these lectures arc to be given solely for the entertainment and instruction of the public and to aid in passing pleasantly some of the long winter evenings. The public will of course evince their appreciation of the course by giving them generous attendance.
 The first lecture of the Course will be given nert Thursday evening, January 9th, at the Court House at T o'clock, by Rev. GEO. R1oH- ARDS. Subject announced next week.
 Admission 10 cents.

The supper was one of the best, and the occasion apparently one of great interest to the Fraternity. We were only sorry to notice that the inclemency of the weather prevented the. attendance of many of the older members of the Lodge, among whom, no one was more missed than the venerable Stephen Deming, now almost the Patriarch of the Lodge.

 ElAe Opening Year.

As we write, the lamp which lights the last hours of the dying year is Aickering in its sock sst. Old Eighteen sixty.one, with its many me- norials, its many records, and it's vast history, -is -isrembling Oh the verge of its gravs-its histo: " becomes of the past, and the new year 1862 hastens to take its place in the roll of the cen -a The year that is just gone, has been one of eshe most momentous in the annals of our na- ,iou and the world. In it we have seen how the Best and noblest Republican form of government in the world, has been assailed by the parrici. .dal hand of its own offspring, and threatened with the direst calamities, even death itself, by those whom it has nurtured and fostered, an l who gave them the little power for evil they possess. a. g."s
 But in 1t too, if we have seen the evil, we have seen .. well, the noblest traits of those who having enjoyed its blessings, hasten to its resc, in cxtremity-some who have given themselve, to their country's cause upon the field and on ny how sweet and noble thing it is to die for their country. Never since 1776, has twelve month witnessed as much nobleness and heroism and selfsacrifice and devotion-as much infa,ny, eowardice, treachery and disgrace, as the year of grace 1861, which is now numbered with the eras of the past.
 And if the closing year has witnessed the rise and progress of Secession, we trust it has also witnessed its continuation, and that 1862, ere many of its months be numbered with their pre-. decessors, shall witness the complete overthrow of the rebel hordes-the triumph of the Right, and the vindication of those principles and those rights, which the year of the Rebellion served only to brighten and endear in the estimation and to the hearts of loyal people.
 We enter upon the year with the brightest auspices for it's future. The power of the re- bellion seems to be visibly shortened, and the arm of the government heightened. May the hopes we so confidently entertain be fulfilled, and next New Years morning, we may sing pseon of victory which shall reverbcrate far be. yond the lines which now compass the insurrec- tionary hosts-even from out of those regions over which the blackness of darkness and de. spair now seems to settle like pail.
