 Mir. Alison Barber and wife celebrated the fftieth anniversary of their marriage at Can ton Nov, 18th. The family consists of twelve children, five sons and seven daughters and three of them with their families made jour- ney from Western Iowa, of more than four teen hundred miles, to be present.
 A Public Library Association has been started in Wolcottville, with an outfit of $700 which will be increased to 5000. Two con- venient rooms have been secured in the gran ite block, and 8 very commendable disposition to improve by and maintain the institution is manifested.

 -speaking ofiron, new bed of iron ore is about to bs opened about l8 miles out of New York City on the Harlem Railroad, discovered by man digging potatoes, and is apparently an extensive bed. The Harlem Rail- Road runs directly through portion of the bed in a cut ting t2 fl. deep. and the Toad bed each way from the cnt for some distance is graded with the fine ore taken from the cut, and though this occur red over twenty years ago. it has attracted no attention till the potato-dig ger found his pota. to hills yielding both iron and potatoes. The ore is the srown hemat,te variety like the many thousahds of tons which have passed through this bed within few years psss to the sfaelt- ing fiirhaces in ths vicinity of the City from somo 70 and 80 miles further north. It's pfox- imity to these furnaces will, Of course, render it valuable.

WARREN.-A NEW IRON MisE.-fhs discovery of q new bed of Iron Ore in this County is of sufficient interest and importance to demand notice Tn our columns. Such discotery has been made in the town of Warren, and already a Company has been formed to prosecute its mining. The mine is situated in the centre of a farm of about two hundred acfss, about two miles southwest of Warren Centre The out. cropping is extshsive, ah d to all appearances the bed must be a large one. fhe specimen ore shown us bears a strong resemblance td that proddoed from the best iron-beds of Aiaenia, N. r., being hsasily coated with ochre, which is found in abundance. Two shafts have already been sunk into tho thihs, and it is proposed, We understand, early in the spring to tunnel the mountain, which will more fully develope the extent and richness oi he mine
 The mine is situated very favorably fol working, and from the contiguity of the Kent Salisbury and Amenia Iron-beds gives promise of a vein of equal richness with those. The Com pany that has taken hold of its working, styled The Farmers and Mechanics Mining Co.," is composed of energetic and practical men, and will not fail to de4eiops it's resources in the most thorough manner. When it gets fairly at work we shall give ourselves the pleasure of visit to the new ore beds, and report oui observations.

THE UNION BANNER.-The Courant says that the banner which is to be presented by the Union State Central Committee tosthe town which made the largest increase of votes at the Presidential election over the spring election, is now completed except placing the name of the town thereon. It is United States flag, nine feet long by seven wide, and is made of heavy silk. On blue field the United States and Connecticut coat of arms are given, the whole surrounded by gilt stars. On the reverse is this quotation in scroll from the Declaration of Independence :-" All men are created equal' The painting has been done by F. F. Rice, who has exhibited rare taste and skill. It is beautiful piece of work. Its cost will be about two hundred dol lars. It is stated that the town of Weston, in Fairfield County. will take the banner, having the largest increase over the vote of last SYliug.

THoMAs.- -Theintelligence from Gen. Thomas continues to be favoaable. No new develop ments have taken place since the retirement of Gen Thomas to the vicinity of Nashville Our lines extend around the city in the south cast, its wings resting on the Cumberland river. The enemy's lines are within three miles of the city, in southeastern direction
 Heavy skirmishing occurred yesterday on our left; without serious results to either side. It is supposed that Hood will not long delay an attack on our lines. The north bank of the river was patrolled by Union cavalry, te pre- vent crossing by the rebels. A runior that Forrest has placed a pontoou bridge across the river. above the city, is contradictcd A block-house; four miles from the city, on the
 Chattanooga road, was surrendered by the rebels yesterday, after brief but intellectual resistance against greatly superior numbers.
Litchfield enquirer., 1864-12-08

SHERMAN.-The news from Gen. Sherman's s is very satisfactory. There is little doubt, from the admission of the rebel papers, that in his march through the heart of Georgia, he has met with but little opposition from the rebel forces, and that ere this he has probably reached the vicinity of Savannah. The rebel papers make the most of au alleged repulse of fitzpatrick, and tho capture of his hat. The details of his progress, obtained from rebel sources, show the effect of his destructive march through the country. It appears that he found supplies so plenty that great quanti- t!es of corn. wheat, &c., were burned, and horses, mules, sheep, swine, etc, killed on the roadside.
