HARwINToN. dwelling house of MT. Alanson Humiston, in the south part of the town, was burglariously entered on Thursday evening of last week, and robbed of gold and silver to the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars, Mir. H. is almost eighty years old, and the money taken he had been laying by for some years, and was most of it in coin.- Mir. M. and his wife (the sole occupants of the house)were absent for short time doing their chores. Upon their return, Mrs. H. discover ed pair of lady's gloves in chair near the drawers where the key to the trunk that con- tained the money was kept. which led to the discovery of the lost treasure. Suspicion rests upon a certain female that has been in town more or less for two years past. About two years since, she robbed poor maiden lady of nearly all her clothing and escaped detection. Neither the person or the money have yet been found.

SHARoN.-TLis town has put so large a number of men into the field under former calls, that under the recent order for draft, she is asked to furnish but three men. It is believed that more than that number have re- enlisted from among the veterans, so that no more men can be demanded of the town. The town has also taxed itself so literally that ne'rly all expenses incurred by the war are cancelled.

A@~ The New York Herald correspondent says that in charging the mine under the reb- sl works at Petersburg, |" the quantity of pow der used was six tons ! twelve thousand pounds Imagine eight dry goods boxes (tha magazines resemble them in size and shape,) filled with powder, and you will have an idea of the mine."
Litchfield enquirer., 1864-08-04

*Defciency on former calls.
 It will be seen. from the above, that the statement that Litchfeld County lacks twenty men on former calls is very wide of the truth. It appears that we have an excess in the coun- ty of AT men, and deficiency Gn four towns) of 20, leaving the excess to our credit of 427 men.

CoRNwALL.-The funeral of Capt. Amos ' Allen of Co. G. 11th Regiment Conn, Velun teers, was attended at the North Church on Sunday the 10th ut. The young soldier was much esteemed in this community and large audience gathered on the occasion. The ser mon was preached from the words, II came not to send peace, but sword" and was ap- propriate to the times and the occasion
 Capt. Allen enlisted as a private in the 9th Regiment at the time of it's formation. He proved a faithful and efficient soldier. and so commended himself to his superior officers, that he gradually rose 10 the position in the service that he occupied at the time of his death.
 He was wounded at the battle of Coal liar bor, his leg was amputated, and for few days his prospect for recovery was quito favorable. The hopes in his case were not however real ized, and he died in Douglas Hospital, Wash ingon, on the 9th of the last month, in the 2eth year of his age. Like thousands of oth CTS, he bravely and hercically died that the county might live.

GOSHEN We hear that our Goshen neigh bors feel little sore over their quota, and think that they have been illused by the de- partment in the matter of their enrolment. Very possibly so, but while Goshen has been quietly reposing on her supposed exemption, other towns about have been steadily putting in men against the day of draft and so are better off as the time draws near.

 LIToHrIELr.-At the town meeting held on Monday afternoon, it was voted to give each man that volunteered or provided a substitute from this town, to fill the quota required by the last call, the sum of five hundred dollars. The vote was unanimous, with the exception of a single nefgh from an distinguished re. sident of thesouth, now providentially @ with us.
 By this vote, volunteers from this town get eleven hundred dollars bounty: five hundred from the town, three hundred from the state, and three hundred from the United States,- total SllOO, which, as the war isn't at all like ly to last more than year longer, will make pretty good advance pay for any one willing to go into the ranks.
 We understand that six residents of the town have already furnished substitutes for themselves, to apply on the town quota and the entire quota of the town (nine) will proba- ply be filled this week.
 -Edward o. Peck of this town, has been appointed substitute agent for this county, vice Bradley R, Agard, declined Capt. Peck left for Washington yesterday His assistants are J. r. Brewster, Cornwall, L. D. Hosford, Litchfeld. and F. R Brooker, Wolcottville.
 The Hinsted paper compliments our town in its usual felicitous manner, by remarkinp | that it is the town of all others to which to send weakly mothers, worn out with domestic cares, and families of school girls of the bread and-butter composition age;'' advises all its friends and neighbors to send their families of this description to visit us, and intimates that it shall send it's (editor's) own during : the coming week.

 Some fifty people from various towns in the county, were on hand bright and early on Wednesday morning at the Receivers ofice In this village, to deposit their $500 under the Geernal Order No. g. Mr. J. Sanford Johnson of Cornwall. was the lucky man to get his name first on the list.
 --Another refreshing rain storm. commence ing on Tuesday night, and continuing pretty much all day yesterday, considerably relieved the parched and thirsty fields. and put new face upon nature generally.
 It is too early, as we go to press, to speak of the success of the Tableaux, given at Bulk : ley's Hall last evening, but from a glimpse of the prior rehearsals, we feel safe to assume that it was by far the most attractive exhbi- tion ever given in Litchfeld and as such con- ferred unqualified pleasure upon the audience, and goodly sum to the patriotic object for which the performance was given. F. S.-The TaDieauz will be repeated Fri day Evening.

TRAINING FOR A BOAT RACE.


 The race crews were selected early in the spring and have been working ever since with the idea of carrying as little flesh and as much muscle into the race as possible For awhile they exercised only by gymnasium practice but lately they have been " training" A pro, fessional trainer has been with them night and day for the last few weeks, and has told them what they must or must not eat or drink. A bout three and one half pounds Of very rare peel has been their daily diet accompanied by a little toasted bread or crackers, and very fttle tea. Coffee, punches, cake, pastry, pud- d'ng' pepper and salt are among the things for. b'dden them to use. Smoking is positively forbidden and even smelling the smoke of a ci. gar is considered very. injurious. Lately they have had to run five miles each mornino he fore breakfast, taking as rugged road as they could find and dashing over brooks and fences and lodging around trees so as to increase their wind as much as possible. Vim. Wood of New York has trained the Yale boys for the past few weeks, and there is some prospect of Ehis being obtained at Yale as a permanent teacher of gymnastics and boating.
