RETU RNISG TO MAssA."-We saw Satur.
day some twelve or fifteen negroes, more
than half of them under fifteen years of age,
and all females except one, who left their
master, Mr.. @. Owens, OF Fauquier, in 1865,
and made their way to this county, where
they have since lived. Some weeks ago the
grown members of the party wrote to their
former master, telling him Of their destitute
condition and asking to be taken back as his
servants. Mr.. Owens consented to the re-
quest forwarded money here to relieve their
immediate necessities, and also to pay their
fare over the railroad to their former home.
They left yesterday morning on the Orange
cars, and were rejoiced at the prospect Of
again having kind master TO take care Of
them,-LyRchburg Va. )1NeWs.

NetoS has the following:
The Knoxville Wing says that out of so
petitions for pardons, sought by friends OF
conyicts in the penitentiary now on the file
at Nashville, awaiting the action of the Gov,
ernor, at least two thirds Of these allege that
they committed their offence while under the
influence of liquor. This really furnishes no
ground for pardon-rather it aggravates the
case. No man has any right to plead drunk,
enness as an excuse or defence for the com.
mission of crime. Still, drunkenness is con,
filming thousands in prison-reducing thou,
sands to poverty, and tens Of thousands to
premature graves. Intemperance is the
handspring Of all the machinery of ungodli-
ness with which this vast country abounds.

WOODBURY.

Tie annual fair of the Woodbury Agri- cultural and Horticultural Union was held on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week on the grounds of the Association situated a mile west of it's village. The exhibition of cattle was unusually large, and, by com petent judges, they were pronounced to be superior to those of other years. 4 large number of horses were shown and among them were Warren's of Watertown. Many fine turnouts from abroad were seen on the track. Vegetables were abundant and very fne The display of fruits, considering this fruitless season, was far better than
 had been anticipated, and conspicuous among these was collection of most temp ting peaches from E. l.. Thompson Esq. of Bethlehem. A. C. Strong Esq. of Wood

On Friday night, the manufactory oi Lathrop < Barton was destroyed by fire The loss is estimated at S24, 00O Insur- ance about $21, ,000 Iessrs. Lathrop { Barton are extensively engaged in the bu- siness of manufacturing table cutlery, and some twenty or thirty hands were thrown out of employment.
 On Monday afternoon. there was a sudden, unprecedented and disastrous fail in the Winsted cheese market AI1. Rollin l.. Beecher has been using ;t room in a building of the Gilman Carriage Company for storing cheeses, and was taking in & fresh lot, when the floor gave way, and several tons of that article. together with several individuals, were precipitatod pro- miscuously into the basement below. 4 Mfr Mallison from Sandisfeld, who was unloading cheeses at the time, had his leg badly crushed, besides being otherwise in lured.
 The citizens of Winsted are just now considerably aroused about the proposed railroad through this place, and quite san guine of it's success. It is to start from Sprin gield, Mass, run.ling southwesterly through Hartford County, connecting by branch with Hartford. Thence it pro- ceeds northwesterly through the villages of New Hartford and Winsted to Norfolk, thence through Canaan into Salisbury where it turns to the southwest, running tc Fishkill through Sharon by Washington Hollow.

" News of the Week.

FOREIGN. recent session of the Pan-Anglican Synod, the writings of Dr. Colenso, Bishop of Natal. were discussed and condemned.
 The excitement in Florence consequent upon the reception of the news of Gari- baldi's arrest, was intense. His partisans united in Q turbulent demonstration of sympathy for their leader, but were speed fly dispersed by the military. King Victor Emmanuel has issued another. proclama- tion, in which he says that the faith of the Government, pledged in it's treaties with foreign Powers, exacted of 1t the painful duty of arresting Garabaldi, the acknowl- edged leader of movement in direct vio~ lation of those treaties It is said that the Italian Government has offered to send Garabaldi to his home at Caprera, and re- lieye him from all restraint, if he will give his parole not to engage in further hostili- ties against the Roman States. The French official and semi-official Press warmly in dorse the decision of the Italian Govern ment. Serious riots have broken out also 1n Genoa, Milan, Modena, Naples, and in various other parts of Italy, and 1t is said the king will call an extraordinary session of Parliament. Garibaldi, from his pris- on at Alessandria, has written q letter in which he says the Romans have the right which all slaves have, to rise against their oppressors, and 1t is the duty of Italians to help them i'll their struggle for liberty. He hopes his fellow patriots will not be dis couraged by their last reverse, and exhorts them to reorganize and march again to the achievement of their great purpose-the liberation of Rome. The reports from It. ally are very conflicting, although it would seem that the riots have been quelled. The Pope has sent message to the Emperor Napoleon, thanking him for the arrest of Gaubaldi.
 The Sultan has at length sent out a Com mission Of Inquiry, consisting of three Turkish and three Greek members, to in yestigate the affairs of the Island of Crete
 1t Is reported that Napoleon has address ed a letter to the sovereigns of the South German States, asking them to pledge themselves not to merge themselves in the new German Confederation.

 An attack has been made by the Allies on the Paraguayan fortresses of Curupaity and Humaity. Result unknown.

Town Elections i.

Let every Republican be in attendance on Monday next, in every town which we can by any possibility carry. On this cleo. ton depends to great extent the repre-. sentation of the county in the Legislature next Spring. So many removals occur about the first of April in each year, that partisan Board can easily exclude, or ad- init, many votes, without doing great ap- parent injustice. We must provide against such contingency, if we wish to ensure the election of a Union U. s. Senator, in place of James Dixon, and of Union Gov ernor, in place of James E. English.
 Let the Union men of Colebrook, New Milford and Kent, of Warren and Bethle- hem. exert themselves as the emergency demands, and Litchfeld County will be safe next Spring.

Although our quiet town is not as fort'l- nate in possessing as nlanysnewspaper cor respondents, as some of OUT neighboring villages, yet we wish it to be known, that We still live and swing around the Circle once year We have large corn, pota- toes, rye. chickens, &c that will probably compete with the same things we read about; and We also have good supply of refreshing gossip, that gets circulated as quickly as if published in 8 daily paper. Besides Falls Village possesses many pecu- liar attractions, as all will admit who have ever lived in this part of Canaan. Here you will find the falls (raal water-falls) and when the wateris high they cannot be equal led by anything in the New England states. The view is magnificent, and hundreds of strangers visit 1t annually. Close by the falls are the large Iron works of Horatio Ames, where he makes his large wrought Iron Cannon. The works are now idle, but re- port says that he intends to commence work sa2ain next spring. He is re- pairing and says he intends to add one hundred feet more to the buildings, and employ Iarger number of men than ever before. One of the reasons given why the works arenow idle is, that the contractor at Washington has ninety second cousin making cannon and he receives the patron age of the government, and will, until i "Andy'' takes another swing.
 The Water Power Company has succeed ed in getting the Hon. Wm. H. Barnum at the head of their Company, and are now repairing their works, which are some what dilapidated but as soon as things are in order, this will be one of the best water privileges in the state and must eventually succeed ill drawing hither an immense cap- ital for manufacturing purposes. Our merchants are doing a very good business.
