KENT.

It Is asserted on very high authority that It Is not good for man to be alone. For several months prior to the 4th day of Feb 1863 Mir. Lewis Spooner of this town and Miss Phoebe Tibbetts of New Milford, de- voted their time chiefly to refecting upon the above maxim. They came to tho unanimous conclusion that it was true as regards man and also that it was equally true as regards woman; whereupon on said day, they took each other for better or worse, in the holy estate of matrimonv. Time fled on, and on the evening of Feb. 4th, inst. being five years, the friends of MT. and Mrs. Spooner met at their resi- dence to join them m celebrating their wooden wedding, and celebrated it was, yea, exceedingly aud joyfully celebrated The bride was presented with hat made from birch bark and trimmed with shavings; the groom, with head covering of like material. Adorned in the full panoply of their ligneous ornaments, the happy couple stood forth for their nylopic marriage Wooden weddings not being an ordinance of the church, the ceremony was perform ed by Henry Merwin Esq Justice of the Peace. Among the presents were chairs, brackets, :vases, padding sticks, butter-la- dies and stamps, clothes pins, bowls, trenchers, rolIing-p pin, press board, sugar box, work box baskets, brooms, brushes, a breast pin carved from chestnut knot, a fail, an axe helve pitch fork handle, q load of green wood. To mention the whole history of the occasion would take more space than 1 have to write, or you to print Suffice it to say that after a very happy evening the company parted wishing that MT. and Mrs. S. might live to enjoy every sort of wedding which human ingenuity has devised, And may Perpetual harmony their life attend, > And Venus still the we'll matched pair befriend. May she, when time has sunk him into years Love her old man, and cherish his gray hairs;
 Nor he perceive her charms thro' age decay,
 But think each happy gun his bridal day

DSA A rampant Cornwall Democrat has come to the rescue of the late Republican board of selectmen in that town, and abuses our correspondent, like a pickpocket, in last weeks Sentinel, for having stated that the present Democratic selectmen are man. aging matters better than their predeces- sors. We thank our Democratic friend for his masterly vindication of the conduct of the Republican party in Cornwall. Nor do we find great fault with him for repre- senting us as an ass and our correspondent as scoundrel, i've always expect playful personalities of that kind from Conserva- tive-but when he accuses us of so misus- ing the English language as to say, Che dlurts adomhis party.

Dss- The vilest specimens of newsnaner

DsT The vilest specimens of newspaper abuse that have ever disgraced the Ameri- can press, are those which appear, now and then, in the lower order of Democratic journals, directed against the memory of Abraham Lincoln. Those papers can nev- CT forgive him for overthrowing the Demo- cratic rebellion of 1861. That he was the kindest-hearted of men that he did not even hate the enemies who maligned him while alive just as they have maligned him since his death-to the full extent of their ability; that Democrat, instigated by their lies or by the Father of their lies, murdered him by cowardly shot from be- hind; that this Cain was hunted down and shot like mad dog, while the martyred President was carried to his grave, with such marks of universal grief and respect as the nation had never shown since the death of Washington; that time enough has since elapsed to mitigate any ordinary hatreds;-all these considerations ought,we should imagine, to abate something of the expression of Democratic malice. They have had no such effect.
 The Bridgeport Farmer still continues to refer to Mir. Lincoln as the illinois buffoon,' but the Lacrosse Democrat clearly surpasses all competitors in this particular line of vil- lainy. The N. H. Palladium makes the following extracts: ...3
 The La Crosse Deaoo'at of Tuesday the 11th. lies before us. On one of it's pages is wood cut representing Abraham Lincoln in hell. Beneath the cut he is thus described: ''Hc had plaid shawl s!1;,s and scotch cap on his head, c funny
