 One More Paper.-Some of our subscri- bers have come to us for an explanation of the fact of our last weeks paper being numbered 6l, and yet the year is at an end. This we explained two weeks since, but very likely some of our readers failed to notice the item and we will endeavor to ex plain again. The Holiday Supplement which we issued Holiday week was not numbered, and as a consequence, the paper issued the fifty-second week, and in. reality the fifty y-second paper, was numbered but fifty-one. To make all satisfied concerning the matter, leaving no risk for dissatisfac- tion, we this week give to all our original subscribers, their fifty-third paper, and call it the end of the first year. The paper is numbered fifty-two of volume one, and thus the numbers are made right. The re- newals of subscriptions have come upon us during the past week, almost, as it were, like an avalanche; but .teD yet remain, and we hope that before time to send out the next weeks paper, the commencement of Volume 2, all who want their paper con- tinued will inform us. As we said last week, we are not afraid to trust our sub- scribers; that is not the reason why we ask payment in advance, as we are willing to wait a,little for those who are, just at this particular time, "short," but it is the idea of ascertaining who wants the NEWS, and who will pay for it at some not far distant time and we act on the principle that if, after the ample notice we have given for a month past, there are any who do not care enough for the paper to say sonetASng to us about it, we conclude they want their name erased from our list.

Governor Holley, our valuable foreign correspondent, whose death was reported short time since, rebukes such statement by writing us another of his series of interesting letters, a portion of which we publish this week. In private note he says his health is fully restored, and all of his party are in the best of spirits. They expect soon to go into Switzerland for few weeks, and then through France, England, Scotland and perhaps Ireland, when they will again cross the ocean for America.
 District Courts.-There is an effort being made to divide the county of Litchfield into judicial districts, in which to be held the district courts of each respective section
 Winsted, New Milford and Falls Village
 have been named as the places for these courts to be held, but there are some who
 prefer Canaan Junction to Falls Village, or
 account of its being more accessible by rail
 road from all points. As to the best place
 fer the location of the courts for this sec
 ton, it is desired that the people would ex press their opinions through the NEWS, an6
 thus the wish of those of this section, who
 are interested, be made known.
