 An audience of "A greeted Dr Eddy in our town hall, Monday evening, and were pleased and instructed by his 1ec- ture on his war experience. He was commissioned by Gov Buckingham as chaplain of the 2d regiment of Connect icut volunteers in May, 1861. He had already preached his war sermon, on the day Sumter was fired on, although with but half an hour in which to pre- pare it. He was taken prisoner in the retreat at the first battle of Bull run, July 21, 1861, and spent nearly a year in the prisons of the South. An ex- change was finally effected and termi- mated his experience. Anecdotes and incidents were interspersed and render ed the lecture exceedingly interesting.
 pr Howard E. Gates has been re- appointed and confirmed as postmaster of Litchfield for-well, we don't know the number of times, but it IS from the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. We little thought when we saw 0 tall, dapper looking young man, clad in 8 nice new uniform and paper collar, alight from forage train at Brooks Station and two days afterward saw him dodge the shells in a corn field at Fredericksburg-w do not mean to insinuate that he is an artful dodger-that he would ever attain to such vast proportions as postmaster. But we can't sometimes most always tell what we will come to in the course of human events nor of what stuff man s made until he has been tried. The doe tor is one of those fortunate fellows who is always equal to any occasion and has always administered post office affairs and physic with great success.
