Litchfield. The Superior Court resumed its session Wednesday, and is trying the case of Heath & Co. vs. Receivers of Norfolk Bank. It is not expected to try any jury cases, this term. The old firm of Seymour & Seymour is in luck. Judge Seymour is successful in the case between the Danbury and Pahquioque Banks, lately tried before the U. S. Supreme Court, involving $100,000; and E. W. Seymour gets a decision for $24,000 in the suit by the Saugatuck Bridge Co. against the town of Westport. Mr. H. R. Andrews, of Plymouth, has bought the place occupied by Anthony Newton, in Northfield, of A. M. Turner and Walter Filley. Mr. Henry E. Fenn has bought the stage route from this place to the depot, of George Kinney. Mr. Garwood Sanford has been making an addition on the east side of his house. Mr. Julius Deming is to build a residence on the lot east of the Adams place, in West St.
