The Aid Societies. -- We have noticed, under the head of the "Two Years' Volunteers," the patriotic manner in which all parties joined, in Port Chester, in the effort to avert suffering from the families of the first company that went from the county. Other towns were by no means idle in the g;ood work ; but it is much to be regretted that the records of these societies have, for the most part, perished, and that particulars of names and of the work done are not accessible.

The local papers from which they might be gleaned have for the most part perished, the editors keeping no regular files ; and the -references to Westchester County in the cily papers are few and far between. From the New York Herald of August 17, 1861, we learn, by an item, that the town of Bedford held a fair on the 16th, under the auspices of the ladies of Katonah, in which Judge Robertson auctioned off the goods, and read a letter from Mrs. Lincoln, stating that she had presented the " Havelocks " sent from Katonah to the Second, Ninth, Twenty-seventh and Tammany Regiments, and that they had been received " thankfully and with cheers."

The town of Cortlandt, thanks to the care of Mr. Coffin S. Brown, who was supervisor at the time, has preserved the names of the members of the first society raised in that town, April 27, 1861. The officers of this, which was denominated the "Soldiers' Relief Association," were : President, Mrs. Daniel Jones ; Secretary, Miss Amelia B. Mills ; Treasurer, Miss Sarah Taylor. The committee to raise funds was ; -- Mrs. John B. Mills, Mrs. Conrad Quin, Mrs. Edward Mills, Mrs. Joseph Mason, Misses Amanda Wright and Augusta Taylor. This association held weekly meetings throughout the war, sent out large supplies of lint, bandages, clothing and supplies for the Sanitary and Christian Commissions, and otherwise did noble work, being one of those bands of noble women in the Northern States who, together, managed to raise the sum of seventeen millions of dollars, by strictly voluntary contributions, for those great charitable societies.
