,a To-day is the last day which volunteers in the F Army receive the Government advance pay and
 bounty. The State bounty extends five days s more, and the town bounties are set at various s limits, most of them expiring when the town quotas are full, or on the lst of September. Un- less the Itchaeld County Regiment shall be :; filled within short time after it is encanped,
 draft wilfbs instituted at once, and continued to : the full proportion of the County for both of the last calls. Then no bounties achateoer ,oill , be granted; only the simple pay of soldiers in the regular service. It is hoped, and we believe, that we shall be able to get up our full quota of q nen from this County, within two weeks, and SC ! avoid Q draft altogether; but this depends on the loyalty and prompt patriotism of Ltchfield
 County. Shall it be done! A few days will
 decide it, must decide it. .t
 = Men of Litch6eld County it rests with US tc decide noar. Now, while the Selectmen of the
 various towns are making up their enrolment
 lists, shall we hesitate or delay? Shall we wai
 to be e3raaged into service toward which our feet
 should keep step with our hearts? Other parts
 of our noble State are pouring men into thei]
 regiments, until they are more ta. ,.o,1nt . .I.snef, better, more potent than any draft or bounty, OUR COUNTRY wants us for it's defence
 and preservation. Now is the most urgent need our good old Republic can ever have for the as- sistance of its loyal sons. It is now or never
 with us for a successful termination of this wicked war auda victory over the accursed re
 bellion. Now we live a glorious free Republic,

6 We presume an order will be issued soon countermanding all certificates of exemption hitherto issued by the State Surgeons, as the War Department have inauguratcd new mode of enforcing the draft, in case the State Laws are defective. And it is the opinion of high legal authority, that the Selectme are bound to enroll ecery able bodied man, between the ages of Is and 45, and their competency or incompe tency to perform military duty must be passed upon by the regimental Surgeons. An immedi ate order, or interpretation of the law, is neces sary. to relieve the Selectmen of the various towrs Of grave doubts in the matter

 A sudden and aflicting case of deafness has stricken one of New Hartford's prominent men within the last few days. The entire eommuni- ty sympathize with him.
