- years. In the death of Capt. Foster the fami-
ly has met with great loss, being n very kind
agreeable husband an indugcnt and kindhcartcd
father, always making it his chief delight to
der his household pleasant and happy. He was
very strongly attached to hi, family and enjoyed
lie most when he could the most add to their hap
pness and comfort. When forty nine years of age
he made public profession of religion and was
united with the Baptist church in Trenton. in
which he maintained straight forward and con-
sistcnt christian to the end of LIES jour
ney. In HIS last sickness, which was severe, he
was very patient and his sufferings wtrc borne
with christian fortitude and without murmur,
fully RELYING on tho merits of the Saviour from
whom he derived his comfort and support. His
faculties remained to the last, and without a
struggle or groan he quietly and peacefully fell
asleep and passed to tho spirit world. t.

least it is cheap, costing only six dollars, which
brings it within the reach of every one having
clothes to wash.
The machines can be seen and examined at the

Our Quota under the last Call.

II is announced from Washington that the
Quota Of Vermont under the last call is
$500. against which the state had on the
LIST Of March credits amounting to 2,l30,
leaving balance of 100 men to be raised, if
there had been no enlistments since the lst
of March. There hare, however, been nu-
merous enlistments in the State this month.
and we understand that the veteran
Refreshments are not included in the
above credits. There is no doubt that
as State, Vermont has already a
surplus, orer and ADORE her quota of the
last call. But the Presidents order plainly
indicates the intention of the government to
see to it that sub-districts as well as states
shall bring up their quotas. And this is
but fair and right. The town which, by ex-
ira exertlon or liberahty, has secured sur
plus of men, should not in justice have its
surplus passed to the credit Of some less &C
tive and patriotic bailiwick. Each should,
and must under the present arrangement,
stand on Its own bottom.
We are indebted to Brig. Gen1. Pitcher,
A. A. P. NJ. Gen1. for Vermont, for the
following table of quotas, credits and def
ciencies, for this Congressional district In
a letter accompanying it he says
" The quota Of your District has not been an
nounced yet by the Provost Marshal General,
but in this calculation | have assumed that it
will be the for the last call of 200 900 of
Feb. LIST. l do not wish &c be understood as
giving this as the official statement of the I
quota of your District, as instructions from the 4
Provost Marshal General may vary it slightly. I
. 1t will be seen from the calculations
that your district has few men to raise; but
there is still ten days, during which time bOun-
ties will be paid, and the towns, if they wish to
.void . draft, should be up and stirring"
