brethren 10 WIthoraW his name, on tho day oi election, with the promise that tAis year he should be sent to the legislature. We believe he hasn't made arrangements to leave home this spring notwithstanding this pleasant lit- tie agreement. Alas for the vanity of hu- man promises and human expectations = We recommend to Mr. Ford to sing over by himself the cheerful little hymn, oommen cling:
 ''Far from mortal cares retreating, sordid hopes and vain desires"
 OUR JUDGE OF PRoBATE.-By 6 most con- temptible trick on the part of the coppsrhcads, by which several. spurious Union votes con- containing the name of the democratic candi- date for Judge of Probate wore deposited in the ballot-box in Goshen, E. W. Seymour, Esq, has an apparent majority of four in the district. But there will be hardly enough 10 oast Judge Adams, should he desire to coz test the claim of Mir. Seymour to the office, before the legislature. The pperhead board of registration in this town rather everdid the the matter of admitting illegal votes this year, and the Union men will not be disposed, we i'm agine, to allow the doings of the board Go ge un challenged this spring. We observe that Judge Adams ran one ahead of his ticket in Morris four in Warren, and five ahead of the Govern or's vete in Litchfeld-a tribute 10 his person. al popularity which is extremely asttering to him.
 OUR QuoTA--Mr. Ford tells us that he has ascertained at the Provost Marshal's office that we have surplus of seventeen men, over and above all calls that have been made up 10 the present time, and at the Adjutant Gensr- aps office he ascertained that we have in ad dition to the above, twenty-tvo veteran enlist ments, and enlistmenta still going on. So that Litchfold appears to be "out of the draft" for 8 long time ahead.
 -Another young soldier has found his final earthly resting place near the graves of his kindred. Corporal George F. Booth, native of this town, at the age of twenty, enlisted in August 1861, and as member of Co. c. 9th Re giment, c. V. Saw service in North Carolina under Gen. Burnside. He perilled his life in the battle of Newborn, and again at Freder- icksburg-and again at Antietam. There be fell, at his post as color guard and there he died i; his comrades saw him buried and marked the spot-aud weeks ago his remains were remo- we'd for re-interment in the graveyard where reposes the dust of his pa rents, and of his ancestors of several generations. The funer- al services wore attended in the Congrega. tional church in this village on Sabbath, P. M. 18th March, and the preseuce of large assembly testified their regard for the memo ry of one W ho in his life was faithful soldier of Jesus Christ, and in behalf of his eoun- try.
 Hon. Thomas II. Bond, late candidate fer Lieutenant Governor of the State, paid wis. it to our village on Friday evening last, and made speech st the Court House, in which he stated that the right of secession was . southern heresy, and that no Northern man ever admitted the right of secessisa.- He also spoke somewhat disrespeetfully of MT. Jeff. Davis, styling him Q rebel &c.,, To be sure he abused President Lincoln in the same breath, but his speech was evidently not suited to the tastes and complexion of his au- dience, and the result of his labors in this town may be seen in the vote he received from his party in another column.
 Judge Seymour also made little speech, in which he said that cit was charged upon him by the Republicans, that he had been asleep for nine years, but he had walked up at last. '' We presume Judge Seymour is satisfied, by tbis time, that the state Is quite willing he
 should take anothsr nine years nap. See Pro.
 verbs, Chapter XIV verse ss.
