Total

This is understood to mean 2093 as
the actual number Of men Potter county
will be required to furnish under the call
of the President last January and the
last call; so per cent. being added in
clse of draft. 1t will be noticed that
each Borough and township forms dis,
tinct and separate sub, b,district, which is
much the best and fairest way of dividing
the different counties Our people will
feel very grateful to Captain Blair for
this change.
The Commissioners advertise in cur
columns to-day bounty of Three HUI
dred Dollars. This is very liberal offer
and should be made use of by the differ
ent townships to relieve the people of the
burden of the draft. IF efforts are d.
rected in the proper channel and by pro-
per persons it will require but short
time to fill the quota-indeed, there is
but a short time left in which to work -
We will say more about this offer of the
Commissioners in our next, and will now
only cay that it is necessary, just aud
equitable.
