THE DRAFT.

We publish below from the R,pnbIcan,
a statement Of township quotas under the
pending draft. Bloom twp. is put down
at 80 instead OF % as first announced, and
if fcredits are given for men from the
township who have enlisted elsewhere
since the Sd Of March, in pursuance OF the
law Of that date, he quota now assigned
us will be quite filled. Nothing coald
show more concu,iveIy the character OF
the administration to which the people are
now subjected than this subject of quotas
in this Congressional district. There was
allotted to it quota oil over 2 800, which
made the the Bloom quota 9s. aud it was
only by persistent efforts at Washington
that the groatinjustice oftbe allotment was
obviated. The Committee sent on we're
treated very cavalierly by Provost Marsha al
General Fry, aud an appeal to the Presi.
dent was also fruitess. Mr.. Buckaow
then bad section pu. upon general mil
itary bill providing that drafts should be
made upon any revised enrolment prior
to the actual drawing Of names, instead of
the enrolment as it stood VIXEN the call
was made, and this just rule will be the
law hereafter. This Legislation was not
proposed at the instance of our district
Committee, who knew nothing about il
until after the action af the Senate, but it
was most acceptable and timely as we'll as
just. Subsequent to the adjournment oi
Congress Mr. Buckalew and Mr. Tracy re-
manned al Washington and had several
interviews with General Fry, who had the
law above mentioned referred to the At.
torDey General by whom it was construed
10 be prospective. But under the pressure
Of the fact Of Congressional intention in
the case added to the plain injustice Of the
assigned quota, Gen Fry finally had dis.
tIict corrections made up to January last
reducing the enrolment from eleven thou.
sand to six thousand, and the quota from
aUoot 1900 to something under 400.
This left an element Of iuj justice as to COR.
rections Of enrolment since December, in.
asnuch as they were not taken into &C.
count, but there was substantial advance
toward fairness.

American Misunderstanding
American Watch Co.

Our readers, We are sure, are not gen.
orally aware Of the great impetus that has
been given to manufactures since the be-.
ginning of the war. The high rates of
exchange, and the necessities of the army,
have made the Eastern hills aud valleys
resouud with the hum of busy machinery,
aud nowhere has machinery done more or
created greater revolution in production
and trade than in the manufacture Of the
watch. What was once the toisone, slow
and uncertain result OF hand labor only,
is the swift demonstration Of unvaryiDg
mechanical forces. The same class of
genius that invented the telegraph and
the sewing machine invented the delicate
aud wonderful mechanism that takes hold
of the raw materal-the brass and steel,
and gold, and precious stones, aud under
competent direction turns out that daily
wonder and necessity-a perfect time
keeper. That genius is essentially Amer.
lean, and has been ouud collected, asslmi
lated and made productive by the Ameri.
can Watch Co., at Waltham, Mass. Taking
the best fruits of several years experiments
they established their factory nearly ten
years ago, which they have been compel,
ed to enlarge from year to year unit
they now employ seven hundred workmen
and turn out product valued at million
and half dollars per annum--or equal &c
( that Of all olhor watches now sold in this
country. The secret of this Company
success is that they have done what they
promised--that they have furnished 6rst
rate substantial watch and moderat.
price-aDd this is the great difference be
tween their watches aud the ordinary im
portatious from Europe Except certain
very high priced varieties, the European
watch is the result of cheap and uuskillet
hand labor, that never goes well, and il
short time "costs more than il comes to
in repairs. The American Watch Co
give guarantee for the quality of al
their products, tina! is good with any deal
