THE LAws.-Last week we published
entire the law relativert to the Probate
Court. This week we give a large pOr-
ton of our paper to the Publication Of
the act regulating the jurisdiction and
procedure before Justices of the Peace.
These acts with the Civa Code took
effect on the first instance, and as they
make important changes it is necessary
that they receive immediate attention.
The law now being published is proba-
bly, the last one that we shall receive

We invite special attention to that
part of the Probate law which directs
certain criminal transcripts to be filed in
the Probate Court instead of the Court
of Common Pleas.

rIoS.-This Convention assembled at
Columbus on the 99th, and was perma-
nently organized by electing c. N. oLDs

Presidents. In the morning the Con-
vention was addressed by Mr. Yates, of
Michigan, and Mr. gewett, of Massachu-
sets. The Convention adjourned to
meet at the stand in Goodale Park, in
the afternoon. The State Journal says:
The State Temperance Convention,
now in session in this city, is numerously
attended by delegates from all parts of
the State. We are sorry to state that
NEAL Dow is not here. He has been
for some days engaged IN the State, and
short time since was taken quite un-
well. He is now confined to his room at
Cleveland.
In the afternoon, Neal Dow was pres
ent, and said, he was happy to meet his
temperance friends in this great and
beautiful State. He had been quite un-
well, but was glad to say he was better,
and on tomorrow he would be happy to
address the Convention. The Conven-
ton was addressed by DR.. Jewett and
Gen. Cary. On Thursday, says the
State journal, the exercises were of a
very interesting character. One of the
largest professions ever seen in Colum-
bus filed through the streets in the fore
noon. The banners, flags and decora-
tons made a fine display. Hon. Neal
Dow spoke about two hours, with much
animation. DR.. Jewett also addressed
the audience.
The Journal, in some remarks on the
Convention, expresses the opinion that
another winterswill see the Maine law
adopted in Ohio. r. rs
