Case Of Ers. Gaines.

preston that II 8. Gaines has ultimately gained
her suit. The decision Of the Court does not ex-
clude any who may wish to test the validity of
the viii, and at each attempt to recover the prop
ofty she will be met by suits on this ground
Tne writer adds, the probability is, that Mrs.
Gaines would not be able to recover anything from
Daniel CIark's estate, even if there was a valid
viii in her favor, except what she might obtain
by compromises from parties who do not wish to
be annoyed by litigation, for the simple reason
that Daniel Ciark's estate always was, and still
Is nsolvent.

New MILITIA BuL.-The State Military
Convention, which met in Harrisburg, on
Monday last, appointed a committee to draft
a bill, which they viii urge the Legislature to
pass, regulating the military system Of the
State The move is good one, for the pres
ent militia system is simply ridiculous If it
has any use at all, it is as a source Of fun
and amusement-certainly not as a means of
preparing men for warfare. Loafers and
small boys who attend militia musters will
probably be opposed to any change Some
Old boys, too, if they had their early days to
live over again, would object to any attempt
at reform. The old Constitution is mighty
popular with youngsters.
