the State SO as to abolish Probate
Courts; to establish Common Pleas
Courts in each county of the State,
with one or more Judges resident

the jurisdiction it now possesses and
jurisdiction in probate matters.

the Supreme Judges from holding
District Courts, leaving them only to
hold a Supreme Court at the capital,
with the jurisdiction of that Court

A District Court is provided for
by dividing the State into fifteen
judicial districts, in each of which a
Judge of the District Court shall be
Ell. cted, any three of whom shall hold
a District Court in each county at

time Of their election.
The districts are to be of compact
territory bounded by county lines
The territorial limits of each are not
yet agreed upon.
Judges are to hold their terms for
five years; the Supreme Judges to

in another column, for next Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Lecture
room of the Third Presbyterian Church
will be one of unusual interest. The
Rev. j. T. Gracey, who will probably
be present, is missionary from India
He has seen how Providence there in
various ways, is opening the homes and
hearts of the Hindoo women especially
of the higher classes, to the influence
of the Gospel brought to them by
ladies from this Country and England.
To these women, no gentlemen, not
even Il physician. can have access. -
While the wives of missionaries in To
dia do all in their power to meet the
case, there is yet great need of the
labor of other ladies especially devoted
to teaching and visiting from house to
house.
Three missionary ladies have recently
sailed for China, with view IT, estah
lish there home such as is already in
successful o"erhtion, under the care Of
the ladies of this country. in Calcutta,

rectly recognized by our churches

Dublin the collection of Peters Pence, the
chief resource of his Holiness, has been
usually successful. 1t is considerably in excess
of last year. 1t was nearly all contributed in
small sums, and the totals varied from hun
dreds of pounds in the principal parishes to

forwarded from the Catholic University, May
nooth, the Diocesan Seminary, and other
schools, exceeds E2600 In the other dioceses

conspicuous. They take profound pleasure
in the Peters Pence collection. They know it

equal Catholic population in any part of the
Continent it does not surpass Ireland i'll liberal-

Holiness is just very great. The

both preparatory aud during its progress, will
be heavy. But Catholic muuihcence-wi come

and though it's revenue is more precarious,

it is sufficiently assured to enable his Holiness
