rur NEW DIVORCE BILL.

The bill introduced by oenA'o
has passed the Senate authorizing Hou
80. 70 hear divorce cases. 1t is claime0
tha, the hearing of these cases III VIZ
Cauntv Court will prevent muoh OF tht
fraud that is now perpetrateo IN OBTAIN
ing the dissolution of the marriage con
trect and lessen the opportunities for col
ill., between the parties and diminish

transferring them from higher to
Iower court is question which practice
mat determine. The developments
allotted in the discussion of the question
IN the Senate In relation to fraud and
evasion of law under the present system
were astonishing. 1t is to be hoped, at
least, that it will prove for the better, for
the present method, according to the
statement, is bad enough. This was one
of the cases where lawyers disagree ma.
terially as to practice, experience, and in
their observation of the workings of the
present system. 1t would seem that the
practice vsries in different counties, so
that what applies to one county may not
apply to another.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A bill was introduced into the House
the other day to protect foxes by forbid
ting that they should be killed only
in certain months of the year, but the
Houss. not seeing the point, refused the
hill ., ~oad reading,--an unusual pro-
ceeding.
Cbittenoan County Is moving for new
Court House, site having been coded to
them by the United States. The object
of this cessiou of a site is probably that
the United States Gan have the use of the
court rooms for Circuit and District
n, arts, so that these courts may be per-
mana. 7tly removed from Rutland, where
tbav NV are held. This gift of the
Iroitss stA tes of site to the county is
yarr.a at 81, 1000, and the bill provides
that the city of Darlington is to pay the
county for its int rest in the old Court
House, The sum of ST. 1000. The sum OF
$4,000 is to be raised by tax Tor the new
building, making the entire L"a'i"oio "p-
preparation $4,000 1t is tc lie hopeo
that Chittenden County will not ha-' the
expensive experience of Rutland County
in building a Court House, or their ap-
preparation will hardly carry them.

Two years hence we predict $4,000 or
$4,000 more will be wanted to complete

exact ratio is GA to 1875. If the diameters
be, as not seldom, as to 3, then it plain
their solid contents will be as to ~
that ia. an egg an inch and u half in di- |
amctrr is nearly three and one'half times
AZ large as one an inch in diameter. The
simple law Is that their contents are az the
oubps of their like dimensions. Weigh
the eggs. we say. There is no eatable sold
in which the buyer is so badly cheated.
