QUARTZ Mill RExovED.-The owners OF the
Even ing Star mine on Rock Greek, few miles
north Of town, Gen. Taylor, Quick, Heenan &
Company. have purchased what WAS known as
The wcbdall quartz mill at Ncwtowu, and are
having II removed and rc-erected on their claim.
All the crashings Of quartz from the Evening
Star have shown it be very rich mine. The
last crushing OF some ,wenty-eight tons,
at the Green Euigrant mill, yielded about s2zo
per ton IN free gold. The claim was not In good
eondition at the opening OF the rainy season
for working to advantage, but now, as iair
weather bas set in, the owners feel Justihed IN
erecting a mill and preparing for permanent
work. At present everything betokens mere
prosperous season among quartz miners in this
section o: the country than has ever been wit
aessed here in the past.

LEGAL DISABILITIES OF CONNEC '- TICUT MARRIED WOMEN. ''4

So many incorrect and incomplete state ments of the law of Connecticut regarding married women have found their way into print that we feel it a duty to lay before our readers the results of an examination
 into that law, we have of late been mak- ing. We are we'll aware that our resume is, itself, nasty and incomplete. but we i'm agine it will give better idea of the legal relation between man and wife as it exists in this state. than any to which those who have not made special study of the matter will have been able to arrive.
 The first mistake into which person, not lawyer by profession, is apt to fall in en- deavoring to inform himself on legal sub- jects, is that of supposing that the whole, or at least the most important part. of our law can be found in the statute book Such is not the case. The basis of our jurispru- dence is what is called the common law, to be gathered from the practice and decis- ions of the English and American courts for hundreds of years past. It is some- times called the unDrinen law from the fact that no authorized code or digest has ever been made of it. as was the case with the civil law under Justinian, and with the French law under Napoleon. The com mon law has been added to and changed by statute law, but, except as so modified, remains in force as the law of the land
 Occasional uncertainty arises as to what that law is, owing to conflict of decisions; but, in the absence of such con- lict, decisions of the English and American courts are generally con- sidered as establishing the law for us as well as for them; and all cases decided in our Connecticut courts of highest resort are of binding and conclusive authority, until the law is itself changed by the legis- lature, or the decisions over ruled in the court where they were made. It so hap pens that all the alleyiations of our mar riage law are to be found in few pages of our Revised Statutes, while the far more important, unrepealed provisions of the common law are scattered through numer- ous ''reports." and only briefly summariz- ed in the text books Hence an unprofes- sionsl reader is more apt in this than in other branches of the law to get erroneous impressions regarding it's real condition.
 The subject is naturally divided into three heads which we arrange in the order of their importance: s.9' isaa,t@~- s..t
 1.-The wife's personal snbjection ta the husband, ...... -.....Es .-.s -...ags-
 2.-Her want of legal authority over tnelr children. las s..--a.. t.. -s444.au s.- --s
