very valuable work to all students of the
bible has just been issued, from the English

We refer to Barth's Commentary, an exposi-

Translated from the German work edited by
the late DR.. c. G. Barth, Culw, Wiertem-

pages by the learned and venerable Dr. Car

favorable notices from some of the most emf
nent divines and bible scholars in the country,
who have scanned the advanced sheets from
the English prints. But not only to the theo-

Supreme judicial Court. DIckerson Judge.

Saturday Oct 2Sth. No. 497, an appeal
from a decree Of the Hon. II. X Baker, Judge
of Probate. In January of the present year
Edward Peacock petitioned the probate judge
to be appointed the guardian of Mary f.
Peacock, an infant child, alleged to be a resi-
dent of Farmingdale, and also for the care
and custody of said child. The petition was
granted and a decree passed as prayed for.
The mother of the child, Mrs. Evelyn c.
Peacock of New York, was present by attor-
ney and duly claimed an appeal to this court.
There being no disputed facts for jury to de-
eide, the case was heard by the presiding
judge. At the preliminary opening the coun-
sci for the mother Messrs. Piisbury and Lib
hey, moved to dismiss the petition, because
no notice upon the petition was given by the
probate judge and because the said
Judge had no jurisdiction over the
child, its home being that of its mother,
which was admitted to be New York. After
argument, j. Baker being counsel for the Pc
titioner, the judge sustained the motion, and
ordered the decree below to be reversed.
The case will go now to the full court on
bill of exception. These proceedings do not
give the mother possession of her child.
Adjourned to Monday at o'clock.

at the same time to furnish arguments against
the pernicious effects of rationalism, having
implicit faith in the divine inspiration Of the
