Probate Convention.

The Judge and Registers of the sever
al Probate Courts met in Convention at
Montpelier, Nov. 9Th, 1871, and was call
ed to order by Hon. M. w. Bailey, Pro-
bate Judge of Franklin county, who stat
ed the objects of the meeting.
Hon. Abshai Stoddard of Westmin-
ster, was elected President, and Edward
A. Stewart of Derby, Secretary. Eleven
probate districts we're represented by
eleven Judges and four Registers.
Judge Wales of Burlington, pointed
out some of the defects in the probate
laws, and the want of u .ormity in the
practice of probate courts.
Judge Tilden of Barre, read letter
from Hon. j. r. Cleveland Of Brookfeld,
concerning various questions raised in his
district, among which was the question of
the power of the probate court to order
funds held by guardian of an insane
person in this State to the guardian of
the same person in another State, when
the insane person had removed from this
State to the other with the consent of he
guardian here. Also the question of the
power of the probate court to divide the
real estate among the heirs subject to a
claim by the administrator for debts pait
and balance due him on his final settle
ment with the court
The questions discussed by Judge Cleve
land were taken up and considered b,
the Convention at some length.
A committee of five was appointed te
suggest amendments to the probate laws
and submit them to the next session o
the Legislature.
Myron w. Bailey of Franklin. Joel c
Baker of Rutland, and Nelson A. Chas,
Of Washington, were appointed a com
mittee to recommend system of practice
for the probate courts in this State.
s. S. Pike of Lamoil,e called atten
ton to the Homestead law, and asked
what construction the several Probate
Courts put upon the law in cases wher,
there was a mortgage upon the lands in
GLIDING the homestead, but the land,
were worth $500 above mortgage, in ref
erence to placing any burdens of the
mortgage upon the homestead. The CUES
ton was discussed by Judges French
Stoddard, Tilden and others.
After discussion relative to the bust
ness of the committee on practice, it wal
voted that said committee be empowered
to call Convention of Judges and Reg
listers, whenever they shall be ready t.
report.

Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus OF diease can be
safely counteracted by doses OF poison, Is
false and dangerous. Within the last twenty
five years, not less than score OF virulent
poisons have been added TO the repoI-
tory of the medical profession. They are
given In small doses, otherwise they would
destroy life Immediately; but even In mi
nute quantities they produce, ultimately,
very disastrous effects. II Is uuwise and
unphiosopbical to employ, as remedies,
powerful and inSidious drugs, which, in
subjugating one disease, SOW the seeds of
another still more unmanagcable. None of
these terrible medicaments operates with
as much directueSs and certainty upon
the causes OF disease as Hostetter'S Stomach
BitteTs, tonic and corrective, 'cHhOm a sin
gle deletcyiOtY ingredient IN lis composition.
Arsenic and quinia are given for intermit
tents; bromide of potassium for nervous
disorders strychnine and prusic acid for
general debility; mercury, in various forms,
for liver complaint preparations of chloro-
form and opium for sleepeSsness; and yet
these deadly drugs do not compare, rs spe-
cities for the diseases above enumerated,
with that wholesome vegetable invigorant
and Alternative, while they are all so per-
nicious that it is astonishing any physician
should take the responsibility ofprescribing
them. Let invalids, for their own sakes, try
the Bittcrs before they resort TO the posons.
The reliefthey will experience from n course
of the harmless specific will render re-
course to the unsafe preparations referred
TO. quite UNNECESSARY.

The Malaria Of Spring.

Everybody should now be on their guard
against the great danger of disease arising
from malarious causes. Fever and Ague
prevails to an alarming extent every Spring
I'm nearly all parts OF the country, and
many persons are easily predisposed to 1t on
account of some imprudence during the
winter months. Indeed, very much Of the
sickness We notice in the Spring OF the year
may be traced to causes which were en-
genderef in the "cold term But whether
the cause lies hidden In the system or not,
II is certain that disease will develop itself
at the first opportunity, hence, no one
should hesitate for moment to set about
combating and overthrowing 1t. To accom-
plish this purpose, nothing is so useful and
reliable as MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS.
1t is positive antidote for any malarious
or Imprisoned atmosphere and a certain
protection against every morbid influence
which produces disease. We say in all cam
dor to our readers that they should give
heed to our advice on this subject.
