Probate Decision.
Important Case in New Britain.

An Important Case in New Britain.
 A decision of importance in probate law has lately been made by Judge Carpenter of the Supreme Court and Judge of Probate Chamberlain, of New Britain, the former hay ing been called in to assist the latter in or dering the distribution of the estate of the late Augustus W. North, of New Britain, who died intestate in 1878. leaving large estate, and two adult sons by his first wife and two minor children son and daughter,
 by his second wife. About six months after
 his death the youngest of the minor children
 died, aged about two years. The question to
 be decided was whether the share of the de-
 ceased child should be equally divided among the three surviving children, or whether the
 whole share should go to the minor son. In behalf of the latter it was claimed that he, being a brother sfof the whole blood" of | the deceased child, was entitled to the whole of that child's portion, and in behalf of the adult sons that they should share equally
 with the minor son. The question called fo1 | the construction of the statute which pro. vides that eff any minor child die before
 marriage and before any legal disposition of the estate (of his deceased parent), the portion of said deceased child shall | be equally divided among the surviving children and their legal representatives" ln connection with the statute which provides that in the distribution to brothers and sis | ters of the deceased intestate the whole shall 1 go to those ''of the whole blood" The or ! der of the court is that the portion of the de ceased child shall be divided equally among | the three children
 The case was argued in New Britain by H | s. Barbour for the adult sons and F. G. Hun oerford for the minor son.--CO1tTG7lt.

A SoIdfers' Raid.

A South Windham correspondent of the Norwich Neaos writes: Mir. F. J. Tabor had about three quarters of an acre of remarka- ply fine corn that stood twelve feet high on an average. The First regiment, of Hart ford, went through it on Tuesday night of last week and subsequently, much of it was found strewed along the railroad track, the soldiers having used it to thrash jackets with. The soldiers also found their way to Mr. Edward Avery's pole bean patch and took the beans to wear around their necks as emblems of victory. They also took Tim Palmer's squashes and cucumbers, presumably to be used as shot and shell. Perhaps they took the vegetables to fight the Apaches with.

Hull was for a year or, two grand juror of the town of Orange, and in that official capacity signed the warrants for the arrest of the young Malleys and Blanche Douglass, and took an active interest in the case while 1t was before the jury.
