Probate Courts.

Wednesdays Chicago papers gave review OF
the opinion filed in the Southern Grand Division
of the Supreme Court, in behalf OF the majority
of the court, which virtually would give county
courts concurrent jurisdiction with probate
courts, where such courts exist in the same coun.
ty, in all probate matters. Information has
since been received by private parties in this
couHty which leads them to believe that notwith-
standing the opinion there still exists doubt as
to the full meaning and intention OF the su-
preme court, and that ultimately the jurisdiction
will be separated, relieving the county court OF
all probate matters in this and Cook counties or
such other counties as may hereafter establish
probate courts under the law. No further ques-
ton has been raised as regards the constitution.
atty OF the probate court act since the decision
rendered at tie March term sitting in this city.
The full intent and meaning will probably be
made known In few days.
large invoice OF watches, including several
new and beautiful designs, gold and silver, was
placed on sale at r. H. Trask's yesterday. Those,
in addition u the large stock on hand, make

the batters' place,
And the umpire with the terrible gall sent
him 10 his base.
He undertook to slide to second, and so did the
little sphere,
And the play was made 80 nicely, that the
crowd began to cheer.
But the gally man behind the bat gave his
little decision,
laughed with sheer derislon.
