THE Hartford Post of the 7th inst made the following startling announce ment:-
 There are no legally qualified justices of the peace in Connecticut to-day. The terms of the old justices expired on Monday, March 5,and those persons who were elected to fill the places of the re tiring officers, or who were reelected, have not yet been able to take the oath of office before the clerks of the superior court in the several counties. The trouble is in the dilatory action of leg islative committee which has failed to complete the canvass of votes for just ices of the peace and return the result to the office of secretary of state. Until this necessary action shall have been taken it is impossible for the official no- tification to the clerks of courts to be forwarded from the secretary of states office, informing them who are properly elected and entitled to qualify. But only think of it. Here the state has been for two whole days without just ice of the peace. The matter should be attended to at once.

REV Morgan Dix of Trinity Church, New York, has been preaching series of lenten sermons on the divorce laws and kindred subjects. He gave the New England states raking over the other night for their loose legislation in regard to divorces and said that on the basis of the present census there was divorce to every 1887 inhabitants in Maine, to every 1,439 in New Hamp- shire, to every 1887 in Vermont, to 2,971 in Massachusetts, l to every 1,559 in Connecticut and to every 1,411 in Rhode Island. The ratio of divorces to marriages in Connecticut was l to Il and in the other states the ratio is about the same. After alluding to the "Civ- il Contract" theory of marriage, Dr Dix showed the connection of the evil with some of the social and religious heresies of the day. He said The civil con tract theory of marriage is an outgrowth of the system which banishes God from the world and from human life, It is z principal of a rationalized community of g society which has ceased to be Christian. Some of us are reproache6 for not being in accord with the spiri of the age and its movements; but th' spirit of the age and its movements ar' practically atheistic. To drop all relig ious ideas, to cease to recognize God' will and law, to teach men to live with out God, is the aim of the modern re former and his views of marriage art one among the signs of his general state of mind. Unfortunately we cannot stol here. The truth must be told. This Ii not only sign of an infidel society i is also an upgrowth from the system known as Professionalism. There can b, no doubt as to the genesis of this abomi nation.

On opening freight car, Wednesday morning, at the Plainfeld railroad sta- tion, which had just arrived from Prov idence, where it had been loaded and sealed the day before, it was found to contain two boys about II and If years of age. The boys acknowledged hiding in the cars at Providence, hoping to get to New York. It is surmised that they were on the way West to help extin- guish the Indians, as one of the boys carried 8 ferocious looking case-knife ground to point in belt at his waist. But wiser counsel prevailed, and they were induced to return home; and thus no doubt Q bloody slaughter of the In. dians was prevented.
