COURT NE WIS.

Hon Lyman D. Brewster of Danbury and A. c. Randall as commissioners upon the estate of Richard l.. Warner, deceas- ed, late of South Canaan, held their final meeting at the savings bank in Falls Village last Friday.
 The most important claim presented was that of his (Warner's) widow, who claimed about $5,OOO with accruing interest for several years. The case proved to be one of unusual interest, as 1t appeared from the evidence that Mrs Warner, whose maiden name was Phebe Ann Yale, was the daughter of Captain Eber Yale, who died at South Canaan in 1816.. leaving wife and seven child ren and an estate inventorying about $14, 900.
 Miss Yale, in 1856, when she was married to Mir Warner, by economy and hard work had accumulated about $5OOO in money and notes, besides having quite an interest in real estate and personal property. At this time MT Warner had 1000.
 MT Warner after their marriage took possession of his wife's property and converted the same to his own use and at his decease in 1882 had in his name in savings banks and government bonds $40, ,OOO. This handsome estate had been acquired by keeping the joint funds of husband and wife at interest in savings banks throughout the county. MT Warner by his last will gave his wife all his personal property, 5000 in money and the use of $10,OOO during her natu- ral life. The commissioners reserved their decision. Roraback and Fenn for Mrs Warner and Terry of Waterbury | for the estate.

The address was admirable in matter and
manner. and was most valuable in its suggest
iveness to the friends of, and workers in Sun
day schools.
Rev. W. T. Crafts spoke FIVE minutes, ex-
pressing his qualification over his visit. He
recalled and emphasized many of the points
presented in the addresses given.
Rev. B. P. Snow of Biddeford, was to follow
with an address on the work of the Chautau-
qua Literary and Scientific Circle, but yielded
his time to the previous speaker. Any one
wishing information about the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle can write to Rev.
B. P. Snow, Biddeford.
The president spoke briefly of the close of
session and urged his brethren to renewed de-
votion to, and earnestness in the work of their
Divine Master.
The audience sang the hymn "Blest be the
tie". and after the benedicton the convention
separated.
The convention has been one OF the most
useful and interesting that the friends of Sun
day schools have ever held in the State, and
has been especially marked by the ability, in
terest, and helpfulness OF the addresses and
discussions. tits simple justice to say that
our visitors from out of the State added great
ly to the interest of the con vention. But we
may remember that three of them, Messrs.
Baker, Crafts and CLARK, were Maine men,
visiting the old home which is ever ready to
greet them with a most cordial welcome.
