yesterday, and called their attention to the
feet that the records of the Probate Court
were in a very incomplete and unsatisfac-
tory condition, owing to the fact that for a
score or more OF years cases have been con-
stantIy accommodating in which the estates of
deceased individuals ere never properly
administered upon and closed but arc now
remaining open, according to the records,
and i'll various stages of settlement, from
the taking out of letters to the point where
final report should have been made. II il

administrator of an estate within given
period after the administration is Initiated

non-cl0Slng OF the proceedings in the Pro-
bate Court there is a defect in and cloud
upon the title 10 a great deal of property in
the county, and the only way to remedy
the matter is by carrying the cases 10 com

California there will no doubt be Division
encampment held somewhere about the
Bay Of San Francisco this summer This
will bring all the State forces together for
the first time in many years. and although
many claim that separate regimental en-
campments are the best, the Division will
go into camp as the Governor, Major Cen
eral and Acknowledgement favor 1t, and
ShCy being majority of the Board for
Location and Organization, will carry their
point. A meeting of the National Guard
Offers Association should be called at as
early day as practicable, So decide on mat

each days programme, taking good care
that there will not be too much parading
for show. The companies of the First Ar
dilcry should recruit to above the mini

they may have no green men in camp, and
Captains of companies should instruct their
men thoroughly in camp and guard duties.
We expect To see new life infused into
