A BIt of History.

The death of Mrs. Hannah Jacobs, relict
Of the late Joseph S. Jacobs, of Alleway,
recalls a bit of local history as connected
with the latter. Mr.. Jacobs was a long
time resident Of Alloway, certainly not
less than forty years, and in all that time
was in one way and another prominently
before the public. At one time he was
teacher Of some of the small schools in the
district. at another time conducted a store
and barber saloon, and for long time was
constable and village esquire. Mr.. Jacobs
was a man Of wonderful courage and large
assurance, and when he had mastered some
points in law to his own satisfaction, hung
out his 'tshingle" and began the practice
in his own little village of what an elo-
quent Englishman once termed 1.-THE basis
of all organized society," lie never after
ward abandoned the pursuit Of his favorite
profession, while at least opportunity af-
forded to practice it, and TO the day of his
death was familiarly known as Barrister
Jacobs. Mr.. Jacobs was a contemporary
resident with Justices of the Peace Nanne-
man, Sender and others, and was some
times consulted as legal authority.

To Abolish The Cour, Of ERRORS.

There is a movement among some New

state constitution aholishing the present
Court Of Errors and Appeals and substitute
ing a new court in its place. The present
court is composed of nine judges of the
Supreme Court, the chancellor and six lay
Judges. The lawyers who favor a change
say the court is cumbersome and unwieldy,
aud that such q court should be an indepen-
dent body, not connected at all with the
Supreme Court; also that such a cour
ought not to have lay judges.
