Blackstone defines municipal law to
be "a rule of action prescribed by the
supreme power of state commanding
what is right and prohibiting what is
wrong" This is perhaps as good a
definition as could be given, but who
shall define the processes adopted in
these days for determining what is the
law? 1t is a pleasant fiction of the law
for starter that ignorance of the law
excuses no one, that every man is sup
posed to know just what the laws are
except the judicial officers, who have
courts of appeals provided for correct
ing their errors. The law is an honora-
BILE profession, and we hope it may ever
remain so, but the practice of the law
is degenerating into a farce. Cases are
tried, not on their merits, but on their
hair-splitting technicalities, raised by
demurrers and motions.
We have a system of justice courts,
with a supposed simple code of proceed
ure. The justices of the peace are not
supposed to be experts in the law, yet
it is provided that actions may be COM
. 4-1SANS0 OOAOAO OA4CA1y WhACA1J al dD-
peal to the district court, become sub
ject to all the long array of senseless
t9chnicalities. The result is that JUS
tice is done-to death.
Some disgruntled client defined a
lawyer to be ga man who protects ones
property from the rapaciousness of
others for the purpose of taking it him
self;' but while this is perhaps pretty
badly exaggerated, it is undoubtedly
true that the principle object of the law
yers is to see that the blindfold over the
eyes of Justice is kept in place.
The trial of law suit ought to be a
simple affair; one that in usual cases
could be tried by any man of average
intelligence; but such is not the case.
Let man go into the justice court with
q common case, a suit to recover money
on contract, and undertake to handle
his own case. The attorney on the
other side at once commences his work
on vivisection. A demurrer is filed, the
complaint does not state facts sufficient
to constitute a cause of action. 1t Is
amended. A plea to the jurisdiction
follows. Again amended, and it catches
half dozen diseases. Finally brought
to an issue, and the technicalities about
the evidence are brought in. 1t is inn
msterial, irrelevant, incompetent, does
not correspond with the allegations, etc.,
ETC., until the client with himself for an
attorney realizes the fact that as a client
he is fool, and as an attorney two of
them. There should Re simple code
of procedure prescribed for the justice
courts, and the judges of the higher
courts should discourage technicalities,
and try cases on their merits.

Russsaa asarrla 70 Laws.

A newly issued blue-bool1 on mar
riage and divorce abroad, contains one
fact amongst many others not general
ly known in this country. By the laws
of Russia q man or woman must marry
before eighty years of age or not marry
at all, and they are also prohibited
from marrying more than four times.
The blue-boolx is naturally full of in
formation as regards the s'prohibi6ed''
degrees. The Brazilian law permits the
marriage of uncle and niece, aunt and
nephew, first cousins and of brothers
in-law with sisters-in-law. In italy
the uncle and niece alliance is valid,
and in France it is open to the presi-
dent to remove the prohibition against
marriages between the deceased wife's
sister and her brother-in-lav, and be-
tween uncle and niece and aunt and
nephew.

Mrs. Shaw gave birth to son, and was Sc
riously i'll at that time A few days later

daughter Mrs. Shaw also leaves three

VERNON.


Our townspeople feel that a great be-
reavement has fallen upon them in the
death OF Marshall Lee, who was so sud
/ denly removed from us last week. The
respect in which he was held was shown
by The large number who attended his fu-
neral last Thursday afternoon. Our pub
Tic schools held only one session that day,
the pupils attending the services at the
church, and realizing that they had lost a
friend who always tried to make the chill
dren happy, He was possessed of a pc
cullarly happy, genial disposition, and it
can be said of him that he had not an en-
envy, but 'loved his felowmen." His hap
Ply face and cheerful voice will be pleas
ant memory to those who knew him. He
united with the Universalist church of this
town when it was organized and had al
ways been faithful, consistent member
and liberal supporter. His life has been
pure and good. He never sought public
office, but when it has been bestowed upon
him, faithfully and inteligentlv performed
! the duties required of him. Mr.. Lee was
the second son of Eli and Rebecca
Stebbns Lee, was born in this town and
always resided here. He lived for many
years on the Lee homestead, but for the
last - years his home was near the centre
of the town. His first wife was Elizabeth
Lyman of Northield Mass. who died in
1873. His second wife was Polly Allen of
Brattleboro, who survives him. Mrs. Min
