## NOTICES TO VOTERS.

The List of Voters for Counties is exhibited on all church and chapel doors for fourteen days from the 20th June, and every voter should examine same to see if his name is published. All claims to votes for counties must be made before the 20th July. Payment of Poor Rates due on January 5th must be made on or before July 20th, to be eligible to vote for Members of Parliament. The Lists of Voters for Cities and Boroughs are exhibited for fourteen days from the 1st of August. Lodgers must send in their claims to vote between the 1st and 25th August. Lists of Lodger claims are published the 1st September.

## HOW TO MAKE A WILL.

State as simply and concisely as possible, and without any attempt at legal phraseology, the manner in which you desire to dispose of your property. Careful attention to the following remarks will supply so much of the Law as is necessary for an ordinary will. Particular attention must be paid to the legal formalities required in the execution of the will. Codicils should never be attempted by non-professional persons; it is, in fact, generally easier to re-write the will than to make a codicil.

All property may be disposed of by will; and no person under the age of twenty-one years can make a will.

No married woman can, without her husband's express consent (to be given at the time of making the will, and ratified after her death) make a will, except such as might have been made by her before the passing of the Wills Act in 1837, that is, a will disposing of property belonging to her for her separate use, or over which she has a testamentary power of appointment.

Every will should be signed at the foot or end thereof (that is immediately under the last line of it, and without leaving any space between the last line and the name) by the person making it, or by some other person, in his presence and by his direction; such signature must be in the presence of two witnesses, at least, who must sign their names and addresses against the attestation clause before leaving the Testator's presence, and against every alteration and interlineation made before the will is executed, the Testator and the Witnesses must sign their names; nothing should be scratched out or erased, or the will might be held incapable of proof.

A person, or the wife or the husband of a person, who takes anything under the will, should not be a witness. Though the will would not be affected thereby, the gift to such person, or the wife or husband of such person, is altogether void. An Executor is a good Witness, though it is better that he should not be one. Any legacy to him would thereby be made void, and a legacy to a friend is made void or "lapses" by his death before the testator's. A legacy to a testator's child does not lapse by his death, but

goes to the child's issue, should he have left any.

A concise and Legal Form of a Will may be had of the Publisher of this Diary. Price 6d. By Letter Post, 7d.

## PROVING WILLS.

There is now at each district registry of the Court of Probate, and also at the principal registry at Doctors' Commons, a department for granting probate of wills and administrations on personal application. This will be found a great boon in the distribution of small estates.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.

BIRTHS. — Persons should cause their children to be registered within forty-two days after birth, by giving personal notice to the Registrar of their district, without any fee whatever. Registration may be effected after the expiration of the forty-two days, and within six months on payment of 7s. 6d.; but after six months no birth can be registered.

DEATHS. — Intimation should be given of deaths in the same manner as births. This is of importance to be done early, as the undertaker must have a certificate to give to the minister who reads the funeral service, without which, he may refuse to bury the body.

PASSPORTS.

Passports are not required to visit the countries of France, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, or Norway.

Applications for Foreign-office passports must be made in writing, and enclosed in a cover, addressed to "Her Majesty's Secretary of State, Foreign-office, London," with the word "Passport" conspicuously written on the cover.

The charge on the issue of a passport, whatever number of persons may be named in it, is two shillings, including sixpence stamp duty.

Passports are issued at the Foreign-office, between the hours of 11 and 4 on the day following that on which the application for the passport has been received.

Passports are granted to all persons either known to the Secretary of State, or recommended by some person who is known to him; or upon the application of any Banking firm; or upon the production of a Certificate of Identity, signed by any Mayor, Magistrate, Justice, Minister of Religion, Physician, Surgeon, Solicitor, or Notary.

Foreign-office passports must be countersigned at the Mission in London, or at some Consulate in the United Kingdom of the Government of the country which the bearer of the passport intends to visit.

## LAMPLOUGH'S PYRETIC SALINE

Is found pre-eminently beneficial in preventing and curing SMALL-POX by Purifying, Invigorating, and Vitalizing the Blood. Any Person who has already had this complaint should take it, and be kept in a good cool and darkened room, to prevent its leaving any trace to the features.

SICKNESS, HEADACHE, and NAUSEA are in most cases immediately relieved by taking a tea-spoonful in a tumbler of cold water. This can be repeated once or twice in two hours, if needful.

SEA VOYAGES.—It is a very valuable accompaniment, and should on no account be omitted, It instantly allays the sea or bilious sickness.

For BILIOUS CONSTITUTIONS giving rise to vitiated secretions, Indigestion, and Eruptions on the Skin, a tea-spoonful should be taken daily with the dinner in a tumbler of water, and the same quantity on going to bed.
