Registration.-Births-Persons should cause their children to be registered within forty-two days after birth, by giving personal notice to the registrar of theirdistrict,without any fee whatever.

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.

As the cause of death is to be entered, sound discretion should be exercised in ascertaining the real nature of the deceased's death, for which important purpose every facility should be given. SUNDAY LESSONS. Proper Lessons, Morning. Gen. 17 Rom. 2 Matt. 3 Luke 3 to ver. 23

Tenancy. A yearly tenant must take care that

also expire with the tenancy, if that is yearly. the making of a new one; and alterations in wills
Wills.-After Jan. 1838, all wills made in Eng-
land came under the provisions of the new Wills
Act, of which an abstract was given in British Al-
manac for1838. By it, all property may be disposed
of by will; all wills must be in writing, and each
must be signed at the bottom or end by the tes-
tator, or, if he is unable, by some person on his
behalf, by his direction, and in his presence; and
two, or more, attesting witnesses (who must be
present at the same time) must also sign the will.
If the testator wishes to acknowledge or reward

the attesting witnesses, he must do it in some other
way than by bequeathing them anything: for lega-
cies to attesting witnesses, or to the wife or hus-
band of an attesting witness, are void. No person
under twenty-one can make a valid will. Wills
are revoked by subsequent marriage; otherwise
a will can only be revoked by destruction, or by
must be made in the same manner as a will is
made. Wills are to be construed as if made im-
mediately before the death of the testator, unless a
contrary intention is expressed; and properties
bequeathed in general terms include all property
in the possession of the testator at his decease,
whether acquired before or after the will was made.
[If persons make their own wills, without legal
assistance, let them express themselves in a plain
simple way, avoiding roundabout phrases, or at-
tempts to imitate legal phraseology.]
