TRIAL OF JuRoRs. The difficulty in oh
tanning jury delayed the trial of the Nor
gan cause in Orleans county. About a
week has been spent in trying the compe-
tency of jurors. Two days were consumed
in empanelling the first seven.
After many were rejected on the score
of having their opinions formed, Robert
Anderson was called. Mr.. Spencer chal-
lenged this juror, on the ground that he
,oaS member Of the society Of Free MaSons
and Of the degree Of Royal .4rch. General
Matthews demanded that the cause Of chal-
lenge should be reduced in writing, which
having been done, Gen. Matthews and Mr..
Barnard denied tina. the cause stated was
a legal ground to challenge. Mr.. Spencer
then produced his authorities. 1t was laid
down in Archbold, among other causes for
principal challenge, that juror belonging
10 the same society or corporation" with II
party, was an incompetent JnIor. The court
remarked that the term society, in the sense
in which it was used by Archhold, had re-
ference to societies recognised 10y law
Mr.. Spencer said he WAS prepared to prove
that the Grand Royal Arch Chapter, of
which the Juror and defendant were Nom
heIs, was made Il body corporate by an act
of our State Legislature. After hearing
the arguments of counsel, the court over
RULED the challenge, for principal cause.
Mr.. Spencer then challenged the juror to
the faUor."
Mr.. Spencer here stated that the juror
(Anderson) was an important witness in
behalf of the people, and ought not to aci
in the capacity of juror and witness. The
defendants counsel urged that Mr.. Ander-
sons being witness did not disqualify
him as juror, and that they could not con-
sent to excuse him for that office.
Mr.. Spencer then called sundry witnesses
relative to the obligations of Free Masonry
The trers 1.-THE first two jurymen sworn,
decided, after hearing the testimony, that
Judge Anderson was ",sot Indifferent" and
he was accordingly rejected.

TIGERS. Some time last week, while
some negroes were engaged in picking out
cotton in field near Thompson's creek,
about 6 or miles below this place, they
were suddenly surprised by tigress leap
ing into the field and sezing dog. The
negroes not aware of their own danger, re-
paired to the assistance of their dog, when
a terrible battle ensued. More dogs came,
Notwithstanding which the tgress would
have made dreadful havoc among them, if a
Spaniard, living near the scene of battle,
had not nterposed-with knife in hand, he
boldly engaged the ferocious animal-he
received several severe wounds, and the
tigress had him down, and would have con-
quered him, had not the negroes succeeded
in thrusting a large stick in the mouth of
the tigfess, and held her until gun was
brought, when she was shot. She meas
ured u feet from the nose to the end of the
tail. The male was seen afterwards in the
neighhoring woods-he appeared much lar
ger than the tigress. 1t is somewhat strange,
indeed, that these animals should be travel
ling in this section of the country. 1t is
probable that they have emigrated from
South America by the way of Mexico,
Texas, and Opelousas. Some two or three
years ugo, tiger was Killed on the hills
near Russellville, in the interior of Ken

SHOCKING DEATH. Captain N. Foster,
a worthy inhabitant Of Sherburne, Chenan-

engaged in his distilery, the steam became
confined in the boiler, the cap flew of, and
in nm instant he was overwhelmed in n
shower of steam and boiling water. He
was with great effort enabled to extricate
himself from this dreadful situation, and
jumped into tub of small beer standing
near. His clothes were instantly stripped
from him. With assistance he walked to
his house, short distance, hut WINS literallv
raw. He survived but ten days, in agonies
the most excruciating leaving wife and
two children.

COMMERCE OF THE BLACK SEA. We leorn
that speculations are already on foot to proft nv
the opening Of the Black Sea. II is calculated
by some of our most intelligent merchants. that
the opening of the passage of the Dardanelles
will give employment to between two and three
hundred sail Of American shipping. In short
time stir will be created among the shin.

months. little has been done in that business,

ceived with gratifcation.-.N. Y. Courier.

AUSTRIA AND MoRocco. Hostilities
have commenced between the Emperor of
Austria and the Emperor of Morocco
Late advices from Tangiers state that the
Austrian squadron continued to cruise along
the Moorish coast, hut that their attempts
to land were prevented by the vigilance of
the Moors. The squadron is said to excite
great contempt among the Moors, and in
deed sce"is TO h""o done no action either
for the profit or glory of its country.

MORGAN TRIAL--CoNcLuDED. The
Circuit Court adjourned on Saturday night.
The case of Elhu Mather, for an alleged
participation in the Morgan affair, occupied
the whole of the last ten days, from in
the morning till 10 al night. The first six
days were occupied in trying the compe-
tency of jurors, and empanelling the jury.
There was,w are told, one mason ON the jury
although Mr.. Spencer, the special counsel,
contended strongly against making any of
the fraternity jurors in case like this, in
volving the interest of d brother. The two
masons who were rejected as jurors, were,
we learn, rejected, not so much on account
of their masonry, as for having formed las
was supposedly an opinion on the subject.
Many others, not masons, were also reject
ed. Mr.. Mather has resided in Vermont
for two years past, and has returned several
Times TO this part of the country for the trial
which has now resulted in his favor. 1t
was the most arduous of all the MORGAN
trials. The jury deliberated about half an
hour, and returned the verdict about IL
o'clock on Saturday night.

FIRE. A fire broke out yesterday morn
ing at one o'clock in the store of Mr.. ]. P.
Hnrlhert, situate near the corner of WASH
linton and Summer streets. This store, and
MIR. james H, Fosters were entirely de-
stroyed. The flames extended around the
corner into Summer street, taking in their
course the Shoe store of Mr.. Lewis Hersey.
In Washington street, besides those already
mentioned, the Crockery ware store of Mr..
i. SemPle was included in the confrgra-
ton, which for long time threatened to
be serious one, as the adacent buildings
in every direction we're wooden, and the
street at that place quite narrow. Indeed
the heat on the opposite side was so intense
that several plates of glass in the windows
fronting the FIRE, were partly liquefed and
bent over nearly double. The corner
building was the property of S. Salisbury,
Esq. Mr. Gihhens, Grocer, in Summer
street, removed all his goods, and his loss
in consequence was considerable, although
his shop was not materially injured. Ii is

years, was accidentally killed on Monday,
the 10th ult.. by the falling of IA tree, he
was engaged in telling. AS it began to
fall, the pressure Of the superintendent

back part of his head, and caused bis death
in short time. One circumstance of ten

to her husband, arrived at the scene of dis
aster ut the very moment of its occurrence,
and was witness of the melancholy and
untimely death of her husband.

Extraordinary ADVENTURE. OnFTl-
day evening last, as several young men of
this neighhorhood, amongst whom were the
Messrs. Snyder and Fogleman, were return
ing from grubbing .frolic, their attention
was attracted lily the barking Of a small dog
in the woods. They Immediately went to
where the dog was barking, and found that
he had something "apG tree" And, being
cul ious to know what the dog was barking
at, one of them, young Snyder, without
much hesitation. attempted 10 climb up,
when, coming within few feet of the OBJ
ject, he was induced to retreat by the growl
that proceeded from the animal. 1t being
dark, they could not distinguish the size or
nature of the beast, but supposed from its
growl that it was too formidable to graphic
with in close contact. They then kindled
fire. by the light of which they discovered
that it was n large Bear. Having no fire
arms to dislodge the gentleman, they deter
mined that one of them should ascend the
tree. Accordingly Mr.. Snyder again went
up, and coming into close quarters with
Bruin, he forced him to come down and
make off; but being closely pursued by the
rest of the boys, he took up another tree.
Recourse was now had to stratagem. A
rope was procured, on which moose was
made, and the same young man again as
cended the tree-when, on coming in the
neighborhood of Bruin, he was not disposed
to be trifed with, and made battle, by strik-
ing at Snyder with his paws, crashing his
teeth and growing most horribly. Snyder,
however, watched for a favorable opportu-
nifty, and very dexterously threw the moose
around his neck, and cried to his comrades
below to "pull." They did so, and down
came the bear and his antagonist together,
topsy-t At first he was disposed to be
somewhat turbulent. but by proper chastise-
ment he was sufficiently civilized to be led
in triumph to the house of the Messrs. Sny-
ders, where he remains in snug winter
quarters.-Lycoming Gazette.

NunTn CAKULTNA. The North Carolina
correspondent of the Boston Courier, is sur
prised at the smalness of the apple, pear,
plumb, and other fruit trees in the eastern
part of that State the trees bear abundant
ly, but he says he has gathered whortle-
berries in Massachusetts from bushes equal
in height to the apple trees in North Caro-
lima. The cattle are very small; a fatted
OK rarely reaches 400 his, and hog of 200
lbs. is considered large. AS one travels
westwardly, leaving the low and fiat coun-
try, these trees and animals gradually be-
come larger, till they assume the ordinary
magnitude of the same kinds elsewhere.
1t is common to plough with one OK, to use
one in the fills of a cart, and to go to mill
upon his back; he is governed by rope
fastened to one horn. The mule is in de
mand for husbandry; he draws well in The
gig and chase, and is. on the whole prefer
red to the horse. He is strong. tough, eats
any thing, and (this writer says) neger dies.
