Our Natal Day.

To-day marks the anniversary OF the se'e'i-
tv-eighth year of American Independence
What important changes and mutations IN
the destiny of the world have taken place With
in that period-about the lifetime allotted to
mortal existence Our nation has waXed into
the strength and dimensions of Hercules, and
each succeeding year develops new causes for
our Thanksgiving, and commcnds the sacred
observance Of all the honols due to our natal
day.
With the blessings of free government,
wise laws, and continuous prosperity, We live
the life Of contented patriots, watching with
jealous eye the slightest encroachments upon
our national honor. Let US hope that this val
ued liberty may spread over the enthralled
world, and that our happy country may ever
afford the exile and stranger the protection and
confidence that they find not at home.
With these feelings to inspire US, let us
celebrate the Fourth" with more than ordi-
nary enthusiasm, and while, by an indulgence
in honored festivities, we render thanks for the
blessings of a kind Providence, let us renenl-
Der those who are debarred these privileges,
and pray that " independence Day will soon
be an anniversary wherever man exists.
1t is not our intention to dwell longer upon
this subject, lest we might be accused Of an
" oration.' For further particulars, the com
munity Will please inquire Of Col. Dustin, the
"Orator Of the Day.

The System of Juries.

The blessing Of to-day may become the curse
Of tomorrow, and where is better proof of this
assertion than the jury system as it now exists
i'll this enlightened country? When irrespon-
sible despotisms had miSgoyerncd the people
into ahj"ct servlity, the trial by jury was con-
sidered the greatest privilege Of the day, but
in tiis progressive age Institutions are good
and bad only by comparison. Everything is
for its time.
Every matter connected with, and pertain
ing to, the ancient law, has sustained some
N diff alton, save the institution of the Jury.
1t alone remains relic Of darker ages I'M
provement is seriously ne, dcd, and shall it not
progress? Ask any man liable to do Jury du-
ty, and he will vote it a pest, a nuisance, and
a bore. Ask litigants and they shake then
heads, and discourse of justice as a prize from
the lottery wheel-a chance for neither
Should man be wronglully accused of crime,
lie breads the uncertainty Of Il jury, lest i'm
proper influences may sink him into convic-
ton. The guilty culprit looks TO the Jury as
I" a chance Of heaven to escape merited pun
iShmcnt, through The mediation Of available
counsel.
Everybody says" Do justice" but no one
tells what justice is. Few people go to work
deliberately to do wrong, but thousands are al
ways doing wrong, simply because they are
ignorant of what is right. The law, which is
intended to instruct, is the very beforging OF
juries; and judges, too, in their anxiety to hold
the " scales Of JUSTICE even, often forget what
is in them.
There must be some better way to solve this
problem. Here is mass Of well informed and
practiccd men toilng away at this matter OF
d" doing justice" and nobody satisfied The
superintendent wisdom Of the age ought to find
us some relief.
Ey~Mr. HIcucox, the man who was wound
ed in an aflray with Mr.. PELKER, one day last
week, died from the effects of his wound, YES
terday morning at quarter past IL o'clock.
His funeral will take place to day, from his
late residence, at two O'Clock. We are request
ed to state that the members of Saint Paul
Lodge, No. ?, l. o. 0. f., will meet at their
hall at one o'clock, 2. NJ, to make arrange
ments for the burial of their deceased brother.
\ coroner's jury has been empanneled as we
write, by Coroner BOIL, composed of the fol-
lowing Gentlemen:
Mr.. Dahl, S. Marvin, R. Marvin, F. E.
Collins, Z. II. Bissell, and c. Nugget.
The testimony adduced so far goes to show
that The deceased came to his death from a
blow received at the hands of one PELKER, and
that undoubtedly will be the verdict of the ju-
ry.
Drs. DAY, MORTON, GOODRICH, and MARSH,
are now engaged in making post mortem en-
animation of the deceased.
Mr.. H1cHcox leaves young wife, to whom
he has been married but short time.
