OF the Grand Jury, now In session. charged, be.
fore Judge Carter by Assistant Prosecuting Attor.
ney Kerr, yesterday afternoon, with improper con.
duct, and was challenged for cause The charge was
that he had solicited Mr.. p. Mohr, prosecuting
witness against Jacob Green, accused OF grand lar.
ceny to leave the city-telling him that all expenses
he should be at even to the amount of 81 OO0 would
be paid. 1t was also shown that Adler had made ap.
pication to the Deputy Sheriff and Clerk of the
Court to be placed on the Grand Jury, and that he
had stated to some of his brother Jurors that the
prosecution against Green WAS malicious
Judge Carter said that the conduct of this Graud
Juror eyinced Ignorance, or what worse corrup-
ton which often flowed from ignorance. BY his
conduct he had also committeda fagrant contempt
OF Court. He should, of course, be dismissed from
the Grand Jury, and pure man summoned In hi:
place: For the contempt he was sentenced to twenty
days imprisonment in the County Jail; but on appli
cation OF Judge Spooner the sentence Of imprison.
ment was permitted to remain open until the follow

0BITUARY,-Miss Eliza OReilly, most es-
Unable and excellent lady, for some years en-
gagged in this city as school teacher, who
left bere last autumn for her home in Ireland
where she had many influential relatives and
friends, we deeply regret to hear, died a shor,
time after her arrival in that country. Though
she might have lived in ease and luxury il
her native land, she quilted it to seek her OWE
fortune in the New World, and fell victim tc
her love of independence; as the intensity o.
our American summers caused the illness thai
at last proved fatal.
A most worthy and benevolent lady, pos
sessed of fine mind and generous heart, she
lost no opportunity to benefit by her counsel
or her charity, all who were within her reach.
She gained many friends in our city, who will
be deeply panied to hear of her death at the
very time she had reached homo where full
compensation would have been granted for all
the trials and privations she had endured
Her struggle for Independence was noble, but
its severity cost her her life at the period when
life began to be dear to her again.

twenty-seven cases yesterday morning, ol
which the following were the most important:
A woman named Matilda Heron, who was

and sentenced to the County Jail for term
of three months.

single charge Of digging up the bowldered
pavement on Western-row, was dismissed upon
the payment of S. and costs.
olothier, named Elias Deloune, was
charged wich committing an assault upon a
cOlored man, named Pate. It appears that
Pate went into his establishment and selected
coat and hat, which he wished laid aside
for him, intending to call and pay for them at
another time. Deloune insisted that heshould
pay for them at once but this he was unable
TO do, as he had not money enough, but be
said he would pay for the hat, the price OF
which was 81 25. After the clothier received
the money, be refused to let the purchaser
have the hat until he had paid for the coat
whereupon harsh words arose and blows fol
lowed, causing the arrest Of Deloune. he
was fined SIS and costs, aud ordered to return
Pate the money he had given for the hat.
