deayored to conceal the emotion it was evident
they felt, while the remainder of the men, as
their names were called, exhibited the most
lively interest.
After the names of the jurymen had been
called the clerk asked If they had agreed upoa
a verdict.
Foreman-''we have not"
The Court-Is there any prospect of agree
ment?
Foreman-No prospect al all.
The CouTt-Is the opinion of the foreman
that Of the other iurymen?
Another Juryman-It seems TO be so. So
far as | can see their seems to be no chance of
agreement.
The ourttJudge NELsoN)-If the Court
supposed there was any fair, reasonable prospect
of your coming to a verdict, it would be incln-
ed to direct you 10 return and consider the fact
further. But you have been out twenty hours,
and unless there Is a possbiIity-a probability
that you will agree, we are not inclined to
cause you to renew your consultation.
4 Juryman-There is no likelihood of an
agreement.
The Court-We discharge you from further
consideration of this case.
After pause, the United States District At
torney SMITH moved the case for trial again at

aWheu Greek meets Greek, tLen comes the
tug Of war; is an old saying and IS about be-

ly sprung up between the, Somerset Herald and

CAM organs OF their respective counties. The
Herald and Wig complained in long string

of the Judicial and Assembly Districts were
"sold', (which was quite true) and the Bedford

that wonderful "main strength and awkward
ness'' so peculiar 10 himself, strives to make 1t

cusing ,he inquirer man OF infdelity TO The

Householder. after having been men Der ot
the Convention which nominated him and
whilst keeping his name at the head Of his pa
