Grand Jurors not appearing others were
selected to fill their places. The Grand
Jury organized, Col. John Geary being

the new Clerk, G.. Lowenstein, ESQ. who
showed considerable familiarity with his
duties, he. giving the oath to the Jurors

Deputy Clerks. As we have already stated
there is an immense amount of business to
be done, and the term will be a long one.
