this point had been passed the prices remained sta

He came to New York few years ago dilapidated

election closed. With reward for this service he
bought IA new suit OF clothes and opened small

A STRANGE MEETING.

The Cincinnati Commcrciat of November 1st tells
the following story:
strange and very unpleasant meeting TOOK place
at the court house yesterday afternoon. The grand
jury had been duly lmpaneed and formally charged
by Judge Force, and the twelve learned men had re-
tired with becoming soemnity to be saturated With
amazing facts concerning the iniqujty Of this popu-
lous and thrifty county, when one OF the grave III
quisitors stepped up to colleague, whose placid lea
lures he had been reectvey gazing upon for several
minutes, and gravely inquired OF him: "Wnat Dusl-
ness have YOU serving upon this jury?' Mr. G., the
gentleman addressed, laconcaly replied that he was

A RoUGH TIME.-A Frenchman tells good story
before the Louis courts. In April last he shipped
as deck hand a Missouri steamboat bound for
the Rocky Mountains, but as he did his work bung-
linCly the mate kicked and beat him, knocked his
teeth out. and at last put him ashore on sandbar,
without food There the Indians found him and car
ried him of to their camp, where they stripped him
of clothing, tied his hands together, and hung him
over slow fire. Before he quite done nice
young squaw cut him down and gave him an apron,
in which attire he escaped and made his way to St
Louis and now for $l96 wages from the steam
