The Latest Ghost story.

RICHMOND, Janusry Esd. lSTl.-A strange story is
current in certain circles here. About two years ago
Mr.. A. married. and in due tine became a father but
his wife died when the child was but few months
cid. On her death-bed she exhibited intense anxiety
to the fate Of the little one she was to leave behind
her. and earnestly besought her husband to eonade
it aer her death to the care Of enc Of her relatives
He promised, and did for awhile let the child s,ay in
charge Of the person whom the mother designated
few weeks ago. however. Mr. A. married again.
and at once reclaimed the child who as yet had never
learned TO speak word and was unable even to
crawl. One day ;hO child was LEFT alone for few
moments in its stepmoiher's bedroom lying in a crib
cradle, some distance from the bed When Mrs.
A. returned she amazed to see the child smiling
and growing upon the middle Of the bed. and in her
astonishment. involuntarily asked
"Who put yen there babyg'
Mammal distinctly responded the child that
had never before spoken a word.
On a strict enquiry throughout the household, it
found that none Of the family had been in the
room during Mrs A brief absence from it, This,
it Is solemnly averred was but the beginning Of a
series Of spiritual visitatiOus from the dead mother
Whenever the child was len alone it could be heard
to laugh and as if delighted BY the fondlines
and eadcarents Of one. and on these occasions
it was frequently found to have changed its Dress
position, etc, in manner quite beyond its own IN
aided capacity. Finally. the account is. the first
Mrs. A. appeared night recently at the bedside
Of Mr.. A. and his second wife and earnestly entreat
ed that her darling should be restored to the relative
whom she had indicated the guardian Of her child
on her death-bed The apparition, which, it is de
elared, distinctly and heard BY both Mr. A.
and his wife. promised to haunt then no more if her
wish was complied with. Both Mr.. A. and his wife
were too much aWe-stricken to reply, but the next
day the child was carried back as directed BY the
ghostly visitaHt. Such is the story as seriously
vouehed BY the principal parties concerned. who sre

TRIAL By JuEY.-The word jury denotes, in short
institution commonly known and so saeredly
regarded a sort Of palladium Of British liberty
namely, trial by jury-that shall say a Werd or
trniug what Is known Of its origin among Us
Perhaps should rather say that our remarks would
take the form Of speculation about the origin and
growth of trial by jury, for Of the early history Of
this method Of deciding disputed questions Of fact
veTy little is known accurately. In our research we
get into the aThaek ages Of fog and mist where
history grOpes her way with altering and uncertain
step. There is in fact, means Of discovering when
trial by jury began in England. Juries sat to try
cases in Henry lis time. Now what were Henry
rs juries like3 1t is a matter Of the purest con-
lecture; we cannot say, and We cannot ind out The
growth Of trial by jury has probably been gradual
process It's origin VAS there little room to doubt
follows; In the early times Of our own history
small number Of lived together; they constituted
a tithing, a larger number hundred. Now these
names have no sensible meaning. if We regard their
ancient meaning. They denote merely the limits Of
typographical boundaries. the space within those lin
its. Then, they really meant association Of ten
families in a tithing, a hundred families in a nun
dred. man Committed a crime in hundred, say
He wishes to purge himself from his imputed guilt
His jury, b. whom be tried were the men Of bis
own hundred. They knew every act Of his life-his
incoming, his out going his innocence or bis guilt
they constituted the jury By which he vas tried ard
the peculiarly Of their case was that they tried the
cause, having 8 complete previous knowledge Of al
the facts. Herein lies chief difference between
ancient and cur modern jury. While the jurors
Of early times possessed full knowledge II all the
facts Of the case, the modern twelve good men

hearing that eviienee they tell the judge what they
think about IT, 1t has not been for 50 very long
period that the fear Of packed jury has ceased in
England and in the last century a celebrated judge
said it Of the highest feas Of constitutional
government to get twelve honest men into jury-box
1t is thus established that modern juror is the very
opposite Of the old jurymau for the one entered up
On a trial, in al eases, With a knoEledgs

worcester AId for Chicago.

Our people have entered upon the good, prac-
teal Christian work of helping the distressed
population of Chicago in good earnest Some
of our most substantial citizens have charge OF
the labor of collecting cash subscriptions and
Worcester is responding generously. Next to
money the mayor OF Chicago says that blankets
and clothing will be most thankfully received.
Acting on this information our citizens will
forward clothing, as well as money.
At the Peoples club rooms at Briney
hall a large amount of clothing was
received yesterday, most Of it new or near
ly SO, and seven hundred dollars worth was for
wardcd by express last night. More will be
sent to-day. But the greatest amount was re-
ceiycd at the depot established by the mayor, at
Clark & Sawyer's old store, in Flagg's block.
Bundles, packages and boxes were delivered
heresall day, faster than they could be packed.
Mr.. Alfred Parker has charge here, and
packs the goods in way to facilitate
distribution at Chicago, putting the mems, wo-
mems and children's goods in boxes by them
selves and labelling them accordingly. One of
the best packages received yesterday was a box
Of new clothing, valued at $3.50, sent in by D.
II. Eames. Bundles will he sent for if donors will
give directions to Mr.. Parker 1t is seldom that
men and women are called upon to give in so
good cause, therefore let the contributions of
cash and clothing be generous.
In our report OF subscriptions made at the
meeting at Mechanics hall, a few names were
omitted, and alc given below, together with the
new subscriptions that were handed in to the
treasurer yesterday. 1t will be seen that the
Worcester cash contribution already exceeds
81 600.

BosToN, Oct. IA special 10 the Journal
says the insurance companies of Providence
affected by the Chicago fire are: The Washing

lean. Their condition this afternoon is as fol-
lows: The Washington has an insurance there
of S675,00O and assets of $4,000. They adj
nit that they are ruined. The American com.
pany, calling their insurance there a total loss,
will use up their capital and surplus, sure. The
Hope, on the same basis, can pay ninety cents
on dollar. The Atlantic is not so hopeful.
The Atlantic and Washington are cancelline
policies. The Roger Williams have Just held a
directors meeting, and, calling their Chicago
insurance total loss felt confident of paying in
full and having surplus which they propose
to increase by additional capital, and continue
business The Washington will surely reor-
ganize, OF the other prominent insurance com
