since we noticed that the residence Of John
L. Brown, E:q., in the southern part of
the city, had been burglarlzed By some I'M
known person. On Monday last infor ma
ton was received that soma of the goods
we're believed to be in the house of color

had at one time been employed to cook for
the family. The case was given to City
Constable NcCabe, Sheriff r. NJ. May, and
District Constable Frank Monroe, who
worked it up, and arrested the nymph on
Tuesday. They found most of The missing
articles inc her domicil. A true bill has
been found against her by the grand jury

is among tbs probabilities of the early flu

The Wheel of Fortune.

The wheels for distributing the State
Fair prizes were on exhibition yesterday at
Dortch q Haddox's drug store and attrac-
ted good deal Of attention from those
passing by. There were numerous con-
lectures as to how the prizes were to be
distributed. We learn from one of the Of
fcials that the manner of distributing will
be as follows: A duplicate number, on a
small card. of every ticket sold ranging
from to $1,000, provided that number OF
tickets are sold, will be placed in the large
wheel, ard each prize will be put in sealed
box about the size and shape of hair pin
box, 5SS in all, and put into the small wheel,
and after being well mixed by turning the
wheels, blind child will draw q number
from the large wheel, and a child will then
draw box from the small wheel, and the
prize thus drawn will belong to the number
drawn Immediately before it, and the child
will draw another number from the large
wheel and prize will then be drawn from
the small wheel which will belong TO that
number, and so on until the 538 prizes are
drawn. The distribution will be made az

Jury Fees ana Certiac ates.

1t is common habit with many persons
entitled to jury fees for services rendered, to
have their certificate issued every day while
in attendance, Few Of them think it costs
fifteen cents to have a certificate issued,
making total cost Of several hundred dol
lars, when by waiting and drawing all on
one certificate the amount would be only
fifteen cents. In addition to this the coun-
W becomes flooded with jury rtifcates
which are showed and then presented for
payment by the party into whose possess
sion they have come. For the benefit of
those entitled to compensation as Jurors,
We append two sections of the code.
'Section 4,035. Jurors must prove under
oath at the term Of the court at which they
serve, and before the clerk of said court, be
feTriages or tolls necessarily incurred in 60
ing to or returning from their place of res
idence to the Courthouse"
From this it is seen the time for the Juror
to prove his claim is at the term be serves.
BY virtue OF tue other section, 4036, "the
Clerk Of the Court shall when the jury is
discharged make out ard certify list of
the jury, with the number of days they
have respectively served, and the amount
due to each aud deliver the same TO the
Clerk of the County Court, who shall re-
cord in be revenue docket, and the Judge
or Chairman of the County Court shall
issue separate warrants TO the jurors for
the amount due TO each of them" It is
seen that the custom hitherto prevailing
relative to jury-certiticates is not sanction
ed BY good law. During the sitting Of the
County, Criminal, Circuit and Law Courts,
it has been tie custom Certainly not the
law to issue every Saturday from forty
to fifty, and sometimes more jury-certif-
Gates, each costing fifteen cents and foot
ing upa considerable total which the tax
payers must liquidate. Say a Juror is en-
titled to twelve dollars and takes out as
many certificates, each for one dollar; in
the end he will have cost the county 81 so,
which lie should not have incurred, by
drawing altogether but fifteen cents, dit
ference of $I65. Take twelve jurors who
draw this often and the illegal difference
will be startling.
