| A QUESTION concerning the authority to
appoint foreman of grand jury came up
recently before the judges of the courts of
Clinton County. The majority of the
judges decided that the grand jury has au-
thoriiy to appoint its own foreman. Judge
Wm. Dunn, Associate Judge of the courts
OF the county, gave an opinion that the
Sheriff alone has the power of making
this appointment. In support of his opin-
ion he presented a sketch of the history
and organization OF the English courts
from the time of the Saxon conquest in
England. In the first county courts, the
Sheriff, together with Bishop and Alder
man, presided. After noting the various
changes that ensued by the organization of
new courts and the distribution OF judicial
authority, he concludes with the remark
that when its present authority became
vested in the Court called the County
Court, the Sheriff-s duties before court
prevented his presiding on the grand jury,
and consequently he appointed foreman.
In this county it is customary for the
grand jury to he drawn first, and then a
selection of one gentleman 10 act as fore
man is mutually agreed upon. The gen
tlemen empowered to draw the jury inva-
riably select some person who is fully
capable to discharge the duties that are
likely to devolve on him. and, as else
where, the oath is administered to him as
foreman OF the Grand Jury.

WE are pleased TO learn that the Ger

are about securing. or perhaps we might
say have secured. the lot on the corner OF
Main Cross and Union streets, formerly oc-
cupied by the Lutheran church. with the
intent Of erecting thereon a new and com
modeous i,ouse Of worship. We consider
this the most eligible site for church in
the town. and the design of the house,
which has been shown to us, is'very beau
tiful. The congregation proposing to
erect this church is not a large one, but it
contains some generous givers, and the
commendable pride that desires a house of
worship comparable in location, comfort,
and beauty with those lately erected by
other denominations, will doubtless be an
incentive to all its members 10 make liberal
donations.
number of handsome church ediiices
have been erected in this borough and
IN other portions Of the county within the
past few years, and as nothing attes.s the
liberallty and refinement of a people
more than the number of these structures
we are, therefore, gratified at the determi-
nation of this congregation to build a
church creditable to themselves. and
worthy the cause to which it will be dedi-
Gated.
