TIE Supreme Judicial Court opens this morn
ing in the court house in this city, with Judge
Danfo til ON the bench. The number of actions
on the civil docket is twelve hundred and forty, a
consider able increase over the dockets of preced-
ing years. The bad practice of neglecting jury
trials at the August term results in throwing too
much work into the October term. The term is
nece. sarily protracted into December, perhaps
later, an tecomes wearisome to all concerned.
The prospect of finding parties ready Immediately
after the preliminary call of the docket does not
appear promising, as several lawyers are absent
and some are used up in other labors. But the
machine will get to running smoothly by and by.
and we shall take note of the proceedings from
day to day for the benefit of our readers. new
grand jury is to be empanneled, but there are no
indications Of an unusual rush of business in thai
department. County Attorney Whitehouse closes
his official term with the present criminal docket
His intention is to dispose of it on the second

Clinton Locals.


Last Friday afternoon twelve year old son Of
Alexander Gerald of Clinton, was shot in the face
with pistol, at Clinton depot sixteen shot enter
ing, and the powder discoloring his face. The
boys story is that IN company with a Knox boy
after hunting with pistol for birds, they went into
box partly loaded with hay; and that the
Knox boy drew pistol from his pocket and point
ing it at the Gerald boys head asked if he woudn
like to be shot, to which Gerald replied, "No, |
would he for thousand dollars" would you
for two thousand dollars" No would MT for three
thousand" whereupon Knox rejoned 81 will
shoot you,' and instantly pulled the trigger. The
Knox boys story is that the pistol accidentally
went off while endeayoring to draw it from his
pocket.
The boy will probably recover. although his
face badly injured II thought at first that he
would loose his eye sight, but last account he could
see little out of one eye. The general opinion
pervading Clinton people is that the boy was &C
cidentay shot.

Boss Tweed.
A letter from the frigate Franklin, dated Vigo,
SPAIN September 9th, says Tweed is expected to
arrive IN this city about October 18th, but the
officers at the navy yard think it possible the
steamer may reach here by October 18th.
William Hunt sailed with Tweed, and will be
surrendered with him ON the arrival of the vessel
at quarantine.
The Franklin will proceed no farther than
quarantine until after the examination, when she
will sail for Norfaik, Va, after surrenderng her
prisoner.
Twecds escape from Cuba on the bark Car
mine was not as passenger, but in the disguise
of landsman, compelled to serve as deck
hand, and. bare footed bare legged and bare
armed, forced to wash down the decks. In this
disguise he discovered aud taken into custo-
dy in Vigo Bay. This harsh experience did not
seem in any way to have discouraged Tweed, or
impaired his health.
When placed on board the franklin, he was
given the most commodious and elegant quarters
