THE RELIEF COMMERCIAL number of
gentlemen met, on Monday evening last, at
the Insurance Office, in response to the invi-
taton given at the close Of the readings on
the preceding evening, for the purpose of
organizing permanent committee, whose
duty it shall be to disburse whatever funds
may be raised by subscription or otherwise,
including that realized by the readings on
Tuesday. F. A. Ellis, Esq, was appointed
President, and John Perkins, Esq, Secre
tary. The following gentlemen were Sc
lected as the permanent relief committee:
VIM. S. Evans, Esq, G. w. Cruikshank,
ESQ.,, and J. Perkins, Esq. P. H. Cleaver,
Esq, was elected Treasurer. An address

committee the names of destitute persons.

THE Juror AFoREsAID.-Unc Steve,
professional iuryman as some Others among
us are; in fact he IS a novice in the bust
ness, being citizen who always keeps as
far away as possible from court rooms.
This will explain why it was that the little
incident, which gave the Court and audi
ence so much fun day or two ago, oc-
cured. Uncle Steve's name was drawn
from the box as juror for the present term.
A few days ago he was sworn as one of the
panel to try case of attempt to kill. Dur
ing the progress of the trial the foreman of
the jury requested leave of the Court to
retire for a few moments The Court
granted his request, and also extended the
same privilege to other members. Uncle
Steve, like many good, honest inryman,
sat soberly in his chair, perfectly oblivious
as to what was going on around him, and
only aroused when he saw the coat tails of
the eleventh juror disappear behind the
closing door. He at once followed said
coat tails. In a few moments the Jurors
began returning to the Court room one by
one until eleven had resumed their seats
all but Uncle Steve The Court waited for
some time, and finally ordered him to be
called. This was done, but no response;
again and again was his named cried aloud
by the crer, but still he came not. The
Court then ordered out several bailitfs in
search of the missing juryman. After
lapse of about fifteen or twenty minutes
one of the bailiffs returned with the miss
ing man, and reported to the Court that he
found him in the jury room awaiting the
coming of the other jurors to make up
verdict in the case. which he supposed
when he saw his colleagues leaving the box,
had been closed and given to the jury.
