A murder trial was in progress in Blooms
burg, Pa, recently, and the jury attended
church one Sunday. The preacher took for
his te2t, at is John, the Baptist, whom l
beheaded." When the jury appeared in
their box next day, counsel for the defence
offered motion asking for the discharge OF
the jury. alleging that the sermon had dis
cussed the subject OF murder in all its bear
ings, and was calculated to prejudice them
against the accused. The prosecution
showed that the sermon was first written
and delivered in 1862 and had no reference
to the pending case. The jury were re-
tanned. Chicago Times. ata5.
We once knew a jury to be discharged
because some of it's members, going home
to spend the night with the plaintiff, re-
ceived cent each from him in the shape Of
tolls paid at a turnpike gate. sszi 2f1s3

! to show the differences between the returns
OF the supervisors and the, commissioners,
and to show upon what evidence thereturns
were rejected. For instance, in the case
under examination: Here is a case where a
parish had been rejected upon afidavits
sworn out nearly month after tile returns
had been signed by the election officers.
Certainly these returns had been rejected
upon evidence which would not have
been considered in his county. There is
nothing to impeach the polls thrown out.
After some interchange of views between
the members Of the committee and counsel,
it was agreed, for the purpose OF facili-
tating the examination, all the papers con-
nected with the rejected returns should be
referred to the counsel-AIessrs. Burke and
Cavanac on behalf OF the Democratic side,.
and Messrs. Davis and Abel for the Re-;
publicans-these gentlemen to make sche-
dule OF the papers pertaining to each par,
ish, including the consolidated statements
OF the supervisors OF registration, the state
ments of commissioners OF election, the
original tally-sheet, the protests and accom-
panying afidaVits to be submitted to the
committee. This work will probably occu-
by these gentlemen at least couple OF days,
pending which the committee will not be
likely to hold any session. ~ = s9
