THE DAVIS TRIAL.

We COPY as follows from the Chronicle OF
last evening:
When the Court opened this morning i'll the
Davis case the defense had seven challenges
to exhaust and the prosecution three.
John Noble, the first juror drawn, appeared
to have no special opinions on any subject,
and was passed by both parties. The defense
then began to exercise the right to challenge
peremptorily, and dismissed Jonathan from
the box.
Henry Riley was next drawn, andwas chal-
lenged and excused for having fixed opinions
upon the killing. Eli johnson was then ef-
amined and passed. This was the twelfth
Juror; but he was Immediately excused by the
prosecution. The selecting then went on,
and men were eXamiqed and retained by one
side only to he challenged and excused by the
other. While these examinations were in
progress Davis, the defendant, who sat at a
desk with his counsel, made careful notes of
the replies of the jurors under examination,
and from the industry he displayed in keeping
his record, he might have been mistaken for
one of the counsel instead of the man on irial.
Some Of the jurors gave curious replies
when examined, and an occasional ripple Of
laughter would 90 over the courtroom, which
was filed with spectators. One juror when
asked as to his nationality said that he was
IAN American, born in the old country, at
which reply even the features of the Judge
relaxed.
When NJ. Howard was called he proved to
he colored man who keeps a saloon at No.
81 North street He had no preiudices,
didn't know Davis, had never seen Ash, had
not read any newspaper account of the killing
and had 10 scruples against hanging man.
challenge and after short consultation the
State waived its right to its last challenge.
1t was noon when the jury were selected,
and after being sworn in the charge was read
to them by the clerk and the defendant
pleaded not guilty.
The following are the names of the jurors;
L. E. Lee, Robert Walsh Fred Marone
NJ. Howard D. Knapp, A. D. Bullard r.
Moore, Patrick Fields, c. w. Saunders, Geo.
Smith, Geo Holmes, and C. C. Smith.
After the charge was read the prosecution
asked for recess, that they might examine

by the County Surveyor The Court refused
to grant the recess, and Hon. VIM WOODBURY.
made the opening statement, detailing the
attending the killing, which
was very nearly those related in the
Chronicle at the time. Mr.. WOODBURY. drifted
into an argument which was objected to by
defense His opening statement was quite
short, he simply telling the jury that the
expected to prove that Davis fired
four shots into Ash, at the time unarmed.
The defense declined to make any state
ment, except that they expected to prove the
innocence of the accused beyond a doubt
This remark was objected to by General Kit
trell, and the defense then waived any further
opening, and a recess was taken until 80

THE PARISH GUIDE FOR EPIPHANY has been
laid upon our desk. 1t is very interesting
number of part of an extract from a most
beautiful sermon by one of the brothers New
man Rev j. II. Newman of the establish
English church and brother of the celebrated
Roman prelate), we reproduce the following,
by way of explanation ''The Epiphany is a
season especially set apart for adoring the
Glory of Christ. The word may be taken to
mean the manifestation of His glory, and
leads us to the contemplation of Him as
king upon His throne in the midst of His
court. with his servants around Him, and His
guards in attendance. At Christmas we COM
memorate His grace; and in Lent His temp
tations, and on Good Friday His sutferngs
and death; and on Easter Day His victory;
and on Holy Thursday His return to His
Father; and in Advent we anticipate His
second coming. And IN all Of these seasons
He does something or suffers something; but
in the Epiphany and the weeks after 1t, we
celebrate Him, not as on His field of battle
in His solitary retreat, but as an august
and glorious king; we view Him as the object
Of our worship. Then only, during His
whole earthly history, did he fulfill the type
OF Solomon, and held (as l may say a court,
and received the homage of His subjects;
namely, when He was an infant. His throne
was His undefled mothers arms; His cham
Der of state was cottage or cave; the wor-
shippers were the wise men of the East, and
they brought Him presents, gold, frank
incense and myrrh.

niceish nurse at our own local pest house per

the matter of the disposal of some infected
bed clothing, as to cause the passing of a bill
the first section of which we reproduce;

Court trying such offender, may also include

1t seems to us that, at least, this is pre-
cautionary measure against which no reason
able person-or grief-should object.
SUDDEN DEATH. -Isaac Warren the well
