The Williamsport Republica. says;
"When the County Commissioners OF the
State were in Williamsport few days ago
they adopted resolutions fayoring the
abolition of tie Office Of Jury Commits
sioner, and providing for the selection OF
iuries by County Commissioners and
Judges Of the court. This work Of the
Commissioners seems to meet with gen.
eral approval, The opinion seems to be
that since the change in the election ol
County Commissioners, Jury Commission
ers are of no more use than fifth whee
would b. to farmers wagon. The mel
usually elected as Jury Commissioner
have little or no acquaintance with tn
people throughout the county, while tn
County Commissioners acquire large &C
quaintance by assoclating in business wit
constables, assessors, collectors and Jurors
and are therefore doubly qualified for tn
duty.

little girls marched upon the platform,
each carrying our national emblem, sing
ifig favorile national air, when all Joined
in the song OF "The Red, White and Blue
waving their flags. The scene was i'm.
pressing and typi6ed peace on earth, good
will to men, and the relation of mankind
that though we are of different nationals
ties, yet are we brethren, tied in the bonc
of common sympathy, bound to one des
tiny-the civilization and christianizatior
of the world.
After these exercises the Peak Sisters
