Wheibler out of soApoct to the crier or interess fn the proceed- inge may nover be determined, but as tonea faded, a deop stillness fell upon the audionce, and overy oyo was bent upon the Judge. [y voico that sounded protty much as theo back of an indictmont Jooks, tha Court ordored a call of TiE PETIT JUDY. ‘This was & mattor of some difficulty, and as tho gentleman to whom tho duty was intrusted was compelled to road the bandwriling of somo othier man, psme not learned, he naturally got the namos of the jurors all wrong. and waa cor- rocted from differont parts of the room in a variety of tones, which, though enlveniog to tho procoodings, ' did not seem to satisfy the suditory.
