"A cunning juryman addressed the clerk of the court when administering the oath, saying : 'Speak up; 1 cannot hear what you say.' 'Stop; are you deal V asked the Judge. Yes, of one ear.'

The Philadelphia Timet in speaking of the sentence of Spieae, for extorting an illecal fee from a Harrisburg woman, of which mention was made last week, says Col. McMichael made an appeal to the Court for anew trial, which was refused. In pass ing sentence, Judge Cadwalader said he would administer the penalty of the law solely with reference to the extortion over the legal fee of $25, and not take into con deration the embezzlement or breach of trust, as those matters were not properly before him. Spiese was sentenced to eight months in the Eastern Penitentiary. The Horrisbunr Telecraph says : A cor respondent writing from Shippensburg con plains of the way the residents of the an cient borouzh were treated by a man who repaired old hats : "About ten days or two weeks sgo a man by the name of Taylor came to our town and gathered up a lot of silk hats, and took them to Cbambersbnrg I to repair and failed to return mine, and since have heard nothing of his whereabouts, I send you this, asking you to bring th scoundrel before the people as a rascal. Please lot other papers copy. I will obluy any man with $1 for information as to his whereabouts." Thon shalt not swear," is the Divine injunction, and the Divine command has been framed into human law in this State, aud is expressed thus i If any person of the age of sixteen or upwards shall pro, fanely curse or swear by the name of God Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost, any per son so offending, being thereof convicted shall forfeit and pay the sum of sixty-seven cents for every such profane enrse or oath. etc., and further, any person of the age of sixteen years and upwards who shall curse or swear by any other name or thing, shall forfeit or pay the sum of forty cents for every snch curse or oath ; and for any ne- gleet to pay, be or she shall be committed to the house of correction of the proper I couuty, uot exceeding twenty-four hours I, Sslin Ts .aTlsTa a 1 i John Peters, who was taken away from the jail in this place, on Thursday, by Officer Meyers, of Washington, D. C, to be tried at WUlUmaport, in the United 8 tates Court, on a charge of robbing the Post-office in this place, made an effort to escape, just as the cars were starting from Montanda, a station on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, opposite LewLsburg, Union county. The prisoner was seated at the window aide of the seat in the cars. Suddenly, at the place above designated, he sprang out of the window to the ground. Meyers had the presence of mind to pull the rope attached to the locomotive bell, the ringing of which stopped the train, and gave the officer a chance to get off and give pursuit, which was speedily done, and by the aid of men in a field the prisoner was again secured. He bad released one of his hands from the cuff, and when the officer came np he as saulted Meyers with the swinging cnfT, but inflicted no injury excepting a couple of slight bruises on one leg. He was afey landed among the authority at Williams port. On the cars he told the officer that arrangements had been made to take him cut of the Miffiintown jail, and his removal therefrom was just in time to prevent his escape. Countrymen who sometimes visit cities, occasionally become the victims of mis placed confidence. Being free to recognize all who are friendly, they are good prey for the "confidence game" men, who ply their arts as often as they can. We here pub lish a case in point, as reported in the North Jl mericau of June 5: "Last evening Mr. H. Hopkins, of Burlington, Iowa, while strolling along Chestnut street, was met by an individual well known in the city, who gave the name of C J. Hope. They visited number of drinking saloons together, and about 10 o'clock Mr. Hopkins was consid erably uuder the influence of liquor. Then, at Hope's request, the two proceeded to the Merchants' Hotel, Fourth street helow Arch, where they registered. Hope added to his own name Burlington, Iowa." He asked for a room together, and the clerk assigned them to "55." This was shortly before 11 o'clock. They immediately re tired to the room which had been assigned them, after Hopkins had paid for both. A few minntes after 12 o'clock Hope came down stairs alone, and told the clerk that is friend was sick, and that he was going to a drug-store to get some medicine for him. He then passed out, and after a word or two with the colored orter, who was standing on the sidewalk, passed down Fourth street. He had hardly left before Mr. Hopkins came down stairs, partially undressed, and told the clerk that Hope had robbed him of $500. The clerk at once told Rom. the porter, to follow Hope, which he did, but returned soon after, stating that he had lost sight of him. Hopkins then handed the clerk a $500 bill, and asked him to keep it iu the safe until the next morn ing. The police were informed of the af fair, but up' to half-past two o'clock this morning, had not succeeded in arresting Hope. As he is well known, it will hard ly be long before he is captured, unless he can get away from the city. Hopkins never saw him before last night. Poor House Meeting. Directors of the Poor fiom, a number of the townships in the couuty, assembled in convention iu the Court House in this bor ough at 2 o'clock p. m., on the 4th inst., to consider the feasibility of establishing a Foor House for Juniata :ounty. D. P. Wickersham was elected president, and William Graham secretary of the conven tion. Alter discussion lor and against the establishment of a Poor House, by Judge Burchfield, H. H. Bruboker, J. F. G. Long, and others, a committee, consisting of udge Burchfield, Elios Urning and Sam uel Showers, were appointed to confer with the County Commissioners in regard to the purchase ot a suitable farm and appurte nances lor the purpose of establishing a Poor House. THE BED FLAG, The red flog was displayed most conspic uously on Bridge street last week, and even to-day it may be seen. If such a display bad been made of it when King William was shot at and wounded some days ago, in Berlin, it would have lead to most serious results to the people who bung it out to flutter in the breeze. The red fl ig ts the flag of the Commune, but the red tl.g dis played in this town is not the red flog of the Commune ; it is an auction flat, and you can see it at the Palace Building, in which T.

CONGRESS. itor Sentinel and Republican Vur Sir, The time is approaching when the Re publicans of this Congressional district must select a candidate for Congress. With out disparagement to any gentlemen of the district, we believe that Juniata county can present a candidate the peer of any gentle man likely to be named, in point of ability and peisonal integrity, and possessing all the elements of political popularity that may tie claimed for the most popular. Per mit us, then, Mr. Editor, to name Locts E. Atkuisos, Esq., of Mdflintowu, as a candi date for nomination for Congress, snbj-ict to the rules aud regulations of the Repub lican party. RxriBLicass or MirrusTows. DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Editor Sentinel and Republican Dear S ir, There seems to be an uncommon stir among the Democratic brethren in regard to the nomination of a candidate for District At torney, and while efforts and counter efforts have been going on in the camp of the Dem ocracy, our camp has been as silent on the question of Attorneyship ss if no such an important office is to be elected. I do be lieve that we should not be so indifferent as to the Attorneyship, and therefore 1 nominate J- S. Absold, Esq., of Richfield, as a candidate lor the office of District At torney, smj-ct to the rules for the govern ment of the Republican party. Mr. Arnold is a young man ot energy, and speaks flu ently in both the German and English lan guages. MONROE. COUNTY COMMISSIONER. Eiitor Sentinel and Republican Dear Sir, As the time is approaching when the Re publican voters of the county will be called upon to select some one of their number to represent them in the Board of Connty Commissioners, and as it 13 very desirable to have in this position ne in whom the citizens of the county, irrespective ot par ty, can place the fullest conUdence, we take Dleasure in bringing forward the name of Capt. Lewis Degas, of Fayette township. The Captain needs no recommendation to put him in favor with the party. His loyalty to his country in the time of her peril, bis fidelity to the party, his fitness for the posi tion, are recommendations sufficient to secure his election. Fayette, therefore, presents him as her choice, believing that his selection will be a merited compliment to a worthv citizen. FAYETTE. COCNtY COMMISSIONER. Editor Sentinel and Republican Dear Sir, It mav seem a little early in the campaign to make announcement ot candidates for office, but taking the nominations for Stat officers as a standard to be governed by, the seeming earliness d:sappears, and the fact reveals itself that now is as good a time as any to announce candidates for office, Therefore it is in order to nominate a can didate for County Commissioner, and I nom inate J.
