Trouble About A Jury Draw-
lay.
During the days ot Rebellion, citizens of
this Commouwealth became dissatistied
with the manner of the draw ing of Jurors, to
try cases ot dispute that were carried to
Court lor settlement. They alleged that in
Democratic counties, whrra democratic
county commissioners had control of the
jury wheel that tbe turies wereaiways pack
ed with democrats, snd in counties where
Republican coumy commissi mers controll
ed the wheel tbe juries wore pe;kei with re
publicans, and in that way, with a one sid
ed jury, there was always danger of a po
litical verdict being rendered insteul of a
verdict of justice in accordance with tbe
merits aud evideuce ol the case in dispute
between parlies before Court.
A BIXIOT. J
To provide a remedy for such injustice
nnder the forms of Isw, it was deemed beat
to take the drawing of juriea out of the
hands of County Commissioners, therelore,
a law was passed by the Legislature in 1867,
that provides lor the election, by a popular
vote, of two J ury Commissioners, one com
missioner from each of the two dominant
partiea, whose duty shall be to make a hat
of citizens place them in tbe jury wheel at
a stated time, and at another stated time
draw tbe juries for the several courts from
the wheel.
From the passage of tbe act to this ti me.
at regularly stated lawlul time a Democrat
ic and Republican Jury Commissioner bas
been el xuxX in Juuiata county.
CIDXE SBAL AMD LOCK.
The jury commissioners at such time as
is prescribed by law fid the jury wheel. The
wbeel ia sealed end is locked, aud tue key
of the wheel is kept by tbe sheuS of the
county. At regularly stated times the jury
commissioners are required to go to the seat
ol justice and there take charge of tbe wheel
The sheriff unlocks it, the seal is re-moved
and a jury is drawn.
Last Wednesday, March 18, 1885, was tbe
day required by law lor ibe jury commis
sioners to meet at the seat ot justice in this
county, iu the Court House, at MiQiintown
and draw a jury lor April term of Court.
I WBICU BOOM
The law does not st te in which of the
rooms "v files in the Court House the
drawing of the jury shall take place. If a
hair splitting construction be placed on the
term, "at the seat of justice," in all proba
bility the jury would have to be drawa in
the Court room ir front of tbe Judge's seat
William Milliker. and J. Kelley Patterson,
both worthy citizens of Tuscarora valley are
the Jnry Commissioners for Juniata county ,
and on the dste mentionel above they ap
peared at the Court House to draw th ju
ry for Ihe April term or Court, 1885. The
jury wheel h id been placed in the room of
the County Treasurer for safe keeping. Pre
vious juriea bad been drawn In tue office of
the County Commissioners. On this occasion
however, the jury commissioners determin
ed not to draw the jury in the room or of
fice of the connty coiUTlissioners.
tbs icirtiivs.
The jury commissioners placed their
wbeel in the office or room of the Register
and Recorder snd appointed 9. B. Caveny,
tbe Register snd Recorder their clerk. Tbey
were sworn under the law by, Prothonota
ry T. II. Memminger. Sheriff Shivery wis
present with tbe key of tbe wbeel to unlock
the wbeel, snd the seal wss re-moved, and
the jury wss drawn. The wheel was re-sealed
and was re-looked by the Sheriff as pre
scribed by l iw, and thi wheel was again
placed in the office of
tbi coruTT Ttratcata.
S. B. Cavenr. tbe clerk of the Jnry Com
missioners certi fkd the list of j urors an d
placed the sea I of his office on it, and sent
tbe list to tbe office of the County ComaiiS'
sioners. Tbe Countv t.'mini sinners tin
der sn on-repealed clause ol the art nf As
sembly of 1834, are required to make out
in alphabetical order, two lists ol the names
of the persons drswn ss jurors, by tbe Jnry
Commissioners, to serve as grand, petit or
special jurors, and one of the sa-d lists they
shall deliver to the Sheriff of the county,
snd Ibe other to the Prothonotory, or clerk
of the proper court, tu be set up by them
in the respective offives for the inspection
of all persons concerned. The County Com
missioner never themselves mike ont the
tbe two lists, but it is done by their cle-k,
and he has in the past been paid $2t) for
the work.
Bircazo tbe list or Jciobs.
S. B. London, clerk lor tbe County Com
missioners, refused to accept the list tbat
S. B. Caveny, clerk for the Jury Commiss
ioners certified to the County Commission
ers office, though it il plainly bis duty or
the duty of the Connty Commissioners
he was there in their place to nuke out in
alphabetical order two lis's of the naro-s
ol the persons drswn by tbe jury commiss
ioners, to serve as grand, petit, or special
jurors, and one of fbe said lists, the countv
commissioners shsll deliver to the sheriff
of tbe connty and Ibe other to the Prothon
ta ry or clerk ol tbe proper court to be set
np by Ibem in the respective offices for the
inspection of all persons concerned.
The clerc fur Ibe county commissioners
refused to receive tbe list of jurors from
tbe clerk of the jury commissioners and
make out tbe two lists as above stated tbat
the county commissioners are required by
law to make out and set spirt to the nse
specified in the law.
Tbe clerk to the connty commissioners
refused the list ot jurors, be says, because
be believed that the jury commissioners
sbonld hsve drawn the jury in tbe office of
the Connty Commissioners and that be as
clerk ol the Couuty commissioners should
have been clerk to tbe jury commissioners
and been present at tbe drawing of the jury.
tbe BErcsax
of the commissioners' clerk to receive the
jury list from ibe bands ot tbe clerk of the
jury commissioners stopped the whole pro
ceedings. No list could be placed as re
quired by law in the hands of the Sheriff,
and no Hat con Id be placed In the office of
the Prothonotary. What was to be done
In this state of Insubordination t It was
determined that the sheriff should go
TO BLOOM riSLD
and speak with the Judge. The pilgrimage
was made, and if it bad to be done again.
it would not be made. When the Sher in-
returned it was soon understood that to
correct the insnbordin ation in the commis
sioners office and render the certification
of the list of jurors drawn doubly secure
waa advised that both the iurv commisa
loners certify with their clerk to the list of
Jurors as drawn by them.

ril asb KcrcBLiCAX, and as I pen these
lines, many iucidents of the past return to
my mind, pertaining to tbe career of one
ol Jui.iata's noblest sons. On Ihe moruing
of tbe 11th itist., the intelligence waa Bash
ed through our comniuuity. that one of our
leaders in the cause of education, one who
had ihe golden key ol knowledge within his
reach, and an honorable member of tbe
teaching prolession, bad on the previous
evening between, the hours of 7 and 8 o'
clock, passed Irom this stage of action into
the spirit world. Shocking as it may seem
tbe name must come to the public. It is
Adam Wilt. He was employed by the di
rectors of Greenwood township, in teachiug
tbe "Wilt" school. Up to tbe 4th inst.,
be bad been in good health, aud engaged
in teaching, but toward evening ot the
above day, he fell unwell sod became what
is calltd by our people, "flighty ." Tbe
nt xt day not being able to attend to bis
woi k in tue school room be sent his son
instead. This wss I'bursd.iy, aud ou Sat
urday disease bi gnu to show its effects on
its victim and bn.uglit Liiu down to auch a
state, thai medical aid waa summoned, but
ot no avail, bis case was that ol "pneumon
ia," and at tbe time herein stated, he waa
a corpse. Sad news indeed! Who could
believe it I Yet il waa only too true. A
short time before bia death, he told one ol
bis scholars, "be would never leach them
any more." How niarvelously true. The
mess ige came and he must go, but bis
name will live lung on tbe annals of Junia
ta history. .Uui language shortly betoie
bis death, ic tegard to his spiritual happi
ness gives prool that he is at rest in the no
ble array ol malty is aud the just made per
fect, in .the eternal adoration ol the living
Uod. W ii b hi In, "ibis is tue end of earth"
He sleeps Ibe sleep that knows no waking.
He is gone, and forever. When a great
man fails ihe people weep. The link that
bound him to ns, has been suddenly snap
ped. Tbe lips from which flowed those
living truths, and undeniable tacts are clos
ed in death. Yes, death has been among
os, and be bas kuocked audibly at the pal
ace oi our towosbip. Not at the humble
college of seme ULkuown, ignoble peasant,
but at one ot our must worthy citizens. He
baa cluveu down his victim in Ihe midst ol
plenty, and taking him as a spoil, for virtue
and learning snd truth. How often hive
we crowded around him to listen to Ihe
counsels ol wisdom as Ibey lell from the
lips oi our honored dead, we can all remem
ber the lime lor it waa but a short lime ago.
But what a change! How wonderful aud
suddm ! That loiui is no more, but is cloa
ed by the "sheet ol death. Though our
Iriend is gone, be bas made bimaella name
and bis fame is known all over ours, ami
adjoining counties, and will not soon be
lorgotteu by the people. May tbe example
ol bis lile be followed, and at the Bound of
the trumpet be will rise among the spirits
ot ihe just, m the adoration of the "Most
High." We will niisa hita in the proless
ion. No more will be sppear before ns in
our Literary Society, of which be was an
ardent worker and Useful member some
years ago. Every teacher In the county
knew bim, I presume, snd have learned to
kuow bim to be a kind, generous, snd char
itable christian. Why such an honorable
man abould be taken as a spoil, is not for
ns to tell. His ways to us, are mysterious
and full of wisdom. But such is lite, in the
midst of lite we sre in death, aud the very
entrance iuto it is already a step toward
the grave. We sympithtze with this be
reaved lamily, knowing tbey will have to
take npon themselves new duties and res
ponsibilities. The funeral took place on
Friday, in the presence.of a large concourse
of people. Intermecl in the Lutheran cem
etery, in Pfouts Valley. Out of respect for
a member Ol the profession, all the schools
in the township, ejeept one, were cloned.
The deceased was aged 60 years, I month
and 18 days. Refobtee.
A New York firm applied to Abraham
Lincoln, some years before be became
President, as to tbe financial standing of
one of his neighbors. Mr. Liocotn replied
aslollowst "Yours of tho 10th inst., re
ceived. 1 sm well acquainted with Mr.
, aod know his circumstances First ol
si l, he baa a wile and naby ; together they
ought to be worth $0,t) to any man
Secondly, he bas an office in which there is
a table worth $1.60, and thtee chairs worth
say l. Last of all there ia in one corner
a large rat-bole which will bear looking in
to. Respect! nlly yours. Abeabah Lis
coib." Ask for Brown's batrv
Arrangements have been made to open a
school, at Tnscarora Academy, br good an d
efficient teachers on tbe 8th of April. Miss
Mary Dewing will give lessons oa piano or
organ.
