A HUNGRY JURY,
Or, doubtful Case of David Dubious.
Rogues must hang, that Jurymen may dine"
The public have doubtless heard of
the fate of poor David Dubious, whose
case was decided by a hungry jury. But
it may not be uninteresting to state a
few of the particular circumstances at
tending that decision.
. . .
It was a case of life and death—but
one doubtful and difficult to decide. The
evidence was entirely circumstantial,
and in many respects, contradictory.
The pris oiler, unfortunately, bore a ve
ry bud character ; and many people did
not hesitate to say, that if he did not
commit the murder, he was none too good
to do it. But what made his conduct
still inure unfortunate, was the condition
of the stotnaches of the jury. They had
been kept out all night, and it was near
the hour of dining!
Consider then the perilous condition
of the prisoner, his life depended on
such untoward circumstances, pre sum
tire evidence, a doubtful character, a
hungry jury. He might have g ot over
the two fi rst, but wo to him wh ose life
depended on the two last. A comforta
ble filled stomach is one of the best guar
antees for acts of justice, kindness and
charity. Trust a hungry jury with. one's
life ! Never! Hunger renders a man
savage, and he Who has a stomach to let
has seldom any bowels of compassion.
In the case of David Dubious, seven
of the jury were for hanging, and five
for acquittal. Thus they had been some
ime, without any prospect of ever think
ing uhke. Both sides were conscien
tious-, both felt bound in honesty by
their oath to adhere to what they con
ceived to be the true state of the case.
Said those in favor of the hanging—
" The man is very evidently guilty,
and we could neither answer to God nor
our country, should we consent to his
acquittal." . .
IVhile those.on the other side said—
" We have serious doubts of his guilt ;
the evidence is circutnstancial, and ex
ceedingly contradictory, and we could
not answer it neither to God nor our
consciences to take the poor fellows
life.
"Gentleman" said the Constable for
the fifteenth time, "have you agreed
upon your verdict '1
"No" said the fo.eman. "and what is
worse we are not likely to where
fore tee beg you once more to conduct
us into court."
" There is nt, use of it," said he of
the tall staff, " the Judge will send you
back."
"At all events," said one of the Jury
" let's have something to eat, and not
keep us shut up here starving."
"The more you starve the sooner yen
will be likely to agree," returned the
constable.--" Besides, yes know it is
strictly against the law to' allow you
any thing to eat until your verdict is
made up."
The jury again took up the subject,
and endeavored with all their might to
agree ; but with no better result than be
fore. The ease was a stubborn one, and
would not yield to the unanimous desire
for agreement.
The jury was at length permitted to
return into court, where, on stating to
the judge that it was utterly impossible
for them to make up a verdict, his honor
gave them a severe reprimand for their
inability to think alike, and peremtorily
sent them out again, declaring with en
awful shake of his wig, that they should
neither eat or drink, until the case of
the prisoner was decided.
" Alas" said one, .1 we must agree
apon a verdict or agree to starve."
" The latter we can never agree to,"
said another ;. " self preservation is the
first law of nature. What time of day
is it neighbor V'
"it wants half an hour of dinner
" Only half an hour! We have but
little time to spare. We must agree be
fore dinner time by some means or . oth
er. It's almost twenty-four hours since
we have eaten a morsel, and to miss a
nother would be absolute suicide."
" Heigho ! that's a fact," said anoth
er, " and suicide is an unpardonable sin.
If a man commits murder, he may have
time to repent ; but to commit suicide,
he must go to purgatory at once without
the benefit of clergy."
Those who are in favor of hanging
are usually more fixed in their opinions
than those on the other side—thus ex
actly reversing the only charatable max
im of crimnal jurisprudence viz: that
it is better twenty guilty persons should
escape titan that one innocent one should
stiffer. This was most unfortunately
true in the case of poor David Dubious.
" It would be a thousand pities," said
one of his friends, "to hang an inno
cent man."
That is very true," replied one of
opposite side, " but then you know that
it is better that twenty innocent persons
should be hung than one guilty one
should escape ; so the maxim says."
" Why, as to the maxim," said John
athan Standabout "there may be some
thing in' that. But still, I have hitherto
been in favor of the acquittal of poor
David, because I had my doubts about
his being guilty. Ilowsomever, all man
ner of doubts must yield to circumstan
ces. So far as I can see, the evidence
is by no means clear as to the fellows
guilt.—But then on the other hand, who
is he, that twelve respectabie men should
starve for his life A felkkv, at best, of
doubtful reputation ; a man. who' if not
guilty of this, or some other murder,
may very well be spared from the
world."
"There is much truth in what you
sny," said lchabob Avery ; but then con
sider ! how shall we sanswer to God and
our consciences, for our verdict 1"
"True" said Joseph J udgment, "there
is the rub. I acknowledge the prisoner
to lx of little or no value to the commu
nity, as likely to be guilty of murder as
the best of us. But then we are bound
to decide according to evidence."
"And what" said Obadiah 'Lankey,
" is to become of our stomachs in the
mean time I—l am as conscientious as
any other man, 1 don't care who he is ;
and I think I've proved it well, too, in
standing out as long as I have."—But
all things must yield to circumstances,
as neighbor Standabout says, and self
preservation is the first law of nature,
as another gentleman observed ; where
fore, for one, I,m fur having some.din
ner."
" And I too," said Christopher Come.
about.—" 1 patty the poor wretch of a
prisoner, and you all know I fought hard
for his acquittal.—But to go to the
length of starving on his account, /
could'ot possibly think of it."
"But have you no mercy, no bowels
of compassion 1" said Ichalob. Avery.
‘f Bowels of compassion !" exclaimed
Obadiah Lankey, pressing his hands
upon the gastric region—" how can a
man have bowels of compassion when
there isn't a morsel of any thing in his
stomach'? The idea is preposterous."
" You are exactly of my tirind," said
Jonathan Standubout. 'Charity begins
at home,' and it is our bounden duty to
take care of ourselves, whatever may
become of other people. For toy part,
the evidence of David's guilt begins to
look much clearer than it did a short
time ago. At any rate, considering all
things, I think we . can't do better than
to hang him.'
" I can't agree with you there," said
Joseph Judgment. "I must adhere to
the poor fellow though I am starving.-
1 can't get over my oath, my conscience
and all that."
" Yot.r e'onseience! exclaimed Come.
about c what sort of conscience is that,
which prefers the life of a poor wretch
of doubtful reputation, to the comforts
of a good dinner, which no one among
ns is disposed to doubt 1 As to the
prisoner, I'd stick to him till all was
blue if I wasn't so internal hungry. But
I'm not bound to commit murder on my
stomach.
" Wherefore, gentlemen, much as I
regret the taking of an innocent man's
life, I must in this case agree to a yen ,
diet of guilty."
"Well, well, said Joseph Judgment,.
looking at his watch, it's a hard crise
a monstrous hard case. It wants but n
quarter of an hour to dinner time—and
our landlord informed me that he should
cook those fine canvass backs. The
prisoner, as far as I can understand the
evidence, is as likely to be innocent as
guilty i I don't know what to think, in
deed. One thing is certain, however—
I must have some dinner—l can't think
of starving—my conscience won't allow
me. Gentlemen, I'll agree to anything
that is reasonable."

Advantages of Advertising,
TO THE EDITORS.
1 I have had it in contemplation for
1 some time past to address you upon a
subject which perhaps may not be who'-
lv uninteresting to. 1 refer to the bene
- .
tits arising from frequently advertising.
About fifteen years since, I succeeded
'my father in business and inherited
from him, (with many good ideas I am
happy to admit,) a prejudice against
advertising, thinking it did no good.—
Some five or six years since I noticed
lin the daily morning papers of the city
some very conspicuous advertisements
I of a firm whose place of business was
in sight of my own location, and it oc
-1 curring to me that if advertisements
ever brought business to a house, such
as those, were best calculated to do so,
and I resolved to give a personal obset
i ration to the matter ; and being well
acquainted„intimately so, with the firm,
I had a good opportunity of observing.
' With all the force of old prejudice and
almost desiring not to be convinced,
I still I was compelled to admit, before
! many months, from the increase in the
number of their clerks, and the quanti
ty of boxes and bales turned from their
doors into the street, that something or
other was increasing, and rapidly too,
the business of my neighbors. I then
began to debate in my own mind whe- '
ther it would not be well to try the ex
periment myself. About this Mae; a
man carne into my store one day and
settled nn old account, interest and all
which had long previously been passed
over to " profit and loss." His note had
'been protested ; and he had suddenly
moved nway, and I could obtain no. in-'
formation relating to him: It appeared,
however, that he had been very unfor
tunate in endorsing for a relative, and
when in after years he recovered from
Ibis difficulties, like a man of honor he
settled with his old creditors, and with
me among the number. As I had never
expected to sec the first mill of this
debt, it occurred to me that 1 could
allbrd to try the experiment I had been
contemplating, with a portion of the
proceeds of these supposed lost funds,
and resolved to do so: Judging from
observation that the Express, being
both a morning and evening paper, had
a. circulation which would be valuable
to me ; I commenced first with your pa
per. Before three days had passed al
ter the first appearance of my first ad
vertisement, I began to notice un in
crease in my business, and it still Con
tinuing to improve, I then inserted ad
vertisements in two or three other pa
pers, and from that day to this, a period
of five or six years, I continued the
practice, and the result has been that
my business now amounts to more than
three times what it was previous to that
time. If it was not my advertisements'
that brought this increase of business,
I do not know what did ; I am inclined
to think it was this, and though not very
poetically given in general ; must say
that contrary to the rule,
Althoug convinced against my will,
I'm NOT of the same opinion still.
have also inquired of other people
in other business with whom 1 have had
occasion to trade, whose advertisement
I had noticed, and in no instance has
their experience been different from my
own. Most respectfully yours,

CARE CF SHEEP,
An opinion ',retails in some sections,
that sheep require no water during win•
ter, and that they actually do better
without, than with it.—This however is
a great mistake, and one that not unfre
quently gites rise to serious losses--
When permitted, sheep alfheeigh capa
ble from their peculiar structure and
habits, of subsisting a longer time probt
ably, without water, than any other do-
mestic animal, will drink from four to
eight times a dny, and with evident ad
vantage, particularly during winter when
they are necessarily restricted to dry
and unsucculent food which naturally
engenders thirst, and requires :hitch'
drink to render the economy of diges
tion and assimilation sufficiently rapid
and perfect to insure a' continuence of
thrift and health. When practicable,
there should always be a watering
trough in the abed or yard, to which the
animals Can nt all times have free access
without mingling with cattle or larger
stock, as they are liable to be injured by
the latter, especially when with young.'
When there irs n pump in the yard, as
there always should be—the trouble ten
ding such nn arrangement, is compara
tively slight, even where the sheep and'
cattle yards nre, dc they ought to be'
distinct" Nom tiventy-fite to thirty
sheep arc as many as can be well kept in
one enclosure. When the number ex
ceeds this, unless special care be had to .
secure the most perfect ventilation, the
animals :tie liable the contract diseases,
and never•do so well as when confined
in smaller flocks. On taking sheep from
the pasture, in autumn, the sudden
change from green to fobd, often'
1 operates detrimentally, which is suffi-
I ciently evinced by the loss of appetite
and consequent emaciation evinced; nd•
which is often attributed, erroneously,
to disease. As soon as they are taken
from the ranges, a couple of messes of
turnips or potatoes should be given.theiti
daily for a week or so, gradually less
ening the (pentity es they become ac-
I eustomed to f and acquire a relish for
other food. By adopting this plan, and
allowing them a liberal supply of salt
and water, their vigor will remain un
impaired, and the change rendered una
voidable by circumstances, will be pro
ductive of no unpleasantresults.

tOrIS PHILIPP'S PHOPPIRTV-RI.PIURE
TWEE,: HIM AND GrizoT.-Mr. Gaillardet, late edi
tor of the N. Y. Courier des Etats Unis, in
writing for that Journal from Paris, thus speaks
of the late Ring of the French and his family:
If certain letters may be'cretlited, the ex
royal family suffers under the pressure ot• a pov
erty which seems to be unquestionable, after
the report of M. Berryer to the committee of
finance, on the proposition of M. Fevre relative
to the confiscation of the private property be
longing to the house of Orleans. The report is
aguinst the confiscation, and recommends that
the domain he continued under sequestration,
its revenues being applied to the payment of the
numerous creditors. It proposes that the per
sonal effects of the Princes be restored to them,
