Important Buxnto. Daring the pre?
sent session of the Court of Common
PleaevfeQpy? the - County of York, Judge
I the following impor
tant decision .as. to Jhe oompetency of
jurors who cannot read in cases involv?
ing an e*amin,aiW.bythe jury of docu
mentary^maence. ^Tne deciAion certain?
ly has reason on its side, and will prove
of great practical value in our courts:
I in the trial of'an issue of tact* involv?
ing the examination of a written or
printed instrument, it is S good ground
Of challenge to a iuror, thai he cannot
read.' ThfeTaet tnata dhireh ?fily drawn
as a juror cannot read would not disqua
" ' hinttasflrve sa. s^ch. bat.would go
mpair his competency in the special
> statesU, ^ejsor, Stay be.Onabie to
I, on#xyef ^ti?y Bo possessed <oT s*
judgment and of ^eat mental
rv *PIS only mental qTuOifloetion
Erescribed by statute for jurors is that
ley shall be "persons of Hound judg?
ment." But if the judgment is to bei
eximined in themxamimiUen of* written I
instrument, tho only avenue through I
which it can .be certainly informed is I
closed to him who cannot read its con?
tents " Thus the CS40 presented for the
oortflideration of .the v jury- nmy arise
under an indictment for forgery, and I
the defence- may be that the party
whoso name is alleged to have Deen I
\forged to the note or draft in question,
authorized the accused'to sign his name
thereto; and the accused'may thereupon
Sresent in evidence the written author
y, alleged, to have been executed by the
person whose signature he is charged
With having forged, and may adduce
letters admitted to be in the own proper
handwriting of such person, in proof of
the authenticity of the alleged authority
to sign. Clearly, in this case, the verdict
would earn open theHdentlty of writer
of the letters and the writer of alleged
authority to sign, and also upon the
further question, whether the terms of
the latter did cpnvey the power to sign.
The jury in 'such case must rest their
judgmonts upon the writing themselves,
the authority to sign being den led. This
class of evidence will b? to a Juror, who
cannot read, as if it did not exist So
in a case of libel, whore the jury are the
judges of the law as weU as the facts;
the offence consists in tho writing
and publishing of false,, scandalous
|.and malicious statements, Ac. Tho
) alleged libel must be set out in its
full tenor (snd. terms. If the juror can?
not read, afld If he Is to repose his judg?
ment upon the alleged publication' as
read in Court, it follows that his verdict
must rest upon the credence that he
f'ves to him who reads, and not upon
e writing1 itself. Why, therefore; does
e law require that the1 lib* Ion a writing
itself shall be produced before the -inry,
ted that total deafness would b? goo> ,
ground Of challenge in %'fcase *here the'
tentiojony is oral; and yet written testi-'
mpny is to the man who cannot hear. In
the enso before the Court, therefore, in
vbriiyjg tha examination of written in
?trhrnents in evidence, the jurors who
cannot rfeftd wil| be excused.
Under the above ruling, other juries
than the original panel were drawn; and
m is but proper to say that during the
-present week of the term; the juries who
served are more competent than any
known in this County since redonstruo

Chabactkbibtic Speech by Ex-Go- j
vxbhob Wms.?At the John Mite he 1 me?
morial meeting, held in Richmond, Va.,
on Thursday evening, ex-G?verhor
Henry A. Wiso was one of the speakers.
He said he had no opportunity to pre?
pare a set speech, and he needed none
on such .an occasion. He was half
Scotch and half English, but in the
very blood of his heart he was an Irish?
man. He had known John Mitchel well,
and he sympathized with him because
he was an unreconstructed rebel, as he
was. He aliuded to the many obstacles
with which Mitchel had to contend, and
how he bottled bravely with them all.
Since the term "felon" had been appliod
to John Mitchel, it was the highest word
on the roll of honor. He would con?
sider it more honor to bear the name 1
folon, as bestowed on Mitchel, than]
D'lsraeli's title of Premier.
A Female Sailor.?In Scotland, a wo?
man lately died whose career has been
I one of singular experience for her sex.
Her name was Betsy Miller, the daughter
jOf William Miller, a ship-owner and
woodiuuTchant, doing untunes* at the
port of Glasgow. Miss Betsy, for she
waa never, married, was for more than
twenty years captain of the good old brig
Cleotua, of Saltcoats. She received hyr
command from her father, who at firat
owned the brig, and ended by owning .it
herself. Her father was also interested
in several vessels whioh traded directly
with Now Tork. Miss Betsy, before she
went to sea, acted as "ship's husband" to
her father, an apprenticeship whioh gave
her all necessary experience, until, final?
ly, .her adventurous and romantic spirit
impelled her to go to sea as a business.
Her. father at first somewhat reluctantly
gratified her caprice, but soon found that
Betsy was the best and most reliable cap?
tain in his employ. She is represented
as baring shown remarkable qualifica?
tions for the position, proving to be a
skillful navigator, a thorough disciplina?
rian and an excellent sailor. In port,
she filled the position of supercargo, and
showed remarkable business qualifica?
tions, which brought the natural result j
of pecuniary success, i She could always !
have her choice of foremost bands; as it
was considered a great, good fortune j
among the sailors to ship under the com?
mand of a female oaptain. Betsy Miller ]
weathered the storms of the deep when
many commanders of the sterner sax
1 have keen driven to destruction upon
the rocks. Her story is well known in
the city of Glasgow.
I Dsaxxno im " Futures." Madame
Bang, a favored mortal to whom the fu?
ture is an open page, all nature a.mure

a tell-tale story, has been honoring Bal
timore by her distinguished presence I
and excitmg it by her rapid disappear-|
ance. Her coming had been announced
by advertisements, which set forth her
skill as a seer and her willingnoss to un?
fold the scroll of fate at the ridiculously I
low figure of * I per roll. Ladies wore
the only ? customers she desired, and
when madame* arrived, tbey came in
shoals. Her method of lilting the veil
of futurity was peculiar, and compre?
hend the lifting of other artioles. She
I required, as a sine qua nan, the deposit?
ing with her of some valuable thing,
say a diamond ring or any other little ]
piece of personal property that would
be portable. On this she would work
her charm, and the visitor, coming again,
would learn what futurity had hidden
and secure the return of her jewels.
Having been entrusted with a trunk fall
of trinkets, madame, looking to her own |
future, got up and dusted.
Two curious letters were received at
the Post Office Department a few days |
sinoe. One, which enclosed one dollar,
was addressed by a lady, at JerseyviRo,
Illinois, "In Care of any liar, ravana,
pbrteg Co., Ohio," and contained inqui?
ries relative to a missing husband. This
letter, it is supposed, was intended for
"any lawyer," but was not claimed. The
other letter waa addressed to tho Post?
master-General, post-marked London,
April 8, inquiring whether any letters
addressed to "Baron Otto von Straus"
had been called for sinoe December last,
and, if forwarded to him) how directed.
The letter is signed Augusta von Straus,
and says, "anxiety for my husband's
welfare is the-apology for trespassing."
j This fetter, which was written on mono?
gram paper and in a good hand, indicat?
ing the writer to be a parson of educa?
tion, encloses a note addressed simply,
"Baron Otto von Straus." It is thought 1
that possibly this gentleman is very ill

i cato. with his friends, or that he may |
'have bean foully dealt with.

Atmospbtoc Dibkases.?The air, with
Out which no creature oould live, is the I
source of diseases of which millions die.
At this season, especially, the atmosphere
is full of the germs of many kinds of
sickness. Every globule of the mistend
fog which cloud tho earth and sky in j
spring holds in solution its portion of]
miasmatic poison.
The evil effects of this anial virus can
only be certainly averted by increasing
the vital Activity of the system and
securing the full and freo exercise of all I
its natural functions, and hence it is, 1
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters, the ]
great nerve strengthener, regulator and
antidote to malaria, is imperatively re
quired in the spring months. i
1 It is at this time, too, that Dyspepsia
assumes its most distressing types, and
that person* of bilious habit usually I
suffer most There is an influence in the I
air which depresses the spirits as well as I
tpe physical energies, and in order to re-1
sjtore their elasticity, tonio treatment is
absolutely neofeHsairy.
, All the world knows that the wonder-1
ful efficacy of Hostetters Bitters in esses 1
<if indigestion, biliousness, nervous pros- I
uVation and malarious fover is due to the
potency of its tonic, alterative and ape-1
rient materials and the absolutely pure
stimulant with which they are incorpo-1
rated.
It is because the public ' have been

in this market for locals, and if some?
thing don't turn up soon, we will hove
tl borrow the "cat" story spoken of:
"If there was a local item stirring I
around, yesterday, wo were not able to
catch up with it If things don't 'liven j
,' we will be forced to print our -cut'
ry. in order to furnish our readers
ith a palatable dish of hash. Did you ]

Ladt "VVabhtkoton's Tba Pabtt.?Lady
Washington'?' Tea Patty vis held hut
ovt?ing, ;aik1 was a brilliant success. 4
Tb^new and fcea?tifal hall of the Bloh
ltntlliin?, Club was handsomely doco
riitad for this festive occasion, and here
Lady "Washington and the stately Father
of hin Country received their friends in
the most finished and courtly atyle.
Among the distinguished throng, we re?
cognized Uenerals Greene, Sumtor, Put?
nam and Gates, with their staff officers.
General Benedict Arnold waw abssnt,
and it has transpired that be waa at the
time in treaty with the British to surren -
render to them the strong fortress at
Went Point. May some bissi, red with
uncommon wrath, overtake the traitor
who would owe his greatness to Ms
country's ruin. Wm. Pens, in the cos?
tume of the Quaker sect, was so obliging
as to step down from another age to
honor the occasion with his presence.
From tastefully I decorated ' booths,
which lined the walls, ices, sherbets,
coffee, tea, salads, Ac., were dispensed
by the attendant maidens, (for cash,)
and little fairies tripped lightly here,
there and everywhere with pretty bou?
quets, which they were induced to part
with for a just consideration. The little
young-old lady who lived in a shoe knew
exactly what to do, and gathered in the
dimes Very assiduously.
The venerable clergy, the gay cavalier,
gallant officers in blue and grey, the
scholar, poet, bibliopole, (who kept the
money,) stately matrons and radiant
demoiselles, combined to make the
evening delightfully memorable. In
mirth and social interchange the hours
sped by and the special objects pf the
"Mother* of her Country were no doubt
largely advanced.
A second levee will be held this even?
ing, when there will be a departure from
the usual grand oeresaony. A minuet
will be danced by-and' ? , sad
General Washington, just for this ] once,
will indulge in s reminiscence of his
youth, and appear in the garden backing
at the historical cherry tree, and will
defy any amount of cross-quest Zoning
upon that famous feat.
