We understand a little flare-up oc
curred at Carteret Superior Court
between Judge Moore and the Sheriff
in regard to the subject of colored
jurors. It seeins there were none of
the colored brethren on feitber the
grand or petty juries. The Judge
wanted to know why" this was so.
The Sheriff told ' him it was because
there were only twelve negroes in
the county who had paid their taxes,
and that the .names of . six. of these
had been thrown out, with the names
of two ; hundreVi ;white8,as unfit for
jurors;'; The Judge s had I the County
Commissioners before him, who eor
roboroted the Sheriff's statement. '
He then ordered the Sheriff to sum
mon colored jurors from those pre
senLj Tha Sheriff lokid, round and
told the Judge he saw none present
fit to' serve! as jurorsThe .JuHge
then, pointed out jeertain negroes in
the Icourtlliouse and "ordered the

This affair ' 'gave umbrage ; to ibb.

- The taeeUt deastrDus f re at St.
John. N. B . has furnished another iUnstration of
the strength of this Company- and ot the ample se
curity it affords. The fire occurred on the 30-31 of
Jane; and all the claim b-j-128 ia number, amounting
to $46551 .33 were all adjusted and paid In fall on
or oerore me auin oi iujy, . . w .ri j!
This large sum was paid, in addition to all the or
' dmary losses and expenses, out of the. surplus pre
miums of the first half of ike present year.. J
The Company's Assets, as reported on the 1st of
January last, so far from being reduced, have been
increased by our whole interest income,' and by the
surplus premiums remaining after the .-payment of
all ordinary and extraordinary losses and expenses;
thus affording striking evidence of the important
advantage enjoyed: bj a company whose operations
are not restricted to one country, but extend all
over the, world -disaster and loss in one branch or
district being more than met and comrjenHatad hv
success and gain in others, n t i; ij :i i ,
i am greauy pieasea on neing aDle to congratulate
yoa on par contribution to. this highly isaUefactory
result, the Fire Premiums of this Branch for the
first half of the present year having yielded a net
surplus over all losses and expenses of $316,135.63.
