An Anisona jury.

--The Mesilla Times gives the subjoined report of the verdict of a most potential jury in that quarter:

This case, the Padre of Las Cruces vs. The People of the Territory of New Mexico, came on to be heard before the Alcaide of Dona Ana, on the 2d inst. A jury of six was empaneled, and the evidence placed before the jury, and they retired to agree on their verdict. Two were for fining the Padre for his eccentric conduct, the others were for allowing them to go clear. The majority finally brought in an extraordinary verdict, fining the two dissenting jurors $5 each, fining a person who had nothing whatever to do with the case $25, and acquitting the Padre.
