The Court of Quarter Sessions reassembled at 2 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment, Judge Pearson on the bench. In the cases of the Com. vs. Clara Wingert, assault and battery, on oath of Kate Douglass Com. vs.

Clara Wingert, assault and battery, on oath of Kate Geary Com. vs. Kate Geary and Kate Dou lass, assault and battery, on oath of Clara Wingert being the series of cross suits given to the jury at the adjournment at noon a verdict of not guilty was rendered, and the prosecutrix in each case was ordered to pay the costs The first case called for trial was that of the Com. vs. Martin Bachin.

Indictment assault and battery upon a police officer while in the discharge of his duty. Pleads "not guilty." The defendant in this case resides in the neighborhood of Lykenstown, and when sober bears the reputation of a peaceable, hard working man. Unfortunately, however, he now and then indulges in potations both strong and deep, and then his character is just the reverse of peaceable in fact he becomes a dangerous annoyance. Not long since he became very drunk and created quite a disturbance in the most public part of Jjykenstown. Chief of Police St.

Clair, of that borough, endeavored to arrest him, when he turned and assaulted the officer with his fists, using him up badly. After the evidence was given on both sides, the defense withdrew the plea of "not guilty," and submitted to the court. Com. vs. Daniel Boyer.

Indictment assault and battery, with intent to kill, on oath of his wife. Pleads "not guilty." Susannah Boyer, the wife, related her story (a very long one) in German, stating that on the 12th of July last Boyer came home quite drunk, and in terrible bad rumor about something. She had been getting supper, and he took a fork and sat down by the stove. and began eating potatoes out of a pan on the stove. She then began to feed a Eet chicken, when he swore that if she adn't fed that chicken just at that time he would have killed her.

She endeav ored to pacify him with kind words, and told him he should not talk and act so while his sister was lying dead. He swore that the fact of nis sister lying dead was all that kept him from killing her, then and there. A serious quarrel ensued, and she sought safety by running out of the houBe. Boyer then threw the potatoes and household furniture out of the window, and threatened and stormed in a fearful manner, cutting his foot during this proceeding, and vowing all manner of horrible fates against his wife. He finally went up stairs, got his razor, and tbreatend to kill himself, assuring his wife that they would both get cold together.

Susannah's evidence tended to show that their married life was anything but a happy one that he had frequently assaulted, abused and threatened her, and was continually talking about taking his own and other people's lives that be Had tnrown a butcner Knife at ner with such violence that on striking the floor a huge piece was broken from the blade; that he had struck and choked ner ana nnaiiy, as a crowning act, nad brought a colored man named Kelly to board with them, charging him only two dollars per week, and swearing he would board him for five cents a meal rather than permit him to board at his neighbor's Helt's with whom Boyer was on bad terms. Mrs. Boyer protested that it was boar dinar Kelly too cheaD. and that while she furnished the boarding, Boyer collected and retained the bills. The colored gentleman, 'However, became the "dead fly in the ointment" of Boyer's happiness, according to the latter's testimony, as he and Mrs.

Boyer became too friendly they were too much together, and wrestled with each other in his presence. He endeavored to drive the obnoxious boarder away, but Mrs. Boyer persisted in keeping him, and he was continually about the house while Boyer was at work. He could stand it no longer, and so became violent. John Smith, a young German, corroborated Mrs.

Boyer's testimony in regard to Boyer's striking and choking her on one occasion. Mr. Boyer. on taking the witness stand, told a story in his own behalf, which certainly eeemed remarkably "thin." Without positively contradict ing very much alleged against him, he denied knowledge of the same, and evidently desired to create the impression 11.1.4 1 1 1 .11 luntnii times was lrrcsponaiDie lor his acta, and had been so for many years. The jury rendered a verdict of Guilty as to the assault and battery.

but noc guilty of intent to kill." During the absence of the jury in the above case, two informations for surety of the peace, against the same de fendant (uaniel were presented to the Court. As the parties were all present, and it would render unnecea. sary their attendance again next week, tne uourt decided to hear the testimony now, although out of the regular order of proceeding. The first information was on oath of Isaac Collier, who testi fied that Boyer had threatened to kill him, his family and his cattle, had scattered poison around his house, had at tempted to set his woods on fire, and had annoyed him in divers ways and at many times. Other parties corroborat ed uoiiier's testimony as to threats made by Boyer.

The other information was made by Susannah Boyer. his wife. and related to numerous threats made against her peace, safety and happiness. The Court reserved its decision until next week, when such cases will properly come before it i Com. vs.

Isaac Gruber. Indictment false pretense, in obtaining an endo rse ment of Philip Hoke, to a promissory note. Jfleacs "not guilty." Mr. Hoke testified that Gruber came to him and told him he wanted to buy a horse and wagon, that he had three thousand dollars coming to him from his half brother, who was executor of his mother's estate, and that if he failed to pay the note where due, his brother would, advance tne money. On the strength or this representation, knowing the brother to be a man of means, Mr.

Hoke avers that ne endorsed a note for 85. payable in ninety days. When the note fell due. Gruber failed to pay it. and Hoke had to renew it and when it foil due again, he had to pay it.

Gruber had bought the horse and wagon, however, and had offered to sell the Bame and pay the money realized to Mr. Hoke he did nnauy sen tne same, accepting a judgment note for $67 in payment, which he endeavored to transfer to Hoke, but the latter refused it, alleging that he did not know the party giving the note, and it might be worthless. William Connelly, the hair brother of Gruber, testified that he had owed the latter one hundred dollars, bequeathed by tne mother's will, but that at the time he induced Hoke to endorse his note, he had paid a part of it, and Instead of owing him three thousand dollars, he was not certain that be owed him fifty. Mr. Connelly, who had refused or neglected to obey a eubpoena served upon him, and had declared he would not obey it, was brought, into court upon an attachment, and after having given his testimony he was ordered by Judge Pearson to pay a fine of $5 00, and the costs of serving the attachment," and to remain in the custody of the sheriff until the sentence was complied with.

The Judge said witn esses must attend when regularly summoned, or take the consequences.
