QUARTER SESSIONS. THE CRIMINAL CASES BEING TRIED. Attendance Smaller than Usanl FP. B, Swartz Boand Guilty Again of Forgery of the Grand Jury, ete Monday morning the first session of August court was held, The forenoon was devoted to the report of constables, motions of attorneys and the organiza. tion of grand jury, with Thos. IB. Potter as foreman. MONDAY AFTERNOON, The first case called was the Com. VS, Wm. Raymond, the Gipsy, charged with stealing a buggy, lap robe and harness from the property of Hayes Schenck, of Howard, last May and was arrested near Coburn. Wm. Gray, Esq., de fended the Gipsy as best he could under found the the circumstances, but the jury him guilty of larceny and he was re- manded back to prison to awaitsentence.

He was defended by H. C. The verdict of the jury was guilty of larceny. He back to jail to await sentence. FUESDAY MORNING, Probably the most interesting case of of Com. vs P. B. tWp.~—pro a Quigley, Esq. the week was that Swartz, of Howard fer Swartz prosecuted Con some time ago before "Squire Kline, at Howard, for £30 damages claimed as arising from a supplemental contract by which Con. fer was to harvest and deliver grain, ete, Confer pronounced this second contract, to which his name wassigned, a forgery on the part of Swartz. The tried at April court and Swartz found guilty. W. F. Esq., then obtained a new trial for Swartz, which consumed the whole of Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning the jury rendered their verdict in which they found Swartz guilty in manner and form as indicted, He was taken back prison to await sentence, The principal feature of the trial was the expert testimony of H. Rauck, of Mauch Chunk, Pa., who is the editor of the Mauch Chunk Democral, Mr. Rauck is none other than the famous writer in the Penna. Dutch dialect of the articles in that paper under the sig- nature of ** Pit Schweffelbrenner,”” which have been read far and wide. Mr. Racuk is some 70 years of age and has devoted much of his time to the study of penmanship and especially the gen. nineness of signatures, and is considered the best anthority on such matters, After a very careful examination of various signatures of Robert Confer and the signature attached to the sec. ond agreement, he pronounced it with. out a doubt a case of forgery and an attempt to imitate the genuine signature of Robert Confer. WEDNESDAY MORNING, Two cases of the Com. vs. Charles Miller, of Rush twp,, assault and bat. tery—G. H. Hall prosecutor, were tried, Verdicts, not guilty, Costs equally di. vided in the first case, and Chas, Miller pay all costs of the second case, The next was the Com. vs. Isaac R.

Com, vs. Daniel Brent, a colored boy who became intoxicated and flourished a razor at the depot and cut Charles Wabble, was convicted of earrying con. cealed weapons, Com. vs. J. F. Karsher, book keeper at the Sandy Ridge brick works, charged with selling liquor without li- cense, Was Reeder, to GRAND JURY REPORT. The report in substance is: Thirteen bills were passed upon, of which four were ignored. Minor repairs were recommended about the county jail, the court house roof, in the Prothonotary’s office, and the removal of the water closets at the rear or the zourt house. A plea for the incorporation of South Philipsburg was favorably recommend. ed. COUNTY COMS, INDICTED, At the instance of Judge Furst the Grand Jury was recalled and the County Coms. were indicted for maintaining a nuisance, by the condition of the water closets, They accordingly found a “true bill” and the matter will cause some fun, It is alleged that this is a scheme to compel the county commissioners to carry out the Judge's pet schemes to bring about the erection of a new court house, thereby involving the county in an immense debt. Probably it was in. tended as a political dodge to slap the present board. Such desperate means were never thought of when republican officials controlled the same office. ~Uneclaimod letters: Stefana Gam. teleros, G.

He wanted to wash his buggy and attempted to drive into the creek below that place when his horse frightened and backed down an embankment about ten feet high into the creek. The horse fell and became tangled np in the harness, strug- gling and floundering in the water in its efforts to extricate itself. Mr. Noden, the pastor mentioned, went to the as. sistance of the animal and tried to cut the harness, but in the struggles of the horse he was knocked down and sank under the water. The timely arrival of a Mr. Willis just sayed the preacher from drowning, although it is said he was rescued more dead than alive. The horse was drowned and the buggy otally wreck ed.
