At two 'clock Court was opened, Hon. Geoege Tat tOB, President Judge, and Lis Associates, Hon. Kichard Jones and Hon. George W. Easly, be ing present. After the usual routine of business uch as charging the Grand Jury, &c, had been gtne through with, and no cases on the list ready fvr trial, the Court adjourned until Tuesday mor ning. The forenoon of Tuesday was occupied in the trial of several unimportant casos in the Quarter Sessions. At about eleven o'clock the Jury in the case of the Commonwealth cs Wil liam Arentrue, indictment for Murder, returned the indictment to the Court endorsed "a true I'd!." Shortly after the assembling of the Court iu the afternoon, the case was called, and the attorneys cn both sides declaring that they were ready for trial, the Sheriff was directed te bring the prisoner into Court. A few minutes after the calling of the case, the Court-room was filled to oversewing, and it waa Boon impossible Li obtain a seat inside or outsideof the bar. At about three o'clock, the prisoner was brought lato Court. Of course, our attention, in common ith that of all present, was immediately direc ted towards h:m. lie is, apparently, a young man of about twenty or twenty-one ytars of age. His person is slightly below the medium size, and U somewhat emaciated, doubtiee by long confinement. His countenance, although not nnhandsome, is by no means preposessing, while Lis mouth indicates inflexible firmness and deci-v kn of character. During the arraignment, be appeared to listen attentively to the reading c,f the Indictment, and pleaded distinctly, "Not Guilty" to the several counts it contained. After the arraignment, the Court directed the Clerk to a!l a Jury. After a largo number cf challenges was listening to whot AreDtrue said to Sarah Horner; Arentrue said something; didn't bear it; wanted to get a dance. In bis cross examination, he stated the conver sation btwecn Areutruo and Beamish at ball scared the fiddlers and broke up the dance; that Arentrue asked him a few moments before the affray if he waa his friend; answered yes; beard the umbrella crack and sounded pretty bard; saw no one nut Beamish interfere with Arentrue. In answer to Commonwealth's counsel, he stated that Besmish wasn't as "heavy built" as Aren true; Beamish was only a boy; wasn't taller than the common size or men. The Court then adjourned uutil this (Wednes day,) morning.aud this is all the evidence we can lay before our readers at present. We will pub lish a synopsis of the evidence next week. P. S. In consequence of one cf our hands having undertaken to "carry on for himself" du ring the present week, the publication of our paper has been delayed until Thursday morning. At half past nine this morning the evidence clo sed, and District Attorney neyer immediately proceeded to address the Jury in behalf of the Commcnwealth. Sarah Horner, a witness for the defence, yesterday evening swore that Aren true did not strike at Beamish before Beamish struck him with the umbrella, and that the blow from the umbrella knocked Arentrue down. This is in direct conflict with the testimony of the Commonwealth's witnesses. COHKUIIOATIOS, To Jams C. for cause and peremptory challenges, the follow ing Jury vaa obtained and sworn : Daniel Wisaicger, John Wilson, Jacob Weaver, Andrew Aer. Robert Bsudon, Joseph Shirey, John Bender, Poter llubtr, Charles Conway, Joseph Daily, John Mannion, Peter M'Gough. The erapannelling cf the Jury commenced at half pastthree o'clock, and closed at half past five. The following are the counsel engaged : For Commonwealth, T. L. Heye:, District Attorney, ad John Scctt, Lq. For Prisener, U. D. Fos ter, Johnston & Mullin, A. KopeUn and R. B. ?etriken, Eqs. District Attorney Heyer then proceeded te rpsa the case cn tehalf of the Commonwealth. He stated in a ccntlctsed but appropriate man Ctr, the facU which khe Commonwealth expects tc prove against the prisoner, and on which the rlie for a vrdlct of guilty against him. The first witne.E called and sworn was John Glas, He stated in substance that he had seen Arentrue and Georsr;? Beamish on the night of a ball, at Patrick Hollywood'; that Arentrue told Beamish te rxy to hia face what he bad said be hind his back: he said, "I can fight you:" Bea- lulah then st-pped back and kind of pulled his coat on his shoulders; saw Arentrue strike at Beamish; Ee&mibh then struck Arentrue over the head with an umbrella; Arentrue 6truck at him gain; Beamish ran baek and said "he 6tabbed me;" In about five minutes after saw Beamish lying on the ground; spoke to him, but received no answer; heard Arentrue say he"d 'the fixens' l fore this occurred; this occurred at the end of the Rolling Mill, near the switch, about i of a mile from Johnstown; both were at the ball, but heard nothing between them there; helped to take Beamish to his house; all said ho waB dead; didn't see what Arentrue had in his hand when he struck; this was on Saturday evening, be tween eleven and twelve o'clock; don't know day of month. On his cro?s examination, he stated that he had already told all he recollected; that he didn't see Arentrue and girl starting eut; that night was middling dark; didn't know of party following Arentrue; passed Beamish and Jana Horner and Jack HuiT, Jane in the middle; passed a number of persons, saw Beam ish pass and go in direction of defendant; could not say party followed him; don't know he was following to take the girl; didn't hear Crydcr tell Beamish to pitch in or wade into him; Sarah II.rner was with Arentrue; ball going on when I left; Vept up with crowd going my road; Bea mish struck Arentrue on the head with an um brella; don't kmow whether it knocked him down or not; crowd around when quarrel began; saw the umbrella; Beamish walked fast when he pas ted; Arentrue said he had the fixins; don't know who he paid it to. Thie, we think, is all the testimony cf this witness of any importance The next witness called by the Conimonwoltb wae Joseph M'Guire. He stated that he camo out of Hollywood's house, eaw William Cryder with Sarak Horner; saw Arentrue come up and take her away and start; near rolling mill heard conversation between Beamish and Arentrue; Arentrue told Beamish t wait till he had kis fix ins; saw Areiitrue strike at Beamish; Beamish then struck Arentrue over the head with an im rclla; heard it crack; saw Beamish run back, and Arentrue following and striking at lira; Beamish slipped cn a railroad bar; put his hand his side and said be was stuck; Arentrue ran np at far as a tree; Crjder run after him and hllrti "hold on, he'd stuck one of his best friends;" said ha didn't stick him, and asked for kis cap; Arentru then went on after Sarah Hor- Der; witness went back to Beamish, and found bim on the ground; couldn't tell whether he was iead or not; Martha Horner was there; she knelt down and cried orer bim; he was bleeding out of his Ifl t side; arah Horner had hold of Aren true' arm when he struck first; let go when p.earciab struck bim with the umbrella; this was -wui niree aaomtiB ago; A Twenty Years Chase for a Husband. For the last four years, says the Ottowa, Illinois, Free Trader, a man calling himself Dr. Ashkcnazi, Hungarian physician, and claiming to have been a surgeon in the patri ot army in 1S-J8. has been living in that city. He had been getting along prosperous ly until a few day? since, when a woman made her appearance in the place, and claimed to be his lawful wife. Iler btory is a curious one: "Some twenty years ago, then a lass of fifteen the favorite of her parents, living in twe village of Krepna, Russia a Jewess she made the acquaintance of a young man poor, but distinguished for hia learning and piety, named Asbur Seltzar, IIo bad .been educated fcr a Rabbi, and had so far woe the esteem and confidence of the chief rabbi of the place, that he was frequently en trusted with the administration of the (Jew ish) law in his absence. Iler parents and ail the parties assenting, she was married to the learned young rabbi. On their marriage, her parents gave them a marriage portion of about 1,000, on which they lived about a year at Ivreena, when the young rabbi disap peared, and was gone some three years be fore she ascertained bis whereabouts. Final ly, she heard of him at Dantzic, iu Prussia, whither she followed, found him, and returned with him to Seria, in Poland. Here tbev lived together a year during which a child waB born to them. When the child was some three mouths old they wenton a visit to Ivree na, remained there a few weeks, then started back to Serai. Arriving at the border, the rabbi had provided a passport only for himself, and intimating to an officer that the lady was none of his, be was conveyed across the stream while the was left behind. This was the last she had seen of her loving spouse until she met him ten days ago in Ottowa. But she was unwilling to give him up so. Arming herself with funds and the necessary papers she started in pursuit. She found traces of him in various places throughout j Europe, but waa never able to fix his locality until after three years; she learned that he had been at Jerusalem, had been married to a second wife, had in a year left her, had thence been wandering ovor Europe, assuming the character of a 'Jerusalemite,' begging funds for the destitute children of Israel. That in this way ho had accumulated consid erable money that a brother of his second wife had pursued him found him in Ger many, and got a "writing of divorcement" from him; he relumed with it to Jerusalem and found it defective followed him a Becoud time and found him in London, where he got another writing that was in due form. Then all trace of hirn disappeared, until two years ago she learned that ho had deposited some money with a banker iu Hanover, with orders to forward it whither he should direct by let ter. The banker finally got a letter, dircct iug him to forward the money to Kalamazoo, Mich. Thither sho followed, and there was informed that the money had been sent to Seltzar. iu care of Dr. Ashtenazi, at Ottowa, 111 So she came to Ottowa, and. by acci dent, met Dr. A. in the street, whom she at once recognized. The doctor made a feeble efiort to deny hid identity, but soon caved, and showed a disposition to come to terms. Iler demands were reasonable enough. All she asked was a divorcement and some 1,500 in money to enable her to return to her parents. The first, the Dr. was willing enough to accede to, but, being a great mi ser, utterly scouted the latter proposition, to evade which, be tried earnestly to persuade her to live with him again. She decliues, but commences a proceeding for a divorce and alimony, and, for fear her 'Rabbi" may take leave of her again, be has him locked up. The Doctor is known to have some eight or ten thousand dollars in gold in his posses sion, and could easily discharge the lady's demand: but, he is to miserly that he may linger a long while in jail before he will do it.

Noon, Editor of the Mountaineer. Sir : Your last indicates that, wearied with strife, you are retiring from the uncon genial field of political controversy, where many shrewd blows have as yet been your only recompense, and turning your attention to American classical literature, bare under taken the republication of Washington Irving and the "Democrat and Sentinel." The public may gain by your change of occupation, but I lose. Worshipping at my shrine, you have beea devoted to me no Oriental vassal was more obse quious. I presume that in light and in darkness, on weekday and holiday, I oc cupied your mind -that waking, 1 en gaged your thoughts, and sleeping, I was not absent from your dreams. Although the devotion manifested by you was something out of the ordinary routine of Human exist ence, yet your homage had become a thing of course, a part and portion of my daily walk and conversation to separate from you will cause me a bitter pang, and I am not sure tha: I will not have recqurjxj to the only remedy the existing code provides for your case the fugitive Blave law. I regret with you that you Lave not dived deeply into the lore of the dead the great of old time, and that the more, because in the beginning of this peculiar controversary, I presumed that my antagonist was a gentleman and a scholar. I now find to my astonishment and mortification that be is neither ! Although you have declared your intention to leave me victor to flee away from the wrath to come. I will be obliged to lay on and sp are not; and if the wounds you receive are not cn the front, it is the lot of the craven who turns his back upon the advancing foe In our last we left you compressed in the strait-jacket of a syllogism in order to carry out your illustration, we will this-time impale you on the horns of one of the family of dilemmas. Among the prevarication." for which your productions have been conspicuous, I must again notice that assertion of the promise said to have been made to Mr. Myers. You first charged that a few days before the election I had promised Mr. Myers not to oppose him. When I showed that you were mistaken, you undertook to speak in bis name, reiterate the assertion, aod declare that a question of veracity existed between him and me, which would be settled by our neighbors according to the estimates placed by them on our respective characters. I then asked for a detail of the circumstances atten ding that promise the time when and the place where it should have been given, &c. In reply to that, you announce that Mr. Myers' character cannot be placed in contrast with mine: You mado an assertion to prove it, you offered to put Mr. Myers' character iu contrast with mine You now back out from that offer and decline to go into an ex amination of the facts, and refuse a state ment of the circumstances which alone could establish the truth or falsity of j-our asser tion . Now, quintessence of stupidity, will you never comprehend in what a despicable posi tion you place Mr. Myers, your beau ideal ' Charity to him compels us to believe that you fabricated from the start. You would like to slide off from this branch of the subject, but I have got you nailed, and intend to keep you there I now again call upon you to produce the facts in the case, and prove your assertion by showing when and where that positive promisa not to op pose Mr. Myers was made to him a few days before the election ; or, if you can not prove it, retract the statement it you tail to ao one or the other, there is but one epithet in the language which meets your case, nd lhat we will have no hesitation in applying. You must understand, James, that you will net bo permitted to publish indiscrimi nately, random slanders. You referred to an anti-Lecoinpton meet ing as having been held in this county. I asked you to state when and where it was h eld. You have failed to do so. We must therefore regard this a3 another of your gra tuitous fabrications. If a meeting of that kind was held, let us have the particulars. You attempt to make something out of a typographical error. In my last, instead of 1855, 1858 was printed by mistake. When I spoke of acting with the friends of Gen. Cass, I 6tated that I did so until the autumn of 1855. I was then editing the "Democrat & Sentinel' I am not in 1858. That paper then hoisted Mr. Buchauan a name aj its choice for 1856 I sec the name of no can didate at its mast-head now, (1S58.) The context sufficiently explained the paragraph yet you saw an opportunity to make a stud ied misrepresentation. You are welcome to make the most of a typographical error that is all tha capital you will make off me. Some fine stage effect is attempted to be got off in commenting on my explanation bow an article which I did not approve got into the columns of the "Democrat and Sen tinel." The circumstances to which I allude were known to, I think, every member o the Democratic party in the county. They did not expect me to write every article that appeared in that paper they knew tha according to the restricted scale upon which humau faculties aro constructed, that was impossible. The obstacles interposed by time and space are owssionally utrrornioan table snd it was not to be supposed that I, Borne- times hundreds of miles away, and often for weeks and months absent, could possibly, under those circumstances, bo filling the col umns of a newspaper at Ebeneburg that was well understood and not expeeted. It was expected, however, that the paper should be reliable, consistent and bold, and should advance the interests of the party : these conditions, beyond all doubt, were met. If I bad attempted to make my paper an instrument of private revenge, and devote it to envy hatred aud all uncharitable- ness. it and the editor would certainly have been hooted out of the county. Since that time, whether public sentiment has changed I do not know ; but I remarked the publication of a mean little sheet a sort of 'Jakey," which pretends to be Democratic, and has stolen a glorious name just as pirates have a locker full of the flags of all -.1 . 1 A respectable tations wun, as its ecmor, a nondescript streak of divine wrath, whose carcass can be measurea only Dy a sign post, but his intellect by a parenthesis.

Whether this result is due to the labors ot the centleman with the parenthetical under standing, is more than I now have time to cinhcr out. The two facts are co-existent : those who have a propensity for mathematics might derive certain conclusions from th"m You think that you will now conclude this controversy. Not so fast, my vamosing worshipper hold up your wheezing Pegasus, and let us have a friendly good-bye.

As the "editor of a Demo cratic paper." is it not occasionally your duty to "review" also? Well : A few weeks since you commenced the discussiod by blackguarding a citizen be cause he had exercised that right which is sacred, and guaranteed to every citizen of this land that of casting his ballot as he sees fit. Your higJiness, "as the editor of a Democrat ic paper," found it your duty to single me out of the several thousand voters of the county, and apply to me such gentle epithets as "traitor," and decree that I wasunworihy. of confidence, but with surprising delicacy: you omitted to prove the truth cf what you j said Ycu did uot show that I had the in -terests of the party in my charge at the tinie you did not show that it was in ray power to betray anything, but out of excess of consideratian, with "perilous partiality," you dubbed me "traitor." I could not be irser.sible to the attention unapt in the appli cation of the epithets: I did not call you traitor, but I jroveJ you to be puch. I showed that recently you had been selected as the representative man of the Cambria Democracy, that you were entrusted with the care of their interests were the depository of their confidence, and that at the earliest nossible moment, "you deliberately, studi ously, carefully and completely violated that confidence and betrayed those interests; and that, lest your treason might admit of any pos sible doubt, you attended when they had met together, and ascertained their wishes, so that you could with the greater certainty do that which they told you not to do, and leave un done) that wffich they told you to do. So true was my record of your conduct, that you have not only not denied my account, but have declared that you will stand on that record in all future time.
