MAT 3ITISTERIOGS Ta.tm.—Oar attention has beeii called to a certain mysterious train, which rens from 'Wrightsville and othersec tions:of York county, to this place, at the latter end of the week. It is said that it .nakes but one trip weekly-And the surmises in regard to its object are various. The agents are the only passengers, as the accom modations are of the "one horse" kind. Some suppose that it is but a temporary affair, which will disappear with the excellent sleighing over the river, gotten up to trans port supplies into York county, from a scar city of which the good people there are now suffering; while others maintain that it is a regularly organized concern, and that ar rangements are being made to carry passen gers as well as freight, and in a short time travellers may be set down .at any point along the different routes of the train, either with or wihout a mmtent's notice. We are in the dark, and hope some one will enligh ten us on the subject. ItgirWe had the pleasure - of examining, a day or two since, an excellent piece of mech anism, called the 'Prussian needle rifle." Its owner and maker, is a young man now employed by Mr. Lemon, of Lancaster, who "put us throUgh" in an explanation of its immense utility as a "shooting stick." Ile stated his ability to load and discharge the weapon twenty-one times in a minute. Its range is four to seven hundred yards. We imagine that a squad of twenty, as brave fel lows as ourselves, armed with such a weap on, could easily flog—well we don't like to say how many—but at any rate a pretty big crowd of John Bulls; always provided they did not rush in on us in too big a hurry, It just meets our views, as we prefer being at a considerable distance from anybody we fight with. Se" Within the memory of the "oldest in habitant" there has seldom been such a time of cold weather and snow as the present.

The boy on dis covering that he had shot M'Elroy, started for Dr. J. L. Atlee, gitve him the pistol, and returned with him to the tavern, and there the Doctor dressed the wound. The DJetor, at a preliminary examination before the Mayor, testified that he had examined and probed the wound but did not succeed in finding the ball. He- did not necessarily think the wound a dangerous one; by proper care and nursing there was ayes-sonable pros pect of recovery.

The Mayor refused to release the lad on bail, thinking it best to await further devel opments of the case, and conunitted hint for further hearing.

ATTEMPT TO K 1.L.-A man named George Auxer, residing in the North Western part of the city, attempted to shoot his wife on Saturday night last. Auxer is a man of very intemperate habits, and the cause of great trouble and anxiety to his family and friends. A few weeks since he was arrested fur assaulting his wife, but the matter was arranged and it was thought that he would do better. In this, however, his friends were mistaken; he continued indulging in dissipation, and on last Saturday night, pro cured a gun and while his wife was sitting in the room, discharged it at her through the window. Fortunately his aim was not true one, and she escaped, the contents of the barrel entering the ceiling and side wall of the room. Auxer has not yet been arrest ed.— Letneader Examtner.
