A YOUNG MAN by the Tame of Jacob Flukes, living in Shippensburg, met with quite a seri ous accident one day last week, while working about his father's horse. The animal by some means tramped upon his leg breaking it above the knee, inflicting almost fatal injury to him. HENRY C. Braman, of the 137th regiment, was in the capital to-day, looking as grim and as fierce as a warrior of a hundred battles and as many victories. He reports the men of the 137th in excellent health, and Col. Bonert as the most popular man among his men now in the field. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On the 3let ult., as Mr. H. N. Fullerton was engaged in running a shingle mill near Brookville, Pa., the edger or jointer broke, the piec 13 being thrown into the air, one piece striking Mr. Fullerton on the right leg, midway between the knee and an kle, breaking the bone, and lacerating the flesh in a frightful manner, causing a compound, com minuted fracture. It is feared the limb will bavi. to be amputated.

Among a large number of articles sent to the Sanitary Commission, Washington city, was a good and patriotic old lady's last tribute to be laid on the altar of her country, bearing the following inscription : "These socks were spun and knit by Mrs. Zeruah Clapp, 96 years old, whose hands in youth were engaged in moulding bullets in the Revolutionary War. Keep the toes of these socks towards the rebels. `CHESTERTOWN, N..Y." A CHILD PURLOINED—MOST ATROCIOUS Muir Dal.—Our city was alarmed late on Friday evening by the announcement that a girl be•" tween five and six years of age, named Marty ELIZABETH, daughter of Mr. Emanuel German, was missing and had been seen in company with a man wearing a soldier cap, and dressed like a discharged soldier. The child was seen with this man at about five o'clock, on Friday evening, going up Second street, hence up Locust to Third, and up Third across the Capitol ground. Here all trace was lost of them and many rumors were circulated regarding the absence of the child. Every effort Was made by the parents and persons in this city on Saturday, to learn the whereabouts of little Mary, who was well known as a sprightly and intelligent child for her age, but it seemed that all human efforts were powerless to relieve the anxiety and grief of the parents and friends Yesterday forenoon, however, two colored boys, who were crossing General Forster's meadow directly in front of the cemetery, discovered right at the edge, in a regular swamp, the remains of little Mary. These colored boys went at once to give the alarm, and word was immediately sent to Mr. German, informing him of the dis covery, and requesting that he should proceed to the spot, for the purpose of Identifying the remains. Mr. German arrived immediately after his notification, and our pen fails us to describe the scene. There was his poor innocent little girl, the hope and happiness of its parents, murdered in the most brutal manner, and that without the least apparent motive for the fiend ish deed. A coroner's jury was at once em panneled by Alderman Kline. Dr. Robert's was present, who upon examination, discover ed that the child had blen shot directly through the throat, the ball entering on the right side of the neck, passing directly through the jugular vein and carrying away the left portion of the neck almost completely with it. The child was lying on its face, with a bruise about the size of a Spanish dollar directly on its forehead, which might have been received in the fall, and the right arm showed the im prints of a hand, as if it had been held firmly with one hand whilst with the other the fatal shot was given,when the child was standing di rectly before the brute who committed the murder. The clothing of the child was some what torn and disarranged, but after a close examination of the body, no signs of any at attempt at rape could be discovered. No motive whatever for the commitment of this most brutal and fiendish murder can, be assign ed. A child so young and amiable, the parents living in a respectable manner, without an enemy in the city, are thus bereft of a beloved daughter. The coroner's jury examined several witoes sea, but without concluding the examination, adjourned till this morning at ten . o'clock. We would particularly request all persons who can give the least information as regards this yet mysterious murder, to commit every thing at once to Mayor Kepner. Many persons saw the man with the child and say that they would know him again if they saw him. Let all these persons appear and give a full and nandid description of all they know, and the perpetrator will certainly be discovered. _Major Taggert, an intelligent and efficient detective officer from Philadelphia, and officer Fleck, of this city, have the matter of ferreting out the perpetrator in charge, and they have already disdovered a chain of evidence, which we hope and pray will lead to the speedy etti prehension of this brute. We hope also that the Mayor and City Councils, together with the Governor of the State, will offer large rewards for the apprehension of the murderer. Let no labors or means be spared to vindicate the laws, and bring the perpetrator to speedy punish ment. ARREST Or THE SUPPOSED MURDERER About six o'clock yesterday 'evening, a sus picious looking man with blood on his coat, was arrested some where in Third street on the charge of being the murderer. . He was at once taken to Alderman Kline's office, and the witnesses who saw the ta,II late on Friday eve- . ning were sent for, bat they all agreed that he was not the man and hence he was honorably discharged. The perpetration of this brutal murder has created a great excitement in this city. Every few steps in the streets crowds were assem bled during yesterday afternoon, discussing the case, and if the perpetrator could have been discovered he would most certainly have been visited with summary vengeance. There can be no caseof a more deliberate and brutal mur der on record and it is so mist.ified,whilst no ap parent motive can be shown for the commis sion of the deed, that many opinions were expressed. We must, however, candidly admit thitt it aiPeirs to be the work of some insane man, as no apparent efforts hid been made to conceal even the body If it had been thrown ten feet further in the swamp it would'not have been discovered in time to recognize it The following is a description of the man seen with the girl late in the afternoon : About 25 years - of age, 6 feet '8 Inches high, slim built, thin face, dark hair, dark complex ion, rather sallow, smooth face, wore a soldier cap very much faded, blue blouse and old dirty grey pants torn about` the bottom of the legs. P. S. Since the above was written, several physicians have re-examined the child, which is, already much decomposed, and they all seem to agree, that a knife had also been used at the child' throat, whilst it may have been shot. The work was evidently tabbed with a knife and that death must have been instantaneous.

Kline, Esq., to whom the various leaders shall report the result of their action. Mr. HICKOK moved that a committee of five be appointed to wait on the Governor and County Commissioners and induce them to of fer the proper rewards. Messrs. Chas. A. Bailey, Hamilton Alricks, James Dougherty, Daniel D. Boas, and .1. R. Eby were appointed said committee. Mr. Eby stated that It would be necessary for him to be absent, and that he, therefore, asked to be excused ; at the same time Mr. Eby of fered to pay one hundred dollars towards de fraying the expenses. Mr. Eby was excused, and Geo. Bergner was appointed in his place. tr. TRACE moved that a committee of five be appointed, whose duty it shall be to receive the names of those who will volunteer as scouts.
