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.
ANNUAL CONVENTION.—The annual convention
of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, was
held in the borough of Chester, on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week. Delegates were in
attendance from the District of Columbia, New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Dela Ware, and Penn
sylvania. The proceedings of the convention
were conducted with great harmony and good
feeling, and at the close of the convocation the
members separated, well pleased with the work
which had been accomplished. The election of
officers took place on Wednesday. David Bow
ser, of Philadelphia, was chosen Grand Master,
and James Needham, of the same city, Grand
Secretary. The next convention of the Order
will be held on the first Wednesday of October,
1863, in the city of Washington.

In explanation of the above table, it may be
proper to state that a large number of persons
enrolled were under the age of twenty-ons;,'
and over the age of forty-five, who, by law, are
not subject to military duty ; hence the large
number of exempts.
The undersigned desires further to state that
he will proceed to make the draft on the 16th
Instant, as per General Order No. 37, issued by
the Governor of this Commonwealth, unless
previous to that time any ward, district or
township in said county, shall offer volunteers
to fill its quota, in lieu of the men to be draft
ed from such district, so as to obviate the neces
sity of a draft entirely.
Such volunteers may be offered to the Cum
missioner at any time previous to the day on
which the draft is to lie made, but he is not
authorized to subsist them until the day fixed

"KEEP THE ToEs TOWARDS THE BEMS."
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.
Mono Dismosunss.--Several of our most emi
nent physicians exa mined the body of the little
girl who brutally murdered on Friday
night, and they cane to tharmanimOns concin
sion that a rape had-been attempted on the in.

Comp lily will be held in their Hall this Mohday
evening at the usual hour. Punctual attend
ance is requested.
Tara PROVOST GUARD had a terrible encounter
on Third street, near Market, on Saturday after
noon, with drunken and disorderly soldier.
One of the Guard who was on duty in the
vicinity named, challenged the ruffian and de
manded his pass, when the brute assailed the
Guard, and but for the interference of persons
who were near, serious consequences might have
been the result. The cowardly soldier, after a
desperate struggle, was rescued, and carried
before the Provost Marshall, who disposed of
him in a manner which will no doubt give him
a clearer idea of discipline and obedience.
SANFORD'S BENEFIT. —The season at Sanford's
closes to-morrow evening ; consequently a bene
fit is tendered to Mr. S. which will come off
this evening. A rare bill is provided, introdu
cing Mr. E. J. Turner, the celebrated vocalist,
who will appear in part first, and will also sing
a serenade song in part second. The programme
for this evening contains many new acts, among
which is an Elephant Trained by Mr. Sanford.
The elephant being a feature, many, we pre
sumo,' will go to see it. We must congratulate
Mr. S. for having carried the season through so
triumphantly. Therefore he is deserving of, a
benefit. Let this be the night to be remembered.
Hoping soon to have the indefatigable Samuel
back again, we must comfort ourselves with the
hope that something will turn up in his absence:
We understand that Blitz, (the Signor,) is short
ly to appear. So come along, Bobby, with the
birds.
DREADSIID ACCIDENT. —About 8 o'clock on
Saturday evening, a man named Marcus Derey,
was discovered on the railroad track, in the
vicinity of the Round House, in a most dread
fully mangled condition. The strangest parts
of the facts in this case is that the man was in
a moat beastly state of intoxication, when
found, notwithstanding he was so horribly in
jured. His left leg was smashed above the
knee, and his right ankle dislocated and smash
ed ; his left clavich was also broken. He was
brought into the hospital, where he died on
Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, still so intoxi
cated that he was unconscious of his condition;
for when asked if he knew he had lost part of
his leg, he replied he never had but one. He
was forbid going out of camp in the evening,
but did not heed. He broke guard and got
drunk, and it is presumed was trying to find
his way out to camp, but gut on the railroad
track, where an engine passed over him. His
remains will be sent to his father. He had no
family. His father lives in Orwinsburg Land
ing, Schuylkill county. The deceased was a
member of Capt. Wellington Jones' company,
from the same county. •

Coughs, Fevers, and all diseases arising from
impurity of the blood, that she is prepared to
furnish Mrs. . Westhoven's German Vegetable
Medicines at very moderate rates. I have also
on hand a quantity of invaluable Salves for
Sore Eyes, Frozen Feet and Piles. References
can be furnished as to their wonderful efficacy,
whenever called upon. There need be no ap
prehension in regard to my competency to ad
minister it, as I have had it on hand for the
past six years. As they are now sold at reduced
prices, no family should be without them over
night. They can be had at any time at my
residence, in Pine street, between Second and
Front. (anl3-dim) MRS. L. BALL.
TIM wonderful success which has attended the
use of my medicine, has induced me to say a
word through the press in its behalf. My rnedi
ci..es are prepared with great care, expressly
for family WEI, and are admirably calculated to
preserve health and remove disease. I can
therefore recommend them with the greatest
confidence, and am fully persuaded from past
experience that they will give very general if not
universal satisfaction. But at the same time Ido
not pretend to assert, that they are "pure ails." `
I have cured Gravel, Dropsey, Scrofula, and
have regulated the female system. Reference
