*The next Legislature of this State will
be strongly urged to prohibit the circulation of
bank notes of a less denomination that ten dol.

favor of carrying up the limit to twenty five

interfere with the free circulation of the highest
denomination of coin. There is much reason
in favor of twenty-five dollar notes as the lowest
denomination of bank bills.

made. The whole district is an Indian reser

turn has therefore been rejected by the Gover

has issued a writ against the Governor, order•
ing him to give the certificates of election in
the Johnson and Douglas district to the Pro

comply. The intruders on the Delftware

that they adjourned until that date, in rouse.

Terrible Shootir4 Affray at Chambers •
burg.
Passengers in the cars from Chambersburg
last night reported the particulars of a terrible
shouting affray, which occurred at that place
just previous to the train leaving for our city,
is which the participants are relatives, nod
teen of high position in society, The portico
in the case, are a Mr. Craig, who is a resident
of Pittsburg, and his two brothers-in.law,
:Messrs. IWKibbehs, one a representative elect
to Congress from California, and the other the
Superintendent of the Merchants' Hotel at
Philadelphia. It appears that Mr. Craig hail
returned on Monday from Pittsburg to his wife
nt Chambersburg with one of his children, who
bad accompanied Idin to the former place with
the corpse of its young sister, accidentally shot
few days previous. While seated in the care

solvers, one at the door 1111 d the other at a
it indow of the car, with which they ct mmenced
ficheg nt him in rapid succession, one of the
1 balls whirl effect in his back, and passing
completely tr rough his body. Notwithstanding
which, Mr. Craig immediately sprang to his
feet, and, producing a revolver himself, pursued
his antagonist at the door, mid shot him in the
arm and leg. which caused him to retire itnme
tliately in company with his brother, who had
by this time exhausted the charges in his pis
Mr. Craig immediately received medical at.
tention, but as his wound was not pronounced
dangerm.s, he resumed his sent in the cars and
proceeded on his journey ns far as Shippei,
burg, where, however, a re-action hal
place, and he was compelled to leave the train
for further medical attention.
The wounds received by McKibben were al.
so pronounced not dangerous, Altogether
some eighteen shot were fired in the car, and
the only wonder is that none or the other pas.
sengers were not killed or wounded.
It is stated that Congressman WEibbea had
also in his hand a large bowie-knife when he
commenced the attack.
Thu affair is said to have grown out of an
alleged wrorg inflicted by Craig upon a deal
and dumb sister of the Mliibbens some two
years ago, about which there have been sever.
at disputes between the parties, resulting in a
prosecution, hut the case has never been tried,
Mr. Craig being under bail for $20,000 to
saver.
At last accounts the WKibbens were not nr
rested, although it is said that Judge Watts, of
Carlisle, had taken the preliminary steps to do
so on his own responsibility.
Mr. Craig is a gentlemen of wealth and high
etandieg in the community of which he is a
member, and the attack made upon hits is
universally regarded by the citizens of Chan,
bersburg as being cowardly end outrageous.
P. S.—Since writing the above we have re

state that Craig received two balls unload of
one, cold that hut one has been extracted, the
other eluding the search of the physicians.—
'lle is still remaining at Shippensburg,
though his case is not considered dangerous.
The surnames of the brothers Maibbens
are Joseph and Robert, the fermer being the
Congressman elect front California, and the
.individual who shut at Mr. Craig from the door
of the cur. It is since discovered that he re•
ceived only a slight wound in dm arm front
the pistol of Mr. Craig. This brother escaped
unwounded.

The Victory of the American Mare
"Prioress."
Our exchanges give a detailed account of
the victory of the American Mare "Prioress"
in England against a field of thirty-four horses
many of which have the reputation of being
among the best horses ever Great Britain pro.
duced. The race in`which the American mare
acquitted herself so handsomely, was establish.
ed in 1845, the year when the late Emperor
Nicholas 1. visited England. Bo gave an an
nual donation $2,500, in the form of a work of
art, to be run for yearly, at Ascot; and the
race fur title prize, until the breaking out of
the Russian war, was alwaye regarded as one
of the most important at "Royal Ascot." The
Cesarewitch and the Grand Duke Michael
Stakes were instituted at Newmarket, in honor
of the visits of the two royal scions of Russia
to the cocoa held at that metropolis of the En
glish turf. The Make is reported to have been
worth from $lO,OOO to $14,000, and it is raid
Mr. 'a en Brooch has won its bets nearly a quat ,
ter of a million of dollars. "Prioress," since
the event, occupies the proud position of first
favorite for Cambridgeshire stakes, a prize
worth about $lO.OOO, In his match with Bab.
ylon against Mr. Jackson's Saunterer, he paid
forfeit to the owner of the latter.

The London Star, of October 6, says that
the anticipations which had, ut that time, pre.
veiled of a plentiful crop of potatoes in that
country, had been sutPenly dispelled. With.
in the past few weeks the rot had manifested
itself in the most extraordinary manner.—
Hundreds of acres will not pay fur the dig.
ging, and although looking very well when
first taken out of the ground, in less than
twenty-fom hours the potatoes are unfit for
use, Unfortunately this sudden manifestation
of disease is not confined to any particular dia.
trict, but it seems general. Thin is very sad
intelligence for the poor, as it. practically put
this valnable esculent beyond thou! reach.

Standard of a late date rays:—"Gar some
days pal there hot been a singular story afloat
in this community. Whmher true or not we
are not prepared to soy, but the infortnatiou
comes fleet such tt reliable source that we ore
free to soy there must he something in it.' It
appears that one day last week it men in the
Lekhborhoed of Mount Union, Huntingdon
county, while cleaning grain, suddenly discov
ered that the weevil had destroyed the greater
port of it. This so exasperated him that he
blasphemed the Saviour in such a wilful, ma-
Helot. and wicked manner, that will not bear
putting in print. He left the balm and A, eta
to thu house. where bo seated himself in a
chair, where he had remained but . a few min.
utes befiire he tutted to his, wife, and asked
her what she said. She replied dint she had
not spoken. "I thought," said he, "that I
heard somebody say that I must sit here till
the judgment day." It is now alleged that
he is still silting in the chair, unable to rise
or :peak, with his eyes ',Mug, and totally in.
•
eat ab oof moving his body. His family, it is
said, has left the house, where lie still remaim
ed, seated in the chair of Saturday last!—
What n terrible warning to blasphemers who
setter their passions to overgway their judg.
ment."
