*-HOUTIN<H*PPR-VY 'ATCIIAMBERS- ?}*URG. An rffWlr'of'a most unusual and unforta iinte'tihitractcr happened at Chambersbnrg, on Tuesday afternoon last. Wc have glean ed the following particulars of it from ■•Mirccs of the most reliable character: Our oaders will recollect that some two or three veuis ago"a great excitement was created iu Pittsburgh by the announcement that a mau named Isaac Craig had seduced a daughter of Chambers McKibhen, Esq., who is both deaf aud dumb. The affair passed be round* oi the press, and was the subject of general eouunent. Craig had married a daughter. ®f *Mr. MiKibben, who was of a sickly tharacter, and i oilier-absence abroad to obtain relief, it-is alleged Ihe < act was done. As might have been expected, the brothers of the lady, whose :hartc4er was thus ruined, were exceedingly indignant over the occurrence, and several attempts have been made at diffetent times to lake 'be life of the individual who is supposed to have been guilty of tbe disgraceful offence. On Friday of last-week, one of the broth ers, Joseph C., who has beeu abroad in Cal irornia for sonic years, and is one of tbe new members-of*Cupgress elect frwn that State, ii coipany with auothcr brother, Lobcit, <sed through this place, to visit their aher at Chambersburg, whore ho has a Tuntry scat. They have remained there s'mee that time. The older of these broth ers, Joseph, is described to us as a large, fine locrking'Oian, who would weigh-probably two hundred pounds, while the other is of rather spare build. 'Craig, the alleged se ducer of tbeir sister, is a small man. After the parties had been separated, tb< < trben brothers were seen surrounded bj five or six yonng men, and it was un do- tood, wore preparing to mako anotbe: ■ jk. The Superintendent of the Kailroa( • -ipany, Mr. Lull, learning this, orderei ft a Conduetor to start immediately with hi •rin, which he did, bringing Craig along .nd leaving many of the passengers behind who w sre standing in squads discussing th affair. Craig did not at first feel any ap prehension * frwrndhe wouuds be had receive but after tbtf tnun was in motion, they be came very pain"fui, and he was obliged to b removed from tbff cvs at Shippcnsburj where he was plac.'d nmder Jfho medics charge of Dr. Stev'urt." The JMcKibbe brothers have since bevn indicted by th Cumberland Valley Railroad: Company", an placed under bonds. We are informed tha Craig has expressed himself at several tin.<e to persons who have visited him at %ippeos burg, as gratified that the subject has beet a matter of litigation, as it will notv atfcn iim an opportunity to prove his iunoceac< of the charges made against him. He re ides in Pittsburgh, where he has engagei 3 the lumber business, and is said to bo i .;ry intelligent man. The car in which tb< fray took plaee was very much riddled bj the pistol halls. The wounds of Craig hav< been pronounced not dangerous, ty the phv sician.— Jhrri-d>urg Hera/J. k On yesterday morning Craig passed | through this'plaee for Chambersburg, in j company with his little boy, whom he was taking to see his mother, with whom the j husband is not living, aud who resides with j her father. It is said that he was not aware j that the'brothers McKibben were at that . place, or he would have remained away. — The brothers did not hear of his arrival in ] the town until in the afternoon, just before the cars for this place-started, but learning | that 1 be was to depart in the two o'clock . train,'they immediately armed themselves j and started to the railroad with a view of ( taking his lift 1 . Wfcen they arrived there, ; they both walked ulcng the platform of the , depot, along side which the cars stand, until j they espied the objcct*of their search, when Joseph immediately jniuped up to the door of (lie car, ADJ Robert ran to the opposite end, and each fired iu at Craig. The car was full of passeugers, and it may well be -supposed that the disturbance immediately created <> wildesf alarm ainonirt them.— ainers dodged behind the scats, others jump ed outof the windows, and a general scene of excitement occurred. The firing was continued'by the brothers in this way for several rounds, but both seemed 10 be under so much excitement that they were unable to take direct aim, anJ Craig remained wn wounded. As soon as he could do so, be 'extracted a revolver from the place where it was confined, and fired it several times, each time taking aim at Joseph. He has since -said that he did not desire to injure Robert, whom he might have shot with the greatest ease. There were some 12 or 13 shots fired (a all, in the ear. Finding that lie could do nothing in the car, Craig made for closer action with Joseph, when the latter started to run, aud was followed by Craig, with the other brother in the rear. During this race Craig fired several shots at Joseph, one taking effect in the arm, and injuring him slightly. Robert also frred several shots at Craig OH of which entered his back. During the melee Craig was also pierced in the groin by a ball, but we cannot say with accuracy f-om whose pistol. The parties were separated after having chased one another around the depot building for some time, and endangering the lives of a great many rsous who were in the vicinity. AH the parties were armed with two pistols apiece. i"r*:g is Jeprecuted to have acted with the ati. est c-iolnees during the entire affair.— Several of our citizens were present through out ;he melee, and one of them, Mr. James L. 1-ealy*, ve.*y narrowly escaped with his life. j PEXSSILVAWA'LEIiISLITIBE SESATK.
