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.

MURDER OF A WHOLE FAMILY IN NEW
BRUNSWICK.— On Monday night four per
sons were murdered at a house ou the line of
the new railroad, about ten miles from St.
John. They wore a man, his wife and two
children. Three men committed these dia
bolical acts, incited thereto, as is believed,
by the prospect of obtaining a sum of of mon
ey which was in the house, and which did
not amount te one hundred dollars.
A WRONGEB WOMAN'S REPLY.—Recent
ly a man died at a tavern in this county that
he had long frequented, ueglecting his fam
ily. The tavern keeper sent bis wife word
he was dead, and inquired her will. Sho re
plied: <4 lu life he was with you—he gave you
his money and drank your liquor, which un
doubtedly caused bis death; I now leave him
with you to bury."— Jfevoburypoit Herald.
THE GRASSHOPPER PI.AGCE IN MINNE
SOTA.—The Galena Jldvertiitr says two
geutlcmcn are in that city soliciting subscrip
tions for the relief of the sufferers by the
! Grasshopper Plague, which desolated many
l of the settlements in Northern Minnesota
| last summer. They represent that many
! families there are in a suffering condition,
j and iily prepared to stand tho Winter
j They appeal to the charitable for relief.
j Er""The pepper Dodge" is tho latest re
; finement of street robberies in New York. A
! fellow meets you and throws Cayenne pepper
1 in your eyes: his confederate comes up, in
; quires the cause of your agony ; assists you
all in his power; picks ycor pockets, tkiows
in a fresh bandful of pepper, and leaves.
"A SOLDIER Dor."—The little prince
imperial of France, is entered upon the roll

and his name is called at muster, when an
swer is made for him, "On leave with bis i
