text: HOUTIN<H*PR-VY 'ATCIIAMBERS- BURG. An effort of the most unusual and unfortunate character happened at Chambersburg, on Tuesday afternoon last. We have gleaned the following particulars of it from the most reliable character: Our readers will recollect that some two or three years ago, a great excitement was created in Pittsburgh by the announcement that a man named Isaac Craig had seduced a daughter of Chambers McKibben, Esq., who is both deaf and dumb. The affair passed through the press, and was the subject of general comment. Craig had married a daughter of Mr. McKibben, who was of a sickly character, and other absence abroad to obtain relief, it is alleged the act was done. As might have been expected, the brothers of the lady, whose character was thus ruined, were exceedingly indignant over the occurrence, and several attempts have been made at different times to take the life of the individual who is supposed to have been guilty of the disgraceful offense. On Friday of last week, one of the brothers, Joseph C., who has been abroad in California for some years, and is one of the new members of Congress elected from that State, in company with another brother, Lobel, passed through this place, to visit their sister at Chambersburg, where he has a country seat. They have remained there since. That time. The older of these brothers, Joseph, is described to us as a large, fine looking man, who would weigh probably two hundred pounds, while the other is of rather spare build. Craig, the alleged seducer of their sister, is a small man. After the parties had been separated, the two brothers were seen surrounded by five or six young men, and it was understood, were preparing to make another trip. The Superintendent of the Railroad Company, Mr. Lull, learning this, ordered a Conductor to start immediately with him, which he did, bringing Craig along and leaving many of the passengers behind who were standing in squads discussing the affair. Craig did not at first feel any apprehension for the wounds he had received but after that time was in motion, they became very painful, and he was obliged to be removed from the cars at Shippensburg where he was placed under the medical charge of Dr. Stewart. The McKibben brothers have since been indicted by the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, and placed under bonds. We are informed that Craig has expressed himself at several times to persons who have visited him at Shippensburg, as gratified that the subject has been a matter of litigation, as it will not appear an opportunity to prove his innocence of the charges made against him. He resides in Pittsburgh, where he has engaged in the lumber business, and is said to be a very intelligent man. The car in which the fray took place was very much riddled by the pistol balls. The wounds of Craig have been pronounced not dangerous, by the physician. -d>urg Hera/J. On yesterday morning, Craig passed through this place for Chambersburg, in company with his little boy, whom he was taking to see his mother, with whom the husband is not living, and who resides with her father. It is said that he was not aware 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 he was to depart in the two o'clock. Train, they immediately armed themselves and started to the railroad with a view of taking his life. When they arrived there, they both walked along the platform of the depot, alongside which the cars stand, until they espied the object of their search, when Joseph immediately jumped up to the door of the car, and Robert ran to the opposite end, and each fired in at Craig. The car was full of passengers, and it may well be supposed that the disturbance immediately created a wildest alarm among them. The robbers dodged behind the seats, others jumped out of 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 to be under so much excitement that they were unable to take direct aim, and Craig remained wounded. As soon as he could do so, he 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 at all, in the ear. Finding that he could do nothing in the car, Craig made for closer action with Joseph, when the latter started to run, and 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 fired several shots at Craig's of which entered his back. During the melee, Craig was also pierced in the groin by A ball, but we cannot say with accuracy from 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 persons who were in the vicinity. All the parties were armed with two pistols apiece. It is represented to have acted with the utmost coolness during the entire affair. Several of our citizens were present throughout the melee, and one of them, Mr. James L. Lealy, very narrowly escaped with his life. PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION SESAT.

They were a man, his wife and two children. Three men Committed these diabolical acts, incited thereto, as is believed, by the prospect of obtaining a sum of money which was in the house, and which did not amount to one hundred dollars. A WRONG WOMAN'S REPLY.—Recently a man died at a tavern in this county that he had long frequented, neglecting his family. The tavern keeper sent his wife word he was dead, and inquired her will. She replied: "In life he was with you—he gave you his money and drank your liquor, which undoubtedly caused his death; I now leave him with you to bury."—New York Post. THE GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE IN MINNE SOTA.—The Galena Daily says two gentlemen are in that city soliciting subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the Grasshopper Plague, which desolated many of the settlements in Northern Minnesota last summer. They represent that many families there are in a suffering condition, and they are prepared to stand the Winter. They appeal to the charitable for relief. "The pepper Dodge" is the latest refinement of street robberies in New York. A fellow meets you and throws Cayenne pepper in your eyes; his confederate comes up, inquires the cause of your agony; assists you all in his power; picks your pockets, throws in a fresh handful of pepper, and leaves. "A SOLDIER FOR."—The little prince imperial of France, is entered upon the roll of the French Grenadier Guards, draws pay, and his name is called at muster, when an answer is made for him, "On leave with his family." AN EXCESS OF IMPORTS.—While the merchants of New York are all well stocked, it is said that there are now lying in the Customs House stores of that city, imported goods to the value of thirty millions of dollars.
