Ra~ A shooting affray was enacted, on
Tuesday night last, in the vicinity Of Shepards
Creek, some two or three miles from this vii
ge-disgraceful in its origin and probably
fatal in its character-at the house of John
Ticknor, whose responsibility is matter of
question in the community, from his notorious
conduct while a resident here John V. Ha-
gadorn, who gave Ticknor a most brutal horse
whipping some time since in our streets, in
company with some particular comrades
are unknown to the public-took occasion, un-
der the cover of darkness, to attack his house
for what object or design is as yetunexplain-
ed satisfactorily, but there is no doubtbut what
the intent was bad-and demanded admission
No sooner was the demand made than it was
responded to by the report of firearms The
shooting was in the house, the balls passed
through the door and two of them took effect
upon the person of Hagadorn, one entering his
breast and the other piercing one of his shout
ders. The party without then retreated, car
rying with them their wounded companion,
who is still alive, though in a dangerous CON
dition. 1t is supposed that Tckuor did the
firing. - Warerly Adroeate. " ..t aa

RUNyING A BEND-A good thing occurred
at Warren between an old Democratic un-
beman and Senator Bigler, the morning after
latter had made his recent speech there. The
court room had been very warm, and Just at
the point in his speech where Mr.. B. was
trying to justify his own and Mr. ellis votes
in favor of Lecompton,, the sweat poured off of
him in fine style. The next morning, the old
lumberman, remarked to Mr.. B. that he. ap-
.psared to be very warm last night. /. Senator
Bigler replied that he was,very warm indeed
it was very oppressive. But," said the lum-

Frank the murderer, was awakened by the
revival last winter, and joined the church on
probation, or "-on trial. as it is more general
ly called. But he soon apparently lost all in.
terest IN religion, aud returned to the habits
which his father hoped he had denounced for
ever 1t is said his father has urged him to
attend family prayer in the evening but that
he has of late refused to do so. But Frank
is spoken of by former acquaintances "A " good
fellow" They say he was never regarded as
bad young man although he was rather wild.
Others say the family feared his habits would
lead him to some desperate act.
1t is, Of course, impossible to conceive any
adequate motive for this wholesale and horrid
buchery Two theories are presented one,
that he killed his father for the fanced injuries
he had received at his hands and frenzied by
the bloody deed killed all that came in his way.
Another is, that he intended to leave no wit
nesses of his crime and no heirs to his father 5
fortune, and finding that he had not succeeded
either in destroying the whole family or con-
cealing the evidences ofhis guilt, killed himself
as soon as he heard the officers enter.

A Man MUST BE TRIED BY TWELVE Jurors
The Court of Appeals, New York, has
awarded new trial to Cancemi, convicted of
murder, because he was tried by eleven jurors
only, though the prisoner assented to this ar
rangement. The Court however, holds that
trials for crimes must take place as the law
prescribeS, and the State has an interest in
preserving the lives and liberties Of its citizens
and will not allow surrender of them If a
deficiency of one juror conld be allowed, a
deficiency of eleven might also be permitted,
or the trial be committed to the Court alone,
an innovation which would destroy the nSttu-
ton of trial by jury. Cancemi has been tried
three times twice he was convicted, and the
verdict set aside, and once the jury disagreed.
He now has another chance for his life.

ELEcrIoNs.-On Tuesday last, there were
elections held in seven States-Deleware, Hi

determine the political complexion of the

be majority against the Democratic party.
We are obliged to GO to press without any
information as to the result of these elections.

A PROCLAMATION.
FELLOW CITIzENS:-The goodness of God
to Us as people calls for our pnblc acknowl-
edgement and our grateful praise The past
and the present are crowded with His blessings.
Nothing has occurred to imperi the principles
of civil and religious liberty upon which our
Government is based, or to interfere with its
harmonious operations in all departments. We
are at peace with all foreign nations, and the
noise of violence is unheard within our borders.
While all enjoy perfect freedom of opinion, the
genial influences Of our free institutions, and
the mild spirit Of our holy religion, are more
uniting Us in one brotherhood Our education
al institutions are difusing intelligence among
the masses of our citizens, inducing a higher
appreciation of their privileges, and deeper
sense of their obligations Though in some To-
caliteS the pestenCe has prevailed our coun-
try at large has enjoyed unusual health, and
we are blessed with an abundance Of all the
neceSsaries and comforts of life. Our indus
trial pursuits are fast recovering from the tor
por induced by the recent financial embarras.
ments confidence is being restored, and buSi-
ness is resuming its wonted activity. Mercies
crown all our relations in life, and the hopes
Of gloriouS immortality wait to cheer and
bless every heart.
Prompted by my own convictions Of duty,
and in conformity with the expressed wishes of
many of my fellow citizens !, WILLIAM f.
PACKER, Governor of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. do hereby appoint 1HnrsdGy
The EigdtcenM dag Of N0rcmjer nert, to be OBJ
served as a day Of general Thanksgiving and
PRAYER, and recommend to all our people that
setting aside on that day all worldly pursuits,
they assemble in their respective places of wor-
ship, and unite in offering thanks to God for
His goodness, imploring His gracious forgive
ness, and the continuance of His mcrcies.-
And while our hearts throb with gratitude to
God for His unnumbered blessings, let lber-
al charity be extended to all upon whom have
been laid the burdens Of misfortune and want.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of
State, at Harrisburg, this 28th day of Oc-
tober, in the year of our Lord one thousand
