SHOOTING AFFRAY.-The vicinity of Favette and
North streets thrown into considerable excite
ment yesterday evening about o'clock. 1t seems
that two young men got into a quarrel in
the lottery office of Mr. McPha in Fayette
street, in that neighbo hood, and one of them, a
clerk named John Joyce, ordered another by :he
name of James Joyce to leave the office: after some
angry words, he attempted to eject him iorcibly
when james started to run, at the same time draw
ing pistol and firing at John; the slug with which
the pistol was charged entered his coat near the
right shoulder, and had it not been for the obique
direction of the missile the result would have been
serious; as it was, it only produced slight contu-
sion just at the external edge of the right scapula
James Joyce fled without pursuit, and was not
arrested.
