From the cOrsackis Newal
A Blysterious AGair-A Young Indy
Shot By an Uniknown Man.

Last Sunday night abeut twelve
o'clock, DIR. Greene of this village was
aroused from his slumbers by an urgens
call to see a young lady who had been
shot by an unknown person, and was
supposed to be in a dying condition.
The young lady-Miss Emma Greene
is about nineteen years ofage, dangh-
ter of Mr.. Philip Greene, living about
four miles from this village, in the
town of New Baltimore. About nine
o'clock she went into the yard to watch
a swarm of bees, and sheltered herself
behind Towering locust growing near.
While in this position she heard wag-
on approaching, but did net look up to
see who it might contain. An instant
after, she heard the report of a gun or
or pistol, felt q twinge ofpain, and, look
ing up, saw man sitting in q wagon,
when she swooned away. When con-
sciousness returned, the man, stranger,
was standing over her, dashing water
into her face. He protested his inno-
cence of any intent to injure her, and
said he shot at bird. He helped her
into the house, and went away without
calling any assistance, and Miss Greene
is unable in any way to describe his
features, clothes, or conveyance. de
must have driven directly to Coxsackle,
for DR.. Hachenberg, (who dressed her
wounds about an hour after) gave her
this explanation of his presence, being.
also stranger: He said stranger ac-
costed him in the street, and inquired
for physician. DR.. H. told him he was
o member of the profession, when the
man sent him on to attend the case,
paying him in advance. The Doctor
said he did not know the man who en-
ployed him, and the last he saw of him
he went up street through the upper
village.
The ball, (probably from the pistoD
passed directly through the left forearm
between the bones, passed into the flesh
of the chest, not penetrating the cavity,
but making its exit about four inches
from the point of entrance. DR.. H. told
Miss G. he did not think she would need
more attention, and if she did, he could
not attend, as he had to go to Washing
ton that afternoon. The Doctor left her
as he found her, alone, and it was not
until nearly p. NJ, when her father re-
turned, that any one but the stranger
who committed the deed, and the Doc
tor, who attended, of the affair. Some
of the neighbors heard the shot, but sup
posed it was some one hunting. Miss G.
knows of no enemy who could commit
snch an act, and no one but she and DIR.
Hachenberg have seea the perpetrator-
be he guilty or innocent. Altogether it
is very mysterious and rather suspi-
cious affair, and the public will wait
anxiously to have it cleared up.
