Heavy Rain.--In portions of Lancaster
and Chester counties, the rain of Wednes-
day morning amounted to almost flood.
So much water fell, that along the Penn
sylvania railroad below Parksburg, the
deep bitches each side of the track were
insufficient to convey away the water, which
spread over the rails compelling the trains
to proceed with much caution.

~ Curious Egg. - Mrs. Gallatin of this
borough, last week broke a large egg in
which was found another perfect in every
respect, the inner shell being as strong as
usual and the contents about the same in
quantity as though not surrounded in that
singular manner. The outer egg had also
the ordinary amount of white and yolk.

A Feminine Fight came off in the cars
OF the Pennsylvania railroad, at Harris
burg on last Wednesday morning, just as
the Fast~Line was leaving that depot. A
young woman who had been occupying
seat, left the cars for refleshment and re-
turned to find it occupied by woman
and little girl. The woman refused to
rellnqnish the seat, at the request of the
former occupant, who at once proceeded to
dispossess her by force. Clothing suffered
somewhat, and chignons were below par in
less time than it takes to tell it, when, a
gentleman sitting opposite interfered,
and stopped the fight Offering his seat
The young woman would however take
none except the one which she formerly
had, and the woman and little girl, by
the advice of the passengers, took an
other seat, leaving the amable young
woman in possession of the coveted place.

No Shad.-The case of the Commonwealth
VS.. the Penn'a Canal Company is well
known as the Susquehanna Shad case"
In the Dauphin court it was decided that
under the then existing laws the company
could not be compelled to alter it's dams
for the passage of fish, and this judgement
has been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
The fish steps made in the Columbia dam
will be permitted to remain as they now are
by which stray shad may possibly ascend !;
but catching shad in "the Blue Juniata"
is evidently played out.

Full Particulars of the Late Indian Raid Near Tucson, With Accounts of More Recent 0utrages.

Under date of February 6, 1870, cores pondent at Tucson, Pima county, writes as follows:
 On the first of February, there occurred, 9 miles from this place another of those Apache outrages with which we are familiar, but which still never fail to curdle the blood when brought to notice.
 On the 3lst of January there left Tucson an ambulance, containing Captain Barry, wife and child, and Lieutenant Adams, wife and child, with three Government wagons, en route for Fort Yuma. They camped, that night, at the point of the mountain, l7 miles from here, and next morning resumed their journey. After travelling some nine or ten miles, the ambulance, with six or eight cav alrymen, for escort, being some four hundred yards ahead of the wagons, the Apaches- some twenty-five in number-attacked the wagons from an ambush on the side of the road, and run off the teamsters, with the ex- ception of one named Magee, who, being sur rounded, fought brayely, although mortally wounded, and with his phip, forced his way through the throng of sayages, escaped and was afterwards found by the road side, by the driver of the U. s. Mail, and brought in ! to the station at the point of the mountain, where he died, after giving full account of the fight.
 The Apaches also killed two discharged soldiers who were in the wagons While this tragedy was being enacted, the officers, from : distance, observed it all, and when Corporal Smith Ca brave Indian fighter, in charge of the squad of cavalry), turned to go back to the rescue of his companions the commanding officer peremptorily ordered him to guard the ambulance, and set off at full speed for the next station--Buewater. The | Apaches got, as fruits of their victory, some fourteen or fifteen mules, and all the baggage etc, in the wagons, besides killing three men | So we go, near Tucson.
 One week ago the Apaches attacked Mir Solomon Warner, an old resident of thi: town, while he was going from Santa Cru1 to Masdalena, and killed a Dr. Wakefield who was with Mir. w., but Mir. Warner man aged to make his escape to Ynuris, with foul balls in his arm, most probably fatally wound ed, as he is quite an old man.
 Two or three days ago, the Apaches killed a Mexican near Florence, putting two ol three balls and thirty or forty arrows into hi' body.
 forgot to mention that in the Apaeh, fight hear the Picacho, the teamster who Wa killed said there was | rkite man with th, band. Yours, SAMMY.

PROSPECTING ExPEpITIoS-We are told that large party will leave here next spring on prospecting trip to Arizona. The in- pression appears to be (we do not know upon what authority), that there are as good pla- cer mines in Arizona as ever were found in California. Plenty of men can be found to go down to tho " suspected" regions and take the chances in spite of all the Comanches, Apaches, or other hostile Indian trbes.-Tir. ginia (Necadd) Enterprise.
 Although it is our most earnest desire to have people come here, we have no hesitancy in declaring that all who may come here, ex. pecting to find as good placer mines as ever were found in California, will be badly dis appointed. We have them not, but, in lieu thereof, we have more, and richer, quartz mines than either Nevada or California, and pretty good facilities for working them. The placer diggings pay those who work them fair wages, but the chances for making 'piles' in them are slim. Of course, we mean those already discovered.
