A klpT on THE lIgTiHxr0uN kAiLRoAD.-
While the Ave o clock train on8he Littlestown
railroad was returning from this place 70
Frederick, after the pfocessiun on Monday
hast, a disSFatafal light occurred between
Hanover and LittlnsmNn. the participants
being parties from laneylown and Frederick,
IN which pistols and knives were freely used.
Two pistol shots were fred, bur fortunately
did not iuiare any ole The knife, however,
was used with more serious results. Mr.
Edwin Haruer Of raneytown, who was not
participant in the Tiotons demonstrations,
had bis left hand nearly severed from the
wrist BY knife iu the hands Of one Of the
rowdies. Il was feared at FIRST that Mr.
Harners injuries would terminate fatally, as
the flow Of blood could not be stopped until
Littlcstown was reached, where the aid OF
DR.. Foyman were procured. when the injured
mans condition improved The physician
states the use OF the thumb and FIRST finger
eAn be saved. Other passengers, whose
names we could not ascertain, were badly,
though not seriously cat and bruised. Inc
shooting, stabbing and knocking down was
participated In by ten or twelve persons, and
represented one OF the most disgraceiul scenes
that has ever occurred in this section to our
knowledge. The car in which the fight oe.
CURED, contained many ladies and children,
and it Is needless to say, they were placed in
very dangerous position. Il is said oGe of
the ladies', in her fright, made an effort to get
from the car through q window, while the
train vas going at rapid speed, snd was
only prevented from doing so BY gentleman
who Glanced to observe her in time. Con
ductor Alex Gitt and other employees Of the
road, did all in their power to quell the dis
turbance, cut all proved ofno avail, until Mr.,
Git stopped the train with the intention OF
returning TO Hanover and securing the arrest
Of those engaged in the melee. At this june
ture some Of the principal ones engaged IN
the disturbance, jumped from the train and
escaped through the fields, and the others in
the car were sileneed by the interference and
assistance Of gentlemen on the other cars--we
understand, conspicuous in this disgracetnl

SINGULAR MIsHAP.-A singular mishap oc-
Cured on Monday night last, on the premises
OF Mr.. Samuel Evefhart, Of this city. His

which was chained in the wagon, q barrel of
eggs and barrel Of butter, left open to give
1t air In the night the calf got to struggling,
and got its feet into the barrel Of eggs and also
INTO the barrel of butter, crushing the con-

place, sometimes upon the ground in hol,

young ones, callow little things that are the
objects Of the watchful care Of the old birds
II IS not safe to intrlsde too near their nest,
for these birds have a habit while soaring in
the air overhead, of eiecting upon intruders
an offensive matter, which makes them glad
to beat hasty retreat.
