Capt. A c. Mutt, shot and killed instantly
his fathers slayer, Dukrs, at Uuiontown,
This evening. Dukes had been frequently
warned to leave UnionIown, but be posi-
lively refused. His friends had often ad.
yised him 10 seek another home, and his
answer was always that he would either live
in Uniontown, or be corpse in the ceme
terry. As far blck as last December
Mutt had threatened 10 have Dukes's life, and
the latter had always avoided him. This
evening Mutt was standing short distance
from the postofice, when Dukes came up
Main street. Dukes did not see Mutt until
they were aide by side, when Matt quickly
drew a revolver and fired, the first shot TAX

for the purpose OF seeking shelter, when Mutt

the doorway of the pJstotfice. Young
Mutt followed him up and put two more bull

The DELICATE SURGICAL OPERATION sue
cessfully undergone in Boston last week by
General Joshua l.. Chamberlain of Maine,
was rendered necessary by the effects of
wound received during the attack on Peters
burg, Va, June IS, 1861 A bullet passed
completely through his body, from hip to
hip, but without fracturing any bones. 1t
pierced hia bladder in two places, however,
and the hospital surgeon pronounced the
wound certainly fatal, while he declared that
Colonel Prescott of Massachusetts, who had
been wounded in the same struggle, and lay
on an adjoining cot, would soon recover.
But within half an hour Prescott was dead,
and DIR. M. W. Townsend of New York, eX-
aiming Chamberlain's wound, exclaimed
emphatically, "You shan't die !" He didn't
but it was FIVE months before he could mount
his horse. He was at the final action at APP
pomattox, and the last man killed in the cam
paign was one of his officers, who fell beneath
the last cannon-shot fired by Lees army.
For some months Gen. Chamberlain has been
suffering from serious complications resulting
from the wound referred to. An abscess in
in the abdominal cavity was followed by a
sloughing away of about two inches of the
urethral canal. Natural healing was impossi-
BILE and it was decided to attempt the unpre-
cedented feat of building up the missing sec
ton with tFansplanted flesh, DIR, Warren of
Boston, with two assistants, performed the
operation. The process occupied two hours,
| during which time the patient remained under
| the influence of anesthetics, Gen. Chamber
| lain is now doing WE'LL and every indication
/ points to his speedy recovery from the shock
and weakening effects of the operation.
