Shipe. of Baltimore, and Charles Biedter, formerly of Page county, but now a salesman in the wholesale boot and shoe house of Patterson & Bash, Balti- more. All the parties are in the habit of spending their summers in Page county having country residences within a few of town. It seems that between Mr. Biedler and the Shipe boys there had been a misun- derstanding for some time. On Monday evening they met in Luray, aud after some words an altercation ensued, in whieh, after the passage of blows on both sides, Mr. ler was shot, the bullet striking a button on his pants and produc‘ng a coutused wound on the side of the abdomen. The shooting is alleged to have been done by Fia ik Shipe, who. with his brother, was arrested and car- ried before Justices Grove and Berrey. who ‘sent him on to the county court for trial. In the case of Claude Shipe the examination Was waived. Bail was refused in both cases. Mr. Biedler, although suffering from his wound, is not thought to be seriously hurt — {Page ( Va.) Courier.

Malle COBB'S ISLAND oa DTHE Corn’s ISLAND, Va., July 25th, 1 Edivor Star:—Atter a sojourn of two week at this charming summer resort we have y voted cur excursion a grand suecess. Every member of the party has improved in bealth and strength, and our sporis have been varied and Interesting. But before giving you au account of our fishing ava bunting it may be well to say a word about the Island and its ionaitants. Al- ‘hough several Washingtonians h eve visited here, comparatively little 1s Kaown of the island or Its surroundings. It was formerly known as the “SAND SHOAL ISLAND,” as such was granted in 174, by George Il,to one Fabin. The parchment grantis Low in possession of Old Man Cobb, the rietor, Who purchased the prop- 2 ISSs of the granddaughter of the origt- ne'eran'ee. At the date of the purchase tre whole island was subject to overflow, at high Uce, bul Low there ure some fifty acres in culuivalion—with shade and fruit trees, graye vines, &c ,and two wharfs leading out into a safe barbor, wherea large number of smnall boats are anchored. The island lies exactly 18 mil.s northeast of Cape Charies lighthouse, and the approach can be made either through inlets between the main laud and the acjacent islands, or (in good weath- er) by the ocean route, which was the one chosen by our ged @ most delightfal passage we bad. The sea was so smooth that bo member of the party felt the slightest nauser. Between the island aud the main land (Nortbampton county) is a beaatiful bay, seven iniles across, which gt low tide presents @ vast Dumber of Small islauds or flats filled with wild fowl of ati kinds feed- ing on What the tides may have thrown up. Oo the north lies Hog Island with its promi- it lightwouse, aod on thescun Smith's 4 ligh:house is plainly to be seen. Boae ud, Wrees Istand, and many other ijands are in sight, and are visited every day by some of our party for hunting and fishing. THE S(TUATION, PRO AND CON.

For sevea miles it is equal to ay io the world, and it is graduated by bature from the slightest and greatest, i which children can ba:he W th perfect Safety, to the heaviest, breaking i. some places ata height of ten feet, witha b sandy beach as smooth as a floor, and rely free from any undertow. Toe build- ings consist of the principal hotel and six or eight other build!ngs scattered around with- ovt any reference to order, and all of which seem to be falling into decay, owing, it 1s said here, to a family disturbance among the Cobb brothers, (tnree in number,) to whom the old man Cobb had given the control of the property. There are some dozen fam!. lies living on the island, 'y much all connected in some way, and forming @ com- Mmunity of the roughest material I ever saw congregatrd. The men are engaged in fish- ing and bunting forthe markets, and when nol otherwise employed, gather at the ten- Pin aliey or loaf around an adjoining bar- room.

But enough of the i: laud and islanding you will say—what of your party? Our schosaer came to anchor in the bay, but we afver- wards “tied up” to the wharf, where we have been entirely comfortat le in spite of several days storm and rain, until last night, when thé mosquitoes, for the first time, assailed us Most viillainously. To-day we shall come to an anchor again in the bay, aud thus avoid -the pestis. We have splendid sport both fish- ing and shooting, but no exact account of eliher has been kept by the party. It is esti- mated that we have captured about 2.500 fish of all kinds, and killed about 500 birds, of the snipe family. Hence, you may know that we bave been living high. One day we had an exciting time in har, ing sharks. Our boat's ed consisted of Mr. Elkana Cobb, Major Boot jttle, Mr. Durval! and myself, a: the’ result of the day’s sport was six sharks, Ubree of them iep fet in length, and averu: ing 3(01bs.each. Mr. Cobb threw the first har- poon and struck the largest shark, and the en raged beast in his agony at our boat, and by a single bite tore side of the boat until tt looked as if raked by a load of pace ene hs poeeorsgpanee f ia rowing the harpoon with accuracy, aud se- cured sine large shark that fought despe- rately. Altogether, it was the best day’s sport we have had.
