Concord, Oct. 26. — Tuesday evening there occurred a shooting affair just above the city in which several colored people figured. It seems that John HOUSTON saw his daughter and a negro named Earnest SCOTT together and opened fire on them with a shotgun, shooting several times. The girl was shot about the face and SCOTT was shot in the face, legs and hands. SCOTT was arrested and he had two pistols. Neither was badly injured.
