An officer who, according to report, was kill-
ed in a duel at the Bois de Boulogne, was lately
buried with the greateft funeral pomp. This offi•
cer, it is faid, was one of General °ultimo-es
Aides-du-Camp, and a native of Livonia, called
KNORING. His antagonift was an Hanoverian
Gentleman, of the name of H—. They fired
four (hots each • the thot which proved fatal en-
tered the right fide, pierced the heart, and lodged
in the ribs of the left fide, from which it was ex-
tratted after his death. This young officeris ex-
tremely regretted on many accounts, but particu-
larly his extraordinary valour. He was of a no-
ble and very ditlinguiffied family in Livonia. It
has been mentioned that this duel 'was the refult
of an old quarrel at College, which took place
fifteen years ago.

Tim le, and confifts in sprinkling a few handfuls
of tilt over a quintal of (lacked lime. It has the
advantage of not being. at all expenfive, and the
effea of rt is to deilroy infeds and prevent the per-
nicious effeet of thofe damps which frequently pe-
netrate walls to a confiderable depth.
