COMMUNICATED.
"The report al young Handy, being killed
m "a duel, is not true. A statesent from His

I" his relative in this city, states, that this no
bile spirited youth took a challenge from his
relation, r. H.. Price, Esq. TO Mr.. Samuel
Perry, Senator of that place. Perry made
use ofvery harsh language TO Mr.. Handy, in
his own house: calling him a liar and rascal.
Young Handy left his house,, aud replied, he
was scoundrel. Perry caught up pistol,
and as Handy turned to leave his house, sh OF
him through the body. A gentleman sup
ported him across the street, to Mr.. Prices
house, where he expired in one hour, per-
fecily resigned-his last words being I" Oh !

cedentrd-has plunged a family in the most

with MIR. Rodney, was Sentlemanly and "tfi-
cer-like. Phil. Press.
