We copied from the Pawtucket Chronicle,
or from some New York paper, a statement
that one of the gentlemen engaged in an at
fair Of honor in Rhode Island. had chopped

his tavern bill. Since this we have seen the
tavern bill recchted il .fuH far eign days
at four dollars per diem. amounting to
S32 as pretty piece of composition, as to
price, from the circumstances disclosed to
us, "as onc-would wish to see on summers

much Of duelling, or other custom at that
price, unless he keeps better lardcr, and
stops such advertisements. 10 get wonnd-
