sCJ"A correspondent at Clarendon has been kind
enough TO furnish us with correct account Of the

by this account that it was Mr. Harris Stuart, who
lost his life iustood of Levi his brother. stu

may remark that the father of the unfortunate
young man has distinguished himself by his humane
and Jealous eXer'ions to prevent several hostile
meetings Of similar character. About twenty
years ago Mr.. Key exerted himself with success,
to prevent a contemplated duel between Mr.. Cal

the last summer he succeeded in arrestig two
young men who had actually left the city for that
purpose. Aud it is well known that on the occn

black eye, fair brow, shadowed by very

an everlasting flow of vivacity, decided ta-

was altogether one Of those girls with whom
