A DIfEI, "Wednesday eyeri,

A DuEL.-On Wednesday evening
last, two parties of men came to our
town in different carriages, and stopped at
different Hotels There was an apparent
strangcness in their actions; conference
was held by one from eeeh party about
II o'clock that night; they cnquircd how
lore dayl ght in the morning they all start
ID in that direction. All these things Ia
ken together cXcit d II suspicion that a
duel was about to be fought, and some Of
our citizens Started after them, but did not
come up with them. We learn by a gen.
lcman who was in Wilm ngton that day,
that they passed through that city, and
that one of the was seriously wounded.
Rumor says they we're from New
York; and that thcy fought just this side
of the Delaware line, but docs not tel us
who they were or, what the quarrel was;
cannot BcmcH'o of the HcraId find out
Something about the matter and let us
know?
One of the company was called, Moore
and another Goldsmith, but we suppose
they were assumed names.
Since the above was in type we have
been told by Mr.. Eudulph agent at tic
Fail Road, that Il gentleman passing i'll
the cars yesterday, enqurcd Of him iGtt
duel had been fought in this neighbour
hood. lie said one Of! the parties was 4
southern gentleman by the name Of Hay
ward, an intimate acquaintance of his; and
the other IA Gcrnian Jew, an agent for the
Rohchilts-that Hayward had been i'll
suited by the German and had .HchcL
him, that the German had since chal-
!cnged him, and that they had come to
the ncighborhood Of Elkton to fight. Hay,
ward, he said wore very large mlstachcS,
which agrees with one of those who stop
ped here, ard it is said he, shot the other,
hence it seems .Hpnh"Cr is 'lickcd' again

Blackstone tells us that Chequer, or ES-
chequer, is so called "lrom the chequered cloth
resembling chess board, which covers The
table there; and on which, when certain of the
Kings accounts are made up, the sums are
marked and scored with couners," and the
Court of Exchequer obtains that name be>
cause "the primary and original business Of
ie, to call the Kings debtors 10 account"
Our BOARD Of Excheguer," 1t will be OBJ
served, has faculties extending far beyond auy
