DUEL roR LovE.-Extract.o of letter from Gs-
ult.:--

between Messrs. Hill and Gregory. appears that
from the Dutch Church. Hill also wanted to see
her home; he became angry with G., and chal.
lengcd him to fight duel with pistols upon which
u. accepted the challenge.
They met on Wednesday at the Brewery on the
beach Of the Lake, precisely at four o'clock. The
seconds were chosen, and the ground measured;
the pistols were loaded by the seconds, and handed
to them. They fired-but neither fell. The Sc
cends reloaded, and the dselists fired, but all the
shooting was without effect, the seconds loaded
only with powder and wadding.
This affair, ridiculous il is shameful, is rem
dered more remarkable by the statement that one
Of the comeatants is theological student, and the
secosd of the other was bishops son!
