FATAL RENCoNTRE At HARRISBURG, PA
slip from the Office of the Harrisburg Chronicle,
dated January 26, gives the following account Of
the tragical death OF Mr.. Prince of that city: =
For some weeks past a difficulty has existed be-
tween Mr.. Joseph r. Prince, a merchant and Mr..
Thomas r. II. Loud, attorney at law 1t APP
pears that Mr.. ?. had entrusted Dir. l.. with Some
legal business, which was transacted BY the latter
but On their settlement serious dispute occurred
between them, ndthey separated aftera lengthy and
angry conversation. This was about two weeks
since, and the subsequent endeavors of mutual
friends to adjust the difficulty proved unayailing.
This morning, at about II O'Clock, the parties
met near the corner of Third and Walnut streets
and Mr. Prince enqured of Mr. Loud as TO the truth
of certain derogatory language which he (Nlr. P.)
had understood MIL. had made respecting him. The
latter denied his right to question him, and was
about to move on, when Mr.. p; who was armed
with heavy welking stick caught him by the col
lar and applied his cane to the shoulders of Mr. L.
Before he had struck the third blow, Mr.. Loud drew
a double barrelcd pistol, took deliberate aim, and
fired Both balls entered the body of his antago-
mist, just below the left Breast causing instant
death
A large crowd was soon collected, and the now
lifaless corpse OF the unfortunate man conveyed
to his home, which near the spot. An eye
witness informs us that the scene witnessed on
reaching his home, was truly narrowing, and alas.
we can too easily credit it.
Mr.. Loud immediately gave himself up and is now
undergoing an examination.

HINTS ON POPPING THE QUESTION
BY col. CARTER.

To the bashful, the hesitating and
the ignorant, the following hints may
prove useful.
If you call on the "loved one," and
observe that she bushes when YOU ap-
proach, give her hand agentle squeeze,
and if she returns it "all right" get tho
parents out Of the room, set down on
the sofa beside "the most adorable of
her sex," and talk of the joys Of the
welded life. If she appears pleased,
rise, seem excited, and at once ask her
TO say the important, the life-or-death-
deciding, the suicide or happiness-set-
Ting question. If she pulls out her
cambria, be assured you are accepted.
Call her "My darling Fanny"' "My
own dear creature" and few SUCH
like names, completes the scene. Ask
her to name the day, and fancy your
self already the happiest of men.
A good plan is to call on the "object
Of your affections" in the forenoon
propose a walk-mamma consents, in
the hope you will declare your inten-
tions.-Wander through the green
felds-talk of''love in a cottage" "re-
Quilted attachment" andrural felicity"
If child happens to pass, Of course in
innate your fondness for the dear little
creatures---this will be a splendid
hit. If the coast is clear, down you
must fall ON your knee, right or left,
there is no rule for this,) and swear
never to rise until she agrees to take
you "for better and for worse" If
however the grass is wet, and you have
white ducks on, or if your unmentlon-
ables are tightly made-of course you
must pursue another plan--say you
will blow your brains out, or swallow
arsenic, or drown yourself, if she
won't say eyes"
II you are alta party, and yourcharm-
err is there, captivating all around her,
get her into corner and "popthe qucs-
ton" Some delay until after tea, but
"delays are dangerous--round hand
copy"

LANCASTER, w. T, SATURDAY, JULY 90, 1874

From HAvANA.-A letter from Ha-
vana via Savannah, states that in con-
sequence Of the severe drouth lately
experienced on the Island of Cuba, the
Captain General issued decree on the
18th inst. reducing the rates of duty one
half on the following articles, to take
effect on the 7th July ensuing, and
continue in force till the 3lst Deem
Der next: Rice Corn and Corn Flour,
and making Sweet Potatoes, Vans, and
Plantains, duty free for the same period.
From another source we have the
following letter:
HAVANA, Sth June, 1874.
You have been rightly informed rel
alive to our negro troubles-the free
negroes are leaving the Islands in
crowds. There are but five mulattoes
left. Blakely the dentist, the yellow
musicians and artisans, are still in Jail
You may rest assured that upwards of
three Thousand are in Jail; and all the
foreigners are leaving or have gone;
the regiment Of free negroes has been
disbanded.
The Government is holding out eve
ny inducement for encouraging the en-
| igration Of white laborers from Spain
and the Canary Islands. The execu-
ton Of the negroes has not commence
ed yet--in the mean time they are
whipping them into confession. II
seems also that upon the failure OF the
conspiracy intended for the Holy
Week, another was in preparation to
commence 9th May last; but was nip.
ped in the bud.
Among the conspirators they mum
bered some white persons-they were
also to be shot. Sixty benches are G.
rected on the place of execution for the
purpose Of shooting that number at
time.
