Beltsville, on the Washington Railroads; the
principals in hacks, and the seconds and others
in special railroad car, chartered at an ex-
pense of $50. Arrived there, all the necessary
''6xns" for duel were made, with due and
imposing ceremony, according to the ''code OF
honor"-the principals were assigned their sta
tons, the seconds took theirs,-and we pre-
sumo, also the surgeons-whe the word to
fire was given and Immediately obeyed, fortu-

Fire. The lumber yard of Allison s. Low,
on West Falls Avenue, near Pratt st. bridge,
was fired last night about O'Clock, and lum-
Der to the amount of $500 consumed. The
fire companies were soon upon the spot, and by
their prompt and energetic action succeeded in
combining the fire to 4 small circle. The wind
at the time was blowing quite fresh, and fears
were entertained that great amount of pro-
perty would be destroyed, but owing to the
plentiful supply of water, and as above stated
the activity Of our uneXampled fire depart
ment, the flames were soon subducd. We learn
the loss is covered by insurance
| Daring .4ttempt at McendariSm. Last night
about o'clock, FIRE was discovered in the
counting room of 'Niles Register" office,
owned and occupied by jeremiah Hughes, ESQ.,,
and but for the prompt action of the neighbor-
ing citizens would doubtless have consumed
the entire establishment. The partition con-
nected with the room was dcsignedly set on
! fire by some heartess miscreant, as there had
been 10 fire kept in the room for some time
past. The loss of Mr.. Hughes, the worthy
and industrious proprietor, will be very heavy,
as the files of his valuable journal were entire
ly burned, or so much injured as to render
them unfit for use We regret to learn there
was no insurance.
Serere Injury. We regret TO learn that the
elder son OF DR.. F. l.. Grammer, had his right
hand severely injured yesterday afternoon, by
the machinery III a factory on President street.
His thumb is much acerated. DIR. Dunbar was
called in, and having applied all necessary
means for his relief, it is hoped nothing serious
will result from it.
Juvenile Offenders. That there are number
of little boys and girls that practice the art of
pilfering from store doors, there can be no
doubt And our neighbor Loveioy, seems to
enjoy large share of their attention. Last
evening, soon after dark, a boy, about l2 years
of age, was caught attempting to extract silk
gloves from MIR. Lovejoy's store, by drawing
them through the bolt hole in the window, by
means of wire. In consequence of his age,
he was set at liberty. Why have we not
place of confinement suited to such offenders.
Matters of Complaint. The assembling of
gentlemen at<the intersection of public tho
roughfares, eind upon the sidewalks, are fire.

smoking of cigars upon the streets. Will gem

The Independent aud Vigilant Fire Companies.
The question has been frequently asked US of
late what was meant by the "Coon Hunters"
of the Vigilant, and the "Regulars" of the In
dependent Fire Company, which at the time
we were not able to answer satisfactorily. We
have ascertained from the proper quarters that
they are body Of young men, active MEM
bers of their respective comRsnies, who, for
the better observance of order, activity and
promptness at fires, have formed themselves as
"minute men" into distinct associations, 60
verned by code of laws entirely disconnected
from their regular companies. One of the fea
lures of their government is that if any men,
