ANOTHER SAD AFFAIR.

Another Of ho.c catascphes frequent Of late In New
rJus,d by The miserable hsbi, Of carving conceded
weapons. Ii Is Seldom indeed that occasion arises
wherein is unsuitable in using deadly weapon but
the habit Of carrying them creates bullying, Qustelsome
Disposition and for little cause, in the heat Of pas
sion, the life o innocent IL taken, leaving the
yivne party in piiiable condition than the dead
The suresi way 10 avoid such msopes never to carry
deadly weapon unless openly, when expects to be
assaulted by an assassin or highway robber.
The following the particulars which VIC have collect
ed relative To the melancholy affair OF yesterday. Mr.
Pierre Trepagnicr had quarrel Mt coiiec house IN the
iaubourg IRENE, with young man named brnneau, IN
which harsh words used aud Trepagner gave BTr
neau blow. Tho latter In an instant drew his dirk and
attempted to stab his antagonist But Trepsgner avoided
the weapon. and persuaded to withdraw. lie had
proceeded about half when he looked behind and
Bruncau advancing lie turned snd warned his ad-
versary not To s,rike-making motins with his cane TO
protect himself. Bruncau paid attention to this
ing, but seized swordcsne from one o the bystandes,
drew the steel and inflicted wound upon the unfortunate
rIepagnicr who fell dead upon the spot. Bruneaa
immediately arrested aud lodged IN prison.
Such is the Of this affair with which we have
been furnished by PERSONS who appear be acquainted
with the circumstances II ;he statement be in any
speet inaccurate ready To correcti it,
IL most distressing result ct unresained cholorthe
situation Of the living antagonist being pitisbe than
that OF the dead. Both sustained respectable characters
and belonging good taulios--Snd they stsuneh
riends before this uuhSIowed occurrence. May
crctual warning against the carrying Of deadly
poos aud the unbrdled indulgence OF angry feelings!
There tour individuals, heretoose OF good stand
ing this community, confined in prison and charged
with murder and ii remarkable thet the misfortune
li be so the crime Of each one OF them may be
directly aserbcd tue habit OF carrying deadly weapons,
Ia wit; Doctor Kennedy, an E1slishmanA. HstTisson,
FrenchEan-E. II. Hatch, Auisuean-and, lastly.
Bcrneau. Creole. But for the wrsiehed ami useless
habit OF which have spoken, those persons, now in
dungeons, awaiting lgnonlnous doom, wrald be free
aud happy-enoyng the society Of their friends and T.la
tvss, aud perhaps living peace and am,y with the very
individuals whom they have sent 10 an unimely grave.
