FATAL DUEL.-A duel was fought about six miles
above Louisville the Indiana side Of the river,
the 14th inst, between Capt Henry c. Pope and John
T. Gray both lawyers Of Louisville, which resulted
in the death of Pope, the challenging party. They
fought with sho-guns loaded with single balls, dis
lance twenty PAGES. The guns fred near sim
ultaneously, and Captain Pope FELL the ball passing
through the upper part of bis thigh, breaking the
bone. and entering the other thigh. A bed was pro-
cured and placed in a small boat. and the wounded
ma laid the bed and brought down the river,
but before the boat reached Louisville he expired.
Thus another is added TO the long list Of victims to
that bloody code which had hoped public opinion
had long since condemned and abolished. The laws
of our State have been violated and the proper
tbories will doubtless lake prompt measures to bring
the survivor Of the bloody tragedy, and bis accom-
pices. to justice.

Climate of California.

We have received meteorological table
OF the weather and thermometer at Mon
terey' Upper California, kept by Talbot II
uteene' Esq a merchant at Monterey, du
Ilng the space of year, viz: from March
lo45, to February, 1916. From these
tables, pretty good idea may be formed
oil the climate of California.
In March, 1916, the thermometer aver
aged O5 at noon. There was no rain; the
sky generally clear.
In April, same degree of heat five rainy
days, four foggy, the others clear.
In May, the thermometer at noon never
rose higher than "a, and never fell lower
than AZ, weather clear.
-. In June, the highest MONDAY heat was
10, the lowest 60; weather clear.
In July, the highest heat at noon "a:
lowest 60; clear sky.
In August, greatest heat at noon p
lowest 63; clear skies.
In September, greatest heat at noon 70 :.
lowest 6l; clear Skies occasional fogs
at eight in The morning; rain once only.
In october, greatest heat at noon 20.
lowest on; togs in the morning days clear;
ram three times within this month"; little
ram IN the night on two occasions.
In November, greatest heat Sc; lowest
%; weather clear; rains in the night occa.
sionaIly.
In December, greatest heat &C; lowest
b! clear weather; rain on four different
nights this month
,...! IN January, 1876, greatest heat g..
former months.
In February, average heat at noon 60
lowest 60; clear skies rain on three diff
ferent nights
A pretty general idea may be formed
from this Of the climate as to warmth. 1t
appears to be remarkably mild and temper
ate. This is the result of the facts, not the
conclusion of mere opinion,
