Dubuque, Iowa, on Saturday even
ing, the lIth inst. A young man
named Harlin. employed as clerk
in Mr.. Thedinga's drug store, on
that evening called the attention OF
Mr.. T., to a liquid which he was
heating in a ladle at the stove. On
Mr.. Thedinga's looking up, Harlin
dashed the contents in his face-the
liquid was the oil of vitrioll George
Slrasser. a young man in Mr.. The
dinga's employ, sprang forward be-
tween Harlin and his victim, when
the rufin dashed into his face the
contents of a phial of the same burn
ing liquid. At first it was supposed
that the young man must have been
laboring under a fiji of insanity, but
the discovery OF his dead body the
next morning, on a common near
the town, with the following note
upon his person, showed that the di-
abolical outrage perpetrated by him
was p.eneditated. 1t is supposed
that the wretched young man COM
mitted suicide by taking prussic acid:

Two Duellists.

The Chronicle of Western Literature
tells the following story OF a Col. Wheat
ly. l. ma, be- old but il is good. The
Colonel, during a short 5olourn in Vlcks-
burg, met there some hot blooded South
erners, with spirit as fiery as his own.
They quarrelled--a challenge was pas
sed and accepted, and the next rising
sun was to witness one, il not both, OF
their dead bodies, drenched IN blood, 10
wash out wounded honor. During the
night, the Colonel said be heard boat
coming up the river, and II struck him,
as he heard the boat pulling and blow
ng, that prudence was the better part OF
valor. So he took his lruuk upon his
shoulder, and stepped in the dead OF the
night, very quietly out of the hotel. As
he neared the boat, whom should he see
but his antagonist, al the boat before him.
Just going abroad He returned as he
had gone out, and was on the ground
next morning, with his second, waiting
with disappointed wrath, for his antago'
mist, and published him as an abscond
ing scoundfel.

says an eyewitness. We take the account
of 1t from a letter in the 7riJune:-

sir, and drove with her to the Fdls-lhat
IS, Tom Higgins drove, but sat on the
box -" And was she pleased p Yes,
sir only when she was going to see the Falls
everybod, IN the hotel ran to the door TO
look at her, SO she went back to her room,
aud then slipped out of the back door. But
there was something better than that, sir. -
" hat was that -" She paye Tom liig-
gins fifty dollars when he drove her back -
But there was something better than that
sir -" Indeed What was that -
Why, sir, as NE came back, we passed a
little wood and she stopped the carriage
aud stepped out with the rest of the party,
and Tom Higgins aud |, aud went into the
wood. 1t was toward sunset, audt6e wood

began To sing loud. She sings some, sir
aud II sounded a great ways. But before
she stopped, "a huie bird came and sat upon
a bpugh close b, us. saw It, sir, with ms
