Rr We learn that a duel came OIL

ES We learn that a duel came off
near Lafayette, KY, last Tuesday week.
One of the combatants had his lacerated
honor patched up with piece of his
own ear, which was unfortunately
severed from his head by loaded mes
senger from his adversary's Derringer
No further damage was done. The
belligerants ''made friends" and re-
turned to their peaceful homes" and,
we suppose, "took horn"

WHEELING, Va, Sept. !, 1858.
Mr.. BAsCoM:-I am solicited by an
English woman to write to you for the
purpose of assisting her to gain infor-
nation Of her father, John Wetherhill,
Bramwell Grove, near Caterpore, Ohio.
Mr.. Wetherhill, from letters to his
daughter, appears to be possessed of a
thousand acres of land, and other
property, and had frequently sent
money to his daughter, in letters of a
supposed friend, which she says never
reached her. She has answers to let
ters which she addressed thus: "John
Wetherhill, Bramwell Grove, near Cat
erpore, Ohio" but see no post-office
of that name in the books for the State
of Ohio Ny own opinion is, that she
has been deceived by designing persons,
so as to get possession of her fathers
property, who is an aged man. =.
By sending me any information you
can gain, you will oblige distressed
woman, and you can command my
services in any business | can transact
for you in this city.
Your obedient serv't.

AMANIAc.-A strange affair occurred
the other day in the Quarter du Pilori,
Anger, France. A woman, whose mind
had become affected from violent sorrow,
fasteaed herself in her chamber, and
stripped off nearly all her clothing
She then went to the window, and, in
the presence of the passers by, stabbed
herself in the breast, and put out her
eyes with her scissors. 1t was with
great difficulty that some persons who
broke into her room secured and con-
veyed her to the hospital.

EwThe New Orleans correspondent

of the n. Y. Tribune says:
The officer in charge of st. Patrick's S
Cemetery informed me that they have
fights every day over the dead Many
of the Irish pull up the pickets of the
fence and bury their dead, without a
certificate or any account taken of them.
Cattle had got into the cemetery and
trampled upon and in the new-made
graves.
At Potter's Field they bury in trench
es, dug from two to two and a half feet
deep. The firing of cannon has been
suspended, as it had an injurious effect
upon the sick, and many had died in
consequence.

without eliciting an "Alasl poor Yor-

the digger of Room for your bettersl'
Economy of space was the source of
cunning calculation in bestowing away
the dead men. Side by side were laid
two, of gigantic proportions, bloated by
corruption to the size of Titans. The
central projections of their cofins left
spaces between them at their heads and
heels. This was too much room to be
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1853-09-15

filed with earth. How should the space
be saved? opportunely the material is
at hand; for a cart comes numbering in,
with the eorpses of mother and her
two little children Chuck the children
in the spaces at the heads and heels OF
the Titans, and lay the mother by her
self out there alonel A comrade for
her will be found anon, and herself and
babes viii sleep not the less soundly from
the unwonted contact!
The fumes rise up in deathly exhala-
tons from the accumulating hecatombs
of fast-eoming corpses. Men wear at
their noses bags of camphor and odor-
GUS spices-for there are crowds there
who have no business but to look on and
contemplate the vast congregation of the
dead. They don't care If they die
themselves-they have become so used
to the reek of corruption. They even
laugh at the riotings of the skeleton
Death, and crack jokes in the horrid at
mpsphere, where scarcely they can draw
breath for utteranee.
The stoical negroes, too, who are
hired at FIVE dollars per hour to assist in
the work Of interment, stagger under
the sitting fumes, and can only be kept
at their work by deep and continued po-
tations of the water" They gulp
deep draughts of the stimulating fluid,
and reeling to their tasks, hold their
noses with one hand, while with the 9th
er they grasp the spade, heave on the
mould, and rush back to the bottle to
gulp again. 1t is a jolly time with these
ebon laborers, and with their white co
workers-as thoughtless and as jolly,
and full as much intoxicated as them
selves.
And thus, what with the songs and
obscene jests of the grave-diggers, the
buzzing of the flies, the singing cries of
the huckster- women vending their con-
feetions, the hoarse oaths of the men
who drive the dead-carts, the merry
whistle of the boys, and the sitting reek
from scores of blackened corpses, the
day wears apace, the work of sepulture
is done, and night draws her curtain.

day to the present. Chacon's statement rcn.
trms our rreconceived notions of this fight
We think II altogether likely there were more
killed of the Indians than Chacou is willing IN
admit; certainly enough to have made them
little shy of the mail. But, 70 r fellows, il
was sad price they paid for the benefit of
others who should travel the road in future
nat Nagon-mound pass ought TO christened
1hernopylG;" for il there be any virtue or
glory IN crimson laurels, there lie at that spot,
IN scarcely noticed graves, few as brave mon
as ever formed subjects for pGan.
Inc damages done at Greenhorn, Chacon
says, were committed by his people in state
oiactual starvation, and they had to have some
thing TO eat or die. They were on a war party
look some green corn, three horses and one
mule. The norses were returned, the mule
was taken away by a Tnbbawa!, and could not
be re urned, but they would account for it.
The mules they had taken from Jemes some
time since, they had returned by Waqun, or
Joquin, who was then present.
The wagons stopped by his people some
time since, he said, were stopped by three of
his band, one OF whom was present. The han-
kets, &c, taken, were given by the drivers of
their own accord.
Such are briefly the statements OF Chacon.-
Doubtless he has made them as favorable to
his people as he we'll could, but, taken in con-
necton with the knoTn facts, we think them
about the most reliable of any We have yet
seen or heard, in regard TO the massacre of
Whites and the mail parties. He is satisfied
that ChIcoyelasques was in both those fights.

HORRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.-The
Hannibal Messenger gives the following &C.
count ola horrible affair which occurred at
Paris, KY, on the 25th ult. A party of young
men were amusing themselves in bar-room
OF the hotel, by pinnng placards on the coats
of each other, when German baker in the
party, pinned card on the coat of young
man named Carter, who Immediately pulled
out bowie knife and cut the German three or
our times in the back, chest and abdomen
1t was thought the German would die in a
few hours. AS soon as the act was perpetraled,
Carter lett his companions and retired 10 bed,
taking with him loaded gun. After he had
been in bed about hall an hour, the Sheriff
went 10 his room to arrest him, when he raised
himself up, placed the muzzle ofthe gun under
his chin, and fired, taking off his chin and
one side of hia face, which is said to have
presented a horrible sight. Carter was not
expected 10 live at last accounts. 1t is sup
posed that remorse for the rash act he had
done was the cause of his attempt at self-de-
struction.
