Sometime since, Mr.. H,ury Short. ir., clerk
on Fifth street, became attached 10 a beautiful
Young lady, residing on eight street aud IL whom
he soon engaged himself for marriage MIR.
short about month ngo went IN Philadelphia
on IA visit to his parents, who reside On Chestnut
street, in HAT city. During his absence he
cciged a letter from fcil1w clerk, that his be
trofhed lady love was keeping the company OF
young "limb of the law" named Alexander Pea
cock, now "a resident of Chicago, but IL nltive Of
this city The letter gave Mr.. ). reason tobe-
licec that Peacock and his lady love were engag

him, and defGmed his character tothc young la

the lady, and demanded the same. They both
treated him coldly, and requested Mr.. ;. not 10

lady at the same time returning her engagement

challenge to Mr.. p which was accepted; and ri.
files were chosen as the weapons. Seconds were
appointed, who fixed the place Of meeting and
the time. No persons were present except two
friends of each party and their seconds. At the
first fire no injury was sustained by either OF the
duests. An effort was then nude to reconcile
the difficulty, but neither party would listen IT,
any compromise and the parties ordered
to their post for the second fire. The word was
given, and Mr.. 5. fell bleeding to the ground, the
ball having taken effect in his left shoulder. IIo
was then picked up and carried to Mr.. I'renson's,

Mount Meigs, ON Friday last, received Just and
summary punishment on Saturday hy burning
The known kindness aud AVAILABILITY al his MASTER
and the desperate, unproyoked and wanton malig-

not only justihabie,but necessary as an example
The circumstances, we learn. are these The
doctor. ON returning from day's absence in visi-
ting is patients, learned that the boy Gilbert had
been impertincnt 10 his lady who was confined To
her bedroom by sickness, He attempted to cor
rect him, which the boy resisteda and escaped from
him. The Doctor then went to the stable for the
purpose of getting his horse, and was wavlaid bv
the boy, who was armed with Il heavy billet of
white oak. feled him and continued to beat him
until his face and head were crushed to shape
les, hideous mass which could not be recognized
by his nearest friends. The negro then return
ed 10 the house, hoasting of the murderous deed
he had perpetratedRnd stated that che had killed
the Id rascal, "a he long intended to do and had
left him wetering in his hrans," &c. He was i'm
mediately arrested. and the indignant purpose at
first was to hang him instantly that night Others
urged more drlberation. Runners wctc sent

In reporting the wreck of the Topnze and n

were to be dispatched to their assistance but it
would now appear that only one ventured on the
perous undertaking, and we are glad to say She
has returned in safety, bringing with her not on
" the remainder of the crew aud passengers of
the 'fopazc, but Mr.. and Mrs. MaIlov, passengers

From the Friemd Of china, Jaiy LIST.
TIL" Iopazes Pnnace, with fourteen more of
the llygeia'o passengers, arrived on Thursday
four DAYS from the Pratas. When they left, no
vessel had arrived to their relief. They assert,
that the whole of the passengers have got off the
hull and are on the island hut from the short
interval which has elapsed since the Victoria
left, and the previous unwillingness to assist
each other, the probabilities are that the present
arrivals ran away with the pinnace, with which,
however, the passengers might have been saved,
had Capt. Dibble done his duty as II man and
shipmaster. We hope our anticipations may
prove i'll founded; and shall be rcjoiced to learn
that the poor wretches are really safe ON the is-
