/ The Boston Gazette Of the 9Th inst. contains
the following statement Of one of the-partes in
the late duel which took place near Boston:
Ny name is Guillaume Raymond. i am a
sailor by profession, and was born in the north Of
France. The name of the wounded man is Cell
estin husson, ships cook, from the south of
| France. We were together this morning, at
about III o'clock, at drug store in Purchase
street. While there we had dispute, which
originated in his assertion that better soldiers
came from the south of France than from the
north. We had some words, but were interrupt
ed by two other Frencllmen who were present,
who said that we had better not dispute, but take
drink. We went accordingly, and took glass
| Of porter Recurring to the dispute, he proposed
to fight me. ! said, "No, you are too old; it
fight with you" He said, 'sNo, must take u
cutlass and fight with him" | replied that
never learned to fight with cutlass, and there
fore would not. s'Wel," said he, yesterday
you bought brace of pstols-take one, and let
me have the other. It is to be seen whether you
have better heart than myself" | said, "Yes;
come cut in the country, and ! will fight with
you" He said, 'Well, we will take these two
Frenchmen along fer witnesses" We went to
the Sailors Home, and took the pistols and load
ed them. My second took the pistols down stairs
but the sailors in the house, hearing Of the dis
tsrbance, took them away from him.
Russon then said, eff you will fight me, come
4
money to buy them" We went and bought the
pistols. / paid for them; we then walked out
over the bridge, IL o., the mill danrS, said to
him, "Here is my dirk knife--take it, for do not
wish to be in danger Of using it." He took it;
we walked; we had long walk, for there were
houses about us constantly; we came to the rail
road bridge, and jumped down under it, he threw
the dirk knife on the ground; fired at post
twice without hitting it; he did the same; we
shook hands with each other; we kissed each
other with kiss; we opened our vests we
measured five PAGES each; he gave the word,
"One! two! three fre!'' We fred; his ball
passed over my head; my bali went clean through
his coat and vest without injuring him. He then
said ''You damned son. &c. &c., you have muir
dered me-" He threw stone, which passed
over my head; took the dirk knife from the
ground, and with it wounded him in the side.
Such was the story as the young man told US,
in a tone of evident honesty pervading his re-
counting We have only to add that Dr.. T. E.
Francis, of Brookline, who was called to the
wounded mans relief, stated that he was simply
wounded in left rib, and would in a few days
be materially better. Constable Lyford took both
parties to Roxbury to undergo judicial investi-
CATION.

" Sick Headache Remedy.-A

II Sick Headache Remedy remedy for
the sick headache which has been recently offered
tothe public is attracting great attention. not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
it's efficacy which have been volunteered by many

Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system be
follows TO facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language, unites In due proportion theory and
practce by which are avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one ofihe
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomatlca part of the language, or prac.
tical one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, at least far too much are
neglected In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time TO the mere me-
morizng of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number Of set phrases valuable ii is
true, but frdU (which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown

The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting bis method. may, with
a little effort after course of forty eight lessons,
understand aud speak the French, and find the as
sistance Of teacher not necessary In the further

for the purpose, as he avowed, of engaging full

for alderman in the late municipal election. His
object, 1t became apparent, in the course of his
operations, was to replenish his own pockets; and
il was discovered, by his subscription paper,
which was taken away from him by alderman
who had contributed literally that he had 'diddled'
