The Duelio.-For week OF SO past, rumor
was circulated far and wide that the Hon. Charles
J. Faulkner, member elect TO Congress, from
Virginia, and Colonel A. R. Boleler who his
opponent in the late canvass were in this vicinity
for the purpose of settling their difficulties by a
resort 10 the "code of honor" From what we
have heard, we presume that hostile meeting
was contemplated; but we now have the pleasure
of announcing that by the Intervention of friends,
the "cause of quarrel" has been removed, and the
affair "honorably and satisfactorily adjusted"

III Sick Headache Kemedy.-A remedy tor
the sick headache, which has been entlyofered
the public, attracting great attention, only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are SO great number of people who are af-
hicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his 'srem-
edy,"is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard oft.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor il receives and that il will
prove 10 be a great benefit 10 all who may give il
a trial.-Lyna Nercs December %, 1853.
