Pistols at 1'Oo Paccs."- The New Or

tween MIR. w. r. Adams of the Courier. who
recently challenged and fought Col. Nixon, of
the Crescent which proceeded that event. =
1t appears that Adams first challenged Col,
John Barton breckenridge, one of the editors
OF the Crescent. Breckenridge promptly ac-
cepted the invitation, and Thomas Z. Adams
wa, chosen as his friend to arrange with Wm.
Z. Williams, the friend of Adams the chal
lenger. Now, it so happened that Brecken-
ridge is afflicted with imperfect vision. a fact
which would place him at considerable dis
count in duel. In order to place him on a
par, therefore, his friend Adams named to
his ehalenger's friend, pistols at two PAGES, y
as the conditions of the fight. Williams in
disnantly rePudiated these terms, and Adams,
the principal, proceeded to seek satisfaction
on Nixon, Breckenridge's associate.

plan, which he had adopted for the last four

means of eamel-hais brush, to the apex OF
each spot or pustule of the disease, on all the
exposed surfaces of the body, until blistering
is evidenced by the witness of the skin in

ES- We publish in another column let
ter from Mrs. Mclean, in answer TO the state
ment We made last week, in relation to her
connection with elder Pratt, which termina-
ted in the death Of Pratt in this county, by the
hands Of Mclean. Mrs Mclean says that a
part Of that statement is not correct, and per-
haps it is not, as we did not give it from our
own knowledge, but upon information we re-
ceved from others. But for the life of us we
cannot see that she has made the matter any
better for herself or Pratt The gist of the
offence as we understand it is, that Pratt Sc
duced her from her fidelity to her husband,
which she does not deny, but says that she
was a Mormon in faith before she ever saw
Pratt. This may be true, but we doubt if
she was his wife either spiritual or physical
until after she made his acquaintance And
this was McLean's complaint against Pratt
and whether the offence was committed in San
Francisco or New Orleans is immaterial. the

very eccentric character has Just taken place
at St. Armand (Nord) foT upwards of TWEEN
ty years she never left her dwelling, and al.
most every day of her life sbs passed several
hours seated in large cistern filled with wa
ter IN her courtyard. She had perfec: at
tipathy to meat, and lived only on frsa AMI
vegetables; and she made her servant, who
was her only companion, do the same, She
could not even bear to allow any person who
had recently eaten meat to approach her. and
when 1t was necessary for her to communi-
cate with workmen and others, she would
only do so on Fridays before twelve O'Clock,
on which days she took it for granted they
aostained from the use Of meat; likewise shs
would never receive a visit from her medical
adviser unless he were fasting. She bull! a
sort of tower at tho entrance OF her courtyard,
and through il admitted her medical nan;
but with all other persons she only consented
to communicate th.cagh hole in the wall.

plunge into hsr basin, as she aid TO purify
herself notwithstanding her ecoentricities,
she was very shrewd n matters Of business.
