Last night Galloway and Nicholas Pace came
to my store to attack me, and broke open the
door, fired several times at them, and wound

half mile distant, on business. Galloway and
Bailey followed him with double barrel guns,
and after raising quarrel with my brother, he
told them that he was unarmed, and asked to
be permitted an equality with them. This was
agreed to, l learn. They then started up town,
out before they came into the business part of

CALCULATION BY MEcHAN1sM.-The attention <

problem OF calculation by mechanism His
chine which he has baptised "Arithmome- h
, is applicable to the mechanical solution o.
Ill arithmetIcal operations, from the simplest
