The name of the sufferer we suppress, on ac-
count of his family. The circumstances as they
occurred are briefly these: The gentleman be-
came enamored OF the charms Of Susan, and
wrote her note, proposing meeting and an
acquaintance, which might be mutually agreea-
BILE. The following is the note in question, and

tue nsulted and became exceedingly indignant

Among those who were with Huntington, was

as her husband, saying that they could settle
the affair IN their own way.
Mr.. Huntington then struck the individual re-
peated blows over the head and shoulders with
a whip, when they closed and fell and rose again
ami then went down again, when the assailed

ing his horse and buggy and sword-cane, which
Huntington has in his possession, and upon
