4 DueL, Almost.-Several days ago a clerk
:, , shoe store on Main street, met an attractive
Young woman, and was SO enchanted with her
rersonal appearance that he Immediately sought
an introduction through his friend who holds
firth as clerk in dry goods store on the same
street The latter having the honor Of the la
dy's acquaintance, readily Signified his willing
ness to "knock the shoe man down" to the fe.
male divinity in question, and u time and place
were appointed.to witness the highly interesting
proceeding, with the attendant bowling, blush
ing, s!arnmering and scraping Before the al
lated time arrived, the man of leather thought
he discovered the object of his admiration was
not all his fancy painted her, and so expressed
himself to the man of calico and silks. The
latter was indignant, and used harsh language.
The former managed to work himself up to a
point equally indignant, and INDUCED in Ian
guage equally harsh, and the two separated
amid war of words. Some of the friends CT
the shoe man persuaded him that nothing but
challenge speedily dispatched to the dry
goods house would heal his wounded honor
not even the celebrated three minute salve
The shoe man consented to this, introducing a
proviso that in case the challenge was accepted,
there should lie no ball in his adversarys pis-
tol This being agreed to, the dreadful "biily
doc" was written and despatched. The dry
goods man opened and read the document, each
word falling upon his ear like
"A knen

no answer to the chivalrous bearer When the
