peaceable city Of Dubuque has been kept in
ferment for somo weeks past by the numerous
reports Of duels ia embryo between certain
classes Of her citizens. The lates. and by far
the richest correspondence in this line is given

the entire correspondence to our colurans:
Thanksgiving day q couple Of gay To,harios
met at a certain house, where blue eyed lass
dwelt, to pay their addresses to her. One OF
the .wains becoming jealous Of the other, left
her domcil in ft of rage. swearing he would
have revenge upon his successful rival. Upon
arriving at his room he sat down and penned
the following letter. which was handed To ne.
