Fight Between Gen. Leslie Combs and
Bank Director.

The Paris (Ky.) Citizen has the follow
ing item:
We learn that, on Tuesday last, Mr.. Henry T.
Duncan and Gen. Leslie Combs had rough
and tumble fight in the banking room OF the
Northern Bank in Lexington. Duncan rather
got the start at first, but the youth and yigor Of
the General stood by him, and he quickly raj
lied and commenced Furnishing his adversary,
when bystsnders rushed in and separated the
combatants. These young men ought to set 3
better example.
General COMBS is only about seventy ilco
or three, and DuScAs auss stIty., .---...-~

Pixies P~Rk-Terr ible suffering Among
Returning Emigranis.

A Geographic dispatch from Leavenworth,
Kansas, dated May II, gives the latest adj
vices from the Pixies Peak country. The let
tiers are from Denver City-n the heart Of
the so called gold region-of the 18th April.
There is great scarcity Of provisions in the
mines, and much suffering among the emf
grants. Several deaths from starvation are
reported, and the emigrauts coming into the
country were in an alarmingly destitute con-
dition. The Leavenworth dispatch says:
Contrary reports prevailed regarding the
mining prospects,. The general tenor Of the
intelligence il not encouraging, but the unfa
vorable accounts are ascrbed to destitute and
discontinued emigrants. No remittances Of
dust, or rich discoveries. have been ann 7uuced
Measures have been initiated towards forming
new State, Delegates are to meet at Denver
City in June TO form q new State constitution.
The glowing accounts first received from
the gold mines, had their origin in the Kan.
sas newspapers, real estate spectators, and
Missouri river steamboat owners. Now, we
have from the same interested sources, the
truth at last men are starving to death at
the mines, murders and robberies are of
common occurrence, and no remittances Of
gold dust or rich discoveries have been
announced. by the dlsgrsceful and fraudu.
lent lies heralded over the country. forty or
fifty thousand men have been drawn to Kan
sas, and the gold mines and yet there has
been no more gold found at Pixies Peak
than 90 the Zumbro
LArER-A letter dated Fort Kearney,
May s, received at ST. Louis, on the 18th,
says that the Pixies Peak emigrants are
returning in droves. 900 wagons had passed
the fort in week. The emigrants were in
an extremely destitute condition, and we're
selling their wagons. horses and outfits for
almost nothing.

Some OF our citizens will remember the
Fakir OF silva, magician or juggler who
per formed here some years since under that
egregious nom de plume Those, at least,
who were the victims Of the gift exhibition
with which be closed his brief but glorious
career in this city, have cause to remember
HIM. II We recollect Alright, the gifts or
prizes which were displayed in the lottery
in question, were borrowed from some Of our
merchants, who united in this scheme for
getting rid Of some surplus trihes, with this
famous Professor Of the Black Art Tor their
agent. The exhibition went of with eclat
The prizes were drawn; every holder ola tick
ct drew prize Never did lottery drawing
diiuse more universal satisfaction. 1t was
very late when the Fakir got through. He
could not distribute the prizes till the morn
ing following. Nothing could be more rea
sonable--sDd every body was only too
happy to acquiesce in the postpenement-if
only for the sake Of evincing their high ap.
peeciation Of the Fakir.
When the morning came the Fakir (such
is the power Of magic y, had disappeared
with prizes, money and all-disappeared at
least to mortal vision. The papers said he
had absconded-torgetting that it is in the
resources Of the necromantic art to change
shapes with anything that runs or ties--to
be present in any form it may elect from
the wardrobe Of obequious nature.
We will not say then that the Fakir ab.
