CO.. The ground, where the hostile meet
ing would take place was not generally
known, as several changes had already
been made; but that instinct which draws
the vulture to the feast, led each some ten
miles from the Marced lake. The princi-
pals, with seconds and physician, were on
the ground at a quarter-past six O'Clock,
both apparently in the best of spirits,
neither at all anxious or nervous as to the
result. Half an hour was occupied in the
preliminary arrangements; during this
time the principals maintained their posi-
tions, and listened with much composure
to the details. Judge Terry stood with
his head thrown slightly back. looking
toward his antagonist; maintaining the
position Of q practiced duelist, presenting
only the edge of his person and keeping
his left hand, and shoulder well behind

head rather down. Once his foot got
a fraction over the line, when Mr.. .McKib.

took one good look at his antagonist, ran
his eye rapidly over the intervening ground
as if drawing beeline. and did not again
raise his eye until the word was given to

slowly brought it to an angle of forty.f

what any sensible young man in his pre-
dicament would, asked the old man for his
daughter. To his surprise he met q
stern refusal, with the pleasant threat i

him into the sea.
Nothing daunted by the refusal, Of
threat, our hero made sure of the affec

mudgeon alone, till there would be M
danger in asking him again.
Landing in Carolina, the old mai

An Exciting Incident,

Years ago, when I was youngster,i II
became an assistant to DR.. b., the super.
intendeRt of public insane asylum. As
in all insane asylums, some of the patients
were docile, and tractatle, and had the
freedom Of the high-walled garden, while
others, being violent and dangerous in
their madness, were confined to their
rooms. Sometimes one of the last named
gentlemen would get loose, q, fact which
he usually announced by breaking things

doctor would repair to the spot at which
he was ''eleyatipg the ancient Henry, |.
