A SINGULAR DUKL.-A letter from Richmond (Va)
70 the Petersburg Express relates the following oc.
currence:
duel OF novel character took place at the resi-
dence Of Robert Hancock, Esq, Shockoe Hill, day
or two since, during the absence Of that gentleman
from home. Two men servants being engaged in .
quarrel, in which both were much abused, they 70.
solved to heal their wounded honor by resort to the
duello. There was but pistol accessible to the
oombatants-an old horseman's sidearm-but they
got out Of this dilemma In the following remarkable
nanner: The weapon was heavily charged, the dis
lance (ten paces) marked Off sDd the privilege Of the
rat fire decided by the toss up Of cent. The par
ties then took their position and the fortunate winner
Of the frst re asked his opponent II he was ready
Receiving an affirmative response, the pistolholder
baxed away, striking his opponent on the side Of the
forehead, the ball tearing up the skim and gancing
or Had II struck him plumply, instant death would
have probly ensued. As It was, the defenceless
dsrke was severely stunned, and fell TO the floor.
Hhe explosion created quite . panic for the mo-
mont. and neghbors rushed to the spot to ascertain
the cause. The whole affair now leaked out, and the
facts being communicated to the MASTER that gentle
tleman speedily administered to the faulty shot q
sound thrashing reserving q similar dose for the
other, when be il deemed well enough to receive IT,
So while their wounded honorn have been healed,
Others have been and will be created, which can be
only modified by the application Of sticking plaster.

A WILD WoAAN.-A correspondent Of the Kings
ton (Canada) News, under date of July 18th, says

ton (Canada) News, under date Of July 18th, snys
There was woman seen near Bishops mill who
appears to be perfectly wild She was first seen on
t5s 18th instant, by two gentlemen who had been
hunting, standing near the stream that falls from
the race gazing at the Orangemen who were at that
time passing within sight The men, thinking that
she was one of the neighboring women who had
come to hattie, as she was perfectly naked, did not
discover themselves to her for some time.
They affirm that she is almost AZ dark as q negro,
but having the features Of white she is of medium
hight appeared to be between forty and fifty years
of age and very lean with small face and sunken
eyes. When they approached near enough to be
seen, she started up like dear, Immediately taking
to the woods, leaping sometimes from ten to fifteen
feet. The men gave chase, but kept in sight but 4
few minutes. After wandering about for some time
trying to get sight Of her but in vain, they returned
and told their seemingly incredible story.
The following day six men started in search. and
secured the woods for miles around About O'Clock,
as they were about to return they startled by
the cracking of some brush, and, upon looking in
the direction from whence it proceeded, observed
her passing. They all made q rush at her, but she
was of and out Of sight in a twinkling.
To day some ten or fifteen men started in search
and about noon she was seen by Mr.. Elson, who
made sure he had her, but she left him in quick
style; be followed her short distance, but on
coming to o quagmire, he, from his great weight,
could proceed further. He says be came to spot
where she had been dressing cat, and eaten por-
ton OF it. All the people in the neighborhood in
tend turning out next Wednesday and If they prove
successful, l will let you know.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR ALCOHOLIC DRINKs.-Old TO-
pers may get hint towards relief in the following
passage Of an address by Professor Miller to the
Scottish Clergy:
Every drop Of alcohol went to the brain, hardened
II, and produced determination of blood thither
he had read in books Of travel that Of the tribes
Of the North American Indians we're well aware of
this, fer when they failed in procuring supply Of
alcohol, they were wont to stand for some time on
the crown OF their heads. This was mere matter of
engineering on the part but it produced the desired
effect, and served solution for the loss OF their
whisky. Now be would take the liberty of suggest
ing to those fathers and brethren who were in the
habit Of taking tumbler of toddy occasionally to
assist them in indting their sermons if it would not
be much better plan to adopt the idea of the North

they sat down to write.
