ton at Ennis, Mr.. 0Brien fought q duel with
O'Connelps "head paci6cator," the great Tom
Steele. 0'Brien was the challenger, and on
the first two shots perforated the coat-tails of

THE ADIRONDACK CLuB.--The Adirondack
Club, composed of philosophers, authors, sa-
vans, artists and ordinary human beings,
the prominent members of which are Ralph
Waldo Emerson, James Russell Lowell, Pro-
fessors Stilman, Agnssiz and Wyman, are
about purchasing twelve thousand acres of
land in the wilds of Adirondack, building q
commodious camp house, and making all con-
venient arrangements for their annual soiourn
in the woods. As the land can be purchased
for twelve and a half cents per acre, it will be
seen that the land, twelve thousand acres of
woods, lakes, ravinos, brook-trout, bears and
panthers, can be bought and paid for with
out producing any great panic in the money
market.

1t is now discovered that the cause Of the
delay in the ratification of the Cass- Yrissarri
Treaty is, that Sir VIM. Gore 0useley, in the
course of negotiation, inserted an article in his
treaty requiring England t0 aid in the expul-
sion of and protection against British fillibus-
tors, and Nicaragua amended ours by inserting
a clause to the same effect rs regards American
fllibusters, which government here refuses to
accept, on the ground that existing laws are
sufficient.
