The DUEL Which WAS NOT FoUGHT.-
The announcement has been made that a duel
had been fought or was about to be fought be-
tween Hon. Garrett Davis and Capt. w. Z.
Simms of Kentucky. The unfortunate "about-
to-be" has saved them both from all sanguina-
ry consequences. The cause of the difficulty
was briefly this Somebody in the Paris, Ky,
Citizen, had compared Capt. Simms, who is
an old line wing, to Benedict Arnold. The val
orous Captain, in speech soon after at "Rud-
dies Mills" characterized the writer, whoever
he was, in the following terms:
"Ihe author of that article is a serpent that
crawls along in his filthy slime, and though
powerless to injure, still spits his venom and
hurls his Kisses. He is a slanderer and a ty-
rant, and would place his foot, if he dared to
do it, upon the neck OF every gentleman in
this community who dared differ with him, po-
litically or otherwise"
Hon. Garrett Davis Immediately rose from
his seat, announced himself as the person re-
ferred to, and suggested in rather strong Ian
guage that the gentleman was "a liar and
coward" The captain replied with much Sc
verify that the gentleman was ga blackguard
and unworthy his notice" The friendly con-
versation ended with the understanding that
the parties were mutually responsible" and
that their differences of opinion were to be
settled elsewhere. A most singular cor
respondence ensued, which could not have
been more like that immortazed- in the
Pickwick Papers, if it had been photographed.
Mutual friends" appeared at the proper time,
and arranged the matter in manner satisfac-
tory and honorable to both parties-i. e., if
they had said anything which could be fairly
construed as personally offensive to each other,
| it was to be mutually and simultaneously with.
drawn. No drowning man ever grappled with
straw half SO courageously as they seized
upon the terms of reconciliation and safety
The world could not spare them yet. Pass
! them along.

WORCESTER ENTERPRISE AHEAD. = The
Western Railroad Company put upon their
track, last week, six new and splendid passen-
ger cars, to run upon the express line between
Boston and New York. Three of them were
built by Osgood Bradley of this city, and three
by WATSON & Co. of Springfield The cost of
them is about $4,000 each. Three of them are
for the day, and three for the night express.
There is one very important difference, how
ever, between those builtin this city, and those
built in Springfield. Those of Wasson's
make heated so badly in the boxes, on the
trial trip, as to cause delay of the train some
two hours on the passage, and rendering neces-
sary the substitution of other cars temporarily
in their stead whereas those of Bradley's
make, besides being more substantially built
IN other respects, as far as strength, durability
&C., are concerned, and model cars in every
particular, went over the line on their first
trial without the slightest delay, from heating
or otherwise, and were in as perfect condition
for running at the end of the route as when
they started. **

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE,-On Saturday morn
ing last, Henry Munroe, son of the late Reuben
Munroe OF this city, made an attempt at self
destruction by cutting his throat. He is sim
gle man, between 40 and 80 years of age, and
was boarding in the house with Jed. Knapp,
on the court leading from Pine street to the
Boston and Worcester Railroad. Knapp had
left Munroe's room but short time before,
and when he returned, found the latter on his
bed, bleeding, with his throat cut on the left
side, with knife This OWN covered with
blood, in his bosom. In answer to the question
as to what was the cause of the act, Munroe
said the milkman had been there and done it,
which was impossible, as a chair was against
the inside of the only door leading to the room.
Drs. Benjamin Haywood and Samuel Flagg
were called, and found that although deep
incision had been made, which caused a pro-
fuse flow of blood, neither the windpipe nor
any of the larger blood vessels were cut, so
he is likely to recover. Munroe, who has
been considerably addicted to habits of ntem-
perance, had been residing for several months
past in Providence, from which place he re.
turned to this city week since He was
taken to the Almshouse
