Tho Pryor and potter Duel.

WA>mSoros. April l3.-Several officers started
last night for Prince George County, Maryland to
prevent u duel between Messrs. Pryor and Potter
bot they have not yet retnrned. Nothing add-
tional has been heard in regard to the affair.
LarrR.-By statements mndc by the friends of
Mr., Pryor it appears that Mr.. Potter would not
leave the District Of Columbia to receive chnl-
lenge, Consequently aIperemptory challenge WAS
sent him here. After twelve hours u response
wns sent to pryor's friend stating that Potter
would accept, and named bowio knives as the
weapons. The weapons and mode were denounc
ed hy pryor's friends as absurd, barbarous, aud
vulgar, aud refused TO convey the response To
Pryor, Oolonel Ianjon, Poaer'r friend, then Of
fcred himself us n substitute to fight Pryor with
pistols. This was also refused and here the
matter rests. Pryor is still in Virginia. and Pot
ter WAS in the House this afternoon.

Warning to Those Wearing
False Teeth.

A lady correspondent of Newport
has communicated to us the following
incident to Us the follQxlng incident,
which, though singular in it's charac-
ter, we doubt not is stgictly correct
On Monday night last, according
to her relation Of the matter. on retir-
ing for the night, she placed her false
teeth on the washstand near the head
Of her bed, as was her usual nightly
custom, and was soon wrapped in the
arms of Morpheus.
An hour or two after absconding
herself between the sheets she was
awakened by something falling, follow
ed by sound as of something rolling
like a marble upon the floor She
then arose and struck light as speed
lily as possible, and soon discovered,
to her management as well as horror.
that 2 rat had sgrreptitioqsly seized
upon her grinders and made lis escape
with them through an aperture in the
corner of the roogl. She then Ito use
her own language) returned to bel
again, looking Us amiahle as Deck
Jones did when bis mother died, with
the pleasing REJECTION that she might
charge $50 to profit and lqss-rather
more loss than profit-and be COM
PEELED in the morning to look like a
lady who had no teeth
But the ab0Fe, she adds, Is not the
most singglae part Of tie OCCURRENCE
Something whispered in hep ear all
night that she would find her teeth in
the morning between two certain
joists, by mailing an opening in the
floor, aud with that impression upon
her mind at an early hour in the NOR
ming she procured an auger and chiseI
and commenced the search, thinking
that it wonld be more appropriate
employment for the first day Of AnfiI
than for the 9th of February; but for
all that she soon made az ghertVFe
that would admit her hand aud Oh
Withdrawing the same she vas sqrpri
sed to be able to sesArrect q corn cob.

some humoF that she has a living wit

i the highest respeelability, who was
her fellow ledger on that night, and
then says that hegeafter, she shall
sleep 8ith her teeth in her head, and
a tel pound weight over her mouth,
and tie her hair to the bedpost, for
fear If accidents, We have heard of
MICE carrying off bank-notes, of which
they have made their nests, but this,
we believe, is the first instance that
vermin have appropriated gold lthe
teeth were inpased in gold) for the
same purpose

THE QHuRCH AND DANCING The
Rev. DIR. Brooke, of the Protestant
Episc pal Church, Springfield, thus
writes on dancing: "The dance is most
fascinating amusement to young peo-
pie of lively temperament with a quick
ear for mnsic, and the requisite bodily
agility: Persons Of middle age, who
have lost their relish for the amuSe-
ment. may smile at it as serious OBJ
staole, aud talk cody of the ease with
which it may be relinquishad But
they must be persons of naturally calm
temperament or they mnst have forget
ten the ardor of their youthful days.
DR. Adam Clarke, the learned con-
mentatqr, gives bis personal experience
and observation on the suhject in the
following words: / learned to dance
| grew passionately fond of it; would
scarcrly walk but in measured tine.
grew impatient Of control, was fond
of company, and wished to mingle more
than | ever had done with young peo-
pie I in,aQ case eyer kpHt any inns
proper company; nevertheless, dancing
was to me a RerVerting influence an un-
mixed moral evil. 1t drowned the
VOICE of a weli-instructed conscience,
and was the first cause Qfimpelling me
to seek MY happiness iu this life. -
And | can testify that, as far as my
own observations have extended, and
they had a pretty vide range. [ have
known It TO produce in others the same
evils that it produced in me. / CON
slider it, therefore, as Q branch of that
worldly education whieh leads fcom
heaven to earth, from things spiritual
to thing sensual, and from God to Sa-
tan. Let them plead for it who will,
| knQY it to be evil, and that only.

A Wife.
TIE vALuE OF A HUSBANDS SOUL.

The liquor dealers wife. whose con-
SCIENCE was Ill at ease in relation to
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors,
availipg herself Of all auSpicious mo-
mept, said to her husband
g do not like your selling liquor !;
it seems to me to be bad business !:
you DO Hat, suppose, make more
than one or two hundred dollars year
by it, and should be very much re-
lQiced if you would give it mp
II know" answered the husband,
as we'll as yop do, that it is a bad
business; | should be as glad to give
it IN as you would he to have me, and
if did not make more than one or
two, or even five hundred dollars a
year by it, I would give it mp {"
How much, then" inquired che
wife, edo you make 2"
why" replied the husband, II
make from two to three thousand DOL
lars q year, and that is quite tao mach
to be relinqRishedn
What you say she rejQiqed,
brings to my mind the remarks Of a
LECTURER | once heard, who having re-
peated what Walpole said in relation
TO every man having bis price in noli-
tics, added that it was much the same
in religion. Satan, continued he, is
Q broker. Not. q wheat, OF cotton,
or money broker, bat sopl broker.
pome Gan be procAred to labor in his
service fqp hundred, some fov a thou
sand, and some for ten thousand dol
Jars year, The price, dear husband,
you estimate your soul at, ] see, is
three thousand dollars year. My
husband, look well to it; to me it
seems even three thousand dQllars
year is paltry price for what is truly
priceless.
On the mind Of that husband sud
den conviction flashed, and liberal as
was his portion in those rewards of
