| fred on Carondclet street, in front of the beer

fast footraee up Carondcet street, the result Of

DuELIsTe.-Wc learn that two gentlemen of the
Second District, Messrs. N. Galabert and p. Najol-
ly, went to the Oaks, on GeutiIly Road, on Friday
/ afternoon, accompanied each by two friends, for
4 the purpose of settling an affair of honor The
weapons were small swords. The combat was
long and spirited, Al the fifth pass, the adveFsa-
! fies made double stroke, Mr.. Majoly getting
slightly wounded in the right groin, whilst his
sword passed through sIr. Galabert's right arm
and penetrated the breast The wound il most
painful one, and Mr.. Galabert is said to be in crt
cal condition.
| Two young gentlemen who recently had rem
eontre and harmless shooting affair Ghartres
street, are reported to have gone over the lake
day or two since TO settle their difficulty in formal
style. Reyolyers at twenty Ave PAGES, to COM
mence firing and advancing at the word were the
conditions. We have not yet heard from the par
ties.
/ THE SKELETON IN THE SANDING have already
reported upon the emaciated, unrecognizable,
skeleton corpse found in the dirt at the foot of
Canal street, by iaborcrs who were digging: and
also mentioned, that in the trousers pocket were
found gmlet and deeayed and undistinguisha-
bic daguerreotype, the latter being the only posi-
BILE clue to an identification of the remains. The
picture was given by the Coroner to Mr.. j. Fl.
FrobUs, experienced artist, to restore if posi-
BILE.
Before Mr. r. was half through with the process
Of cleaning and restoring the picture, he called
upon by a respectable looking old gentleman, who
said that if the face should appear young, and the
vest appear to be of large checked plaid stuff,
the picture would surely be that of young man
whom he knew to have committed suicide by jump
Ing off the Canal street ferry boat, some time ago.
Nh. Frebus has restored the picture, which is an
ambrotype as far as possible; but enough to ren.
der the face and dress distinctly disccrnibe. 1t is
1 picture of very neat and handsome-lookng
young man of regular features and rather melan.
c choly couutenance; hair short and neatly cut; a
/, small imperial on the chin light lowered neck
!; tie white shirt; black coat and checkered OF
plaid vest.
! Can this be the picture Of the young man, O
n whom the strange visitor spoke to Mr. Frobus? i
/. IS worth remembering that the skeleton remains
had on blue cottonade pants the other clothing
C being gone-and such pants do not correspond
. with the upper clothing which are shown in the
picture which does not include any distnguishable
c part of the pants. But what would one man be
c doing with another mans picture in his pocket
c unless it were the picture of his father or his
e brothert
The sad face and the scrupulously nice dres
y shown in the picture, tempt us to imagine SOM
H. ardent affair of the heartsome instance Of tina
le desperate and insane love, which eesets only tn
}. young blessed by period of happiness and hope
H. followed by sudden misunderstanding quarre
ID "a restoration of pictures and presents-and til
lg despair and desperation, as usual, on the Jun
mans side-ending in mad plunge intoas,s riyel
le and the forty millionth illustration of ts nth tha
I'd the course OF true love never did rg gzAooth."
Is Whether our fances be worth q liberation 0
G. not, the picture can be seen at NJ obus' gallery
es on Customhouse street, tl rner of Charities
le Whoever may have lost e.z sscd relative o
ar friend answering to the des ation we have given
70 should go and it. If tn original should happe
n to be alive it will be his bounden duty to go an
d, see it, and, if possible, explain how it happened
lg be found in the pocket of the dead man who wa
y, found buried in the sand.
