particulars OF the late duel between Gov.
Bliss, Of Jefferson Territory, and DR..
Stone, member fthe Legislature, which
resulted III the death of the latter. The
first offence was given by Gov. Bliss, in
a toast at a dinner party, and singular
enough, considering the time and lace.

sonal reflection and insult. This was
avowed upon the spot, and a hostile
meeting was at once arranged to take
place on the Highland side of the Platte
river. The weapons agreed upon were
shot guns, loaded with single ball: dis
lance thirty PAGES. AT the appointed
hour three O'Clock in the afternoon the
principals took their stations. the word
was given by one ofthe seconds. two or
three times III practice, when the arms
were presented to the combatants. the
seconds and surgeons retired, and the
Inal word was given. The report Of
DR.. Stones gun followed immediately

Publio School Matters.

The f.iendS Of our Public Schools.
will regret to learn, that the position Of
Mr. I. j. Conatty as Principal of the
High school IN this city, has beeu ter
minated. Mr.. Conatty is not only an
accomplished teacher, but be possesses
the faculty in an eminant degree of i'm
parting good influences, and correct
! principles Of moral action, among those
under his instruction. Distinguish
ed educators, not only of this, but
OF other states, who have visited our
Ugh School department, bear testimony
TO the order and discipline of the school
under the control Of Mr.. Conatty-a
discipline of moral suasion; conscien-
uous regard for the right, on the part
OF scholars in the school room. This as
pect of our school has been distin-
gushing characteristic, and one which
has attracted the observation of the
intelligent friends of education.
We should fail to reflect the candid
sentiment of many devoted friends of
education IN this community, were we
not to express regret, that some arrange
ment had not been made for retaining
the services Of Mr.. Conatty. His health
had become considerably impaired by
hard labor in his profession; and he felt
the the necessity of a brief relaxation
from the care Of the school room, to re-
gain his wonted health and vigor, for
renewed effort. A month or so, it was
hoped would suffice and it would seem
that so reasonable wish on his part.
might have met with ready compli-
ance, without compromising any inter
est Of the school.

1T is worthy of notice among the incidents
relating TO the fire, that the Ladies of Kenosha
worked with an energy in carrying goods into
places Of safety that was perfectly surprising
We heard several remark, that they did more
service than the men. We saw there, ladies EN-.
gagged in serving out hot coffee and eatables 10
the exhausted iremen it was an act of kiud
ness, and reflects the utmost credit upon the Ia.
dies for which we know the Racine "boys" are
very grateful. Indeed the gratitude of our neigh
bors was evinced in many acts of lindness-oper
houses for Racine people was the order, anG
even the livery stables refused to take cent fol
accommodation of any one from our city"
We have elsewhere expressed the grateful &C
acknowledgement of the citizens of Kenosha, to
the firemen and citizens of Racine, for tbei
promptitude in coming to our relief The gen,
erous interest manifested in our behalf, will no
soon be forgotten.

Scene after the Fire.

The streets especially the side walks
on Sunday morning last for several
squares in the vicinity of the fire, ex
hibited an unusual spectacle. Every
conceivable article of household furni
ture, mechanical implements and mer-
chandise, were piled in promiscuous
heaps. A considerable amount of prop
erty, was probably never recovered
from the confused mass by the rea
owners.

Must be too low; Z. G. Runals est
mates his loss (chiefy buildings) at $50,
600; upon this basis, the loss on the
buildings above, cannot fall much short
if any, of $75, 900. The loss in goods
cannot well be estimted; it however is
very large, the fire having occurred in
prominent business localities. The to-
tai loss must exceed $4,000
The amounts Of insurance we have
not exactly ascertained. Many have
lost their all. Several families are of
course for the present dependent on the
generosities of the public.
THE FIRE COMPANIES.
Oar Fire Companies were active ana
did good service; but the wide surface
over which the fire was spread, and
the scarcity of water rendered it diff
cult to arrest its progress, with the
available force of our city Fire De-
partment.
RACINE FIREMEN.
The danger appeared so imminent, of
the fire spreading verthe. city, especially
in a southwestern direction that it was
deemed advisable to inform the Fire
Companies of the neighboring city of
Racine of our peril. The burning Gin
ders were flying about the dwellings,
half mile distant from the scene of the
fire, and families in the south part OF
the city were arranging their goods in
readiness for an emergency. 1t being
an unreasonable hour for the Tele-
graph wires, messenger was despatch
ed to Racine for aid. On the arrival
of the messenger at Racine, the bells of
that city were Immediately rung, and
the Firemen and citizens generally were
soon informed of our necessities.
With an alacrity worthy of all com
mendation, two Of the Fire Companies
of Racine, were gotten in immediate
readiness; they were obliged to come
by horse power over the common wag-
CON road, as there were no facilities by
Railway.
Chief Engineer f. Bowman, arrived |
with Fire King No. 2, accompanied
with twenty five men good and strong,
reaching here about 10 o'clock A. NJ. |
Soon after Engine No. l, with thirty
men arrived. Capt. Rowland Of com.
pany No. 8 "Star of the West with a
number of men without engine vera al

citizens of Racine not connected with |
the Fire Companies were also on hand
as soon as practicable. Fortunately, the
fire was arrested, before the arrival OF
our Racine friends; nevertheless their
promptness and kindly prof'ered aid,
will be held in grateful remembrance.
LADIES.
The young ladies of the city, as usual
were prompt in furnishing refreshments
for the Firemen.
PLUNDERERs,
As usual on such occasions, a lot of thievish
lnaves prOwled about. intent on plumber. Sher-
if Fox and his Deputies, deserve much credit |
for their vigilance-four thieves were arrested in
