BILE suicide we yesterday mentioned, were last

and Orleans Fire Company No. 81, of which the
deceased was the founder, foreman for several
terms and an honored exempt member, turned out
in full force. Other iremen were present, and the
concourse Of gentlemen in citizens dress was
great.
The hearse was accompanied by six pall.bear-
ers two members of the Artillery, two members
of the Fire Company, and two Others Messrs. John
McClelland and Oscar Arroyo, representing the
citizens who were not fremen or soldiers. The.
solemn cortege wound its way through the princi-
pal streets of the Second District, and the remains
of the deceased were entombed with proper cere-
monies in the St. Louis Cemetery. The city has
lost good man by the death of John L. Lamothe.
He was truly soldier, being as ready to meet his
country's enemies as the fiery deyastator at home
He served with honor in Maj. Gally's Battalion in
the Mexican war, and whilst an active fireman in
this city, was not to be exceed by any in ntre-
the State Legislature.

lowed to its last rest the body of their welbeoved

DuELs.-There have been three duels within the
last three days. One was fought with smallswords,
in a room, during the gale of Tuesday; the others
were fought with firearms, and settled after harm-
less firstshots. One of the principals was the same
in both the shooting dues, the trouble arising out of
