Both the young gentlemen beirg 60 well

The best Information we could gath wa
this: The ouug men were long time fri IL! !.
working together, IS theg did, in the sam,
house. 4 few days since Uhlhoru found him
self accused Of embezzlipy the amour. u :.

nounced him 4 a1ying jew sou Of d b-h,r
Levy says he accepted the insult, not rcscnt-
ing 1t then, because the partners In the Aou5.;
were absent, and bccau=c if he had made fight
he might have sacrificed his employers Inicr~
est, by being arrested and taken fou, bis re
spanslhle position Is PR pro. Levy further
--ays that he intended callin;, upon Uhlhor1,
for satisfaction yesterday morning, but va,
ssu!ded from 1t BY tue ndeicc Of his father

Yesterday morning Uhlhorn WAS dlzmisee.1
from his position ~ clerk ia the house, by on:

The two friends promised; ono was pnnctua1

rsndezyons ten minutes too late, missed it all
The friend WIN WIS punctual to the appoint

was young lnau named Sa1tcr.
It vas about ~ o'clock, when they visite.!
the Office. As Levy says, youug man un-

room whilst hc WAS busy at his books, and IL
formed him tint .Mr. Uhlhorn was outside

going out, but his visitor insisted qpou it, un
taking him By the arm, infornedoli1n that i,

Though not in the habit Of carrying weapons,

yer and had Il IN hfs l;antaioons pocket, be-
lieSing that uhlhorn would probably insnli

As lie stepped out on the bauquettc, Uhl
