DIED--Aug. 9th. 1868, in Lancaster, Ohio,
Robert Fieldihg,in the sixty-sixth y ear Of his
age.
Hs was one OF the old citizens and business
men OF this place. A man of remarkable equa-

He had been for many years member Of the

with steadiness and order. SIS
HIS last Illness was protracted, and painful,
but borne with forttude and an abiding trustin

OF his approaching end, butperfectly willing to
90. At one time he said to his Pastor, that he
had often thought "how cad 'twould be TO lay

pointed, he realizedthat as his day was so was
his strength.
His end was perfect peace, he breathed his
last surrounded by his loved ones.

their sorrow is cheered with the thought Of his
rest and their meeting again, where sepsI ations

9 In his opening speech in the impeach

the scriptural quotation, Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they do :
but could not recall the name of its author.
He was preparing his speech in his Office at
his residence at the time. and one or two
OF his friends were present, TO whom he APP

A Duel Near Washington.
w aShlDgtOn, Ma

Washington, May 4.
Fashionable circles have been good
deal excited to>day, over the rumor that
two gentlemen, circulating in upperten-
dom, had hostile meeting at Bladens-
burg, this morning, to settle a difficulty
according TO the duelling code. The facts,
as near as can be ascertained appear to be
that A. G. Lawrence, our Minister to Cos
ia Rica, was challenged on Saturday BY
Baron Henry Won Kusler, first secretary of
the Prussian legation, for an insult to la
dy friend of the latter. The other accounts
represent that there is no lady in the case,
but. the preliminaries having been ar>
ranged, the parties met at an early hour
this morning on the railroad, between
Washington and Baltimore, and not at
Bladensburg, as stated The seconds en>
deavored TO effect reconciliation, but
without success, ana the beIHgerents ar
ranged themselves for the fire. The word
was given and shots exchanged, each man
missing the other, when the seconds again
sought to reconcile the two, and this time
were successful. The difficulty was adjust
ed and the parties shook hands and lett the
ground without any spillicg of each other s
blood. The first shot xas fred at fifteen
PAGES, and the second, had not an interfer.
ence taken place, was 10 have been fired at
ten PAGES.
