This is an 'hoDor stain such as that which the integrity of Mir t. suffered at the tongue of Mir. D.-both lawyers of this town-on the Sd inst. The misunderstanding between these gentlemen arose out of an alle- gation by NIT D that his professional ability had been publicly underrated by Mr E. He accord ingly called upon the latter gentleman and demanded of him then and there to assign motives for what he had said. Mr. E did not understand the gentleman, was not aware that he had uttered D single remark with regard to Mir. D's legal talent or ability. Mr D now in> formed the gentleman that he believed him to be ''liar" Mir E believed that the gentleman, by using the term, had maciousy and uiIfulIy attempted to stain his honor, and declared that if he did not immediately gulp down the of fensive words he would challenge him to mor- tai combat.

Both gentlemen showed determination and pluck to the last. and there can be no doubt as to the determination of each to blow the other out of 6AlSbSuCG OOADlC' OtiAlSACu hL4Ob- uuSJ II uSSQ with judgment at distance of ten paces, would not have left enough of either party on the ground 10 warrant the expense of cofn.
