THS Ear OF DIoNYsius in the neigh
oorheod OF Syracuse, IL Sjtiiy, is a cave Of
greaa depth, which is said to have been
5u;lt by DOnysius the Elder, tyrant. or
usurper, who was born about 3. c. $50 and
died B. @. 36T, in the 631 year Of his age, ,
and the thirty>ninth of his rule. This cave
was two hundred and fifty feet long and
eighty feet high. II was fashioned in the
form of human ear, and the faintest sounds
were carried from all parts to a central cham
Der, which correspondent to the tympauum
or drum of the ear. In this remarkable
whispering gallery Diobysius imprisoned ali
who were the objects of his suspicions, while
he himself was in the habit of passing entire
days in the innermost chamber. listening to
the conversation of his victims, in order that
he might ascertain for himself who were
really his enemies. Ancient writers tell us
that the workmen who constructed the cav
ern were put to death to prevent them from
divulging the use to which it was put, and
that whole families were sometimes confined
in it at once. Modern travellers relate that
even at the present day, notwithstanding the
changes which have been wrought 6y time,
the echo is such that the tearing of a sheet
OF paper at the entrance caa be distinctly
beard at the remotest part. Pieces of iron
and lead have been found in making exca-
vations. and they are thought to be the re-
mains Of the chains and staples by which
the prisoners were cor fued .-OlireT Optics

King was a little tOp.heavy, sat on

he alleges, so IL his pocket,
which, when he awoke, was miss

ing it. This led TO a fight between
the men, but they were soon sepa-
rated. About half past twelve
they met again. Each was armed
with a knife, and after REV words,
both tried their weapons, and
commenced q most terrific and
frightful encounter.
Both men used their knives
freely and fought with q bravery
and desperation worthy of a no.
bier cause. Mellon, after having
received u desperate cash in the
cheek, threw away bis knife az
worthless, and having received
one of q more deadly character
from O friend, went TO work will

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald says that
,.Dr. Samuel Bard, nominated by
the President as Governor of Ida
no, was lately Editor and propri-
etor of the Atlanta New Era. He
is a native Of New York, but has
resided in Georgia for the past
twenty-five years. He was among
the earliest advocates of Grant
for the Presidency having brought
his name forward nearly three
years ago" This is an error. DR.
Bard, If we are not mistaken, was I
citizen Of Louisiana, about thi
commencement of hostilities, anG
we think was connected with
paper in Monroe. He has moi
been ga resident Of Georgia for thu
last twenty five years" There ar'
many persons in this vicinity VIII!

him, and we think he and the bus

y REMARKABLE nUEL.--A duel was
fought ON the Alabama and Missis-
.sippi State Line, on, We believe,
Sunday or Monday morning, by
two young men of a village In East
Mississippi, not a thou and miles
away, which had some singular fea-

private, and the parties TO 1t have
since made friends and desire to
avoid notoriety, and we omit names
and place.
The challenged party did not want
10 fight, but the challenger insisted,
and he complied. They had been
devoted friends. The time and
place was fixed with little delay.
Together they went to q livery sta
bic and hired horses and rode to-
geihcr,to the house OF a mutual
friend. who entertained them UNI
~suspecting the deadly business they
were on. They slept in the same
bed that night. When they were
dressing the next morning they
snapped breast pins. We believe
we understood our informant TO
saw that they had but one friend be-
tween them, who was equally the
second Of both. They rode to the
field of honor and d|isinounted The
ground was measured off and the
parties took their positions with
