THE DUEL IN ST. JAMES.
Reliable Particulars.

We learn from gentleman Just from st.
James the following particulars Of the duel
which to"k place in that parish. Our in
formant is familiar with all the particulars and
his version may be relied upon as entirely
correct.
A difficulty arose between DR.. Gray, who
was member of the Legislature Of 1868 SO,
and Mr.. D. J. Richard, a deputy sheriff Of
the parish.
The affair had its origin in some remarks
made by DR.. Gray rejecting upon the charac-
ter of Mr. Richard in q previaus affair of
honor, between him and NJ T. Jackson, of
the st. James Sentinel. DR.. Gray, having
CURED retraction, was met by a reference to
the friends OF the latter fol a settle
ment of the affair. A delay of
week was agreed upon for the meeting,
at the expiration of which time and
hearing nothing from DR.. Gray Mr.. Richard
placarded him. Whereupon DR. Gray de-
manGed satisfaction for this insult, which was
granted him, and resulted in the duel of the
18th inst, in which DIR. Gray was killed and
Mr.. Richard was severely wounded, but not
killed, as reported by the Times of yesterday
morning At IL o'clock yesterday Mr.. Rich
ard was still alive, and hopes We're entertained
of his recovery by his physician.
These particulars are obtained from al eye
witness, who speaks by the card.
DR.. Gray being the challenger, the second
and third shots were demanded by him, and
the third resulted fatally to DR.. Gray

The extent of this crop the past season would
hardly be credited if full statement could bt
made of it in every part of the country. The
cane seems to grow wherever Indian corn can be
cultivated, and requires no more attention. The
accounts that reach us from every and opposite
quarters bear the same testimony as to the sue
cess, more or less satisfying, that has attended
its cultivation. MOlasses of an eXcellent quail
ty appears to be manufactured with the least
possible difficulty. The announcement made in
these columns some seven or eight years ago
when the cane was first introduced, that mOlas-
ses could be made from it with less labor and
skill than apple butter from apples and cider
was laughed at then, but it is found to be even
so. The suggestion offered at the same time that
manufactures should be established, the same as
grist mills, to work up the cane in return for SO
much toll, as in grinding grists, much per
gallon for the molasses, has been virtually car
ried out.
A writer in the Western RHral, named Almon
Maltby, of Brighton, Michigan, states that he
has raised as much as two hundred and forty.
four gallons of mOlasses per acre; and that a
neighbor has obtained much as two hundred
and eighty gallons. On some land he obtained
however, only sixty gallons. He sold all his al
LBS per gallon. This mOlasses, he says, is pre-
ferred TO the best Southern.
From such results as these, as well as from the
general results of the culture, which must be
more encouraging as the nature of the crop is
better understood, each one can judge for him
self whether or not this new branch Of agricul
ture will pay.--Ge'mdRtOuR Telegraph.

on the Goth of March she laid fiat her side
unable to turn over, and had not been on her
feet for more than ten days, when my father, DR.,

Dist. On Sunday, the oath, when went out to
feed, she raised to her feet and took too two or
three steps to meet me. By Saturday, the 30th,
she was as well and sound as ever.
The same remedy is equally good in treating
mango. First wash the hog well with soap suds;
then to one pint of lard while hot, add one ounce
of carbOlic, stirring it until it is cool. Rub the

Prof. Osborn, of Miami University, says: There
Is an error, think, in the official preparation Of
the antidote for arsenic poison, to which would
direct attention of medical men as well as Of
theraPeutists generally. For some years past
have bad reason to notice that, under certain
conditions, the freshly precipitated red oxide OF
iron undergoes such an atomic change that 1t re-
fuses TO dissolve IN the usual menstrunms as rap
IDLY as before it was subjected to the conditions
above intimated and it almost loses its subjecti-
witty to certain solvents entirely. Now, this red
OXIDE OF iron is highly recommended IN some
works as an antidote for arsenic poison, and on
~ under one condition is il well to say that lt Is
most powerful rs an antidOte, namely, when u
Is prepared within the limits of an hour or less,
aud when prepared under the following formula:
Take OF the usual percbloride of iron two or three
ounces or more, according to the amount OF pol
sonihg, add about one-quarter its volume OF wa
TER sur and carefully precipitate by aqua am
monia mot the carbOnate), after persistent pre-
cipitation NIL up with warm water-allow set
tilng-pOur OF the supernataut solution OF am
monium muriate, add an equal volume Of tepd
water and administer Immediately. The error
IN point Is this, that the red oxide, as prepared
and Kept In water in eight" bottles, sealed etc.,
for weeks, or as stated in the official directions
Tor months, and which some druggists suppose
to be good because kept under water and in
bottles, has in three hours begun to pass into -
Capitalization or atomic change, which will
eventually render il nearly worthless that the
patient either dies or suffers for months from
secondary results, whereas when properly pre-
pared and administered, and the approximate
quantity of arsenic, either as acid direct, or in
Fowler's, or any usual solution, is known, the
patient may recover with comparative safety.
Any competent druggist may prepare q sufficient
quantity in thirty seconds"
