Remarkable Incident.

SOME years ago I was present at duel
that was fought between young man
of the name of MacLoughlin and another
Irishman. MacLoughlin was desperate
ly wounded; his second ran up to him
and thought to console him with the in
telligence that his antagonist had also
fallen. He only replied: q am sorry
for it if he is suffering as much as [ do
now" | was struck by the good feeling
evinced in this reply and took an interest
in the fate Of the young man. He re-
covered, and few years after my inter
est was again powerfully excited by
hearing that he had been arrested on
suspicion of having murdered his father
in-law, his mothers second husband.
He was tried and found guilty on the
evidence of a soldier who happened to
be passing in the middle of the night
near the house in which the murder was
committed Attracted by light which
cleaned through the lower part of the
window he approached it, and through
an opening between the shutter and the
frame was able TO look into the room.
There he saw man in the act Of lifting
a dead body from the floor, while his
hands and clothes were stained all ov er
with blood. He FASTENED to give in
formation of what he had seen;
MacLoughlin and his mother were
apprehended, and the former, having
been identified by the soldier, was
found guilty. There was no evidence
against the woman and she was conse-
quently acquitted. MacLoughlin con-
Quoted himself throughout the trial with
determined calmness and never could be
induced to acknowledge his guilt. The
morning of his execution he had an in
terview with his mother; none knew
what passed between them, but when

to be the most valuable IN the whole re-

fering high prices for it. 1t is now in
the possession of the Hon. G. P. Heller.
one of the Judges OF the Pike County
Court, who bought it from Westfall.
The title having been brought in CUES

time ceased. Seymour claims that al
though he gave a deed for the property,
the whole transaction was illegal, being
the result of a wager on an election.
