reached the age Of eighty years and
upwards, namely:
Charles Carroll. of Maryland, 95.

Being an average of Sc years and

In the duels of the students of the
German universities a cut or thrust
that draws blood is usually considered
a sufficient atonement for wounded
honor. Two students in the Universi-
ty at Huntsville, Ala, who fought,
did not follow the custom of the Ger
man students. w. w. Alston and X.
]. Harrison. both Alabamians, met
with pistols, and fired eightor twelve
shots at close quarters. Aston was
wounded in the neck and shot throu'
the heart. and Harrison was shot
through the shoulder aud arm.
Wounded as they were, one of them
mOrtally, they threw down their pis-
tolls and grsppled. Alston lived hut
a few moments after the affrsy. Ac-
cording to the account of the Alabama
newspapers "they were both brave
young men," but judicious parents
will feel inclined to withhold their
sons from the college society of such
brave young men.
