An EDITORIAL EPISODE. Rogers, liv-
ing near New Castle, called at the editorial
Office Of the Eccry Ereauty ant Comntrc,ai,
Friday, to express his disapproval Of an
item in that paper which alluded to his
brother, the late VIM. U0rsey Rogers, Esq,
as "cross between Bougham and Il
D'Orsay," and which he considered uncom-
| pIimentary in other respects. He gained
| the editorial presence, when Il war OF words
cnsued, during which threats were made
| on one side, and defiance howlcl on the
| other. The controversy Was abruptly
ended by one of the Office attaches closing
the editorial door, leaving the offended
| Rogers on the outside This timely action
stopped any further waste Of wind and
doubtless prevented the shedding Of human
gore,-IiralH
