DIED..

In this city, March 18th, 1879, CT diphthoria,
FREDDIE E., son Of ThoS. F. and Roxy
LHoNARD-aged four years, ten months and
nine days.
Another little grave. Another family circle
suddenly bereaved by swift disease. No one
can know the sense Of loss except those who
have passed through similar experiences. Yet
how sweetly soothing IL the reflection that
Freddie has been taken to spend those years
In heaven, which he must otherwise have
spent amidst sin and temptation and sorrow
In the valley Of tears, and that the tender and
lovely plant, which FOND parents had begun
to cherish with SO much care, has been happily
removed from the frosts and blasts OF this
inferior cline, and has found its place In the
garden Of God above, there to flourish In un-
fading beauty.
In this world Of care and pain,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave him.
To the sunny heavenly plain
Hast thou now with Joy received him.
Clothed in robes Of spotfess white,
Now he dWells with Thee in light.

Our election for village officers was
held on Monday. The contest on the
license question was very spirited, and
unearthed an unlimited amount of wire
pulling, and the usual amount of scandal
and misrepresent ation which generally
leaks out OF both sides of the temperance
question upon such occasions. A little
knownothlngism, and its kindred allies,
manifested themselves among few of the
fanatics, but all such ideas received a
merited rebuke at the ballotbox. The
question Of issuing license, however, was
lost by majority. l give below the
result of the election. Those persons
receiving the highest number Of votes

cast was 50, of which the following

A Midnight Duel.

The. Washington correspondent of
the Boston Journal writes: "Among
the many bloody duels on record as
having been fought by Congressman
was one in which James Jackson, OF
Georgia-who had been and was after
ward United States Senator-was the
challenged party. He was an English
man by birth, but he went to Savannah
when lad, studied law, was leading
Freemason, and fought gallantly in the
Revolutionary war. He killed Lieu
tenant-Governor Wells in 1880. in o
duel, and was engaged IN several other
affairs of honor until he finally de-
termined to accept a challenge in such
terms as would make it his last duel.
So he prescribed as the terms that
each party, armed with a double-bar-
relied gun loaded with buckshot, and
with hunting-knite. should row him.
self in a skitf to designated points on
opposite sides of the Savannah River.
When the city clock struck twelve each
should row his skitf to a small island in
the middle of the river, which was
wooded and covered with underbrush.
On arriving at the island each was to
moor his skiff, stand by it for ten min
utes, and then go about on the island
until the meeting took place. The
seconds waited on the main land until
after one o'clock, when they heard
three gun-shots and loud and angry
cries. Then all was still. At daylight,
as had been agreed upon, the seconds
went to the island, and found jackson
lying on the ground, insensible from
loss OF blood, and his antagonist lying
across him, dead. Jackson recovered,
but he would never relate his expe-
rience on that night, nor. was he ever
challenged again. He died in this city,
while serving his second term as Unit
ed States Senator, March 10, 1867
