ROCHEFOR1"S EIGHTH ID UEL,
He Receives n Severe Wound in an EncouI
ter with NJ. IkoocIlln,

Henri Rochctort, tho notorious
French Communist, fought duel in
Switzerland on Friday, with 4 Mr..
k0cchlin. 1t is stated that SO far as
courage goes there was nothing to
choose between the two antagonists,
although Rochctort was much moro
ncrvously excited and irritutcd than
Kocchlin. The latter is tall, strongly
built man, about twcnty-ninc wears of
age. Hc was formerly Il cavalry Off
Ger, but is now the director OF q largo
factory at Rheims.
The encounter lasted barely two
minutes. At the first pass Rocheiort,
who, like Koechlin. wore gloves, lost
hold of his sword, and as he was at
weapon pierced him III the stomach.
The physicians Immediately interfrrcd
and forbade tho continuation Of the
combat. The wound is seemingly
small, but is deep in the cpigastric
region. near the stcrnum, 1t is much
swollen and extremely painful. Had
it been triflc deeper Roohotort must
have been killed. This is Rochciort's
eighth duel. In nearly all he has been
wounded. In this last encounter the
advcrsarics did not shake hands or
speak to each other before or after the
duel. On the way home Rocllcforrs
carriage drove past young Rochefort
and two correspondents Of the Mot
NO'rlre, who had just gone out 10 get
news Of the duel. "Good-day," said
Rochctort, briefly, wL AM wounded.
It's nothing TO speak Of" The four
seconds were stopped by the gen
darmcs Of the Canton, who had got
wind Of the affair. The seconds, how
ever, succeeded in passing themselves
Oft as tourists, and escaped. NJ. Vilar,
the correspondent who was so much
disinclined to fight, represented the
Figaro in Geneva at the time, and not
the G0ulotS. This morning the entire
staff of the latter journal declare thcm-
selves ready and willing to fight any
number. Of ducls with young Roche
forts friends, Lcppelleticr Of the Not
UOrttTe and the Communist Olivier
Pain. If these latter will only tread
on the coat tails Of the bcligercnt
scribes of the Gaulois there will be Il
good time for the undertakers.
AN ADVENTURE IN a HOG TROUGH.
During the recent swell in the Ca
taWba River, from heavy rains in
North Carolina, our farmer friend, Mr..
Geo. McC. WithcrspoUn, dr., had quite
an adventure. Elo wanted to visit Il
fish basket in the river, and The bnteau
not being at hand, he concluded he
would get into an old hog trough which
was lying on the bank of the river,
and row himself out to where the bas-
kct was fastened. Accordingly he set
sail and was not long in reaching his
destination, but venturing little be-
yond, lie struck the current of the riy-
CT. when the trough became unlnana &C.
able and began to whirl around like IL
top, bearing down the river at the
same time at a rapid rate. Just below
the point where he launched his canoe
the river is considerably sboaly. The
hog trough sailed over tho rocks and
down the rapids like an arrow, still
whirling, until it reached the deep wa
ter near Fudge's Island, where he
gained control OF his vessel, when he
set sail for land in earnest. He fortu-
natcly landed without sustaining any
injury. Hc is resolved, however, that
a hog trough is poor dependence on q
swollen river.-Lancastcr RevicU.
No HEBREWS Consider
able stir has been created in New
York over the announcement that Mr..
Lackmier, proprietor Of st. Mark S
Hotel. Staten Island, had posi-
lively refused TO furnish accomm oda-
tions to Mrs. jacob, wife of an e,ni-
ncnt Hebrew medical practitioner, of
New York, and her family. Mrs
Jacob occupies most cnviablc social
position, is descendant Of Gen. Israel
Putnam, of Revolutionary memory, is
a sister Of George P. Putnam, tho we'll
known publisher, and has never en-
bnccd the Hebrew religion. Accord
ing to Mrs. JacObi's statement, which
is confirmed by the landlord, when she
announced her namo he replied: awe
have decided not to take any Hebrews
this year; wo felt that they injured us
last year." I.ackmier said though
Mrs. Jacob was not q Hebrew, she
would be entering wedge in st. Marks
new policy that would not leave
it whole week, and that to admit q
member Of jewish family at tho
START would hardly be fair way to
test it,"
A LADY SHoT.--We are informed
that very recently, Mr.. Turner Barber,
a gentleman living in Pleasant Valley
township, was the innocent cause of q
very painful accident to Mrs. Barber,
his wife. Our information is to the
effect that as Mr.. Barber was in tho
act taking scat in n chair tho ham
mer ola pistol, which he was carrying
III one ofhis coat-pockets, accidentally
came in contact with the chair. The
weapon exploded, the ball taking ef-
fectin one Of Mrs. Barber's ankles,
penetrating tho bone. We understand
the wound is not serious one, but
very painful.--LancaSter Review.
