Mr.. Richard +. Beirnc, editor of the
Richmond State, and Mr.. VIM. G. Elan,
editor of the Wing, fought a duel near
wayuesboro, Va, on Saturday last. The
affair originated in the bitter political
controversy between the two men In their
respective papers, and Deirne, who Is
Democrat, challenged Elan, supporter
of Mahoneism. After lodging the oili-
GERS of the law for nearly week, the
parties met on the farm of Philip Killian,
near WayncsbOro, where the duel took
place. Be:rnc's seconds were Frank
Wright, OF Petersburg, and W. (. Chock-
Low, of Richmond. Elam's seconds were
Shelly Lewis, of Rockingham, aud John
ID. Smelling. The weapons were Colts
revolvers, of 81 calibre, and the distance
WAS eight PAGES.
When the men reached the ground
there were several gentlemen present
who we're rot immediately connected with
the affair. They were asked to retire, and
they did 50. There was no delay in plac-
ing the combatants in position, and the
agreement was made that the shots were
to bc exchanged after the word "firc"
and before the word "three." in few
seconds came the words: Gentlemen,
are you ready? Fire! one, two, three"
Both pistols rang out in quick success
sion, one ball piercing the skirt Of sack
csst worn by Beirne, and the other going
wide of Elan. Beirne, rs the challenging
party, Immediately demanded another
shot, and the same programme was re-
peated,. both shots being almost simulta-
neous, and just vt the word cone" AS
the sound of the sharp cracks were dying
away Elam staggered, his second ran for
ward and assisted him TO the cushion laid
OIL tho ground.
Ii WAS then discovered that he was
wounded in the right hip, the ball passing
through the fleshy part of that side and
striking the left hip. The wounded man
was under the impression that the ball
had penetrated both legs, and insisted
that such vas the case. When assured by
the surgeon that it had not even gone
through one leg, and that the intense pain
la the other was from sympathy, Elan
expressed regret that he had not demand
ed another shot. He was perfectly cool
and collected, and gave directions in =
strong, composed voice. Beirne also act
ed with deliberation and, although pale,
soemeG perfectly cool.
Beirne's seconds declared their princi-
pal satisfied. Bcirne then lifted his hat,
saluted his opponents, and entering his
carriage, was driven OFF, Elan soon after
being placed in All ambulance, which
started for tie residence of Lieutenant
Governor Lewis, some fifteen or twenty
miles distant

raRM AND HOUSEHOLD.

BLACKBERRY CAKE.-One teacupful of
rich. sour milk, or thin, sour cream; one
teaspoonful of soda, one or two cupfuls of
sugar, pinch of salt, and flour to make a
thick batter; stir in one, two or three cup
fuls of biackberries. The quantity Of SUI
gar and soda depends on the quality and
quantity Of the fruit.
NANTUCKET PUDDINa.-Six ounces rice,

kettle Of boiling water. Whom partly cool,
strain into it 4 pint Of cold cream, bring
1t TO scald, and stir la four beaten eggs
aud three-quartcrs OF pound Of sugar.
Let cool, and freeze. i have found that
In making water-ices, if the sugar be not
we'll stirred in before freezing, it will sink
to the bottom aud give to the mixture a
sharp, unpleasant taste. 1t is best to make
a syrup of sugar aud water by boiling,
and when cold, to add the pure juice Of
the fruit.

healthy il is necessary to guard against
over5earing. If the trees have not been

rior specimens. If weakened by overbear-
ing they fall sn easy prey to disease.

Sunday morning The bells were ring
ing for service at church, and the people
were going over the fields, when the lit
tie fellow began to think that he too
would like to pray to God But what
could he say? for he had never learned
any prayer. So he knelt down, and com
menced the alphabet. A B G ID and SO
on to H. a gentleman happening to pass
the other side of the hedge, heard the
lads voice, and looking through the
bushes saw the little fellow kneeling,
with folded hands and closed eyes, saying

with the saddcncd air of one who had
lost his grip on his reputation, Mr. Tootcr
Williams and the odor Of a Bowcry cigar
entered together
What de malder, Toot? inquired
Mr. Smith, with the easy familiarity of
man in luck "You looks 'spondent"
81 done loss dat sixty.fo' dollahs

Williams, gloomily.
The deepest interest having been
aroused, Mr. Williams proceeded to en-
tighten the members as follows:

here Mr.. Williams paused as if his re-
collections had overpowered him.
"An' den ?" echoed everybody, wildly
excited.

Smith.
