The Now York Evening Post OF Feb.
1, 1sO2--a century ago-contained the
following:
Yesterday morning an AFFAIR OF hon
or was settled at Hoebuck, between
Mr.. Chandler OF Philadelphia and Mr..
Carlisle OF Albany Three shots we're
exchanged. and the latter was wounded
In the thigh.
"A second was terminated at the
same place. between two gentlemen.
The particulars OF this are vari-
ously related. We give the follow
ing as the most current. and we be-
lieve the most correct: A challenge
was given about a fortnight since. and
time and place appointed, but no wea-
pons agreed upon. When the chal-
lenger came to the ground he per-
ceiyod his antagonist Cwho. II is said.
was a Yankeel there before him, with
two muskets. This. the Yankee in
formed him. was his mode OF aghtlng,
Offering him his choice OF the guns;
the other declined the musket. as not
gentleman's weapon. The Yankee
demonstrated that Il was placing him
on dlsadyantageous terms TO use pls-
tolls. as he had never fred one In his
life; but II the meeting could be post
poned for a fortnight. so that he might
practice In the meantime he was con-
tent to use pistols; or his adversary
might take the same time to practice
with the gun. and he would then meet
him with that weapon. The first offer
was acceded to. and the parties met
yesterday accordingly. Three shots on
each side were exchanged; the Yam
KEGS second FIRE carried away the
others pocket Zap, but his third shot
him through the heshy part OF both
thighs; and here the AFFAIR ended.
"The third duel took place In New
Jersey about ten days since. The only
particulars which have come to hand
worth mentioning are that there were
several spectators who accompanied
the parties TO tho field, and all OF
whom, together with the two seconds
climbed the trees, TO be thus out OF
harms way while they saw fair play.
But, as one OF the gentlemen chose to
terminate the anair by firing his pistol

ball passed through the upper limbs OF

antagonist had taken his post. and
who was so much alarmed at the whist

accident attending the exhibition; hap

The slide came without warning. The
three large buildings were carried

Odd or even Is a trick which viii
occasion considerable perplexity. and
yot Is very simple, You take a hand
ful OF coins or counters, and invite
another person to do the same. and
TO ascertain whether the number he
takes Is odd or even, You request the
company to observe that you have not
asked a single question OF him. but
that you are able. notwithstanding TO
divine his secret intentions and coun-
teract them. In proof OF this you
take a number OF coins and add them
TO those he has taken. n the number
no took was odd. tho total shall be
even; II even. the total shall be odd.

number on your own account He IL
now asked whether his number was
odd or even: and. the coins being
counted. the total number proves to be
as you stated. exactly the reverse.
The experiment Is tried again and
again with different numbers, but the
result Is always the same.
The result lies In the simple arith-
motical fact that II you add an odd
number 10 an even lumber the result
will be odd; II you add an odd NUM-
bor to an odd number the result viii
be even You have only to take care,
therefore. that the number you your
self add. whether large or small, shall
always be odd.
