A Two StIII.I.INO A FF.I llt Or HONOR.—A little affair came off between two of our citizens on last Saturday which gave rise to well grounded and sanguine expectations of a sanguinary result. The principals were a well known temperance landlord, a rising "tewth doctor," a distinguished artist, (sign and urnamental,) and other citizens, of good repute for honesty and well disposed to the good order of society; the aceessories were a popular lager beer dealer, and a well known lager beer drinker and con fectiuner. The latter gentlemen had quar reled over the score, one party insisting on the correctness of the "chalk" of one dollar, the other standing on seventy-five cents. The lie was given, and the consumer ordered to "git mein house out" by the vender. The spirits of the principals to the quarrel could , little brook this injury,and demanded apology satisfeetion. Willing to go any length to soothe the wounded feelings of his punctili ous friends, the insulted drinker entered into a correspondence with the offending drawer, requiring retraction of the prohi bition to enter the doors and drink at the table of the latter, or—blood! The spirited vender of malt replied that he would meet the candy man any where but over the beer. Ile of the sweet tooth rejoined that he would be glad to see "Bratzels" over the water. Accordingly the principals, attended by "Beer" and "Candy," took boat on Saturday afternoon fur Big Island, above ! the bridge. A number of indifferent out siders accompanied the expedition, which roar:hod its destination safely. The "Sheriff," seeing his domain invaded by so strong a baud, prepared fur defense, think ing his late cucumbers in danger, but being satisfied as to the peaceful elmraotor of the inroad by the assurance that the parties were only going to fight a duel, remained and gave the affair his countenance. The secunds made every honorable endeavor to adjust the difficulty, but the principals were boond to have blood, and insisted on the offending parties fighting it out—they were not going, to be brought out there fur noth- ing. The weapons were produced, loaded and fired at g. h;ark, by way of strengthen ing the nerves of the peeeeful belligerents. The principals then reloaded and placed the seconds iu Pusitioll,—"blger" having won the toss insisted that the fight should be over a handkerchief, ho holding one end and "Candy" the other—and "Jos," the principal principal, made a neat and touch ing little address. lle recapitulated the grounds of quarrel, reminded the parties that every measure of reconciliation had been stprnly rejected by himself and his de.pi;ty principals, assured them that they, the 4.7,conds, were there to fight it cut, that blood ww.s. likply to flow—that, in short, not to put too Alno # point upon it, both parties were very certain of being killed. In this extremity he c:ltortr.d them to boar them• selves as men having the sacred honor of their friends in their respective hands. lle entreated one to remewber his aged mother, the other to recall 1,.* 1 -...jr 2 and innocent children, and , if . thty /::d ipy last dying words and wisllp' w commucipate to spit them out quickly, hefure the word was given. The family "cremes brought "Candy" to his feeklngs ntsiO Its appealed directly to "Lager," asking b„iin whether he had him in 1 11 not ins . ult.e d - (".I.,ager's") own house. "J..ager" replied ths.t he cer tainly had done so, and was w,epared to i giye any satisfaction be depended. 'Candy" assured him that enough bud been said; if "Lager" arawed the iusnit be was perfectly satisfied; he was not unrea sonable, and this was all that he could ask. Emhrassez moi, men fire. In vain the principals remonstrated, as suF:ing their men that it was entirely ir regular fur the secomis tp arrange an affair without the full concurrence of the former. They were told to go to the devil; the matter was finally settled. Under these circumstances "sawbones" put up his meat knives, "Jos" pocketed the weapons, (he had a good old time drawing the loads, of black sand.) and the whole party returned to town where ap enthusiastic reception awaited them, l'here were some high old loads (not of sand) on that evening. Police 'temp REPORTED DT OUR SPEC}AL "SIODOILARD." A BIG Haut.—A MILWOV STOLEN.—On Monday 31. st ult., gawar4 Fierstine, of the Canal Department, appeared before Justice Welsh and made complaint against Wally Lockard and John McFadden, for stealing from him, at the lower out-let lock, a silk pueket handkerchief and a million. The amount of the plunder staggered the justice for a moment, but catching his breath after a "spell" be promptly filled up a warrant for the robbers, and with it Hollingsworth followed in hot pursuit. After a severe chase which endured till evening, the officer came up with one of the offenders fast asleep , on a Tile of cross-ties, back of the basin, and marched him to the Blue Front. He was there searched, but no spoils discovered. The magistrate gathered his austere coun t tenange into its Eastern Penitentiary puck er and thundered, "Wally, where the dev il's the money?" Prisoner, (pretty drunk.) "Wammoneysqui? " The million, the million, what have you done with the mill ion?" "Me'nfatinspltupneat't." "You and McFadden split it up and eat it! Hun Hol lingsworth! an emetic, a stomach pump! a boat pump will do! What the devil did you swallow the money for, Wally?" “Didnswal nonioneysqui," "Well, what in the name of Justice did you swallow, then?" ionsqui, watermilliont me'nfadneat'tsqui— fueratemillion. The 'Squire hadn't the face to take advantage of the prisoner's naive confession, but not to be balked en tirely of his nrey, committed Wally for flO days at laid labor fur drunkenness and va grancy. The millionaire went down next morning by Hollingsworth's opposition es- press. ONE OF TILE "COWBELLOCI ANS."--01/ iVadnesday, 7th inst., information was dis patched from the Basin to Justice Webth'e office, that an unknown Dutchman was in the not of oemmitting fele de se by drowning in a mud puddle in the old depot, The Justice, accompanied by the Deputy Coro ner, immediately started in quest of the "rashly importunate," empanelling a jury of some fifty Irish juveniles by the way.— Arrived at the fatal spot the body was not to be seen and the party waited in breath less suspense while the pool was drugged, (a bare-legged youngster waded through it end felt fur deceased with his feet,) but were much disappointed by a water haul.— The jury was instructed that it would be impossible to fluid a verdict until the re mains were found, and the members scat tered in search. A very keen scented youth soon nosed out the body, which was dis covered in a pig pen, in the rear of the Sul livan house, where it lay in close proximity to one of Sullivan's "self sharpeners."— Denny O'Collins, foreman of the jury, vol unteered to stir up deceased, and did so by a few well planted kicks in the ribs, at the same time disturbing Dutchy's fellow hog. The remedy so humanely applied by young Denny had a resusciating effect; the sup posed corpse gave a grunt, a stretch, and hiccuped "Ein lager." The inquest was adjourned to the Blue Front, whither Dutchy was walked. Here, through an interpreter, he made himself known as Gutlieb Spitlack, of Adams County, maker and vender of cow bells. His stock having accumulated beyond the want of his county, (cow bells are in demand in Adams, as all the stock is turned loose to pick and steel a living where it can,) Gotlieb packed three gross on his back and adventured into the distent regions of York and Lancaster. Ile had successfully disposed of a portion of his wares between York and Wrightsville, but in this immediate section met with little en couragement (He might have got off a few to the bell-wethers of the different political parties.) As lie could not sell for cash lie resolved to dicker, and accordingly bartered off a boll at the Sullivan for one of the few 1.611111;114)g pints of genuine McGinnis. accustomed to the fiery beverage of civili zation Spitlick was speedily knocked by Sullivan's best, and in his cups managed, with little advantage to himself, to part with his remaiuing bells, his loose cash and his nether garments, receiving in exchange a black eye, a flattened nose, a shattered mug, and almost a verdict of "fiend drowned." The Justice, in view of anlieb's untoward luck, let him off with an admoni tion never again to trade his sounding brass against the less sonorous but more potent hardware of the Basin. Ile advised the prisoner to start direct for the wilds of Mona aud 'showed him the hole in the bridge, the which Dutchy entered and shook the dust of Columbia from his feet.
