Independent, of lcitiiukccnces of men a nd

cfatiiiLj manlier el Commedore Stockton :
" An insult te the jentlemcii of the
American linvy, wiitten in a book that
was seen by everybody, was shown te
Stockton, when his ship, the Eiie, ar
livcd in the Ray of Naples. It beic the
.signature of a Rt itish eiliccr then in the
pett ; and the yeun lieiUenant, without
nunc ado, declared that the fellow .should
cat his wotdserliht him. A fiicud pro pre
pcily accredited was dispatched te the
British ship, and after a geed deal of de
mur, the author of the outrage was ;et
asheie and consented te light at long
range Their pistols were discharged at
the piepcr .signal, and Stockton's ball
shuck his adversaty in the leg, whcicupen
he bellowed out : " Yeu have hit use. Aie

ipoiegy ier the language you have
used." uhetcupeit his fellow lititaiiis de
elated that their man, having given satis
faction, was fvempt fien ftti titer proceed
ings, lip had vindicated his honor,
and that was enough. The Amciican
patty by no means accepted the dec'sien,
and s.tid scveial unpleasant things about
the cowardice which pieinpted this tnNe:
ablc subtet f uge.
I new conic te the i.sest maivcletis duel
ing adventtue m v,hich St.ckten was en
gaged : and this I ,hall give as I heard the
steiy told by its here, one day .titer dinner
and iu the presence of sevei.il gentlemen
w he wcie lingering about the tab'e. Since
wtiting out the nit rat ive given below, I
hac found iu th. Hostett city Hbi.irj" an
aiiou.MueU) life of Stockton. tiniMientlv
wiitien fei some political purpose and
published in kCiO." The wiiter gives an
account of this duel fieni hcatsay and
"aceeiding te hi. rcinciu'ur.ince." The
natiative ililicrs fiem mine in scveial ic
pjccts, and einils some stt iking pirticu
lais, which am cetlain that I hcatd from
the ptineipal actor. Thete must exist
niiitctials tei an authentic life of the bril
liant commodore, and a most intcicsling
book it would be. Xiither my memory
nor ny journals ate infaliible ; and. if any
pai tieulars ate mis stated (which I de net
believe te be the else) they ate ell'eiedas
subject te eoiteiiien by a lcspetisible
biegtapher.
The scene was at Gibialfar, mm theic

ton and a Ihilish elilcer attached te the
station, who, hew p; cr, was net the eliicer
ft em whom the afiient tt) be avenged had

ceunter-chasgcs. negotiations and elimination-,
till finally the Amciican ellicei in

worth senit-lhin, i wa.s roweilas'ueio, ac- I
eempanicd by my Mt-end ami th? ship's,
doctor." The sriaphie dcseiiptieti of what
followed nittst be j'iven in a leebic (itttline.
The A "'ci icans weie conducted re ;i pet i
near the top of the lock, v.hcie they met
the eppshijj ia:ty. It then appealed I
that no itumeiiiitc Iit;htin; was centctn-'
plated, ler the Englishman bean te enter
upon a discitsVien. and te raise fiivoleus
objections te tl;e leeognied cede of duel-1
in'. Stockton, pceimr tha; all this tcndul '
te delay and suspecting treachery, sudden- j
ly declared that he would waive all rights,
and fight at once upon whatever terms his
opponent ches.i te act. After such
.1 declaration te ictie.it was impossible.
The ground waa measured, shots weie ex
changed, and the Ksitish officer fdl
wounded, h'torkten advanced te iiauiiie
into the nalme of the injury, and ilten the
wretched man was shamed into a confes
sion that treachery has been practiced,
and that instant fli-iht was necessary if
his opponent would avoid at lest. Upen
this the lieutenant staitcd for his beat,
running at full speed. His way lay
through a passage cut out of the rock".
which gave access te the beach below.
Upen turning a comer, when about
half way down, he was confronted
by a Jile of soldiers, dt.iwn up te
oppose his passive. The pfiiccr iu com
mand was a puisy little fellow, who
seemed te enjoy hugely the discomfiture of
his supposed captive. Thete steed this
merry gentleman upon a parapet which
gnat ded the toad, and which v.as raised a
few feet above it. His squad was ratigcd
in a line with him, completely cutting off
the passage. There was net a moment
for delay; the rituatieu was desperate;
it could be met only by a leselve as des
P"tate. Th eflieer was off ids guard and
was chuckling with delight. New was the
instant for a dash. New stiffen the sinews,
summon up the bleed, and, there was jet
a chance for libcity. Instead of making
the sunender which was expected, Stock
ton sprang at the cheerful officer. lie
grappled with him; he get his iicad
under his arm ; he jumped with
him from the parapet, and iti a moment
the two men, clasped together, weie roll
ing ever and ever down the side of the
rock. Presently the paitics separated,
the Englishman rolling one way and the
American another. At length Stockton
managed te step his dizzying and perilous
descent, and dtepped a number of feet te
the beach below. Coveted with bleed
and diit, with his clothes ncaily stiipyed
from him, he accosted a gentleman who
was taking his "morning ride upon the
beach, and begged the instant lean of his
heisc. This request the rider net un
naturally declined. WhcrcupDii he was
seized by the leg and pulled fiem the sad
dle. His assailant instantly mounted the
heise, and, putting him te his speed, made
for the beat. He looked up for a moment,
and saw the soldiers l tinning about in a
distracted manner; most of them tearing
down the read, te cut him off. Stockton,
hewcvei, reached the beat, gave the order
te pull for the fiigate, and then fainted,
lie did net iccevcr consciousness until he
found himself in his berth en beard the
Eiie.
These events were related at the pcisiat-
enc request et ethers, ihey were given
modestly, but with gieat spirit. There
weie at that time living witnesses te
the escape and the facts connected with
it weie well known. I have alicady
saui that we must regard Stockton s
duels from the point of view of
the piofessien te which he was devoted.
The highest efficeis of the navy sanctioned
this barbarism as a duty te which a brave
and honorable man might be called
Only a few years belerc my visit te Wash

city en this miserable business. Decatur
and Rarren wcie the principals ; Rain

brave and gallant Decatur, the piide of the
Amciican navy, theic met his death. It
is net necessary te lesert te Chtistian

cost such valuable lives ; but let us de
justice te the high-minded men who were
victims of an infatuation which we have

Hun:? le Sure his Life and Still Alive.
In a lecent issue we published an account
of the breaking of the neck of Mr. James
Goupell, at Ramsey station. Cle.u field
county, and gave adesciiptien of the man
ner in which I)r. Edwaids had suspended
his patient, in the delicate ciloitte save
his life, which was nothing mete or less
than te hang him. Says the Osceola
JleeeiUe, from which we took the aiticle :
As thete has been a geed deal of doubt
cxpicsscd by some of the disciples of
Esculapius, among our readers, nud no
little sport made of our aiticle, by ncigh ncigh
beiing journals, we concluded te send a
rcpiescntative of our paper te see Mr.
Goupell, and a"-ceitaiu fiem himself,
whether the patty who gave us the data
for our article had, in any w ise, bseii mis
taken iu the information".
The peer man lcmaiiu'd in the suspend
ed condition we described him, from Mon
day 31st of January, until last Satuiday,
5th of February, sitting in bed, with the
bucket full of heavy weights stictchiughU
neck ana holding the broken bone te its
place, fearing te draw a full breath night or
day, never getting one wink of sleep until
Ftiday night, when wcaty nattne gave
way and he sank into a comatose state.
On Saturday the doctor vjnlured te re
lieeo the peer fellow fiem his ageni.hig
positienand in place of the bucket, with
its heavy weights, te keep the bone in
place, he substituted splintias, somewhat
after the plan adopted for a bteken limb,
differing only in the manner of binding
it. In lieu of the muslin stiips, Dr. Ed
waids adopted adhe-ive plaster, and that
in profusion, liteially gluing the splinteis
re the man's neck, and holding the broken
bone together.
-Mr. Geupjinns entirely recovered from
the fright he was thrown into when 1-e
was first infetmed of the miraculous es
cape he had made from iiista'it deatli and
tiie imminent peril he felt himseif in as
long as the bucket was attached te his
nee!:, which a jocular friend ieniarked,"he
might at moment kick ;" and lie nuv.nl
his head backwards a little, with great
cat e, as we noticed, te cenviiti-e us tint
it was done w ilh some little misgivings,
as if there was danger iu the nod, but he
did net veutuic te tuin it ;,ideway.s for us
nor did we wish him te try any such fool
ishness for our special benefit.
He is a young man of rcmaikable phy
sique, in geed health, stt icily adheres te
the doctor's erders, is determined te get.
well if it takes all summer, and bcirs with
great patience the neccss iry restrictions
placed upon him. Fiem this, it will be
seen, that he has the advantage of iccev
cry ever tens of thousands who might Iv
in I.is position.

with en the subject has ever hcatd or read
of a paiallel ease. And no one was ever
known te have lived any time, bofeie, who
had ids neck broken.
Mr. Goupell told us, in a jocular way,
th.t he expect ed te be back again at his
weil: by next Monday, lie cm new walk
around the mom, although he does net
1 date te turn his head yet. Dr. Edwards
j has siininly m-ilc a fame for himsjlf in
I this instance, and we offer him the cel

Men ill, the handsome huntiess of '"Wayne
ceuuiv. who a few d.ivs einee had a teni-
lible tussle with a big black bear, in which
she vanquished the beast, but icceived -. e
lii.us injuiics herself. The natrative as
told by the plucky Lettie te Mr. Nevans
, is. that mi last Jsatiuday, just alter the
gieat slcci storm which swept ever the
count i y, .she determined te go out en the
mountains ami leek for game. Aecoul Aeceul
ingly, slie denned her pantaloons of doe
skin, blue cloth blouse, and big snow
shoes and sallied forth, earijing with her,
of course, licr tiustyiillc and a brace el
pistols. While crossing a marsh, just be
lore ascending the mountain, she discov
ered feet pi inls of a bear. She seen found
burin's home iu acne in the rocks, and en
ji bed of leaves were lying two little cubs
no bigger thau kittens. She eaptuied the
pib:c and was retreating, when she
enceunteied an immense she bear, the
mother of the cubs, who had scented the
stranger. Ilcfetc Lettie could draw her
l illc.te her shoulder the animal was upon
her, and grasping her in her paws, gave
her such a terrible squee.c that she faint
ed, when the bear, thinking hrr d;ad, re
leased her grip. She fortunately legaincd
consciousness quickly, and while the old
bear was playiug with her cubs tiie plucky
linnticst drew her liflcand shot her in tlu
side. The bullet did net slrike the ani
mal's heait, and as the brute dashed at
her again Lettie dicw her hunting knife
and with one bold stieke neatly severed
the bcai's head fiem the body. Congrat
ulating hei self upon her natrew escape,
the brave huntiess picked tip the
cubs and staitcd henicw.ud. She had
proceeded but a sheit distance, however,
whsn sl.c enceunteied another of the sav
age beasts, and mate of the one she had
killed. Her rifle was unleaded. Un
sheathing her clasp knife as the beast ap
proached her, she plunged it into his
threat, but he had caught her for the fatal
hug. It was a struggle for life or death,
and the brave woman fought desperately.
During the struggle the girl and the bear
reached the edge of a cliff fully ahundted
feet high, and sloping at an angle of forty
five degrees down te the Wallinpaupaek
creek As the animal grabbed Lettie he
commenced sliding en the slippery
crust down this almost pet pellicu
lar slope. Lettie was can led with
him and every feet of the distance
traversed added te their velocity. When
they reached the feet of the slope they
struck against a tree, completely killing
the bear and breaking two of Lettie's libs
and dislocating her arm. She was picked
up insensible by some huuters and taken
t her home in Damascus. "Wayne county,
where she lies in a critical condition.
This is the third miraculous escape this
woman has had among the mountains.
Lettie is well knew throughout western
Maryland and across the Pennsylv.iLia
border. The male bear which she killed
weighted 41 pounds.

gave it up. rl hey then held another con
sultation, with heads close together, and

himself down en the watei'., edge, as if te

prectned a long beard, and liiuning it out
a slieit ttistauce beyond the ice, one of
them stepped upon it and together they
pulled the deg out. He was almost (lead
