John Jnmrs And niton, A few ycara ago there arrived al tho hotel reeled near tlio Niagara Falls, an mid looking man, whose appearance and deportment were quite in contrast with the crowd of well dres sed and polished figures which adorned that celebrated resort. lie seemed just to have sprung from the woods; his drees, which was made of leather, stood dreadfully in need of re pair, apparently not having felt the touch of the needle woman for many a long month. A worn nut blanket, that might have served for a bed, was buckled on his shoulders; a large knife hung on one side, balanced by a long rimy tin box on the other; and his beard, uncropprd, lang'ed and course, fell down upon his bosom, ns if to counterpoise the weight of the dark thick locks that supported themselves on his back an J shoulders.

It is said that a Yankee's ingenuity is adequate to uny emergency, and whether coaxing a con sulship out of Congress, or catching coons, his brain ever teems with some huge plan, to cir cumnavigate the globe in a mackerel smack, or convert sawdust into anti-dyspeptic pills. Some such unique scheme must have entered into the head of the hunters having possession of the butlaloe herd now in this city. The history of their taking, as gathered from the owner, is substantially as fallows: In April, 141, a "native" residing some where this side ot sun down, in Missouri, ga thered together a company of seventeen men, twelve horses, four wagons, and fifty-five cows and calves with an intent to traverse the im mense plain near the base of the Ilocky Moun tains, in search of young buffaloes. After reaching the scene of operations, the I hunters would select half a dozen of the fleetest am, (lasI ()T; Anib.,ikCt t0 tll0 plain. .. a h(iy W01lM ,,ol( up mlJ c(lu. tiouslv approach the animals, keeping well to , n .......p.. to nr,.Vcnt the ani- ...... , , muls from taking alarm, which they easily do when the hunter is to windward. Once near enough, a rush is made among the herd, and by nil,,Mof ,,,, lIie .Ml.x can IIlole f catching , .. , , ,, , eat'le wnh a rope, several of the creatures ' would be secured. I he hunters aimed at tin calves, hut if they missed them and happened , to catch a tartar, that was likely to prove on ugly customer, the rifle was brought into re quest immediately, and the animal despatched. Such of the young as were secured, would be taken buck to the encampment, nnd domes ticated by killing a calf belonging to one ofthe cows which they took with them on their depar ture ft 0111 home the cow and her young oil spring, ot the same time, having been fastened to a stake to prevent escape. In a week the young bulllilo w ould become so much attached to 'lauley,' that it would be loosened and suffer ed to run at large with the cow, and from that time the two were inseparable. In this man ner, after a period of tour months, the whole were taken and domesticated. When the hunters hud secured 37 young buffaloes, an antelope, and an elk, the whole returned ogam to their homes. The locution ot tlie r operation wis on the Arkansas, some M) miles V. S. (rem Independence, Mo., tar beyond the present bounds of civilization. The animals are now some fifteen months old, and are particularly fond of oats or other train, hut eat with avidity well cured hay or grass. One ofthe cows used in the hunting excursion is still with the herd, and acts as a kind of bell wether, the one to go ahead, and is followed by the buffaloes in a drove from one point to ano' ther, where the proprietors deem it best to ex hibit. In a few weeks they will reach New j York, where if not disjroscd of, they will be i shipped to Europe. Hn'ulu Com. AJicr. Ritlrpntlon of the Pur olid Gland. This fearful operation was mccen-fully perform ed in the ncihtmring village of I-Bnilx rinn, on Tuesday la-t,ly Tr. James U. Coleman r-f Trenton. The sulject was John GiMm, a young man, twenty eight years old. The gland was much enlarged nnd crowded into the throat, so that the patient could wareely breathe or swallow It was increas ing rapidly, and must in a short time, if nni re. moved, have caused death. It n horrid ly pain ful, so as lo prevent deep almost entirely. Doctor John McKuluay and Dr. 1'cti f Howell were roerit during the operation. The glaudlica in the ruck, Ixlow the ear, and parses deep in behind the jnw. One of the largest aitorics to supply the lrnin with blood is in close contact with the glnd, and another of eyu il size passes through it. In the or.ilion, the latter most be cut off; but the other must not lie cut, for it would pi o Jure almost immediate death. Yet it it most difficult to avoid rutting it, as the gland lo he taken out lim upon it; this and the dithVulty of finding it is Inrre'ised by the diseased state of the parts. Should the knife strike it unexpected- Jly.orhyan accidental motion, the patient would die under the surgeon's hand. The operation was begun about 12 o'clock.

Trenton Stale Gazette. Frvm the iVfie York Tribune. Two Duels. Gentlemen nnw-a-dnys find g.eat difficulty in vindicating their honor. They see that their neigh I I....M lnrnni.1 i Im.. ..Cllintn I. n.Hn hi... . .' . . , that it i- not in quite as good condition as could he desired. Ofonirie th y feel concerned about it, and set themselves to repair the hreaeh. Now many very simple people would suppose that the proper mode of i ff. cting this di sirahlo object would lie to do something worlhy of honor : to evince in daily life such a manly bearing, such a high re. gaol lor truth anil t or dealing, aiu b an u'ter de testation of every tiling base tinJ ignoble, and so profounJ a ie-iect for all the demands of Law and all ihe deceneii's and humanities of life a should shut the mouth of slander nnd compel Ihe homage of every man who.-e praise was worth the seeking They would fill into a grievous error. This is just nn way (it till ; and a all 'honorable m n' will alKrm w.uilj inevitably gain them more kirks than coppers. -There is but one way of proving in the face of the whole wo ld that you a.e the very soul of honor and that is, like a general formula, applicable to every conceivable case The process is very simple und consists merely in this : tand up ar a respectable di.-tunce and al low the first hi arkiiiarj who may request the privilege, to shoot bullets i.t you with either pis tol or rifle until he is satisfied, you, at the same lime reluming the compliment. In this way whether yr.u are cifor-iled or not (whirh is a very minor consideration,) youi linmir is proved lo a demonstration, and no in .n thereafter will venture to question it. You may then art your pleasure you may set at defi .nee every requirement of law, Imih human and divine; you may plunge into every depth of low disgraceful conduct ; but if you are thus willing to shoot ut your mighbor and allow him lo shoot buck, you are a gentleman in spite of your teeth. We have two note-worthy instances of this to record this morning. We give liolh, and allow our readera to m .ke their own comparisons. The first ocrurrej in this wise : Two gentlemen, named respectively Humphi"y Vainey, jr., and Tom tiooilwin, in Lebanon, Mo., became involved in some personal d jTirohirs, which the aggrieved party resolvi J to settle after the approved method as we have given it above. He theref .re sent his adversary ihe following note, as copied verba lim : Lebanon June. the. S. 1H-12 "To Tom goodwin I want to have this fuss mi lled and the sooner it is settled Ihe better and it ap ears to be this the point Of ihe sword niusket or pistol must settle it and Thairfore I Challenge you for A duel and I bore you Will rxerpl this this Cant he settled on any fairer terms So I challenge you to meet me on this Occasion. Cume un Tom.' Come on Humphrey Varney Jr." Hut it seems thi 'Tom did'nt cho ise to 'come on. He rememliered that there was such a thing as Law in his State made npieslv for such emergencies and he accordingly applied to it for protection. Mr. Yarney was taken into cu-lrdy and bound in ihe sum of ?700 not 10 shoot Tom (foudwin. Thus ended Duel So. 1, Now for the other. Out readera are already aware that Col. Welti of iliia city and 'Tom' Marshall. Member of Con gresa, have each, for some time, been earnestly striving to prove by shooting the other that his limvir was above reproach. A tier a great deal of dillieully ihey brought about a ineeiing on Satur day morning. Tom 'rime on,' and just arros the imaginary line which separates Delaware from Pennsylvania, about three miles fiom Marrus Hook, on Namaau's t're. k, at about daylight' these twit gentlemen bail the supreme satisl rlion of (.lowing ut each oihers brains. The following was the prorera aawr find it recorded : "The parliea pas-a-d through Wilmington, on their way to the place of meeting, the afternoon previous wiih ihe intention of fighting at thai time ; but the number of people who were drawn lo geiher by the preparations rendered necessary ihe pos'p nement of the ineeiing until the following morning. In the mean lime Col. Webb passed over into Ncw-Jer ey, and returned about 1 1 in the evening, sleeping in his carriage all night. Mr. Mtr.-I.all, his broihei, surgeon aud second, slept at Marcos Hook laiern. A little before daylight the next morning, the principals, their seconds, mid a number of gentle, men from this city, who had hastened lo the spot upon hearing a rumor lhat the alT.ir waa to come off, appeared upon the ground. A lino-1 iminedi a'ely after their arrival, the a.coiuls tos-4-d up for a thoice of position, and ihe pine falling among the grass, oie dispute arose as t which party had won. Uolh aeconda deli rnainedly refused lo J yield. It was settleJ, however, by Mr. Marshall request ing his second, Dr. Kerr, of Washington, to yield the point. This request, however, tho second de. clined. Mr. Marshall then, with some warmth, aid, 'Give it lo them. Doctor give it to them. I came here to have a ihil tit him. ami Jo tint mean to be baffled by trijlet. Mr. Mnrrell, the second of Colonel Webb, tartly replied. "We ask you lo give nothing we ask hut what is our right." The point was yielJed.as Mr. Marshall desired it ahoulJ be. They then proceeded lo decide, in the same man ner as to which of the seconds should give the word, which was won by the second of Col Webb, Thus Col. Webb had ihe choice of position and the giving of the word. The preliminaries heing thus settled, the prinri pals were dr aired to lake their positions, which ihey did with a coolness and alacrity surprising to every erson present, enrh placing his left foot a gainst a a'one, so as to stand firmly, with the rieht leg s'ightly advanced towards bis antagonist, and the left supporting the wriuhl of ihe body. Dr. Kerr then desired Mr. Morrrll lo rend the arlicl'S of agreement governing the fiuh', which he did. This done, the filter gentleman asked in a clear and firm tone, "fJent'emen, are you ready V Upon which Mr Marshall answered, "So !r lam no,-" and pausing tor short time, Jijeing a keen and tenrchinir look upon liis antngonnt, he nnic ly lifted hit hat from liiu litntt and Itis.'cd it light ly frmn him, without altering hi position. "AW sir "continued Mr. M.,' lam ready. " The demeanor of Col. Webb during lh;s pro ceeding was peifectly cord anJ Collected, and when Mr. Morrrll gave the word to fire, thus "Kire one two ihiee" the report was so nearly simul taneous, as to induce the belief with some ofthe sprctators that the Colonel h id not fired at all. The discharge was upon the word"one." A parley was then to ld by the seconds, and the principals not being satilied, preparations were made for a second exchange of shots, and the wea pons were reloaded and placed in their hand The same ceremony was then gone ih'ough, without al'eriog positions, and iiiunedi itely upon Ihe second discharge, Col. Webb was observed to wheel and stagger, up in which Dr. Ken called out to Mr. Morrell.-'Sir, your fri. ml is falling, why don't you ratrh him ?" but without wailing for a reply, tie stepped up and ciughl the Colonel in his I'm'. The ball had taken cflivt in the back part of the lefl leg of Col. Webb, and Uion asceilaining that it was not fatal, Mr Mitnhull inxistrd on having anothir tint, rematking, at the same time, that Col. Webb had injured him more than all oilier men, and, if it were possible for him to stand, he would expert him again to resume his pnn'tiun. The second and surgeon of the wounded man Hisi. lively refused to permit this, alleging that l.e wi uld be fighting under great disadvantages and this, together wiih the interference of the fpectators, haJ the effect to prevent any further hostilities. The younger brother of Mr. Marshall, who had during the ft i ing retired some two or three hundred yards from the party, came up and was quite vche men! in his declarations thai ihe miller should not proceed farther rematking lhat his brother ought not to ask it, and lhat be ought to thank his God lhat the consequences were not more serious than ihry were. Col. Webb, while reclining in the arms of his friends, said that he had not then, nor find he ever had any unkind feeling towards Mr. Marshall. This, however, waa not said to Mr. M., nor was il tffiritilly enmmunirated to him, and the parties left the ground, villi apparently, the tame hotti!e feeling with which they met upon it. It is understood that the wound of Col. Wibb has severed the sinews of the leg, and il is snppos. d will cause I imeness for life, but will not endangi r the safety of the limb. The Colonel arrived at the UniteJ States Hotel about nine o'clock this morn ning, having first breakfasted al (.'heater, and he appears lo be cheerful, and very little atf cled by his encounter. He is, however, incapable of stand ing without support. Among the spectators were Mr. Crittenden of Ky., Josiah Handall, Esq , of this city, Mr. Mar ahull, the brother of the party, and a numlier of respectable individuals from Washington, Wil mington and Philadelphia, who all bear testimony tothe roolnesa aud dehlieralion of the patties. Thus ended Duel No. 2 in a manner, in our opinion, not half as satixfartory as the first. 'Mr. Marshall,' it seems, 'insisted upon having another thot t but as he did not get it we supjioe it ia somewhat doubtful whether At honor ia yet prr ftetly bright. As for lhat of Col. Webb we were inclined lo believe that even he hiimelf could not h.reufter doubt bis biinga perlrrl, immaculate gentleman of the moat approved style. We camn to this conclusion, however, before having read the following paragraph ill the Philadelphia Eve ning Journal : "Our W ashington correspondent on Tuesday slated that the above duel waa in contemplation and would soon take place.
