ALMOST A DUEL;
. .
• We have just been made acquainted.with the
following facts, in teference toe difficulty which
came Very peer being settled, agreeably ..to the
laws of the' "rude dr!elloi". the preventing cause
being inserted in'its proper place.: •It appears,
that two of.our citizens had a little Aifficulty
about s sawing wood. Sharp words .were ex-.
cheng,ed:and hard blows Would have'. 'been the
result, had it not struck one of the, parties that
.a dnel vreuld be amore honorable and satisfac

ly a Chalenge vras aent and accepted. Seconds
Were chosen, horse;.pistols selected as Weapons,

12 o'clock .A. M., 'on Monday:Feb.l3ol.
One of the parties appeared noxious far the:
time . to order that he might • wipe
out the insult that-:had.been .given,him.. or he
himself wiped .out of existence. 'Like - a
thoughtftd man,.he settled tip his business;
that he . might be prepared for tbe latter contin
gency: At just 30 minutes:past 11 o'cliick, on
the appointed day , the parties • met.' The . 'sec
ond; loaded the pistols and _ stepped. offAhe'dii.
tance, efterwhich they placed the 'principals
in their . pbsitiOns rind handed them the pistols..
The. crisis had now been reached: . The sec
onds stepped back from their pnen and 'prepared
to give the word of command,—when lo! the
pistol drops freim the hand of one of the belli
terents.and the last seen of •hin3 Was. his coat
tail turning the' corner at.2..10 speed. Thui
ended what might otherwise.have been alerri
ble tragedy. The pistols, we believe s contained.
nothing but a little powder .--Ilunling
LOUIS NAVOLi:ON HORSEMAN..-A .Paris
letter writer thus discribes'Louis Napoleon on
one the spacious•aVenues of that imperial city:
—ciDriving a pair'of splendid bays.attached
.to.
a box wagon,:with the reins in hi'S own heed's,
and handling them as 'though he was aceustom
ed•to it; without :any outriders," equerries or
guardi,-the Enriperot Napoleon came along the
avenue. He. was .dressed with a' black over
coat, and' aliat which . was a fashion of his own.
The,points of his moustache look particularly
sharp :and hia ccimperial" as thoueh it had just
ce'rtiele.Mn the barber's.' It required a "steady
and a'quiclr'eye to guide the dashing horses
through the immetise'throng of vehicles of every
descriptiOn which filled the.avenue, particularly:
as the driver, while keeping'one eye upon the
'steeds, was obliged with, the other to acknowl
edge the salutations which he received on eve
ry side, and he kept up a continued bowing.. I
consider Myself a tolerably good Democrat, but,
I took my bat entirely from my head as he.
passed, A great man is he-Lhe.bes. been suc
cessful, and cant as pseudo-phitosophers may .
about it; success. is the. true. measure Of -great
mien, after all... The Emperor giveis as yet no
signs of age,(he will be p. on the 20th of April
next,) but looks : fresh and young, I think, as
when :I saw him five years ago, before *he 'had
the whole weight of Europe' on hie shoulders,
and the . POpe:down on him." • • .
