“ Horatio Cozens, Esq. a distinguish

of this paper, who was there atthc time,

he wislied to speak to him. Mr. Cozens
complied with this rc(iuest, and Mr. S.

between two of the citizens, growiuj'out
of a private misunderstanding. One fire
was exchanged with jiistols, butnoeil'eci
being produced, they had recourse, ac-

The affair ended in the death of one of
the parties, he having received his antag

of the jiarlies were Theodore Preval, ag
ed nineteen years, and Zephir Canonge,
and originated in an alTroni having been

Canonge. 'I'he following notice of the

Over the grave of young Preval, a dis-
ctjurse was pronounced by jNlr. Pieire

habitual drunkard, resiiling in Petoboro,
went to his house in a stale of partial in
ebriation. A little child whose breath
fie had already poisoned by feeding it
with the intoxicating liquor, approached
him, crying for whiskey. The monster,
iimler a pretence of curing an appetite
which his inhuman hand had created and
cherished, administered nearly a pint of
the liquor, from the eiVects of whl:h the
child nev-r recovered, bat died in the
