 PAINFUL 0ocURRENoE,-We notice the death of Dr. John c. Jenifer, of Helena, am nounced in the Journal of that place on the 23nd nlt.

 Tine particulars are not given, as the other party is in custody for xaminaiion-lurther than it appears some misunderstanding had existed between tue deceased and Dr. Grant, who is also a citizen of that place. Upon meeting. some words ensued, weapons were drawn and the aifiay ended in the death of the gentleman above named-he having received pistol bail from his opponents weapon, en- tering near the pit of the stomach.

 He lived about an hour after receiving the wound.

 Dr. Jeniier was a son, we believe, of the late Minister of the United States, to the Kingdom of Austria.
