We learn that an affray occurred few days
since the railroad between Mr. Goodwane,
professor of Penmanshp, and Mr.. s. Jones, At
torney at Law, from Pennsylvania, which had
peary proved fatal to one or both of the parties.
It appears they had been on terms of intimacy had
travelled and dined together Mr.. Jones made
some remarks relative to the English character
which Mr. Goodwane deemed personal, and re-
piled you have my opinion of this country, and pro-
duced an English newspaper in which Mr.. Good
wane had published letter relative to the United
States commenting on her improvements and on
the enterprise of the people. Mr.. Jones we learn
pronounced the letter 'Flasrry and Humbug;"
upon which MFR. Goodwane replied sir, for that
very ungentlemanly remark, I pronounce you
hunrbug. Mr.. Jones stepped forward and with a
cIenched fist struck Mr.. Goodwaue in the face.
The latter, retaliated we learn, with blows right
and left, which brought Mr. Jones to the ground.
Mfr. Jones on rising drew dirk and made thrust
at Mr. Goodwane who saved himself by wheeling
round At this moment the latter presented pistol
and shot at Mr.. Jones, the ball passing through
the crown of his hat Here we learn, by the time


y nterposition of gentleman present, the parties
were induced to abandon their contest.
