4 tragica affair came of at Snake Hollow, Grant
County, Wisconsin, thirty miles from this city, yes.
terday morning, which resulted IN the death Of
Charles Latimer, ESQ. Counsellor al Law. The
circumstances as related to me, these: Ii seems
that Col White, a kentuckian, and formerly mem
Der OF the kentucky Legislature, had on the pre-
v!ous evening been singing a Wing song at the Wis
consin House, and that Latimer, who was present.
had applied 10 him some degrading ep,het, where
upon Col. w. slapped him in The face. Latimer
rhereupon challenged White 10 fight duel and the
challenge was Immediately accepted. A Mir. Clos
ter, who also had had difficulty with latimer, was
TO act as the friend Of Col. w This all took place
on Thursday evening. On Friday yesterday morn
ing Latimer met Glosler in passing through the hall
of the Wisconsin House to breakfast, and without
giving him any notice, drew pistol and fired at
him. the ball grazing his breast, but without doing
iend himself but before firing, Latmer snapped an
other pistol at him, which did not go of. Gloster
then discharged his rifle and killed Lamer upon the
spot.


Latimer was an Englishman and Canadian
Patriot He bachelor and a man OF inteli-
gence. When himself he was an amlable, gentle
manly and kind hearted man, but in his fits otintem-
perance, 10 which he was subject he became violent
and irascible.
There is every indication now that our river will
soon be open and that steamboat navigation will be
resumed in few days. Our winter has been re-
markably mild and pleasant. The amount Of Lead
roads have been so bad during the winter that the
smeters have not been able to send it in.


All is right for Clay and Davis in these dggins
