G.LENA, Illinois, Feb d. 1874.
tragical affair came off al Snake Hollow, Grant
County, Wisconsin. thirty miles from this city, yes
terday morning, which resulted in the death OF
Charles La;imer, ESQ. Counsellor az Law. The
circumstances, as related 10 me, these: tseems
that Col. v nte, kentuckiaa, and formerly mem
Der of the kentucky Legislature, had on the pre-
vious evening been singing a Wing song at the Wis
consin House, and that Latmer, who was present,
had applied TO him some degrading epither, where
upon Col. w. slapped him in he face. Latmer
,fereupon challenged White to fight duel and the
challenge was Immediately accepted. Mr.. Clos
ter who also had bad a dIfticuty with Latmer,
10 act as the friend of Col. " This all took place
on Thursday evening. On Friday yesterday morn
ing Latiner met Gloster in passing through the hall
Of the Wisconsin House 10 breakfast, and without
giving him any notice, drew pistol and fred at
him. the ball grazing his breast, bat without dong
hin any injury. Goster then seized rife to de-
iend himself but before firing, Latmer snapped an
other pistol at him, which did not go of. GIoster
then discharged his rife and killed Latmer upon the
spot.


Latimer was an Englshman and Canadian
Patriot He was bachelor and mau OF inte-
gence. When himself he was an amlabe, gentle
manly and kind hearted man, but in his fits ofnem-
perance, to which he was subject, he became violent
and irasclbe.


There is every indication now that our river will
sooG be open and that steamboat navigation will be
resumed in a few dnvs. our winter has been re-
nlarkably mild and pleasant. The amount OF Lead
upon oar levee is not as great as last year. The
roads have been so bad during the winter that the
smelters have not been able 10 send II IN.


All is right for CLAY and Davis in these dlggins.


Yours &c.
