Judge Wilsore's Duel:
When the late HOD. Mt Justi9e Wil-
son was a student in the !ace 6f Mr.
Jamie Bonito., of Perth, now of To-
rot:et°, a misfortune overtook .him, which
caused him a life long regret, at d di-.
reCted towards him at the time con,sielt
erable sympathy. This was his duo!
with Mr: Robert Lyon, a gentleman
who had been a friend of his own, and
a member of the SaMe profession. This
took place in the early part of 1843.
- At that day duels were of .frequent oc-
currence, a mode of avenging wounded:-
hOnor, which, if .now gone somewhat
out, of date, was then recognized as e
necessary usuage of Society among gen-
tl men. • It is needless to dwell at
length upon the cause of the quarrel,
but the spirit in which Mr Wilson en-
tered upon, it may be understood when
we bay that it was in order to justify
a lady of whom Mr. Lyon had spoken
impertinently, that led to the encount-
er. Mr. -Wilson was the .challenger,
Mr. Siinon Robinson acting as his se-
cond. Mr. II. Lelievre, a brother -i1.
law of the late Judge Small, perform-
ed similiar duties for Mr. Lyon: They
met at the appointed time, , just out-
side the district of Batherst, about
three-quarters of a mile out of Perth.
Shots were exchanged without effect,
and so unused eras either of them to
pittol practice—and flint loCks did
duty in those days—that the seconds
were under the impression that they
might fire some time before even a
wound would be -inflicted. It would.
have been well if the result had been
as .anticipeted. After the first shot
Mr. Robinson, Mr, Wilson's second,
advanced, and presented a paper, to
Mr. 11. Lelievie. 13 -pen unfolding -and
reading it, it proved to be a written
apology and retraction of offenSive
words, which it was demanded that
Mr. Lyon should sign. 111r; Lelievre
seid that lie could. not consent to Mr.
Lyon signing any such paper, but that
he should read it for himself. The.
document was then handed to Mr.
Lyon, who, when it had been read,.
threw it from him saying that he,
would never sign it, and wonld "have
another shot first" Positions were
then retaken and on this occasion the
bullet from ifr. Wilson's pistol entered
Mr. Lyon's side just under the uplifted
arm, and rierced his lungs. To the
consternation of all, Mr. Lyon fell on
his face, dead. Thereupon Mr. Wil-
son and -hie seconds returned to Perth;
and gave themselves up to tne authori-
ties. • They were detained in jail about
six weeks, when the Brockville Assi
zes came on, and they were tried be
Gaief Justice Rol iuson. Mr.
Wilson defended himself, and laying
all the facts before the jury, -was unan-
imously acquitted, as was his second.
Much enthusiasm was sho-wn on his be-.
half, not only on accormt of the mat-
ter which led to • the dnel, but the
manner, in which be c( -reported him-
sel throughout, and - words of encor-
agement and: oilers Of. assistance Came,
upon him from all sides.—London .Free

ceive. In this -water it must be boil-

colon—One ounce or more of chernic
blue is required for every pound of
cloth.'
PURPLE, EOR ONE LB.—Bcil
together one ounce of cndbear, one
dram of pearlash, for a quarter for an
hour ; throw in the cloth, and boil
for about an hour. •
•The Deacon's Proposal. „
In the town of Hopkinton, in the
State,of Velment, lived a certain Dee:.
con Small. In his advanced age he
had the misfortune to lose the rib of his
youth. After doingpenance by wear-
ing a we3d on his haa- full year, he
was recommended to a tertain Widow
Hooper, living in an adjoining town.
The deacon was soon astride of his old
brown mare with sorrel mane, and on
arriving at the -widow's door, he dis-
covered her in the act of turning the
suds from the was -tub. Said the dea-
con*: • , -
"Is this Widow Hooper r
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
• "Well." continued the deacon, "I am
that little bit of a dried up Deacon
Small, and have only one question to
propose to you."
"Please propose, sir."
"Well, Madam," said • the cleaeon,
"have yon any objections to going to
heaven by the way of Hopkinton'?"
"None at all, deacon," was the -reply.
Come in, deacon."
Suffice it to say •they were married
the net week.
NEW AND IMPORTANT RISCOVERY.1
--The Lockport Journal says :----We
learn that Rev. J. H. Haven, of tho
the town of Lewiston, formerly. of
Guelph, citimt to have made a new and
important discovery, by which he en-
deavors to pi ove the teaching of science
a fallacy where it is asserted that • one
pound cannot be made to lift niore than
one pound in equal • space and equal
time. It is done by transmitt-;ng
gravity at every half revolution of the
wheel, so that when ten pounds is de-
scending the ten that is ascending will
onlyhave the resistance of five pounds,
and viee versa, when the ten pounds
have ascended to the top of the wheel,
it assumes its natural force of ten
pounds, •and then the ten at the bot-
tom of the wheel is reduced to five
pounds. If a successful application of
the principle can 'be made, it will
work a radical change in the applica-
tion of power to machinery. • It ie
contended by Mr. Haven, that when it
is properly attached to machinery the
power applied will be increased from
one to two hundred per cent—an item
of incalculable value to those employ-
ing mechanical power. He is now pre-
paring his discovery for a thorough test.
