An ‘‘Affair of honor’ has been arranged to.come off, but how, when, or where, has not leaked out. The principals are said to be an officer of a French frigate anda French gentleman who has been living in this city for several months past. The cause of the quarrel is not known, but, as usual, the name of a woman is mixed up with it, and the insult is a grave one, the man-of-wars-man having slapped his rival’s face in the presence of a large company. The gentleman has induced a resident of St. Louis street to act as his friend, and a brother officer will perform a like service for his chum.

Sad Drowning Accident at Mira Bay,

ON Saturday last four young men,"sons of Patrick Bates, ‘of Catalone Lake, were return- ing home from Scatari Island, where they had -been fishing all summer. They had three ‘barrels of flour and some — in their boat. When within a few jhundred yards of their own landing through some mishap the boat upset and sank immediately, . leavi its four occupants inthe water. John Bates was the youngest of the four, and was about eighteen years of age. He was a good swimmer, fand the only one of them that could swim. After encouraging his three brothers and swimming around providing them with oars and pieces ef boards to keep them afloat, he swam away some distance and got on a barrel of flour. Finding that he could ‘not hold on owing to the surging of the sea, he lett it to swim back to his brothers, but when a short distance on the way be- came exhausted and sank to rise no more. Their two older brothers, Mark and James, were about two mikes distant in another boat.. When they saw the mishap they put off to their assistance with all haste, and arrived just in time to save the three others*from a watery grave. John’s body was found next morning at about ten o’clock and was taken home to his heart- striken parents, who have the sympathy of the whole neighborhood for the loss of a dati ful son. The deceased was a young man of temperate habits and agreeable manners, and had won the esteein of all his friends and ac- quaintanees.-—Com to C. B, Advocate.
