d. But the place of meeting had been changed, and the arrangements so secretly made, that though Mr. Clay and many others were on the alert to prevent it, the duel was not interrupted. We believe we have here stated every material fact in relation to this melancholy business. It is suggested, however, that Mr. Cilley was less disposed to concede anything from the first in consideration of his own course when a difficulty recently arose between two of his colleagues, Messrs. Jarvis and Smith, which elicited a challenge from the former, promptly and nobly declined by the latter. This refusal, it is said, was loudly and vehemently stigmatized as cowardly by Mr. Cilley.

Here, for example, near the middle of the apartment, are a row of hooks, labelled respectively, Leaded Brevier; Solid Brevier; Minion; Proofs to revise; Compositors' Proofs—let no profane hand touch them except Smith's; Bogus minion—when there is no other copy to be given out, then take from this hook.
