            <text>A Duel was fought on Thursday last, between capt. Johnson and lieut. Sharpe, of the 10th U. S. regiment of infantry, quartered at Bristol, in this state. The combatants fired two shots each, by the first of which captain J. was slightly wounded. The second ball proved mortal to lieut. S. as the ball entered his right breast near the shoulder and came out of his left side. Captain J. by the second fire, was wounded in the leg. The cause we understand arose from a trifling dispute about politics, when a challenge immediately ensued, and the parties met about three hours afterwards, in the vicinity of the camp. </text>
