  to　say；　escaped　condign　punishment　by　leaving　the　country　with　his
  relations。　　If；　as　is　seriously　whispered；　he　was　also　guilty　of　an
  unparalleled　offence　against　a　chivalrous　code　which　will　exclude
  him　in　the　future　from　ever　seeking　redress　at　the　Court　of　Honor；
  our　citizens　will　be　only　too　glad　to　get　rid　of　the　contamination
  of　being　obliged　to　arrest　him。　　Those　of　our　readers　who　know　the
  high　character　of　the　two　gentlemen　who　were　thus　forced　into　a
  hostile　meeting；　will　not　be　surprised　to　know　that　the　most　ample
  apologies　were　tendered　on　both　sides；　and　that　the　entente
  cordiale　has　been　thoroughly　restored。　　The　bulletwhich　it　is
  said　played　a　highly　important　part　in　the　subsequent　explanation；
  proving　to　have　come　from　a　REVOLVER　fired　by　some　outsiderhas
  been　extracted　from　Mr。　McKinstry's　thigh；　and　he　is　doing　well；

  Smiling；　albeit　not　uncomplacently；　at　this　valuable　contribution
  to　history　from　an　unfettered　press；　his　eye　fell　upon　the　next
  paragraph；　perhaps　not　so　complacently：
  〃Benjamin　Daubigny；　Esq。；　who　left　town　for　Sacramento　on　important
  business；　not　entirely　unconnected　with　his　new　interests　in　Indian
  Springs；　will；　it　is　rumored；　be　shortly　joined　by　his　wife；　who
  has　been　enabled　by　his　recent　good　fortune　to　leave　her　old　home
  in　the　States；　and　take　her　proper　proud　position　at　his　side。
  Although　personally　unknown　to　Indian　Springs；　Mrs。　Daubigny　is
  spoken　of　as　a　beautiful　and　singularly　accomplished　woman；　and　it
  is　to　be　regretted　that　her　husband's　interests　will　compel　them　to
  abandon　Indian　Springs　for　Sacramento　as　a　future　residence。　　Mr。
  Daubigny　was　accompanied　by　his　private　secretary　Rupert；　the
  eldest　son　of　H。　G。　Filgee；　Esq。；　who　has　been　a　promising　graduate
  of　the　Indian　Spring　Academy；　and　offers　a　bright　example　to　the
  youth　of　this　district。　　We　are　happy　to　learn　that　his　younger
  brother　is　recovering　rapidly　from　a　slight　accident　received　last
  week　through　the　incautious　handling　of　firearms。〃
  The　master；　with　his　eyes　upon　the　paper；　remained　so　long　plunged
  in　a　reverie　that　the　school…room　was　quite　filled　and　his　little
  flock　was　wonderingly　regarding　him　before　he　recalled　himself。　　He
  was　hurriedly　reaching　his　hand　towards　the　bell　when　he　was
  attracted　by　the　rising　figure　of　Octavia　Dean。
  〃Please；　sir；　you　didn't　ask　if　we　had　any　news！〃
  〃TrueI　forgot；〃　said　the　master　smiling。　　〃Well；　have　you
  anything　to　tell　us？〃
  〃Yes；　sir。　　Cressy　McKinstry　has　left　school。〃
  〃Indeed！〃
  〃Yes；　sir；　she's　married。〃
  〃Married；〃　repeated　the　master　with　an　effort；　yet　conscious　of　the
  eyes　concentrated　upon　his　colorless　face。　　〃Marriedand　to　whom？〃
  〃To　Joe　Masters；　sir；　at　the　Baptist　Chapel　at　Big　Bluff；　Sunday；
  an'　Marm　McKinstry　was　thar　with　her。〃
  There　was　a　momentary　and　breathless　pause。　　Then　the　voices　of　his
  little　pupilsthose　sage　and　sweet　truants　from　tradition；　those
  gentle　but　relentless　historians　of　the　futurerose　around　him　in
