While at, table some one in a jocular way remarked that the whole outfit were" a set of gluttons, others of the party made similar comparisons, when Gritfis spoke up and said the men put him more in mind of apes tnan anything else, it was this re mark that stirred the manhood ot young Pettis, and came within an ace, if reports be true, of making a widow and leaving several children fatherless. He felt greatly agrieved at being compared to an ape, and demanded an explanation of Griflis, who quickly made all appoligies necessary, by telling him he had no reffcrence to him and did not even know he was at the table and etc. Thi; seemed to satisfy Pettis for the time being, and night coming on the t r. r 1 si ... two icir xor nome. uncc at the house Pettis again brought up the matter and was again assured by Griffis that he did not intend the rc maik for him.

He had not been in this position many minutes? until he heart! a slight noise in the room in which Pettis was sleeping, and raising his head looked in nd saw Pettis raise up in bed and at the same moment presented a; pistol which he fired, the ball just grazed Griffis, struck the coat he was sitting on and passed through the bed clothing and; lodged in the floor. Mrs. Griffis who is a very delicate ladv being afflicted with neart disease jumped up and ran out doors screaming at the top of her voice supposing her husband was killed and fell m the yard.
