Judge D. N. Terry.

The Louisville-Times says: David S. Terry, who yesterday renewed his claims to notoriety, if not to fame, by marrying the alleged "dear wife" of the late Senator Sharon before the funeral baked meats had time to cool, was born in Todd County, Ky., 62 years ago. He went to California with the Argonauts of "49, and gradually rose in his profession until he become Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court. In 1839 he fought a duel with Senator Broderick, killing him. One of our citizens who was an active participant in the scenes enacted during the "vigilance days" of California contributes a little item in regard to Judge Terry that may not be uninteresting. He says that upon one occasion, somewhere about 1853, the Judge stabbed a man named Hopkins, who was a police officer of the Vigilance Committee and was attempting to arrest one of Terry's friends. Hopkins was stabbed in the shoulder with a broad bladed bowie knife and came neary dying. Terry was arrested and tried by the vigilants. The only thing that saved his life was the recovery of Hopkins.
