We learn from the Mount Lebanon (La) Baptist that a fatal affray occurred in that place on the 10th inst., between a couple of students of the Mt. Lebanon University, which led to the death of Mr. Winder C. Jackson. It appears that Mr. Stephen Cawthorn, in a play—without intending any harm—called Jackson by a name which he regarded as highly insulting, whereupon Jackson knocked him down, but students managed to separate them. They afterwards came together again, and Jackson was stabbed which resulted in his death.
