FINK IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Mike. Fink, a notorious buckeye hunter.
was contemporary with the celebrated Davy
Crockett, and his equal in all things apper
taining to human prowess. It was even said
that the animals in hisineghborhood knew
the creek at his rifle, and would take to their
secret hiding places on the first intimation
that Mike was about. Yet strange, though
true, he was but little known *mid his 'int-
Mediate "settlement." ' . : —1
When we knew him ho was an old man=
thi.blasts of seventy winters had silvered his
head and takenthe elasticity from his limbs,
yet in the whole of hit life never
worsted, except upon one occasion.
