THE FATAL CARTY. Some years ago the Mississippiii, River was famousfor itsp''floating palaces," as the large steamers flying between Nevi Orleans arid the ports above were Now t the railroads .have driven _nearly all the tine boats off the river, ,and left the field to the freight boats, Whose ac conf6tiations for passengers are,; by no means palatial.i : The former glass of steamers were, An mapy respects, delight ful,(but they never ceased to be objects Of dread to' timid people, for if , the ra cing; Which' wa's on that stearner_re.- dneeitto a system, did not result in , the, less of the boat, there was sure to beetle or more encounters between' the' more ltWrleSs portion • of the Aravollera, in pistol 'bullets, -would fly rather too thick for the cernfort of steady-go ing people. The cause of such distal-- bapee Was generallya . squarrel over the gaming table. The regulation of the boats ; usually required that all such amusements should be conducted in' ,ft sateen' PreVided for that Piirpose in thb "Tektr," l "officer's eabin,H situated on the 'hurricane deelt rc . but the sporting gentlemen, were by no means careful to observe this,rule, and the gaming was most commonly carried on at the din- Aug table, in the main. saloon of the steamer, to the great annoyance of two thirds of those on board. Many professional gamblers used to make-these boats their home, traveling back and forth with them, fleecing. all who were foidish and verdant enough to fallinto theirelutches. So well, in deed, was the system managed that the various members seemed to have their different steamers marked out for them bY .Ceriimon"conSent, - so that 'no one Would trespass upon the domains of the other:: Of Course. these Men,were warm friends of the officers of the boat, 'who were either too'sincere in 'their 'friend shil:o'iit a stop to the practice, or too much' afraid of the gamblers to care to provoke a quarrel with them, for in those days it NVIIB a corrititoO affair' for- Stich men'te resent 'any fancied insult with . a pistol shot.' -One • -One of the Most remarkable men of this class, was'uatned Daniel Sturdiv ant, a Frenchman; the son of a broken down scion of nobility,•who had settled in New. Orleans. before the transfer of Loui to the United States. Sturdivant had been raised ,a "gentleman" by his age, - and Yindlii - l - Tistatulies`Wil:rhaflt; had taken to cards as a means to -better them: . 'His,success in this field was so gretitthat he was .induced to continue it,Ontil at the time of which I write he was one ofthe most notorious gamblers between se., Louis and New Orleans. He' 'a man of fine personal pirear- Mice,' and or great physical s rength. He was also noted for his perso al cour age. 'As a gambler he Wasltios expert and I suceesqui. , — There "were, dark stories of deeds' which he had commit ted while'under the' influence of play and liquor, and it_was said by - some that he had killed half adozen men in his life-time. Yet no one dared to speak these stories openly; for no one cared to bring upon himself the anger of such a Man. There were few who knew. him that really cared to play against him, but they feared that a - refuSal to do so nilghtinvolve them in - a, quarrel, with i Mindy, and rare declined his invitation. • Abut fiftee i years ago, the, time, of which:LWkit ' he had attached himself to of thhma gnificent steamers' ply •inglhetWeen ew, Orle'ans and Vicics -hltre,' and ha publiely...anu.ounCO., his 'detertninatio .to shooti.any man .Who teocroached niion;hissceiteorOp,erationg.

I had fully made up my mind to re .fasehim, and if he attemOed to, draw 'the into a quarrel; to shoot hint without mercy, as I knew, that, the only, chance 'for `my life lay in getting the advantage if him..

Those of us who had listened to this singular dialogue, now gathered around the table, expecting to see a scene of more than usual Interest. The stranger hall not yet raised his hat brim, and none of us had seen his facer but we all felt from his general air and manner that Daniel Sturdivant had at last met hiS match. It did' not take long to show us that the stranger - wzn an unusually good player. • For an hots or more the playing went on in silence, The stakes were high--.-and_.the cotest Marked with ' rare skill.

By the expiration of the time indicated, above, he had lost Over, two.. thousand dollars, I noticed' 'the flesh upon his face deepen and astrange light come into his eyes. •At last, with an .oxclamation .of triumph, he drew towards him the heap of notes. ,1' "That was well &Me " said' the stran get. "YOWare-an exart in. cheating. But go on; - I can beat,you whetheryon play openly.or dishonestly." ' ' Sturdivantsald nothing but dealt th!e cards again. The hand wasplayed, and .

'Sturdivant's face worked con vulsively as he gaze at it, and thespee tators gathered mor closely around the two,' wondering at the strange scene. ' "In Clod's nam , who are you )" asked -Sturdivant, 'with his eyes still fixed on the card. "Look at me," quietly. As if powerless tO resist, Sturdivant raised his eyes tethe speaker. The stranger had raised his hat and Sat,lookirig at the trembling man .with eyes Which fairly (*tied with fury. Sturdivant uttered l• a groan and sank back in his'ehair with his face white and rigid. The stranger with one sweep gathered up the money from the table and thrust it into his bi t som. "The ace of hearts is n unlucky card for, you, Daniel Sturdivant," he said coolly. ''You played it oince when you thought it to yotir advantagk. row, As h eSi;ae he raiseda firsTOrWrii`c!i:' We" had not seen, and before we could stop him, aimed it deliberately at, the trembling man and fired. ,r.khegamblei fell, heavily upon the table a ' corpse ; and the bright blood streamed over it, hiding the fatal card from sight. "Gentlemen," said the stranger, rising to his feet as we stood paralyzed with horror at the dreadful scene ; "that Mari ruined MY - wifetml tried to murder the.

[Tor m Agitator.] - Pioneer , ifistoribt The first settler ive have any record of, was a , man by the name of Haskins.— Very little is known of him, beyond the mere fact s that he came into the wilder ness, took him up - a - farm, built a log house, andjived hero fora few years; He then becoming tired "of pioneer life," sold his farm and returned to bis former 'home; Be settled on the State' road, on what is now Mr. L. L. Smith's farm, or at least near the supposed 10-, cality. In 1806, there were six families in the township. Allen Lane, who lived in the extremeeastern , part of - the town ship, was one of those hardy sons - of the wood, who shrink not , frpro danger, or fear difficulties. He toiled early' and late, chopping. ,and clearing land, and when he died, about thArty-five years ago, his farm was under a good state of cultivation. . • Briggs, who bought out Mr. Haskins, 'failed to realize his vision of ease and, plenty, and being possessed of a ven turesome and daring spirit, sold and moved to the West. Samuel Reynolds, who lived noi far , front Mr. Briggs, lived hero for the greater part of his life. The farm is , . now in possession of one of his sons. . Cudworth, who settled somewhat more in the interior than any of the. others, lived only a f i v years, and then ' - passed away, leavin , a wife and dill- dren. . . e Mr: Mudge, who s ttied near the oth ers on the State road,i had a large family of children, several drn whowere boys. They were early, to ght to wield the axe. He died in 1825. . There was another whose.narne is not known who , settoled about two ,miles west of Mr. Lane. Ire only, stayed for a short tine and moved away. Capt. Fellows, Mr.- Rase and Griffin, ..., who settled on " the Mountain," came in soon after. • Although it is said thgt they settled at " Mackintosh Settle ment," it was; in reality - , some three miles from there, upon the , summit of Ithe Mountain-. ~ - ' Neighbors were then thought to be near, who were only two or 'three miles • - off. Their _grinding had to be done by hand, that is by a mortar and pestle, or else they had to eb to Tioga Point, a . distance of thirty miles. The' roads consisted simply of n; Sled or footpath.' The trees were marked to guide them in the.right dirxction. This distance Was accompli-ilied — , generally, by a:•lnan 'or boy, on horseback, although sometimes . a man would take theoxen and sled and carry a grist for himself and - neighbors. , Quite often too, a man would carry a, griA to mill on his back. ; . • BUITOMAR.TE. . --- naught' ROtin l d. • , - 1 c r ieT cheerful philosophers of this age find something to admire in every type of manhood. It would take very fre quent contact with the genus loafer to ' make them doubt the absolute truth of their optimism. The drone has 'en countered general contempt fromthe beginning and had the roughest of sticks poked at him by sacred and profane ‘vriters in all ages, but he maintains his ground and perpetuates himself in each succeeding generation.

Haying finished their daily: tasks and eaten their regular ' meals,,thcy devote the balance of the day, that is not' given to sleep,, to, the most unaccountable, an d persistent "hangin' round." They keep it up, day by day, year in year out—and you may always see the same, set in the same places, whenever there is a board to sit upon or a railing ,to lop against, with - their hands'in their pockets. up to the wrist and so tight they seem to• be tied there, usually staring at vacancy, rous ing themselves once in a while to %ugh a r t a pretty poor joke, or to loOls.--.-• at a pretty face or foot, and utterly uncon scious how much they are in the way of thiibusy people that pass them, or how utterly despicable, they ' are ,making themselves.
