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.

It was my lot at ,that time, to be coin

heavily engaged in cotton speculations.,

-Vant had taken, possession; inasmuch as
it'was not only the most , comfortable,
but also the swiftest, and . time was of
the utmost importance to, me. ;It 'vas
known.that I-carried larke sums of
money, and I. was always.apprebensive
lest Sturdivant should ask me to play.
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

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. ; . •

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. Closely allied
