From the Utica Sentinel.
ANECDOTE.

During the rivalry between Utica and Roch-
ester, gentleman merchant from the latter
place, was travelling through Oneida county.
Being OF numerous turn, on passing by a
Dutch dwelling where stone oven was heat
ing, which was situated out of doors, at one
side of the house, he felt disposed to hoax its
inhabitants. He called out ''hao, the house !!
halo, the house !" Out came the Dutchnan,
the Dutchman's wife, the DutChman's three
sons, and the Dutchnan's eleven daughters.
He observed to them, your ovens on fire."
They all flew swiftly around the corner of the
house, and the merchant rode on enjoying the
joke. a short time since the same gentleman
Was travelling To the east in a gig the roads
were uncommOnly muddy. He was about
passing the same farm house, but he had for
gotten the place when young lad came run
ming towards him, with great anxiety depict
ed on his countenance. /" Sir said he, your
wheel is loose" The man Immediately stop
ped, got out into the mud, and looked at the
wheel, when the boy exclaimed, - the other
wheel, SIR Around he waded through mud
and mire, examined the inch pin there and
says to the boy, do not see any thing out
of the way" 'Why, thought twas loose
said the ladI saw it turn round," TAT the same
I time describing circle with his inger.) ''You
provoking little rascal, what do you mean 2"
exclaimed the gentleman. Aye" says the
lad, s. the ovens on fire the ovens on fire :"
The merchant was 50 highly pleased with the
lads wit, that he threw him a dollar, and con-
tinued his journey.

shilngs on the issue. But this was but the
beginning of trouble, for when the fence of
morality was once broken down the whole
flock of extravaganza leaped in. He was cal
led a narrow hearted soul, and to relieve him
self from the charge, he had to face bet after
bet until fifty dollars of his money was down
Then when the horse race began, poor Dick
ey was picture for Hogarth. Which sweat
the most during the race, the quadruped. or
Dick was difficult problem to solve--he was
on the hafbent, all the whiIe.l like an aimed ri
file, and his face was in the form of Hope and
Despair intermixed by skilfu painter.
The issue of the race was that Dick won,
and doubled his fifty with the exception of
two for treating, in which instance in order
to save something, he drank his full proper
ton of the liquor and went home with good
deal of money and very little reason: in fact,
he scarcely knew his own house, and his own
household scarcely knew him. His bride
laughed at his situation, fOrgave him his first
error, watched over his Cascading SAUNDERS,
laughingly boxed his ears in the morning.,
when he, ashamed of the past, resuming his
labors and determined to leave off the drunk
ard. Things went on we'll for while, and
the fifty dollars was placed at interest-but
another horse race came round, and Dick
thought that as fifty dollars was SO easily won
that it was an act of prudence to obtain the
like sum to be placed at interest with it. His
atfectiOnate wife demonstrated, they already
had enough with common industry. to sup
ply their wants,and it was wrong to take mo-
ey from others when he did not need it, and
that the principle was dishonest But Dick
saw nothing but the fifty dollars, and his wife
gave ND as it was useless to contend. Dick
raised a hundred and started for the horse
race. He was no niggard in bets, this time
-seventy-fve betted short time, and Dick
sat down to see the event and pocket the
money, never doubling any thing of success
but the currency of notes which he was to re-
ceye in payment
But alas, he lost-the seventy-fye dollars
disappeared in less time than you could have
said Jack Robinson. His seeming friends con-
soled him by saying that high, toac, Jack s.
the game business was to go on in the evening
and he might there win back his losses and go
home with moner in both pockets. Dicky swal-
lowed the bait, and drank run, and svater-
went home pretty decsntly corned, with money
IN neither pocket. having given his note for
seventy-fiye dollars more than he had the
wherewith to pay cash on the nail:
Dickey's hoe is pawned for rum, and the
mortgage on his farm has run out, and his
wife and children have not place to rest
their heads. What glorious thing must a
horse race be 1t improves the breed
of horses, and encourages the sale of do
England Rum.
