whilst our travellers dwelt with rapture on the sur
rounding scenery, which shifted every moment like
the capricous changes ofthe keledescope-and list
ming to tales of border warfare, as they were brought
to mind. by passing the places where they happened.
The celebrated Hunters Leap" and the bloody
battle of Kanhawa, were not forgotten.
The afternoon of the next day brought us to the
beautiful CITY of Cincinnati which, in the course oil
thirty wears, has risen from village of soldiers huts
to town--pivng promise Of future splendor, equal
to any OH the sea-board.

nv visit to Cincinnati, business called me to New
Orleans. On board of the steamboat, on which
had embarked, at Louisville recognized in the per-
son of the pilot one of those men, who had formerly
been PATRON. or keel boat captain. entered into
conversation with him, on the subject Of his former
| associates.
.'ihey are scattered in all directions, said he. "a
few, who had capacity, have become pilots of steam
boats. Many have joined the trading parties that
cross the Rocky Mountains +; and few have settled
down as farmers.'
What had become," asked, of my old &C.
quaintauce, Mike Fink 20
" Mike was killed in skrimmage," replied the
pilot. lie had refused several good offers on steam
boats. He said he could not bear the kissing of steam
aud he wanted room to throw his pole. lie went te
the Missouri, and about year since shooting thu
tin cup, when he had corned too heavily. He eeva
ted too low, and shot his companion through tbt
head A friend Of the deceased, who was present
suspecting foul play, shot Mike through the heart
before he had time to reload his rife.'
With Mike Fink expired the spirit Of the boatmen
