A Flat-Boatman's Mode of Obtaining Pro
visions.

We have seen good many stories of
Mike Fink, the great head aud founder OF
The tribe of Mississippi flat-hoatrn.n, but
here Is one from the Louisville Democrat
that we never saw before:
Passing slowly down the river, Mike OBJ
served very large and beautiful flock of
sheep grazing Oh the shore, and being in
want OF fresh provisions, but scor,,iny To-
buy them, Mike hit upon the following en-
pedcnt. lie Noticed that there WAS HI ed
dy liear to>tlie sl,nre, and as It WAS about
dusk, tic lihded his boat in the eddy aud
tied her t;tst. In his cargo there were su,,,e
Ialders OF Scotch snuff. Mike o,,-,,..I one
"i these, and taking out Il handful Of the
: 'olten's, when ashore, and catching five or
>'x OF the sheep, rubbed their faces thorough,
ly with the snuff. N. then returned to his
boat, and sent one Of his mel, in a grea,
hurry 10 tile sheep-owner to tell him that
lie Had beiler come down anil see What
was the matter with the sheep"
Upon coming down hastily in answer 10
Mikes summons, the gentleman saw por-
,'on Of his flock very si"guIarIy Affected
leaping, bc.ting, rubbn. their noses on
the ground and against each other: aud
performing all manner Of undigni6ed and
uiisi'eepIke antics. The gentleman was
sorely puzzldd, and demanded of Mike, "if
he knew what was the matter with the
silerpa" ...
You don't know2 2" answered Mike, very
gravcIy. .-...
lido not" replied the gentleman.
did yon ever hear of the black uurrian ?"
asked Mike in a confidential whisper.
"les," said the sheep owner in terrified
reply. =
We'll, that's it ?" said Mike. GAIL the
sheep up rivers got, it dreadful. Dyiu' like
rotten tlegs-hundreds day." ....
You don't say, SO! =, answered the vic.
tim ; land is there no cure for ita"
"Ouly one, as Knows on" was the re-.
ply.
You see the murrian's dreadful catchen'
and if you don't gil them away as is got il
they'll kill the whole flock. Better shoot
'ern right of: they've got to die any way"
"But no man could single oui'the infect
ell sheep, and shoot hem from among til
ii"k." said the gentleman. My names
Mike Fink !" was the curt reply. And It
""' '"'r"E'eo eho"SH. lHe gentleman urS-
ge'i Mike 10 sh,so, the infected sheep anil
throw hem in the river. This was exactly
what Mike wanted, but he pretended to in
sist. 1T n'oughi he n mistake" he said !;
"tl'ey'll maybe git well. HI. didn't like to
shoot so MANY sheep-nii his own say So.
He'd better go an'a>k some OF the neigh.
hors Of it was the murrain sure nut"
The gentleman ipsstcd. and Mike mo.l.stly
resisted, until fi,ratIy he WAS promised ii
couple OF gallons Of old peach brandy If lac
would comply. His scrupIes overcome.
Mike sho. tile sheep, threw them into the
eddy, and got the brandy. After dark tie
'nen jumped into the. water, hauled the
sheep aboard. and hy daylight had tlu,n
packed away, and were gliding merrlly

FAMILY MARKETING.

POULTRY AT A DIsCoUST-HIGH PRICE OF FISH
VEGETABLES BECOMING DEAR
As usual the advent of the holidays has had the effect
of flooding the city markets with poultry of all kinds and
consequence the prices Immediately after feast day
fall away considerably 1t is many years since poultry
quoted so cheap as it yesterday. Turkeys and
chickens selling from 10 to L. cents per ID and
duck would bring higher than II cents. 1t but
h. and chickens in proportion AT this rate poultry Is
the cheapest food in market and poor people would find
10 their advantage to buy turkeys geese chickens and
ducks in preference TO fish, which actually
much dearer yenson is selling at shilling pound !;
but all other kinds OF game dear The prospect how
ever that wild duck will be very cheap this year The
first nstalmen Of duck from the Maryland and Virginia
waters came in the last steamer, and very fine In
tegcnt marketmen say that even canvass backs will be
selling for 81 81 25 per pair before long, pro
vided the winter does not set in too early.
Meat varies very little in price II still continues very
high, and poor people, who can buy fnc poultry and
game much cheaper would do wed avoid the butcher
Tor time.
Fish also high and very little is doing in that depart
ment of the market. Halbut, herring, mackerel and
porges have disappeared and their places have been sup
piled by suckers, pike, pckerel and fresh water bass
will be that have advanced considerably.
The recent cold snap in closing up the canals and put
ting stop winter gaon has had the effect of
ing the price Of certain products materially Potatoes
have advanced soc. Dbl and IT possible they
be worth 81 Dbl before winter IL out The rise at this
time serious inconvenience IN the poor who about
lay in their winter stock All other vegetables have
nd v anced In price
Apples have slze advanced, and will be much dearer
this winter than at first supposed The diAcuy has
been that the crops have been back long and the
unlocked for termination OF navigation las prices
and we fear will keep them up.

The New Haven Herald calls attention to some
irregularities relative TO the circulating notes of the
Bank of Hartford county 1t was originally organ
lied under the free banking law, one of the pro-
visions of which required all notes issued to be regis
tered and countersgncd by officers of the State and
the bank was obliged to deposit certain stock
curity for their redemption. Subsequently it re-
ceyed charter and gave bonds to the State for the
redemption of its registered circulation atoat. It
originally received $50, of which $4O2 $50 had
been returned and destroyed, but among the notes
returned were s765 in ves and 81 $50 in tens more
than the bank is charged with in notes of these de-
nominations 1t further appears that while sll 900
only of this registered circulation ought to be aioa,
since the bank has passed into the hands of receiv
ers no less than sixteen thousand dollars of register
ed bills have been presented for payment, being five
thousand than the State accounts and the bank
books show to have been issued.
The Supreme Court of Connecticut has postponed
until December 20 the consideration of the ques
ton of granting perpetual injunction against the
Bank of Hartford County.
