players as deserving Of fame as some o
those wh'se whose names, in connectio.
with the recent match games 1t Detroit
have become as household words" Fol
the truth Of this we will state on the mos
reliable authority, that Mr.. - Brown. o
the Metropolitan Billiard Rooms, made OF
Tuesday last, in carom game, Zone white
ball being "in handy run OF four hundre,
mi tao@nty points. In other words, h,
made one hundred and forty CONSECUTIVE.

the chances of widow marrying in yea,
is IL times as great as that of bachelor
I In 1f <hn onoh ne 4
bachelor marrying in year diminishes at I
most rapid rate. The probability at IS il
not much more than half that at 81, an(
nearly the same proportion exists between
each quinque9pial period afterwards.

UNEXPECTED DEAiH.-We were panied Il

been pilot upon the western waters to'
twenty five years, recently sail that thi'
country owed debt Of gratitude to Pau
Morphy, for that within the last year, card
playing among steamboat travellers in tn
West, had diminished fully one-half, and
chess had taken its place, thus supplying a.
intellectual and improving pa>tine in place
of one that results in evil, and evil only.
