WHO Saw the Steer.

"The richest thing Of the season." says
the Newburyport Herald, .scame off the
other day in the neiehbcrhood of the mar
ket. The greenest Jonathan imaginable,
decked out 10 a slouched hat, long blue
frock, and a pair of cowhide shoes, as big
as gondolas, with a huge whip under his
arm, staked into billiard saloon, where
half dozen persons were improving the
time in trundling round the worries; and
after recovering from his first surprise at
the Ito him) singular aspect of the room,
inquired if any Of iem had seen stray
steer, affirming that "fthe blasted critter
got away as he come through town with
his drove t'other day, and haden't seen
nothin' of him since" The bloods denied
all knowledge of the animal in question,
and with much sly winking at each other,
proceeded to copdole with him on his loss
in the most heartfelt manner.
He watched the game with much In
terest, as he had evidently never seen or
heard of anything Of the kind before, and
created much amusement by his demon
stration of applause when good shot was
made" Jerusalem" being fayorite ejac
ulation. At last he made bold to request
the privilege of trying his skill, when he
set the crowd in roar by his awkward
movements. However, be gradually got
his hind in, and played as good as might
be expected for greenhorn. All hands
now began to praise him, which so elated
him that he actually began to think him
self a second Phelan, and he offered to bet
q dollar with his opponent, WHICH, Of course
he lost.
The loss and the laugh so irritated him
that he offered to play another game, and
bet two dollars, which he RULED out Of a
bio roll-seems his cattle had sold well,
and he was flush. This bet he also lost,
as the fool might have known he would !;
mad as a March hare, he pulled out fifty
spot, the largest bill he had, and offered to
bet that OH another game. The crowd
mustered round, and raised money enough
to cover it, and at it they went again; by
some strange turn of luck greeny won.--
They now offered to put up the hundred
0dlllt, 81 IllGy NOuiea nov WIZ HpAh Nhpt
they had lost, and fleece Ehe fellow of his
own besides.
They sent for a famous player, who hap
pened to have enough money to bet with,
and another game was played, in which
Jonathan bet and won. Another hundred
was also raised and won; and it was not
until he had Numbered through half doz-
en- games, and by some unaccountable run
Of luck won them all, drained all the
pockets of his opponents Of about four
hundred dollars, that they began to smell
very large "mice." When everybody
got tired Of playing, he pulled his frock
over his head, took his whip under his arm,
and walked quietly out, turned round at
at the door, and remarking;
"Gentlemen, if you should happen to see
anything Of that steer, wish you would
let me know"
At the last accounts they had not seen
the steer, but they had come to the con-
clusion that they saw the elephant.
