Fagin was evidently the superior,
being about twenty pounds heavier,
and at least twelve years younger than
Love, whose age is stated at about
forty years: Thirty y-tive rounds were
fought in less than three quarters of
an hour. The interval between each
round was half minute: Fagin was
twice fairly and squarely knocked
down, and was a third time prestra-
ted, partly through his slipping, and
partly by his adversary's fist. Love
was hit with difficulty, and planted
frequent but powerful blows upon the
head, face, shoulders and breast
Yet he himself received terrible inju-
ries, Fagin making his strikes "tell''
with fearful effect. The twenty-eighth
round was most hotly and evenly con.
tested, but Love afterwards showed
himself weakened, and unable longer
to parry with his wonted skill, while
his antagonist, though bloodier and ap.
.parently the more bruised, still fought
tcnaciously and fercely. The thirty.
first round terminated by Fagin falling
heavily on Love, who rose with his
right leg apparently dislocated at the
knee. His lameness increased with
each round, till at the thirty-fourth
round he actually had to drag it after

Terrible Fatality-Three Men Swept
Over Niagara Falls IN a Row boat

Yesterday morning the people of
Niagara Falls were startled by the re-.
port that three men were swept over
the Falls in row boat The occur
renee is said to have taken place about
6 o'clock A. NJ, and was first discover.
ed by porter at the Cataract House,
who saw the boat containing the men
in the middle of the river, and saw the
final plunge from the brink of the
awful chasm, whose depths have al
ready engulphed many human beings
in destruction terrible to the imagi-
nation, and appalling to realize. We
learn from gentleman who visited
the Canada side of the river yesterday
that the fatal catastrophe was also wit
messed from near Clifton House. The
men were seen putting out from the
Cansdaseide near Ch,ppews, with the
evident intention Of landing rear the
south end of Goat Island. ..
After getting out q. short distance
the current was found too strong for
them, the recent high wind up the lake
was still forcing more than a usual
quantity Of water through the river,
and although they made every exertion
TO stem the rushins tide, vet their IF:
forts were entirely unasailing. The,
were seen, after battling for time
desperately against the current, to
draw their oars from The water, aud
af notionless in the boat, resigned to
their fate. In this condition they were
swept over the falls. The names ot
the unfortunate men were not obtain.

it must be recollected that they alone will
have to furnish the whole supply of manu-
factured and cut Tobacco, which used to
come in such large quantities from Virginia
and other States named. Any one taking
the trouble to enquire in Baltimore will be
astonished to find the increase in this busi-
ness there alone.
Again. there is no old stock on hand. in
first hands there is absolutely none, and the
warehouses are nearly cleaned out, SO much
of their purchases have shippers aud specu
lators (who have made one hundred per cent
on their purchases of six months ago) sent
their stocks off.
Then, too, as every Tyro in the cultiva-
ton of Tobacco knows the crops of some
years are very much more "approved'' on
the other side than Of others and have
the authority of large shippers and agents
for saying that already about 500 hhds. of
new have been sent over as samples, aud
all heard from have been more liked than
any crop for many years.
Did time and space admit, might 60 on
to enumerate other reasons why Tobacco
must be much higher than present quo
tations, but these are certainly sufficient
to attract the attention of planters. While
there are so many causes for a rise in prices.
there is nothing but war with England
and France (unlcss it be that the long con-
tinued spell of wet weather shall have the
same effect upon the market that it is said
to have had upon the Federal army to pre-
vent an 'advance." This may do so from
the planters being enabled unusually early
in the season to precipitate their crops upon
the market. This, and the undue anxiety
to realize, is all VIC have to fear. But for
tunatcly here again circumstances favor the
ability of the planters to hold, the recent
crisis in monetary affairs having forced them.
to use avulgarism. to "draw in their horns"
and they having very little paper out for
which their agents arc immediately RESPONSE
bic; SO that this important incentive to them
to realize immediately at sacrifice to the
grower is removed.
For these, and other reasons, We cannot
but believe that if the planters, as they send
their crops in. will restrict the sales of aver
age ones to $40. and better proportionately
higher, they will have no difficulty in OBJ

POPULAR RETREScHMENr.-C Children are
often sagcly told, that "thcy don't know
what is good for them" The saying is as
true when applied to large folks. and their
conduct proves the fairness of the applica-
ton. When hard times, or fear of hard
times, come over a land, on what do they
begin retrenchment and economy. On the
back NO, madam: you clothe yourself
with the finest and rarest still. With the
stomach NO, sir: you pamper it with
every delicate meat as usual. On luxuries!
No, MIR. Sybarite: you drink the choicest
and smoke the most exquisite. in wonted
profuseness. No, no, deluded big children
you begin with the printer: you cut of
books as if they were pest, and you either
stop your paper or refuse to pay for it. You
seem to imagine that you are merely animal
without soul or intellect. Your action in
dicatcs this, anyhow.
Verify, the public has bcen spoiled -
Books and papers have been furnished at SC
low rate. and with so little recompcnse te
author and printer. that they arc l;:,la i. ~
esteemed, when they should be held above
all price; and the consequence is, that the
printer, who makes but scanty living a
the best of times, is left to crumbs or star
vation when real OR fancied necessity fol
retrenchment exists. Out upon such re-
trenchment! Wear less costly gear-ea
palmer food-drink less and smoke less, OF
none at all, rather than cheat your soul anc
mind of their due portion. Buy good books
and take and pay for an honest and decen
newspaper; and as upright, God-createo
beings, you will be the better and richer
for it,

What would become of the poor dogs who
have to spout and write all the time just to
relieve themselves, if the rostrum and the
press were interdicted to their use, it puzzles
our closest and most patient thought to un-
derstand. No doubt that large part of
our takers and teachers are such, and con-
tinue SUCH merely because they could not
exist in any other way. When men get
just "a little learning" as St. Paul said,
they are much more like to 50 mad than
aster taking on board larger stock. After
their half-thoughts have at length evapora-
ted in words, they are more apt to settle
down upon course Of actual experience,
which causes them spells of silence and pro-
tracted thinking fits; and we all know that
thinkers are not lalkers, proverbially, and
will never be likely to so exchange their
agocation. The press affords a very conve-
nient means of relief to these overcharged
individuals, and they have improved it, as
a general thing, without stint or measure

vague and airy nature, they have hitherto
served an excellent turn for these gentry

great loss of life but for just these ready re-

The Season.
How different are the scenes of winter
from those Of summer, aud how different are
the thoughts they suggest. The happy
companionship of birds and flowers is gone;
the bright summer landscape has lost its
verdure, and lies buried from the sight,
But we have no need to plain-there is
still left US world Of beauty for thought.
The spotless snow, as it falls noiselessly
down. or is whirled in wild eddies by the
ruthless wind, is worthy passing thought.
How like ourselves in its dcstiny--pure as
the mind at it's advent, to be tossed about
by storms, to go back to earth and reappear
u different form, even as we are promised.
Il I'll the i land d of knowledge, Of books and news
papers; SO when shut from the great volume
of animate nature, we still have the thoughts
and fancies of master minds at our disposal.
Winter buries much that in summer claims
our attention can there be a more appro-
pirate time for reading or study?
There is pleasure about the home circle
at this season of the year that it possesses at
no other. The associations of long winter
evenings tend to make us sociable, and un
der their genial influence, whatever we may
be at other times, we can but be friendly.
and wish happiness to those about us. We
cannot cherish animosities if we would; We

for whom he tolls. were it not for the bless
ed breathing respite of Sunday9 What
honest working mans child ever forgot this
day: When clean and neat, it is his priyj-
lege to climb papa's knee, and hang about
his neck, and tell him all the news which
goes to make up his narrow little world

for it widens out into the boundless ocean of

HABITS Like flakes of snow that fall
unperceived upon the earth, the seemingly
unimportent events of life succeed one an
other. AS the snow gathers together, so
are our habits formed no single fake that
is added to the pile produces a sensible
change; no single action cneates, however
it may exhibit, mans character; but as
the tempest hurls the avalanche down the
mountain, and overwhelms the inhabitant
and his habitation, SO passion, acting upon
the elements of mischief, which pernicious
habits brought together by imperceptible
accumulation, may overthrow the edifcc of
truth and virtue.
