that they can appreciate the efforts made
by oar river men to accommodate them.

those above mentioned. That they are
well differed by careful and competent

HEADs, 1 WINl-A little game of
poker was INDUCED in by some parties
on the last up trip Of the steamer Rock
ford, bound from the Arkansas river to
st. Louis. One of the players, q large
buTly fsilOw~named Baker, was in sn i'll
humor at his losses and took Offense at a
young nan named Clarence Collier,
passenger, who was seated neal BY, but
not engaged in the game. Baker ordered
Collier TO leave the cabin, which the
latter was compelled to do, but only for
little time. While the boat was living
at a wOOdpile some six miles below this
city, Collier came put Of his room armed
with g double barreled shotgun. He
made Mr.. Baker get up from his game
and walk ashore, following with his gun
at a " ready in true old military style.
The ground for miles around was under
but the inexhorabie Collier made
his enemy mount the wOOdpile, and the
boat backed out, leaving the gentleman
holding the wood rsetSR /" hard down.
We learn nom Col. J:@P. johnson, Of
LacOnia, that the levee around the
" Circle u is in splendid order and that
the plantations embodied by the magic
ring, are entirely free from the overflow.
AS the river is now on the wane, we
think no more danger may be appre-
hended.
