A Scene on the Ohio.

Our boat had stopped to take in
wood. On that shore, among the
crowd, was a remarkably stupid,
looking fellow, with his hands in
his pockets, aud his upper lip hang
ing down.
A dandy, ripe for a scrape, mods
and winks at all around, saying:
"Now I'll have some fun. | will
frighten the greenhorn,"
He jumped ashore with a large,
drawn bowie knife, brandishiBg it
in the face of the green 'un, ex-
claiming:
Now III punch yo1; I've been
looking for you for a week"
The fellow stared stupidly at his
assailant; he evidently did moi
know enough to be scared; but as
the bowie knife came near his face
one of his huge fists vacated his
pocket, and fell hard and heavy be
tween the eyes of the dandy, and
the poor fellow went foundering in
the Ohio.
Greeny then jumped on board
our boat, put his hands in his pock-
cts, looking around, said:
May be there's somebody else
that's been looking for me for a
week"
