FISK VANQUIsHED.-AN New Milford mer-
chant has met the great Jim Fisk in wordy
encounter and vanquished him. 1t seems
that the mercantile man teing in New York
one Sunday, took pleasure trip on the Ply
mouth Rock to Poughkeepsie, Admiral Fisk
commanding. The excursionists wandered
about for while, returning to the boat earli-
er than usual, when they were denied admit
tance until the hour of sailing. The party
was unsheltered from the hot rays of the sun,
and the New Milford man appealed to Fisk to
let them come aboard and sit in the shade.
He somewhat haughtily refused, which raised
the merchants ire. ''See here, my dear sir"
said he, you have all the advantage, being in
the shade and we in the sun, aud don't want
to stand here and argue with you. we have
paid our passage and we want to come on
board, and we will come. It's all very well
for you to put on these airs, but il YOU do own
this boat, and the Erie railroad, aud half New
York city, and the Erie railroad, and the Su-
preme Court to boot, L can remember. Jim
Fisk, when you were nothing but peddler
over in Connecticut, and my wife shut the
door in your face. Now clear the track for
we're coming. All aboard!" And on board
he went, followed by the whole crowd, which
bore down the guards and took possession.
