We first saw Morrissey at the end of the
drag rope. of Niagara No. 7 Fire Engine Of
Troy, as the Trojan fire company. of which
he was a member, marched up from the
boat to the Square, in Burlington. to at
tend iremen's muster. That was on tn,
Fourth Of July, 1858. Morrissey was then
noted bruiser. and bore in his broken nose
q memento which he carried to his grave, oil
his prize fight with Yankee Sullivan, which
took place in 1853. Three months later, in
October. 1858. he fought Heensn, the
American champion, for 81 800 side, and
knocked him out of time On the eleventh
round. In letter to Horace Greeley. a
few days after, Morrissey announced that he
had fought his last prize fight. He said
MY duties to my family and myself re-
quire me to devote my time and efforts tt
purposes more laudable and advantageous
| shall never enter the prize ring again, and
those who know me will not misapprehend
the motives for this resolution. 1t arises
from no fear OF any man, but from an hon
est desire more beconingly to dischs rye nv
duties to my family and society"
The way which the eI-pugilist selected
for the discharge Of those duties was to be-
come a gambler. From faro-desler he be,
came proprietor of a gambling hell in New
York city and it is said that at one time,
in 1874. he was owner Of or interested in
forty gambling saloons. He sold out his in
terest in most OF these in that year. lie

Worlds biography Of him says:
Perhaps the heaviest game ever played in
America was between him and New York
er, recently bankrupt, with whom he was
afterwards engaged in the lOttery-policy
business. Ii was played in 8 private room.
and, beginning early in the evening, lasted
all night. Fortune favored Mcrrissey.
First his opponents cash disappeared, his
bank account next. and long after mid
night be began mortgaging his property,
until in the early morning light he arose

He married the daughter Of Captain
Smith, Hudson River steamboat captain.
She was a very handsome woman, and proved
a devoted wife She survives him. They had

Of them.
Morrissey was, for some years, undoubt-
eddy very wealthy man; but money got as
