Flat-Boai Life on the Ohio.

go - - - ent
During the past winter therewere
from. thirty to fifty families, compris-
ing about one hundred persons, re-
siding in what are known as family
boats" at Cincinnati. These dwell
ings are fat-boats, which, having
served their original design as
freight-carriers, or, mayhap, trading
boats, have been purchased at a low
price, and after being covered have
become the homes Of a people; occa,
sionally they are floating still, but
generally they are to be found where
the high water has left them, here
and there on the river bank. A
tour among these unique residences
develops much that is interesting
A family boat, at its best, is by no
means a comfortless dwelling. AT
its best it is high and dry, "shored
up" so as to be level, has a tight roof,
and is divided into two rooms, light
ed BY half-windows. OF course it is
warm, for the shore is strewn with
driftwood. and to be the possessor
of a good axe is guarantee of COM
fort from a good fire. But good
boat is not the rule, aud the heavy
rains, or a freshet in the river, finds
them but poor substitutes for homes.
There is scarcely family without
at least three children. They are all
from other parts. Several are from
far up the river, one or two from
West Virginia, a number from Ken
lucky, while several have chosen
this mode Of living because it is
economical, mo rent to pay" and in
summer time far preferable to back
rooms in tenement houses. Some
times family in Pennsylvania, in
tending to emigrate, will purchase a
boat, place in it their household
goods, and start down the river
Whatever their original destination,
they may "beach" the boat and stay
from six months to three years at
some point between Pittsburgh and
Louisville.
Asa rule, the boats are merely
places Of residence. Occasionally a
boat devoted to the bone business
touches the shore. When this is the
case, it is usually accompanied by a
second craft for the use Of the family

along the shores of the river not be.

In all these clusters of family

A Rich Anecdote.

A short time since, a gentleman
an lady. fresh from Vermont, visited
our city for the laudable purpose Of
getting "jined for life" j. e., married.
After the ceremony was duly per.
formed according to law and doctrine,
the newly married couple repaired
to one of our first class hotels and
took lodging for the night. Instead
of shutting off the gas the youngman
blew out the light and went to bed
In short time the disagreeable
smell of the gas began to spread
throughout the house, and the ser.
wants were dispatched in sail direc'
tons to find from whence it proceed.
ed. After some search they traced
the odor to the room of the happy
couple, and knocked at the door,
which was locked, and asked him
what was the matter.
"Matter? nothing. What are you
disturbing me Tor? BECOME"
ne smell OF gas increased, and
at last the domestics burst open the
door and shut off the gas, the spouse
all the time scolding like a good
sun"
"Why did you not shut off your
gas?" inquired one Of the servants.
"Gas! what! | hain't seen no gas,
