Albany, December 3, lS70-13y A Nice Little ; Party, A party of gamblers eat down to a game of euchre on election day on the umbrageous bank of a Kansas Creek. The sport went on peacefully for a while, until one of the gentlemen was discovered making use of that ignorance of the game which proved so exasperating. to Win. Nje and James Truthful in n famous passage of the Table Mountain. The ordeal of a battle was decided upon for a settlement of the points at issue. Two combatants fought a duel on horseback, in which they dis sected each other like Eealous young surgeons, and their horses catching tbe chivalrous infection bit and tore each other's necks and cheeks into'shreds. Yi hen the fight and one of the gamblers were finished, the survivor was promptly shot by n spectator, who had probably bet on a different result, and the fighting be came general. . The whole party were soon stretched out on the autumnal herb age, when, unfortunately, a physician (Dr. Lawrence, who tells the story) ; passed that way and rendered professional assistance, and it is feared that some of them may recover. ; Enticing Delicaci es. The "Besieg ed Resident," who sends such interest ing letters from . Paris to the London Daily Xtvo, says in a recent communi cation : "I dine habitually at a bouildon; there horse-flesh is often in the place of beef, and cat for rabbit. Both, however, are excellent, and the former is a little sweeter than beef, but in other respects much like it; , the Utter something between rabbit and squirrel, with a flavor of its own. It is delicious. I recommend those who : have ' cats ' with philoprogenitive proclivities, instead of drowning the kittens, to eat them.. Either smothered in onions or in a ragout, they are capital eating. ' When I return : to London I shall frequently treat myself to one of those domestic animals, and ever feel grateful to Bismarck for having tausht me that cat served up for dinner is the right animal in the right place Old Newspapers. Many people take newspapers, but few persons pre serve them. The most interesting read ing imaginable is a file of old newspapers. It brings up the very age, with all its genius and its spirit, more than the last labored description ot the historian. Who can take a paper dated a half a century ago without the thought that almost every name there printed is now eat upon a tombstone at the head of an epitaph ? The doctor, (quack or regular) that advertised his medicines and their cures, has followed the sable train of his patients ; tho merchant in his ships ; and the actor who could make others laugh or weep, can now furnish a skull for bis successor in Hamlet. It is easy to preserve newspapers, and tbey will repay the trouble, for like win;, their value increases with Circular.', New A Nwbleman A SAiia.V-Tue York Herald of December 7th says I Application ha? been to the" Uolleciof rhffSiatnma at Tlnatnti 'Kw an mtiKmtim'-iiiimi'l V.

The Washington correspon dent of the New York Herald, Decem ber 8th, says : The House Judicary Committee at the last session agreed to report the bill to repeal the Act of January 22, 18G7, which provides that the Fortieth and each succeeding Congress should meet at noon on the 4th of March immediate'' ly after the adjournment of the preced ing Congress. This determination of the Committee will be reconsidered, very probably, and it may be agreeed to , let the Act of January, lob7, stand, so that the next Congress will meet immediately at the close of the present oue. i o. . Gambling Extraordinary! Mar shal Bazaine is magnificent in his losses. The other day he surrendered at Mets, with 6,000 officers and 173,000 soldiers, a surrender certainly without a parallel in modern history. His losses at cards are on a similar scale. While in Mexico he .contrived to lose, at a single kitting at monte, $169,500. The wagers were not less than 100 ounces, 81, C00 gold and twice Basaine put $50,000 against the bank's. Bazaine was winner at one time by 8100,000, but finally the tide of fortune turned, lie paid up next morn ins like a man. ' Such feats as this - are oolr equalled by a lively day in .
