A Liar WITH ['MITT OP MOIST, On* evening
lan week a gentleman, apparently none the better for
liquor, nrrived at Winsboroe station by the last down
train and changed for Poole. He wee boasting he had
plenty of money, and, pro lacing a lugs roll of bank
notes, insisted on two of the porters accepting • £lO
note each. They at first declioed, but ia he said be
would throw the notes under the train if they did not
have them, they took • £lO note each. They nom-
munioated with the stationmaster, who did not happen
to be on the platform at the time, and with his Don-
sent went the neat day to Poole, where they found
the gentleman in question (not • native of these parte)
and told him of his liberality the prierVue night, at
the same time banding him back the notes. The
, gentleman thanked them, saying he must have had
too mash to drink, but said that as he had plenty of
money it would not have mattered to biro if they bad
not returned the notes. Ile then went into a shop,
cashed 000 of the notes, and gave the two porters
between thesis. The porters returned to Wit:aborts'
well satiated with haring dose a good day's work, and
would be glad to find a gentleman of this kind at
Wimbonse station once • wesk—Snasbury Journal.
