account against a merchant in Front ST.
The boy received a check on the Man
haitian bank in payment, and went to the
bank to get it cashed. After he left the
bank on his way home, and when a few
doors from the Office of the Evening
Post, a man, with pen behind his ear,
overlook The lad, and asked him If he
was the boy that had just got the money
from The bank. Being answered eyes
the man observed that there was a
mistake, and that he must give up the
money, and Mr.. Philips must call at the
bank before 8 o'clock. The boy, believ.
ing him one OF the clerks of the bank,
gave him the money, apd we oeed not
add, that neither man nor money were
to be found at the bank by Mr.. p. The
clerks were all called up before the boy
but he could not Recognize the one who
