INTENSE YILLANY.-Strangers persons not
we'll acquainted with the various rascalites of the
city will do well to be on their guard-generally {;
but we cannot rest satisfied with this vague eau
tion when we hear of such petty vilanies as occa-
sionally come to our ear, one of which we learned
yesterday from some of those who have suffered
therefrom. An Englishman who has been for
something like month established in an Of
flee near the head Of Wal-street, has been in the
habit of advertising for young men to do outdoor
Office business-representing himself as land
surveyor and as wishing to procure the collection
of small accounts, &c. through this city. Two
gentlemen have called upon lis personally and
stated that they answered his advertisement, Of
fering their services. They We're waited upon by
him in person, when he told them that the busi-
moss in which he wished to engage their services
was one of great responsibility, and that they must
therefore deposit with him security for their faith
fulness and good conduct. Each of these gentle
men left with him in pledge $30-and from the
do likewise within the last fortnight ne has pro-
cured several hundred more. He then gives
them letters to persons around the city and sends
them around merely upon sham business, to give
them show Of employment-never paying them
any thing or giving them any real business No
one of these young men knew that he had any
others in his employ. If this scamp be not mt
pnl l;,a 7 10 f,ra
in our CITY; and it should be borne in mind that
this is only ono of the thousand methods by which
the Industrious and needy robbed of the little
they have been enabled to secure.
70 A fortunate escape from drowning was ex.
pericnced last e,snng, by little son, aged six
years, of Mr.. Blake corner of Washington and
Bank streets, who went with some of his com
rades down TO West street, near hammond and
seeing the larger boys dive of and swim IL
the river, he deliberately pulled off his clothes
and jumped in, and whilst in the act OF drowning
he was rescued, at first to all appearance liteless
Dr. Miller was sent for, and arrived within very
short time; very slight appearance OF life wa:
discoverable and by the unremitting attention o.
the physician, together with the assistance o.
some kind neghbors, they succeeded, after severa
hours in restoring him alive to his distressed ano
anxious parents.
