A NEW TRICK.

A lottery dealer in Broadway was i'm.
posed upon a few days ago by some
rogues, who palmed off upon him counter.
felt drawing of the Rhode Island Lottery Of
Wednesday. Before the true drawing was
received, one of the gang succeeded in
obtaining SIS, and eloped. They had
their arrangements well made, and if by
any accident the Providence boat had been
detained beyond her usual hour, the coun
terfeiters would have made a fine haul.
The drawing would have given them two
or three three number tickets! amounting
to some $500.

The, Boston Courier states that the color
ed population OF that city does not exceed
1900. This may surprise some people, but
ramble through the streets Of that city
will corroborate the truth of the statement.
Colored men are seldom seen, and almost
all the house servants are white. The pop.
ulation Of Boston exceeds 10000. The
blacks in Philadelphia, we believe, do moi
number less than 10000.
