Caution-A Ne~ Species of Fraud. Some
of our most quiet citizens were alarmed this
morning at an attempt TO defraud them OF
their money, against which man of even
more than ordinry prudence, could not guard.
The facts are briefly these. Two young men
had obtained some printed letters or circulars,
which they folded up in letter form, and then
obtaining the names and residences four cit
izcns from directory, they directed these let
tiers to them. They then obtained an old
post-ofiice stamp, with which they stamped
the letters, each letter being marked cents,
with red ink. With these letters they sailed
forth as letter carriers, receiving seven cents
apiece therefor. We do not know how many
they delivered, but they were arrested while
pursuing this profitable speculation in Full
ton street, and taken TO the police office
New-York Evening Post.

o. The New Orleans Courier says il
was proved conclusively at the late trial OF
the impeachment OF Judge Elliott that four
teen hundred Of the eighteen hundred nat
uralization certificates issued by Judge Ell
lott were obtained by the CLAY CLUB:
and that all the certificates fraudulently OBJ
tanned, were got by the same club! Not c
solitary case Of a democrat illegally natur
allied was shown. Judge Elliott, himself
a wing, issued fraudulent certificates to hi.
wing friends. They were probably not aware
of this fact when they raised the hue AMI cry
of fraud.

A Mad ELEPHANT Two keepers of
Messrs, Raymond's Menageric at Philadel-
phia were dangerously wounded by an ele-
plant which had been punished by one OF
them. 1t is said the elephant seized the

hook attacked and threw him to considerable
hight and distance. A second keeper then
came up, and endeavored to overcome the
rage of the furious animal, but this man he
also seized, mangled and tossed in the air
A large dog then flew at the elephant and

VENTILATION OF STEAMBoATs.-One Of
the Adiscombe professors, Lieutenant
Cook, R. NJ, F. r. S., has invented a
method of ventilating steamboats,. A
sylinder, with TOO valves at each end
through one, opening inwards, fresh air is
admitted into vacuum, which is, by the
next action Of the piston, forced through
the other valve at the same end, opening
outward into tubes, and by these conveyed
to every cabin upon each deck; while the
hot fould air, is at the same time drawn off
from these cabins into vacuum above the
piston. One two feet in diameter would
force in about 600 gallons of fresh air,
drawing off the same quantity Of impure
air. every minute! Large steamboats,
might have two cylinders. The fresh air
would be conveyed in a regular stream,
and not be intermitted in its effect.

Seventy-fve cents.
AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

The Federal Advocate, and the coon papers general
y. are publishing speech made some uhe3 since
by one Stewart Congressman from the Oge District,
Pennsylvania. Stewart we ebeleve, is brother.in-aw
Of Ogs aud his speech is made up Of about the
notorious falsehoods and slang which were scattered
abou, the country in 1910. At the time he delivered it,
Mr. Weller Of Ohio convicted him on the floor of Con.
gress, of telling lies in succession, and SO ashamed
were the coons Of the House that they would hardly
own the dirty libeer asa Wing. But Clays chance is
getting SLIM that they resort to all kind of false
hoods and misrepresentation against the Democracy and
their candidate, in order TO ward off public opinion from
their mlsdeeds, hence the resurrection and pubs
lication of the mass of lies selected from ogIes Budget
by his crony Steward. But we have Mr.. Weller'a
Speech which is based the public documents off the
country, and which shall publish in week or two
just to let The honest wings what lying scamps they
sometimes countenance as leaders of their party. So
look out for Weller on coon falsehoods.

CIDER SUCKERS LIES.

The last Federal Advocate contains a string Of stuff
written out by the Buzzard editor and signed "a. b.
DUDLEY," The cider sucker whiLh shows what Fl!
tool or cat spaw that old man has become father The
lies Of still greater knaVe, the old sinner of the Buz
zard He says among other things that we have charg
cd him with being poor. Now this is an out and out
falsehood. We never uttered such sentiment, and
venture to say no democrat ever hatored The thought
1t is purely whg, federal whig, and we have neve.
known i, used by any except federal wings. What W
did say about this cider sucker, was, tha, he had
influence, that lie cider sucker Of '40 voted
gainst the Democracy then, and had before. for
uugh, we knew. We say The reason of him having
no imlcnce, is because hs has no principle-a mar
that will wabbs about in politics he has done and sell
himself Tor half The price that Judas did, aid that in
shnpasers must be despissd by the honest Of all par.
ties and later be scorned by The corrupt
knaves who use him as they would beast Of The field.
The miserable assertion of this cider sucker that he
has been cheated Of thousands of dollars by loco
ocos is contemplate in the extreme, and shows from
his saying that he is very sG he would not be
cheated. But this is all lie got up by the Buzzad
editor to slander the Democratic party. lfyou should
call these gog brusers to prove what they say, you
would find them stradde of whiskey barrel, just
jus, sober enough to back out of one lie by telling ano.
