examination OF the general superintcn-

Ntssrs. Camp &. HIKES: Gentlemen:
am going 10 give you an account Of a
real impostor in the shape of an lrshman
in this city. who has made himselfricl, bv
begging among you Yankees. lie came
here about ten years ago. blind and poor;
a boy led him from door 10 door, begging
for cold victua,s in fact any thing YOU had
mind to give him in the way of food or
clothing: he soon found out that the Ca
nadians began 10 get tired Of his visits.
and after being here about two wears, he
took trip to the States to try his fortune
He there represented himself to be the
father of eight or ten children, an emf.
grant. and destitute of every thing 10
make himself and family comfortable: and
he succeeded beyond all his expectations.
lie returned after an absence of wear:
not only with good clothing. but gold and
silver. He deposited his goods with his
wife. who commenced a clothing shop.
and he then started Off again and went in
another direction, south; he returned
with better luck than before, and bought
corner lot of land. built frame house
and paid forit. Not satisfied, he started
again. and went TO New Orleans. ST. Lou.
IS and Texas, and returned in about a
year; he then commenced the foundation
ola brick dwelling house, worked away
at II as long as the money would last, and
when expended, would start again on a
begging tour through the United States
lie at last finished the two story brick
house. and his rents are now about four
hundred dollars per year tinsmith
called on him the other ,iav. for a small
claim for timing the roof of his new house,
and he was surprised TO find his wife Sc at.
ed IN a parlor carpeicl with sofas and a
beautiful organ, with which she PLAYED
hlm tune. On presentin. his account.
she told him he must wait until the return
OF her husband, as he was on a begging
tour in the States, and she was looking for
him every day. as he had written to her
that he had had good luck. and would be
able to pay all the little odds and ends
due upon the brick building, for he had
the dimes in his pocket. Now, Mr.. EJi-
tors. would like to know if this impos,or
should so through the world unwhippcd
OF justice. The mans name is - liza
ley; he is short and thick set, generally
wears white hat, green goggles, or some
times spccks, black hair, and rather pale
complexion. JouS Bull.
