solntely thrown away. We have many times
warned them against the practices of the keep-

day do we hear of some fresh instance of ras-

swindling was made at Peter Funk establish
ment notsa thousand miles from here. -.
f "A stranger entered the shop, when his atten-
ton was arrested by a watch and a lot ofknves
which were &sput up for sale together, and
which the anctioneer declared were going for
almost nothing. The confding stranger bid
seven dollars and a half, when, to his great
astonishment, he was told that the slots was
his, at "great bargain" He took "A twenty

With these words he took D pistol from
