ca The Hampshire Gazette contains the
following account ofan ingenious trick recent.
ly achieved in that town, by Northampton
constable.
Deputy Sheriff George F. Wright went to
Springfield few days since, to arrest a ,fe-
male, who was hived in neighborhood of
bad reputc, Not knowing the person he was
after, except by name, and fearing to enquire
for her lest she should escape, he assumed
the business OF census taker,' for the purpose
ofseeking her out. Having procured blank
book, he sailed into the neighborhood of the
culprit, and announced himself as having
been appointed to take the census of Spring
field. After having enumerated the popula-
tion oefve or six families he came upon the
person he was after, who very innocenIly gave
her name and that of her paramount. She
was immediately arrested and taken to North
nmpton. II this is not n specimen of Yankee
shrewdness, we don't know what is.
