replied.

stopped at an elegant brick Westinghouse,
the exact locality of which is no business

as a widow Of some years standing. On
learning the mission of her visitor, the lady
invited him to take a seat in the hall. Hav-
ing arranged himself into a working posi-
ton, he inquired for the number of persons
in the family of the lady.

ViIIainy,---A Novel and Ingenious
Trick.

The Cairo Sun says that a few days
since. two men with a wagon, when within
a couple of miles of Jonesboro, Union Co.,
Illinois. asked a farmer who was the heavi.
est merchant in that town. The farmer
mentioned some, and among the number
smoke of Mr.. Dishon. They drove their
WAGON upon up to Dishon's store and re-
ouested permission to place a box (Which
they had in their wagon, in his store for
the night. After urging some objection,
Mr.. D. finally consented to take the box
into his store room. The men put up their
horses for the night, and early the following
morning had their wagon at Mr.. DIS door
to get their box and start on their journey.
Mr.. D. then missed a bolt of fine broad
cloth from his counter. His suspicion be-
ing reused, he examined his desk and dis
covered that five hundred dollars had been
stolen during the night. He then told the
men that the box must not be taken from
the store until it was examined. They
swore that he might go to HI, for they
would take their box, and as they rushed
to take hold of it, Mr., D. stepped out anc
and locked them in.
Having obtained assistance, the door wa
opened and the men taken. The lid wa
knocked off, when a stout, daring looking
man sprang forth, and the missing cloth
money, and some silks, and a dark lanterI
found IN the bottom. The fellow pretend
ed to tern " States evidence" and declare,
he had long sought an opportunity to leav
the other men that to leave them volunta
rily would have brought their deadly ven
geance upon him; that he had never beef
detected before; he remained with then
only because he was compelled to do SO t
preserve his life that there are over ST
hundred men in the United States engage
in the same business; and that at the las
time he was at the general money deposi
station, the company had oUer fifteen bush
els of gold and silUer! He would not b
put in the same room with the two accom-
plices, fearing they would kill him. Th
two men swore to the officers that it wa
folly to put them in Jail, for they had MOI
ey and friends it would take at least on
hundred well armed men to guard them
and notified them that they could not poss
bly, be detained three weeks.
