Boston Editor Su-iMdIed by 1hC
Mock Auction Process.

On Wednesday morning, Moses \. Dow,
the editor of the IidUeriy Magazine, ap-
peared before Justice BOgart, at the Lower
Police Court, and complained that he had
been swindled by Il gang Of mock auction
ecrs, in Chatham street. lie stated that
the sharpers had iieecCd him out Of Sl67 30
ia cash, by the following operation: The
complainant was boarding at the Clinton
Hotel, and had sailed out for a walk, when,
as hg passed by Chatham street he was at
tructcd at No. IL by tic cry Of Going,
going, for half price; must he sold. The
owners broke his leg, and wants the money
TO pay his doctor" Thus attracted, Mr..
Dow, thinking Of the main chance and
believing that he could make a good spccu-
latiOn on the handsome looking watch in
the hands Of the auctionecr, advanced to
the door and looked in. The auctionccr
and his outside aids saw at once that they
had a uibble, and 50 get their machinery in
operation at once, and Mr.. Dow, before he
was aware Of lis exact position, found him-
sclfin the back part Of the shop, surrounded
10y about dozen neu, who seemed very
much interested in the sale--one Of whom
finally addressed the complainant with con
siderable grace, saying, Friend, l stop at
the Howard House, if you will buy the
watch now up, for sum not exceeding
$3.50, I'll pay you well for your trouble"
The auctionecr proceeded, and MIR. Dow
bid against competition till he reached
$50, when the watch was knocked down
to him he paid the amount, but on looking
for the gentleman who stopped at the
Howard House" that individual was nc
where TO be- found. Some dissatisfaction
being expressed the watch was again seized
by one Of the auctioneers, and was soon

" it's gone, and to get il back, you must
come up with Sl7 80 as commission for our

Mr.. Dow paid over the amount, thus max
ing him out of pocket $lG7 50. The COM

Every nation has it, own peculiar fashion
of doing things. On portions of our own
coast, the fishermen take the tuny tribe by
iieans Of nets. Others. moving some dis
lance from shore, prefer to sink the lead and
hook, imprisOning their scaly captYes one
Iy one. On the rivers OF scotland, the
sportsman operates with the spear; and
night fishers upon our northern lakes. with
brilliant lanterns at the prov of their boat,
require no other implement for capturing
The fishes than a wooden scoop. But the
most original mode OF fishing Of which We
have ever Loard, is that adopted by the
Swiss peasantry. Below, we give descrip-
lion Of their mode Of fishing in the Vaois,
as described in that late work, The
Glacier Land"
Meanwhile, Maurice, who little thought
how his words had set me dreaming, was
up 10 his waist in watcr and beginning his
operations after n fashion entirely new to
me. First, he plunged his lantern down to
the very bottom Of the stream, holding on
10 the long tube which kept the lamp sup
piled with air, in this way, a large illumin-
ated circle was formed at the bottom of the
river, into which thronged the fish, attracted
like moths to the light, knocking them
selves against the shining globe, and
swimming round and round it, then Mau
rice gently raised the lamp higher, the fish
following the ascension, till all reached the
surface Of the water, W hen he adroiGy struck
