AN IMPOSTER.

Our readers will remember that we. some
weeks since published all article from the
St. Clairsvle Gazette. giving an account
Of man calling himself Davis. who was
travelling through Belmont county. and
REPRESENTING that his father living near
Antioch. in this county. had his factory
destroyed by fire, and in the attempt to
save some Of his property his said father
had lost his life. This scamp whoever hs
may be. as will be seen by the article he.
low. from the Guernsey Times. is still car.
rying on his system of imposition. We
can say to the public that no such build.
ing. near Antioch, was destroyed, neither
has there occurred any fire in this county
Of the character alleged by this imposter.
No, one OF the names TO his forged paper
is genuine; nor is there any officer in this
county of the name of either OF those ap.
pended to his "parchment." The whole
thing is fabrication to cheat the comrnu.
nifty. The Times, after publishing the
article heretofore published by us, says:
This same Mr.. Davis. called at our
office on Tuesday morning last. and alter
perusing his papers, we told him that he
was published as an imposter. lie affect.

and read it to him. and then counselled
him 10 leave the "diggings" in as quick
time as possible. Before calling on US he
"roped" some four or five Of our citizens
out of sums from so cents to 81. In look.
ing over his subscription book we discov-
cred that he has been very successful in his
operations in the north part Of this county.
