RAVENNA,. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY g. 1853.

4 .ss Gypsy DELUsIoNs.-A gang of gipsies recent
4 ly visited Anne Arundel Co., Md, and while in
the vicinity of Bristol post office, Captain Robert
swindled by one of them out of $1,000. The
gipsies then left the neighborhood, and removed
to Washington, and the Republic, of that city tells
the following singular story of the mode in which
Captain Perry was swindled:-One of the gipsies,
an old woman, told him that treasure of enor-
nous value was secreted on his farm, but refused
to disclose its location unless he gave her $1,000
This sum was procured, placed in a trunk, and
locked, the key being given to Captain Perry.
In three days, the gypsy returned, and she and
Perry had an interview alone. The trunk was
opened, and the bundle was found exactly as it
had been placed. He was required then to go,
upon his knees, in order that her incantations per-
formed over the trunk, and money might have
their full effect. While SO engaged her cloak
fell upon the trunk, but she quickly replaced it
upon her shoulders. The MYSTERIOUS proceedings
being over, Perry was called to exmine the trunk,
and found it all right; he re-locked it and pocket
ed the key.
He was now told that the work was done, and
that the ninth day she would return, and if the
money. &C., in the trunk were all right, she wo'd
be at liberty to point out to him the exact locality
of the treasure on his farm The ninth day came,
but the gypsy did not appear, and after waiting
day or two longer the trunk was opened, but the
bundle in which the $1,000 was placed, was found
to contain only some two hundred coppers and
few leaves of tobacco! The gypsy had substitut-
ed this bundle for the one containing his money.
Capt. Perry followed the gipsies to Washington.
and had several of them arrested, but was unable
to identify the woman by whom he was deceived.
The house they occupy was searched, and, tied up
in handkerchefs, rags, and in kettles, boxes, &c,
the officers found large quantities of gold and sill
coin, amounting, it is said, to at least $4,000
Capt. Perry could identify none of his money
the greater portion of it having been in bills of
Baltimore banks
The Republic says that the victim to this super
stitious folly is man of respectable standing, and
adds:
"We still further have to regret to say, that
Captain Perry, on Saturday, not content with the
serious lesson he had received, actually visited
professional fortune-telter in Washington, to be
informed where it was likely he could find his
lost money"
