The Hancock Courier Of last week, gives
short Biographical sketch Of one Samue
J. Rogers, person of some small notorie.
ty in this community. Itseems Sam. got
into good society at Findlay, married q
respectable girl, and wound up by swind-
ling, passing counterfeit money, and elop-
ing with an old fame, in the absence of his
wife. To those who know him there is
nothing out of character in all this, and we
comply with the Courier's request to pass
him round with some reluctance, know
ing that Sammy will be gratifed at getting
his name in the papers even in this con-
nexion. He is, to the extent of his slen-
der capacity the most perfect specimen ot
unmitigated corruption now cxtant, a dirty,
trifing, sncaking, libel upon humanity.
The gentleman who kept the boys from
egging him at Cary is fined half dozen
lemonades, with corresponding qualihca-
tions. We copy the article from the Find
ley paper, as follows:
THE ESSENCE OF A ScoUNDREL. -
We are requestedto to notice, for the ben
eft of the public, tic condust of SAMUEL J
RODGERS, who has been rather conspic-
uous parsonage in this community for some
time past. The cause of Sammy's motor
iety at this time are various: he came to
Findlay few months since, and by his
good address, gen;lemanly appearance, af-
fable and insinuating manner, was soonex-
tensively acquainted. Some time after he
came here, he married highly educated,
accomplished and loveable lady in Bucyrus,
but before twas generally known here that
he was married, Lis acquaintance hadbeen
formed by several young ladies and some
small gallantry accepted. After bringing
his wife home, however, his attention was
partially bestowed upon other ladies Of un-
certain character, betimes, and his odd
hours passed to the satisfaction of himself
and them. Rodgers was employed by
Mr.. JACOB CROWLEY, a Timer, of this place,
and received many favors from his employ
er. To cap the climax Of his villainy, be-
fore leaving, he borrowed twenty dollars
Of Mr.. Cronley, passed small bill that he
knew to be counterfeit, upon merchant,
and of another, to whom he was indebted
in considerable sum, obtained goods of a
trlfiing amount under false pretences.-
He also tried to borrow money: of a gen
tleman belonging to the same benevolent
order (the Masonic, of which he himself
was member; but did not succeed. AT
ter all this, probably thinking his pyramid
of fscoundrelism not quite completed, with
the assistance of one or two of the same
kidney, who would have favored this COM
munity had they gone with him Rodgers
dccamped accordingto arrangement, with
a young woman of Wyandotcounty, whilst
his wife was absent on visit to her
friends.
Mrs. Rodgers has warm sympathisers
in this community. -
Rodgers is man about FIVE feet and
eleven inches .high:-well built; about
twenty-five years old; nervous-sanguine
temperament; smooth, clear, good-looking
face, though rather rp-featured; light
brown hair;-greyish eyes;-promincnt
forehead; light eye brows; has a lisp in his
speech; israther communicative and great
laugher; wears his hat or cap somewhat on
one side of his head. He has probably
gone south or southwest, and newspapers
in those directions would favor the public
by passing him along the line. Editors
throughout the country will pleas notice
him.
