he into the possession Of nine thousand dollars all
in cash Mr. W. Immediately, upon the receipt Of this
tars shop, and started for the monumental city to re-
ceive his fortune. Upon his arrival in Baltimore he
learned that the money which he had fallen heir was
in such condition that it could not be obtained for six
months Young w., anxious to get the money on sight"
offered to take 3d. 500 for the whole amount and finally
did sell his claim for S8,000 Overoyed the success
which had attended him. he fastened back to his home
Five hundred dollars expended the day after his
return in purchasing furniture, &c. for his house.
The old furniture sent to Woodrus and disposed Of
at auction the whole being sold for $47 such was its
ferior character. w., with his little family rented
house Longworth street at $500 year. and expended
quite sum Of money in having it repanted and white
washed W. feeling himself independent enough to play
the gentleman, commenced equentng the saloons and
restaurants Third in the day time and the thea
tres at night He made acquaintance speedily and very
literally treated them to oysters and other refreshments
and in return his friends invited him to play cards
and billiards at their expense The sphere in which
he was enjoying himself eclpsed his better judgment
that he persuaded to visit the gambling rooms
nearly $500 Night after night he continued visiting
these sinks Of niquty Of which is located Third

stopped and has sought redress in one Of our courts
Of justice Besides the fine furniture, clothing, &c. he
purchased he has only ST. 200 Of the 5000 left but
