Gambling Tricks.

we heard gentleman speaking, a few eve

room just vacated by a parcel of Gamblers, in
this City, that through the plastering and
floor overhead, an Aperture had been made
through which doubtless some one above was
enabled to pry into the game proceeding be-
low, and communicate discoveries to his &C.
completes engasedin playing. By this means.
OF course, every advantage was afforded
them. and thus they were enabled to pIuck
and swindle all who were caught within their
meshes.
In this Development, however, there is
nothing new. 1t is we'll known that eyeyV
species of trickery and unfairness is resor

ruin their victims and yet with this knowl
edge, men viii gamble and risk with them

But, lest your readers should be weary,

a highly delighted family in the country.
The children are observing the toys and
other notions, of which they seem to be in
profound admiration, while the mother with
spectacles on, is examining the more sub
