We saw yesterday morning specimen
of one of the tricks which sundry smart
men were wont to play off upon unsuspect'
ing persons East, who had more confidence
than knowledge Fifteen years ago there
were to be seen floating about New York
City, more plats of town sites in supposed
places in the West than would suffice tc
paper the walls of Gotham's largest hotel,
and rights to ncn-existing " lots" in non ex-
isting Settles" were transferred from hand
to hand under the spur o speculation, and
the greed of gold. Those who first started
the idea of creating a town on paper, die
well and pocketed large sums, but the game
was too good to be permitted to remain in
their hands and numbers of others rushed
in for share of the spoil. Time, and thu
accumulation of these snowy displays OF
nothingness, destroyed the illusion and laid
bare the cheat. The certificates Of title re-
main as curious testimony Of gullibility
practically passed upon, and the specimen
we saw yesterday read as follows III

This certificate entities the holder 70 Lot number

This is an old swindle, and succeeded vel
because ten years ago, it was not every
body who either came to St. Anthony, or
obtained correct information concerning it.
There has been new one which, measure
bly,, has thriven well, also.
Last winter, an cnterprising individual,
whose name we understand is Brewster,
arrived here, and among other operations,
actually made an addition" to St. Paul
from Boars Island to the western shore,
and caused plat of his water location to
be drawn 1t was by some means or other
recorded at Mendoza, the impression being
no doubt that the survey had been Oh
land on the west bank, extending westward,
and not on the bosom Of the Father ,oi,
Waters. Armed with this document the
individual in question proceeded below, and
at. Louisville, Memphis, and other places,
succeeded in disposipg Of lots to the amount
of over FIVE thousand dollars. A day Or
two since, one of his victims, from whom
be had procured about $500, arrived here
to ascertain the whereabouts Of his purchase,
and of. course felt his prospects iconsidera,
bly 'dampened when he found it. Perhaps
other anxious snqoirers will come, and find
their water lots" ,as,a,a5 = a" ,oa
